Las Vegas baby!

This year Joe's cousin Dan and his wife Amber invited us to go with them to spend some time in Las Vegas. We got a hotel room at the New York, New York and had a great time. We went to see Le Reve (Cirque de soliel) show all done over water, I got to go to a day spa with Amber, we ate at great restaurants: Ruths Chris, top of the world, ( we even at at Bobby Flay's from Iron chef restaurant, the food was fantastic) and just relaxed. It was fun spending time together as a couple, and with family. I look forward to doing it again some day.

Sisters weekend

Every other year, my family, sisters and my mom get together and spend time together with out the kids and husbands. This year we had a great time going out to eat, and just having fun. We went to Pageant of the masters in Laguna, the sawdust festival, saw Harry Potter and went to a Angel game. It was so fun chatting and just being together. I didn't sleep enough that it took me a long time to recover. I sure look forward to that next year!



The funniest part was that our seats at the angel game were behind the homeplate but we were the very last row on the top and we still had a great time watching the game and fireworks!

Mavericks Game

Joe won our family tickets to go and see that Mavericks play (our minor league team in the high desert). The kids had a great time eating peanuts and popcorn. At the end of the game they even got to run the bases. We enjoyed ourselves!

I am a big girl now!

Yes! Miracles do happen! Last Tuesday I ask Jenna if she wanted to be naked or wear panties. She said panties. It has almost been a week and I think I have a potty trained girl! I am so excited to not have to use diapers anymore I want to do the happy dance. She even likes to go by herself! It is a total milestone to have my last child out of diapers what a magical thing!

Happy 4th of July

This year we went down to my parents for the 4th of July. We got there on the 3rd and spent two days with family. It was a lot of fun with swimming, good food, seeing family and enjoying a amazing fireworks show. For the last two years we have gone to Bonita high school (it is in Laverne) fireworks show. They have a band play and everyone hangs out, dances, and just enjoys the atmosphere. It is like a big tailgate party. This year was no different, in fact, most of my family came. All but two siblings came to enjoy the time. It was great! We had a lot of fun!

We had a great time hanging with cousins before the fireworks began!

Camping at the beach

We went camping at the beach a second year in a row with my sisters family and the Wheelers. The sad part was Joe did not get to join us because of work. We still had a great time building in the sand, having fun campfires and hanging out with family and friends. I look forward to next year, I think this has become a tradition!

My sisters boys found alot of drift wood and made some pretty cool forts. They became the place to hang out when the kids needed naps!

I just could not resist this picture, Jenna looks like she is having too much fun!

She is 3!!

Jenna just turned 3 years old. I can't believe my baby is now a big #3. She is very independent and fun. She just had her birthday party where she swung at a pinata and ate pink cake! I think she had a great time!
