The Mellem's Visit!!!

We had a GREAT surprise a couple of weekends ago!!! Tim's sister Mary Beth and her family came to visit us spur of the moment. We were so excited to see them and have them come up here!!! They haven't been to our house since we've lived in good ol' Yuba City, so even if it was just for a day and half, we were so happy to have them here!! Kyle and Lily are so cute together, they are like 2 peas in a pod!! Silly Uncle David play cowboy's with the kids. We had a great time seeing them, and wish we could spend more time with them, but the time we do get we definately cherish!! Thanks guys for coming to town, it meant so much to us and we love you so much!!! Kyle is still asking 2 weeks later "Whews Wiwe??"(Where's Lily) It is so cute, he loved playing with her!!

Ciarra Graduates!!!

Last night was Ciarra's 8th grade Graduation. She asked me to come do her hair and make-up. She looked absolutely beautiful!! It was a very nice ceremony, and we are so proud of her! Congrats Ciarra, and we wish you all the luck in High School! We were so happy to be part of your special day and we love you!

Aubree's 2!!

I can't believe it!!!! We had a BBQ for Aubree's 2nd B-day!!! Yay!! Happy Birthday Aubees!!

Very Quick Trip Down South

My sister Tami was so kind to give us her crib and dresser for new baby Kody, so we came down for 2 days to come pick it up... We were able to spend a little time with my family, Tim's sister's family, and see Marissa really quickly. We had a good time. We miss everyone so much. Tim was actually able to come with Kyle and I this time, so that was really nice for me to have him with me. We went swimming with Little Lily.. Oh my goodness, what a cutie pie!! Did a little shopping with Mimi and Aunt Becky and CJ. Tim couldn't resist putting his cowboy hat on CJ, and he looked so adorable in it... SO thank you Tami and Marissa for the baby stuff, we appreciate it so much!! We will see all of you again after Kenny is here probably sometime in August!!

Water Fun!!!

We have this awesome water facility here in town, and I have been so excited to check it out.. Kyle Loved it.. They have a huge sprayground for little tikes, and it is only 18" deep. It was really cold that day, but Bubba Boo still had a lot of fun!!

Happy Easter!

Here are some of the pics taken this weekend for Easter. We all went to Connie's house for dinner. We did a little Easter Egg Hunt for Kyle and Aubree. Kyle had fun, but was over it after finding about 6 eggs. The night before Aubree and Kyle dyed Easter Eggs, MAN.... was that a task with 1 1/2 year olds..... but fun memories... The Easter Bunny brought Kyle some goodies and toys. He got cool Dude Sunglasses, so now he can be just like his Daddy, some water toys, coloring books(he LOVES to color), some candy(he had Peeps for breakfast), and some other stuff. We had a great day and we hope everyone else had a great day too! Cousins!!!! We love them ALL!!!

The cake I made!! Numm-O!!

IT'S A BOY!!!

We had our ultrasound today, and found out that our newest little addition is another little boy! I have to admit, that yes, at first I was a little disapointed. I was hoping for a girl, because this will be our last baby, and I just wanted all of those little things that come along with having a little girl. After about a half hour of uncrontrollable crying, I became really happy! I know that boys are AWESOME, and now Kyle will have a little buddy by his side. It will be a blast to have 2 little men that hopefully, both will be "Momma's Boys"!! Tim is elated!! To be specific... when they told us, he threw his hands in the air, and yelled..."I am the MAN!!!".... hahahah... He will be a great Dad to both of our boys.. I see a lot of fishing, camping, and possibly hunting in our future. So here is his first little pic.... Oh yah... His name will be....

Our Little Valentine!

Mimi came to visit us just in time for Valentine's Day! We made sugar cookies for my family here in town and went and delivered them. We were so happy to have her here again. Kyle had a blast, and lots of lovey dovey time with his special Mimi~!!!! He can say her name now, so it is cute!! Kyle is so much fun!! He does so many cute things, anf Tim and I just love to watch him. This kid has so much energy, it is crazy! He never stops moving. He loves to dance to any kind of music. Just give him a beat, and he starts shaking his little booty!!! He still isn't really talking, just saying a few words.... Dada, Momma, Mimi, bus, trash, please, "Wh's it?", maybe a couple more... But we know he will talk more when he is ready to..

We hope everyone had a great day filled with lots of love... We find out what the baby is next week.. so stayed tuned!!!!! YAY!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

So this year Tim decided to start some traditions. So he helped Kyle get milk and cookies for Santa together, and helped him write a note to Santa as well. I had to find the "Twas the night before Christmas" poem online to print out(I know.. dumb.... I haven't even bought it yet) so Tim could read it to us. Suprisingly Kyle sat in his lap through the whole poem(it was really sweet to watch). Last year Tim and I did start our little tradition of wrapping and setting up Christmas together after we put Kyle to bed. Tim gets the big jobs, and I do most of the wrapping.

Kyle had a wonderful Christmas day! I think he got more than he wanted.. but the things Kyle loves most in life...(other than his Mommy and Daddy) are
1. Thomas the Train
2. Mickey Mouse
3. His car (well now it's a favorite)

He was so excited to see that Santa brought him his own car.... He also loved the gifts Mimi and Papa sent for him to open!

The Beymer's came over for brunch, and we had a great day! It is always nice to spend holidays with the people we love. We hope everyone else had a good Christmas, and has a Happy New Year! We are so incredibly thankful for all of the love we have. We are looking forward to this next year bringing us new and exciting experiences. We know we are so blessed everyday for the things we have, the health we all have, and the love we all have!
