Day worth blogging about!

Yesterday was so great, I have to blog about it too....went to M2M in the morning. So blessed to help with check in. I love greeting them with a friendly smile and open the door for them. Our table brought breakfast, so I brought French Toast sticks and fresh chopped strawberries. I even decorated a peanut butter jar with our M2M colors on it for the powdered sugar! That morning we heard from Cynthia Moses about keeping our children's :stuff: in order. It was fantastic as always! After Mom's I got to go get my hair done last minute at the Milan Institute of Cosmetology! I was referred by Kristi. Stylist was Sarah O Connor and she was a doll! She did this new A-Line Cut that she learned at a class over the weekend, it's so edgy and adorable! Since I got the special, cut color and style for 19.99, I got to color my hair. I chose Auburn since blonde is so hard to keep up. It's SOOO cute!! After hair, went home, ate meatloaf and scalloped potatoes with Babe and Bean which was nice, then left for Dance. While warming up, I see Babeuh's headlights drive up in to the parking lot! Him and Bean came to surprise me to watch me, and to add 50 dollars to my dance tuition! Love him so much :) Dance was awesome, we did a combo to a guy singing teenage dream :)

Charlee has a bit of a cold today, so she didn't go to school or dance. I had the entire day off with no plans, and so did Babeuh! Started our lovely day with Donuts and Juice It Up (with my birthday coupon) Then went to the Park off Cook street (our favorite park!) We threw around Charlee's new frisbee and drove around my RC car. Got a good drift going too! After the park, we ran over to Walmart and got Charlee's spray paint for her RC car, since hers is still being built. After we went home, Charlee and I took out the 3D dragon puzzle that her and Isaac did a little while ago. We took out the paint and set up shop outside in the beautiful sunshine! It was so nice having some quiet time with her painting, she was so careful and intricate with her small brush. While we were doing that, Isaac was sanding and filling some holes in Charlee's car. Prepping it for paint :) The sun went down quickly, so we didn't have time to finish either paint job, but we are ready to complete it another day. After paint, we had a quick lunch and left for the mall. First stop, Victoria;'s Secret with my gift card from Sarah :) Conveniently enough, the Semi Annual Bra sale was going on!! Out of 21 potential bras, I found the one to take home :) Found a pair of matching underwear and total it came to 20 bucks! Sa WEET! But then of course, we walked by a manican, and saw this cute little number......just happened to fit so nicely,,,,,,so Happy Valentines Day Babeuh :) After shopping, we split a Pretzel with cheese, and headed home. PJ's, bedtime and now, time for the Babeuhs :) Hoping to get The Social Network from the Redbox! Anyways, it was such a wonderful family day!! I'm so blessed to have enjoyed this day, before going back to doubles for the weekend! All day, Babeuh's been opening the car door for me, and just loving on me in every way.....I feel so appreciated! He can keep this up as long as he wants! Love my family!!

It's Been a While......

Hey Everyone! No...we didn't fall off the planet! I found the world of Facebook, so that regretfully has taken away my time from Blogging :( Life has caught up with us since April! I guess I'll give a quick update, and some pictures to get us up to this point.

* Isaac and I celebrated 5 years of marriage on June 11th! We took off on Daddy's motorcycle to Vegas for the weekend. It was incredible!
* Charlee had her end of the year dance show in May. Tap to Babyface and Ballet to My Balloon. It was priceless!
* Happy Birthday to Seth, Travis, Nevaeh, Dad, Kristi and Sarah!
* Seth & Fran are having a baby!! Baby Girl- Mackenzie Blythe is due January 16th right after my birthday :) We are going to be Aunties and Uncles!!
* Sarah graduated high school and moved to Missouri!
* Charlee's first trip to Boomers and Knott's Soak City!

Isaac- He passed his EMT class with an A!! 4th in his class! He passed his National Registry class the first shot!! AND he just received his formal State EMT License in the mail! I can't express how much hard work he put into this goal, and how so proud his family is of him! This summer he diligently worked hard on building us a shed to make our house (aka storage unit!) a home :) We now have room to breathe, it's wonderful! The heat was intense (117 degrees one day) but he did it! He also just finished a rigorous 500 calorie/day diet. In 3 weeks he has lost 17 pounds! He's on to the second part of the diet now which requires heavy calorie counting and exercise. I have faith that he will hit his goal of being 180 pounds. (Started at 221) Isaac just started another semester at COD. He's taking Philosophy, Math and Japanese. Continuing his goal to transfer to a UC school (either San Diego or Irvine) to complete his BA in Bio mechanical Engineering. Then onward to Medical School to be an ER Physician. Busy guy, but we have faith in him and his dreams. Still loving cars and drifting. Just went to a drift show with Kris in Vegas for the weekend. Had a blast! He's still an amazing husband and daddy, couldn't ask for anything more :)

Jessi - Nothings changed! lol Still at Islands and Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Planning a wedding for her friends Ashley & Carlo in December. This fall, I'm hoping to start a Woman's Bible Study on Thursdays so I can start Dance class! My hopes are to take a Jazz class Wednesday nights and Ballet Wednesday mornings. I really need this, so I'm doing everything I can to do it! Other than that, doing my best at being a Mommy and Wife and keeping the house in order, while keeping my sanity!

Charlee- Just started Preschool this morning :) She is getting so big and beautiful, I ask myself everyday if she's really my child?! She is smart beyond her age and is so intelligent! We have (hopefully) gotten past the rough attitude patch we had a few months ago. She is very excited to start dance class next week! This year she will be in Tap and Jazz :) She will also be going to her Sunday School on Wednesdays with Nana :) She's starting to learn how to swim which is a relief! She also is excited about the possibility of having a new baby brother or sister......

Baby- Yes, we are trying for another baby :) We have mutually agreed that it would be great for Charlee to have a sibling and life long best friend! And a family of 4 sounds perfect for us! So far, no luck, but we will keep everyone informed when it happens :)

Nevaeh- started second grade this year and just turned 7!! I can't believe how fast she's grown! She is so smart and a sweetheart underneath all the madness in her life. Please keep her in your prayers as she is going through some major struggles in her Mother's house, and at school. Life isn't looking good for her and she might be going through some major changes soon. Pray also, that we can be ready for any of those changes. That regardless of what is happening, we can keep calm, and be there for Nevaeh no matter how difficult it is. During this time, we are choosing to have visits with her after school every Friday. It keeps her and Charlee balanced as much as possible.

So anywho's here are some recent pics! A lot has happened!
