December

My Beautiful Family

We went to go see the temple lights, something we do every year. Gabriel said it's Jesus's house & that he knows everything about Jesus. He also said that he can't wait to go in the temple to be married to us. He's so sure of what he's talking about, it's so cute. We had set our date to be sealed as a family December 20th so Gabriel was counting down the days.

As you can see we were dressed for the cold 60 degree weather.

Visiting Santa Clause

Bella & I relaxing on the couch, I wish I could spend more time here but it is impossible with my two angels.

Happy 3rd Birthday Bella!

We had a princess tea party for Bella's 3rd birthday November 15. It was so fun, the kids had a blast. They had tea(apple juice & sprite) some yummy food, did crafts, played games. The girls dressed up as princesses & the boys dressed up as knights. The girls thought it was so cool that they got to drink out of glass cups. Bella loved it, we have tea parties at home all the time so she thought it was so fun. It was a lot of work but it was fun to see Bella's face, she was so happy. Happy Birthday Princess!

Just some pic's

Gabriel's first fieldtrip to the library.He's been waiting his whole life to go on a school bus, since he could talk he's been saying he wants to ride a school bus. I felt so special when he said he wanted to sit with me :), but on the way back he sat with his buddy Isaac.He was so excited & I'm glad I was there with him, I volunteered to go on the fieldtrip. It was fun.

Our one night getaway

Me & Ryan went to CA for one night, it was such a nice time to have a little break from the kids. We went for business but it was still so much fun. We went shopping & had dinner at Downtown Disney. This picture is on the balacony with a view of disneyland in the background, it was really pretty.

We stayed at a brand new resort, it was the first day they opened so we were the first to stay in the room. It was two bedrooms but that's all they had. It was nice & cozy. We had the opportunity to look at the presidential suite, it was sooo nice. It was 2600 square feet. Maybe next time we'll stay there:)

This is me almost 7months pregnant. I can't believe I have 2 1/2 months to go! I'm huge! My kids tell me everyday that my stomach is like a mountain. Today Gabriel told me that I have to put on my fat cloths because my pajama shirt wasn't covering my stomach. It's so funny what kids say, they are so honest.

Halloween

My princess & power ranger, they had a blast dressing up all month.

Dolphin Game

We went to the Dolphins game, they played the Cardinals. They got their butts kicked! It was Ryan's first Dolphin game & everyone knows how much Ryan love's the Dolphins.Too bad they lost. His brother Alan came down with the family.(The guy with the 31 jersey on was some stranger that wanted to take a picture with us) I'm not a real big football fan but it would have been fun to go for a team that actually scored so we could cheer, we pretty much just sat there the whole game while the Cardinal fans went crazy. It was fun until I got peanuts thrown at me. I went to the bathroom & some cardinals fan started saying crap to me then threw peanuts at me! I guess it made him feel more a man to harass a pregnant woman. Haha! it was pretty funny.



Me & my handsome little man
Ohhh so sad..........


At least we got to see a cool truck

Fun Times

We went camping for labor day weekend with my mom, dad, gabe, & my nephews. We had a blast, the kids loved it. We went hiking, sat around the campfire told scary stories, went to a fish hatchery. We just stayed one night which is long enough when you stay in a tent. It was nice & cool 70-80, a nice escape from the 100 degree weather.

Happy 5Th Birthday Gabriel!! We opened presents when he woke up, ate breakfast. Played with toys. We had his bday party that night at Bounce Jungle. It was soooo nice not have to do anything but show up, have fun & leave. Gabriel loved it, the kids have so much energy.

They were tearing eachother apart in here.

Happy Birthday to Gabriel! My little boy is 5years old! I can't believe it, time goes by too fast. He is such an amazing little boy. He was so excited to turn 5. He thinks he's so big, all morning he was going around the house saying "look mommy I can turn the water on all by myself, I'm taller than the table because I'm 5" he could do all that stuff before.

July

Happy 4th of July!
We had a BBQ at my moms, the kids swam then we went to watch the fireworks. The kids watched the fireworks in the back of Ryans truck. It was fun.

The kids loved the fireworks but got tired of them after awhile & was wondering when they would be done. Ryan was so fascinated by the fireworks, you can tell by the look on his face.
SUPERMAN!! Gabriel love's to be catapulted through the air. He's my little fish. He love's to dive & will swim halfway across the pool under the water. He's really good.


Putting on a show for mom, they all tried to jump in at the same time. My kids can swim all day if we let them. Bella does have a swimsuit but prefers not to wear it.

Gabriel's test for the Gold Stripe white belt

Gabriel was so excited to get his gold belt, his test consisted of having to do their fight stance and their form Kamsa & a bunch of things but the one thing that amazed me was they had to sit with their legs crossed & their eyes closed for about 2minutes, if they opened their eyes they wouldn't receive their belt. I was nervous for Gabriel because how many 4year olds can sit still with their eyes closed for 2minutes. I was so proud of him because he really wanted his belt & he worked hard for it. I can't wait for his next test.

Doing punches
He had to hold this position for a little bit.

BRAD PAISLEY

JEWEL
Julianne Hough
Chuck Wick

This was the best time EVER!!! It seemed like such a long time up to the night of the concert, I felt like a little kid waiting for christmas. It was so worth the wait. The concert started at 7:30pm, we got there a little after 6:30. They had all kinds of booths & radio stations. That's where I got the Brad Paisley hat. We also bought two bottles of water that cost $10, I've never spent so much on water but I'll tell you it was good water! We were at the booth of one of the radio stations where they were doing kareoke(??) & I had to go to the bathroom so when I came out Ryan said "I think one of the
girl singers you like was just here(at the radio station) after figuring out it was Julianne Hough. I asked him if he took a picture of her cuz he was really close & he didn't! He was star struck & didn't even think about it. The show was awesome, it started with Julianne Hough, Chuck Wick then the amazing Jewel that everybody love's. She was so beautiful & funny, Ryan said he was in love. So when taking picture's of these three my batteries died in my camera but not too worry I brought extra batteries... I put them in & they were dead too! I wasn't gonna let anything ruin my night so I said oh
well can't do anything about it. Ryan went to go see if anyone was selling them, while he was gone one of the workers came up to me & said "When your boyfriend comes back you guys can move closer to the stage, we have some open seats." I was ecstatic!!! Ryan came back & saw me smiling from ear to ear( he thought I found some batteries) So we got to move closer. It was such an awesome show,so much to look at, my picture's don't do justice, I had to turn my camera on hurry & take a picture before it turned off so they aren't the best. That was the most fun I've had

in awhile. I sang all the songs with Brad Paisley along with the rest of the crowd.

We didn't know we were low on batteries here.
