Best Husband Award

Brian gets the best husband award, at least for this month! :-)

Our anniversary is On Saturday, May 16th. 7 years!!! Anyway, we will be in Atlanta over our anniversary and won't even see each other, as Brian will be in the middle of his "man trip". So, we just talked about going to dinner the weekend after we get back. Well, Brian had something entirely different planned.

On Tuesday night we took the kids up to get frozen yogurt, we we got back Brian asked me to stay in the car, while he took the kids in the house. I asked him to hurry, because I had a presidency meeting to get to.

We he came out we started driving and didn't stop until we reached this place.....


(Castle Creek Inn)

Much to my surprise he had planned a night away, without me even knowing about it!!! He had lined up for his parents to stay with the kids, the room had rose petals everywhere, candles, he even packed my bag!!! We stayed in the same room as we had the night we got married.

I was so surprise and excited. We had a great night and I was very impressed.

As for my presidency meeting you ask????? He had called them to let them know I wouldn't be there. He really thought of everything!

Love you babe!

St. Georgie

Are friends were nice enough to invite us to St. George with them a few weekends ago. Thanks Kevin and Emily!!!

We had a fun time, but had to cut the trip short because Isaac got sick (shocking, I know)!! We normally would have stayed, but he wasn't sleeping well, had a 104 degree fever...so we left a day early.

We went to "Pirate's Pizza" before we left. Leila loved it.

One night we dropped the kiddos off at my mom's in Mesquite and headed to Vegas for some good eats and a little gambling. The picture was in The Belligio gardens, it was amazing. I however, look pretty chunky. I guess it is time to hit the gym again. Can't I just be skinny forever!!!

This is how Leila sleeps in the car, too funny. She covers her head with her blanket so that the sun doesn't get in her eyes.
Leila and Brooklyn
I L-O-V-E this picture, I think they both look so cute.


Once again, I didn't get any pictures of Isaac. I have realized that I don't take too many of him because he rarely feels well and is therefore crabby. However, tubes are around the corner as well as Spring, so I am optimistic that he will be feeling better soon.

Harmonica playing and a cute little boy....

As many of you know Brian is quite the harmonica player. Thus having them around the house, the kids like to play them. Enjoy the cute pictures below.




Isaac is now 9 1/2 months. At his 9 month check up he was in the 50% for weight, 98% for height and 25% for head size. The doctor projects that he will be at least 6 feet tall. Too funny, we shall see.

Happy St. Patty's Day

Wishing all my fellow Irish men (and women) a happy and fun day.

California

We packed up the kids and headed to San Francisco to visit Brian's sister Liz and her family. Stephen, Brian's nephew, was getting baptized and asked Brian to baptize him. It was a great excuse for a weekend getaway.

Stephen and Brian, I think this is a cute picture.

All the family in attendance.
At the hotel, getting ready to go for a swim/ hot tub. This was Isaac's first time swimming. He thought it was great fun. I just love his little swim suit. You don't get much chubbier then this. :-)
Leila wouldn't let me take her picture on the plane.
Isaac's first plane ride. He was a champ.

A really long post....

I found my camera, so here we go....

I L-O-V-E that Isaac is getting old enough to be entertained by Leila and I L-O-V-E that Leila is willing to play with Isaac pretty much whenever I ask.
Yes, Leila pretty much wears her nightgown ALL DAY LONG. It is a little over the top, but at least she doesn't want to wear it out of the house.
Last weekend Leila and I took a trip to Atlanta. My good friend Carol had a baby and tickets were a great deal, so we decided to take a girls trip. Despite the fact that Leila was sick in Atlanta and Isaac was sick at home with Brian we still had a good time.
Cassie and Chloe were GREAT play/ being patient with Leila
Sad to say this is the only picture that I got with Carol. We were in the car at a stop light (she is looking at the light) and my face is large and in charge. Ohh well, I can't be beautiful all the time. :-)
The happy trio.
We also had a great time visiting with the Rogers. They all played great together without a fight.

We had Brian's sister and her family visit over Christmas. Since they were here for almost 3 weeks, we had to fill the time with fun activities. On day Joyce took us to the zoo. One might ask, the zoo in the winter??? The weather wasn't too cold and since it was feeding time the animals were up close and personal. We had a great time. Thanks Joyce!
Isaac was our own little teddy bear. He is a good trooper.
Mi Madre came up for Christmas. It was her first time seeing little Alyvia and of course Isaac has practically tripled in size since she last saw him.
Nana with her 5 grandbabies...
This is what our house looked like after all the present opening. Little Nathan was enjoying the quiet time.
Happy 1st Christmas Isaac. He loves to eat paper (or at least try, since I really don't let him) so he was happy as a clam.

Leila asked Santa for this Snow White doll foe Christmas. Too bad she has already forgotten about it. Ohh well, it wasn't super expensive.
One of her favorite presents her Wall-E and Eve toothbrush. I love that commercialism helps her want to brush her teeth.


Christmas Eve everyone went to Brian's parents house. We had a great dinner, read a Christmas book and sang Christmas songs.


While Liz and the kids were here they pretty much played outside all day. It was great.
Sweet boy.

Bummer!

I am really sad, I lost my camera and it had all the pictures of Isaac's first Christmas on it. I have no idea where it went, but I have turned my house, car and diaper bag looking for it. SO......I won't have much to post until I get a new camera.
