Update

So the update on the Texas thing, is that it is now unsure. We will find out later this week if it is happening or not. It looks like they are seriously considering someone else instead. I have mixed feelings about it. I am fine with staying in California, don't really want to go through all that work again. But if we moved to Texas we could live in a house! Oh the space! So we will see. Right now all I can think about is that in 5 days I will be on vacation in Hawaii with no children! I can feel myself relaxing already. :)
Have a great day everyone!

Dallas, Texas

That's right people, we will most likely be living in Texas by May of 2010. Jeff has a huge opportunity for growth out there in the Dallas area and we are going to take advantage of it. I must admit that the thought of having to pack, AGAIN, makes me a little sick to my stomach and makes me want to go to sleep for a very long time. I get tired just thinking about it. But I am also very excited for this new adventure. I am going to miss my friends like crazy, but hopefully there will be some new ones to be made. :) This offer isn't final yet, so there is the slimmest chance that we will be staying here in California, but from where it is right now we will be moving very soon.

Andrew's Family Bday party

We celebrated Andrew's birthday on Sunday. My baby is 7! Well on the 10th he will be. I can't believe it. He has matured so much this past little while it is amazing to watch it happen. He is a good kid. He loves playing with his friends, and he will do anything outside he can. He is not one to sit in front of the TV. That is Ethan's job. :) He wants to be out riding bikes, scooters, whatever he can do. Which unfortunately doesn't happen a lot because we live in an apartment. But that will be changing soon. Anyway he had a great birthday party with family. It was also Vienna's baptism & tanner was ordained to an Elder. He is putting his mission papers in on March 1st.

Ava

This is the little baby girl I babysit everyday. She is so cute!

January

all my January pictures got deleted, accidentally, from my new camera. :( So SAD!

Christmas montage

The order of these pictures will make no sense. I got messed up as I was uploading them. They are pretty self-explanatory though.

SURPRISE!

Nope, my friend Rachel got a hold of Jeff and planned me a surprise party! I had NO idea she was doing it. I thought we were going out to eat and getting a pedicure. Even looking back, she was acting a little funny about what time it was and not wanting me to hold her phone to look at this picture. Which she was showing me to corroborate her story to get me to Sophie's house. I don't think she realized how easy it would be to get me to go. I didn't care what we were doing, I was just glad to get out of the house! So we walk in and they all yell surprise and then babies start screaming! HA! That was pretty funny. But I was so surprised it almost scared me. I would have fallen over backward if the door hadn't been there. Jeff was there, and come to find out he had to stay at work extra long because I couldn't get to Corona too early. Which I was anxious to do and then after I left he had to rush to leave so he wouldn't miss the party. So much planning and sneaking around that I had no idea he was capable of keeping anything from me!
Rachel's brother in law is a DJ and he was there and it was like all the parties we had back in High school! Minus the M&M's. I haven't had that much fun in so long! We were dancing all night long. So much fun! Well that ends my amazing birthday celebration. It was the best birthday EVER!

Family Party

We celebrated mine and Hannah's birthday the Sunday after mine.
Oh and I got ALL these clothes at Target for $50 bucks! That was my present to myself. :)
So I thought this was the end of my birthday celebrations......

Later that night...

I love the Olive Garden. We went there for my birthday last year, and it didn't turn out so great. I had a melt down, what with all the CRAP going on back then. So it was nice to make a NEW memory that had nothing negative about it. Amy and Rich Russel came, Stephanie and Eric, Bryan and Gina, Mark and Michelle, Jay and Merry and me and Jeff were all there. Which was a lot considering I only thought Jay and Merry were coming! Anyway, yummy food, fun conversation was the best ending to my birthday. And thanks to someone so so so nice, no one had to pay for their meal, it was taken care of! I am not sure WHO it was, but we were stunned! and very grateful.
