Hurricane Harbor

With the temperatures being so high my mom and sister took the girls and I to the water park here in town. Jake got a call out and I didn't want to sit at home so we went along and our air conditioner is still getting installed so we needed to cool off.

Jessica, Talia and my sister Diana on the tram at Magic Mountain.

We had so much fun, Talia was a little weird about the water slides but after a few minutes we could not get her off of them. I would of took more pictures but i didn't want to get the camera wet.

Soccer Pictures

Can I just tell you how HOT it has been! I had to take Jessica to get her pictures done with her team on Saturday, she looked so adorable. Jessica is on the American Girl's team and she got to wear her uniform for the first time.

Waiting patiently in line with her team to get pictures.

Jessica and her little pal Shelby

There are 6 girls on the team, Jessica is the girl on the end on the left.

School Project

Jessica has project for school that I figured today would be a good day to do. She had to make a tresure chest for class. Kealyn REALLY wanted to help so I got out the hot glue gun, shinny stars, little jewels and glitter. I have to tell you they were having so much fun doing this. I controlled the hot glue gun and Jessica and I went back and forth on the glue stick. Kealyn was only allowed to help put stuff on. I let Jessica call the shots, and oh boy she did just that!

He's turning the big 28

My sister inlaw had a great get together at her house today for my brother's birthday (which is Tuesday). My family and my sister inlaw's family were all there and we were able to have a nice dinner and catch up on what everyone has been up to lately.

The kids had a blast and were able to run around in the backyard while the ladies watched my brother's wedding video. I swear it seems just yesterday that we were all getting ready for that wedding and October 4th will be a year. Time really flies, and just watching the video Igot teary eyed seeing my little girls and how big they are now.Talia and her daddy!

Happy Birthday Renzo, we love you....

A night of celebration

Tonight Jake, Kaelyn and I went to Julie Snow's wedding reception over at the Cummings home. It was really fun to see so many people and get to chat and catch up. Julie looking absolutly amazing and was just glowing like crazy.

My good friend Penny showed up and I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this girl. She is just such a down to earth happy person that is so possitive, and loving. I was really happy to spend time with her and catch up on life.

Kaelyn and Natalia were everywhere and wanted to dance, I feel like I had a full blown workout just from chasing them.

Sister Snow was so kind and stop a few of us and gave us a beautiful arrangement from the wedding to take home

Finally

Finally Jake and I bought a new car! We have been looking everywhere for this car. We both said that we have settled for less so many times or that we should of got this and never did.

Yesterday I saw a SUV down in Santa Clarita and I called my dad and asked him to come with me to look at it. So we went down there and I just let my dad talk. My dad is a great negotiater and he ended up knowing the manager there. The manager actually sold my dad an aerostar van 20 some years ago and has sold my dad a car many times. See when you bend over backwards for my dad he will do the same for you, he is a very loyal man.

After my dad going back and forth with them we got the deal we wanted and I love the SUV alot. We got the Yukon XL 07' fully loaded.

The spanking stick

When I was little my dad had a stick that had his kids names on it and if you got in trouble he would tell you to get the spanking stick. ouch!

As a joke my dad got a long wooden spoon and on it there is my girls names. So when the girls act up he says "where's the spanking stick?" They run around and laugh he chases them around the house.
