Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Yesterday Brandon had his class Valentines party, I. of course, was one of the mom's that came in to help, I also baked the cupcakes! Boy I miss the days where all you had to worry about was going to school and playing. He really enjoyed himself and loves when I come into the class so he can show me everything he has done! The kids got all kinds of Valentine cards and I sent Brandon a love gram, you know those things that the school does to raise money! It was a nice surprise for him, it made him feel extra special!

Rain in Cali!

For those of you that don't believe it rains in Southern California well here is our proof! It has been raining nonstop today and everyone down here is freaking out because it might flood. I keep telling everyone this is nothing compared to what I just went through in WA. Also it is suppose to rain for 3 or 4 days and the news people are calling it their winter storm! HAHA! They don't know what a storm is, right????

Cutest Kids!!

I am so excited, Isa is becoming quite mobile on the floor and she is such a happy baby! She gets up on her knees briefly and she is really good at scooting backwards. She also turns in circles really good. It wont be long before she starts crawling. Brandon is such a great big brother, he is so patient with her and she absolutely adores him. It is weird because with Brandon everything was so quick, he did everything ahead of schedule. With Isa it is completely different, she is perfectly content just laying there. I am sure she will do everything just fine, it will just be on her terms and when she is good and ready. Also I thought you all would like to see what a gorgeous family we are and how precious my little angels are!!

San Fancisco

We recently went to San Francisco to visit Dave’s Nana or as Brandon says Mamasita. I was a great trip! She lives two blocks up from Fisherman’s Wharf so we were able to do just about everything just by walking out her door.

As most of you know Brandon is really into Thomas the Train so San Francisco couldn’t be a better place to see all of the different types of transportation. He really wanted to ride the trolley, which he called Toby (a character from Thomas) and then as an added bonus he was able to ride the other street car, which he called Daisy (another character from Thomas) He was to excited to see all the different types: trains, trolleys, planes, barges, and double decker buses. He didn’t stop talking about this trip for days.

It was a great trip and I hope we can do it more often now that we are only 5-6 hours away!

SUPERBOWL!!!

Well yesterday was Superbowl Sunday, I love that day!! We were invited to our friend’s house to watch the game; it was a lot of fun! We, of course, had all the football food: chips & dip, fruit w/chocolate, veggies, pizza and beer. My friend Kristin is into making those really cool cakes, so she made one for the game, it was her first one! I think it turned out great!!

I think over all it was a great game. I really didn’t care who won, but was leaning more towards Arizona because there were representing the NFC West and they were [laying the Steelers, which in case you don’t remember, beat the Seahawks a few superbowls ago! The catch at the end of the game was absolutely amazing; I don’t think he would be able to make that again if he tried. The game definitely had all of us on our feet and watching until the last seconds!

Overall it was a very fun day!!

Los Angeles Zoo

Hello, Hello! We went to the LA Zoo today, it was a lot of fun! They have all the really cool animal: lions, tigers, bears (oh my!), giraffes, elephants, rhino, hippo, gorillas, chimps – well you get the picture! Although, there were two down falls, like a dumby I forgot the camera so there is no record of us being there and there was a million people there! Today must have been Zoo Day because everyone and their brother was there. I am not one to generally complain about other kids because of the two I have, but people were just letting their kids run everywhere! Personally there were entirely too many people for me to just let Brandon run a muck through the zoo! Brandon loved every part of it, for some reason his favorite animal today was the Zebra! He even took the map and was telling us what direction to go to make sure we didn’t miss them. When we got to the zebras we got more than we bargained for because one of the make zebras had his loooong member out for everyone to see. Of course, Brandon saw it and of course, wanted to know immediately what the lone thing in between its legs was! We told him as best we could and then quickly moved onto the other animals! HA HA! We ended up buying a year membership, so this will be a great way for us to have cheap fun throughout the summer! Hopefully next time I wont forget the camera so you can share all of our wonderful experiences!!!

Just some cute pictures!!
