Happy Birthday Baby

So my sweet Little one turned one. He has grown so fast! The day after his Birthday he started to walk. He has amazing balance and he looks so small to be walking already. I can hardly believe that he has been in our lives for that long. His eyes are an amazing blue and his curls are starting to look messy. We are blessed to have him in our lives.

It is such a nice day.. The weather today reminds me of the Beach. I love the beach. I have wonderful memories of the Beach..It just started to rain..I love the sound and smell of rain.. My 2 little boys are playing.. playing so nicely... I love my little boys! My sweet baby will be 1 on friday.. It went so fast... I love my family.. my husband.. my daughter.. my mom (she's coming today :D) .. My sister is amazing (i hope she knows it)... I love Fall, it is my favorite season... I should clean or do laundry.. no i think i will play with my little boys... no one come over today and see my messy house... it can wait my little boys will not be little much longer...

Water and a Storage Tub

So, we are (my hunny and myself) sick. I let the 2 middle kids go outside and get wet. I heard them laughing. I turned to watch them. I opened the door to ask what they were doing. (they are sitting in a storage tub full of water) They both yell excitedly.."We are getting Baptized!"....I guess they do listen.

13 Wonderful Years

So it was 13 years ago today that my Sweet Husband and I were sealed together forever. I remember it still very clearly. We walked together alone from the Temple apartments to the Los Angeles Temple doors where we waited for our parents. President Davies Sealed us. I had known him my entire life (at that time all 19 years of it). It was wonderful, beautiful, exciting, scary, new and we were off. Outside to pictures and greet friends. I was so skinny! I remember sitting on a bench in my dress talking to William. I asked if he was happy. "Of Course" he said. Then I told him good because now he couldn't get rid of me so easily..we were stuck....together...forever... I was so excited!!!

So now as I look back on 13 years of Marriage, I wonder how we have made it? We have accomplished a lot. We lived off of $6.25 an hour when we were first wed. How? I don't know. But we did. We also have achieved the following:

1999 - Our first child is born

2000- I graduate from CSUB

2000- I start teaching Kindergarten Wm goes back to school

2001- Finish my Teaching Credential

2001- Bought a house ($69,000, 3 beadrooms)

2003- Miss K joins our Family

2003- May, my Father Dies (hardest day of my life)

2004- Wm graduates from CSUB

2005- Leave our "home" and move to Northern California (take a pay cut)

2006- Baby #3 comes to us

2007- I get to teach Kindergarten again! (Best year ever)

2008- Got laid off/ bought a house a week later baby number 4 has joined our family

2009- am loving being a stay at home mom

So we have had a lot of fun over the last 13 years. I know we will have more as the years continue forward. I know that we were meant to be. My sweet man treats me like I should treat him. I know he loves me and our loud crazy little ones. He makes me want to be a better person. I lets me be. He believes in me. He has unwavering Faith.

I love you!

We spent the day at the beach and then got to go to the movies. It was wonderful! Thanks auntie Gina!

The 4th of July

The fourth of July is a special day. We not only get to celebrate our Wonderful Country but we also get to celebrate my Birthday! We had a great time BBQing with our friends, hanging out and the best part...Watching fireworks! We now live VERY close to the city's fireworks show and were able to enjoy it from our front yard (o-kay our neighbors front yard had a better view so we were there). It was an amazing birthday! The day was just perfect! Thanks everyone..and enjoy the photos!

Start the day with pancake breakfast and face painting!

Oh and don't forget the cotton candy!

Then head down the street for the Parade!

Happy Birthday to Me! YUMMY Brownie and Heath Bar Triffle!!
