Chris Jr.(CJ) is here!!!

My little brother Chris and his wife Becky welcomed thier 1st baby last night. He wasn't due for another 3 weeks. I think he just missed his cousin and couldn't wait to come and play with her again. Christopher Jr., we're just gonna call him CJ, weighed in at 6lbs 8 oz, and 19 1/2" long. As you can see, he looks JUST like his daddy! Such a cutie!!! We are so excited for them. He was born with all 10 fingers and toes, strong and healthy! SO... needless to say our family has had a pretty exciting last few days. 2 new beautiful babies, 1 boy and 1 girl. We can't wait to meet him. Congratulations, and we are so happy for you!!! We love you all, kisses and hugs!

Ciarra's 13th Birthday!

Ciarra turned 13 years old this weekend, and she had asked me to make the cake for her. I was so honored to do so! My mom sends me cute cake and cupcake ideas all the time from her "home" magazines because she knows I enjoy baking and decorating, and she had sent a "Flip-Flop" cake idea, and I thought it would be perfect for Ciarra. So I tried it. Ciarra came over all day and helped. The colors didn't turn out as well as we had hoped, but still cute. The sand is crushed up graham crakers, and the water is sugar and water boiled to make candy. We had fun, and she had a great birthday!!

Yuba River

Well, it's not Havasu... but it was still a lot of fun, quite possibly much better to me at least due to it's close proximity!! We went about 10 miles away.. and just played in the water... Again the water was a little too cold for Kyle.. but he enjoyed just sitting in my lap in the water eating his watermelon. He also really enjoyed just being a boy, getting dirty playing in the sand. Those of you who know me...know... I HATE sand and dirt. So needless to say I had a hard time even letting him sit in it. I guess I better get used to it. We all had a great time, just hanging out. There is a rope swing, so that was fun to jump off...the current is so strong, so it was a little hard to get to it. Anyways.. I look forward to more days like this in our future. I am realizing that it is really nice to live somewhere, where there is SO much outdoor stuff to do so close.

Happy 4th!!!!!

We went up to one of the river's around here... It was about an hour and half away. It was absolutely beautiful. We all just played in the freezing cold water. The water was too cold for Kyle, he just screamed. After the river we went to the Beymer's for a b-b-q, and shot off our own fireworks. It was a great 4th, and we all can't wait to go back to that river. We hope everyone else had a great day too!!!!

So tired!!

This is the view from the Beymer's.. It is so beautiful!!

We went to go spend the day with Aunt MaryBeth and Uncle David and cousin Lily. Kyle and Lily played so well together. Everywhere one went the other was right by thier side. It was so cute. They were so happy together. It was so nice to see them. I had a great day, and I'm positive Kyle did. His Aunt spoiled him as usual. We won't see them for Kyle's 1st birthday, so she gave him his birthday present early. Everything Tonka and Nascar possible.. and of course Camo sunglassses to match his Daddy. We are so thankful for MaryBeth and everything she does for us and our little man. Thank you MBM!!! We miss and love you guys so much!!!!








After thier house we went to go see Danielle and her fam.... It was also so nice to see them. I miss my friend so much. Trent kept giving Kyle hugs..it was so cute. And of course he got to see his Mimi Carol.... We love you guys!!!
