A few of the pictures we took of the kids while we were together last month. Hope you all had a Happy Easter.

Trip to Kansas

We took a trip to Kansas to visit family and friends the second and third week of March. We had a great time. I still haven't gotten all my pictures downloaded but thouht I would share a few of the ones that have been downloaded. I will try to update again soon.

Snow in Southern California

After 4 days of rain we woke up this morning to snow. Brianna came in my room this morning and I had her look out the window and she was so excited she gasped and said, "snow." Then she said, "It snowed after Christmas?" I guess she didn't know it can snow after Christmas. I was afraid it would melt off so I took her out before I went to work and we threw a few snowballs at each other and then made a little snowman. Tonight when I got home our snow was gone but our snowman is still there (well part of it anyway). The mountains and hills were beautiful. Today I looked out the window of my office and saw a rainbow. Behind the rainbow we could see the mountains covered with snow. I think that is the first time I ever saw a rainbow with snow behind it. It was gorgeous but of course I did not have a camera to take a picture.

Kierra is 2 years old

Kierra turned 2 on January 8th. I was off work that day and got to spend the day with the girls. Kierra's birthday started with waking up to a soft pink dog from Uncle Alan, Aunt Melissa, and the girls. She loved it as you can see in the pictures. Then we got dressed and started out on many errands that Mommy had to get done on her day off. Just before lunch we picked Sammie up from school and went to McDonald's for lunch and time to play in the playland. The girls all had a wonderful time playing then it was home for a nap and quiet time for mom. Kierra had a good day. I just can't believe my baby is 2. We still have to have her official party but I had to work that weekend after her birthday and we just haven't gotten around to having a party. Thankfully she is to little to notice and will enjoy the party whenever it is.

Merry Christmas 2009

Sick and tired of smiling for pictures.

Fall Fun

These are not in order but we have had a fun fall so far. Last weekend I took the girls to the pumpkin patch. They rode a couple of rides and enjoyed looking around. Mom sent the girls each a Tinkerbell outfit so tonight they dressed up and we went to Grammy"s (Aunt Bobbie) house. Grammy had candy for them of course and they enjoyed seeing the other kids in their costumes. Mom made it one more year without really trick or treating. One of these years Brianna is going to figure it out but thankfully she didn't ask why other kids came to Grammy's to get candy. They had fun anyway so that is all that matters.

Tinkerbell's



I didn't know Disney sold these. Brianna was playing in this box today and she told me that I should "Close the box and put sticky tape on it and send me to MomMom."
Kierra put her own church shoes on (on the wrong feet) with her pajamas.
Fun at the pumpkin patch.

A new addition to our family!

Brianna and Kierra would like to announce the newest addition to our family!

Brianna's been asking for a baby and we didn't plan to accomodate her request but....





yesterday we discovered we not only have one new baby but 9 new babies.


We started a month or so ago with 6 neon tetra's and was down to only one survivor. Daddy and Bri made a stop at the pet store yesterday and bought 4 new fish. They brought them home and put them in the tank with the one surviving tetra. Later I stopped and looked in the tank to check on the new fish and saw a tiny baby fish. I asked Wesley if there were any baby fish in the bag with the fish they brought home and he said he didn't think so. We got to looking and counting and now we have 8 or 9 tiny baby fish swimming all around. Brianna is quite excited to say the least.



P.S. On another note. Mommy's baby girl is growing up way too fast.
