Rockin in the mini van

NO I'm NOT pregnant again. It's the only picture I have with me and the mini van (aka Carol). I LOVE the song "meet me halfway" by Black Eye Peas, I mean LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Every time it's on I crank it up in my rad stock mini van stereo, and sing to the top of my lungs. I can get "Carol" rockin side to side with my sweet dance moves too. And since I'm only 8 months new to the Mesa area I don't care who sees or hears me. SO if you see me cruisin down Gilbert rd rockin out, don't point and laugh, just jump in with me and we can rock out together.

Poor Peanut :(

Poor little Portia is in the hospital this week. She had a fever last week and trying to fight a cold, she wasn't winning and so we took her in on sunday to the Urgent Care. They checked her and she had RSV so they called an ambulance and transported her to Cardin Children Hospital. I was a little bumped they didn't turn on the lights and siren, I was secretly wanting them too. So when we got here they admitted her. She's been on oxygen, IV and deep suctions, that TOTALLY SUCKS. Lots of ups and downs and scary moments. Poor peanut! Hopefully we will be able to go home on Thursday. Thanks SO SO SO much for all the meals brought up, the visits and ALL the prayers, we feel very blessed for all our friends and family.

SO Blessed

We blessed Miss Portia 2 weeks ago, and it was perfect, minus a few family and friends in Idaho. The support and love we felt was huge. Thanks to EVERYONE that came. We love you all!!! (even the Stapleys, who didn't stay till the end to get there pictures taken) :)

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

This is a "too funny not to share story" for ya all. Gunner went to a friends house last night to have a sleep over. NOTE: The dad of the friends is one of Craigs BFF friends since he was 5 years old. Now back to the story, the mom was wondering were the boys were, it was 10pm and notice they she hadn't seen them for a while, so she went searching for them, she walked out the front door and saw a bunch of teenage girls at the end of the street playing games. Then she saw two boy with spider man capes and bags over there heads, in there UNDERWEAR running down the street, screaming and laughing. It was Gunner and his friend!!!! The mom brought them in and asked what the heck they were doing, Gunner apologized and admitted it was HIS idea. The dad laughed and said "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree". The dad then asked if there were girls out there, Guns said YES. The dad again said "like i said, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree".
We all thought it was funny, but It won't be funny if they do it again in 6 years from now!

Christmas 2009

What a great Christmas!!!! We had a great day, full of love, family, good food and nice warm weather!!!

How dare she!

The last photo shoot I did of peanut didn't go so good. I was looking through all the photos and ran across this one, I HAD to laugh. I guess she doesn't like her picture taken, yawning and flipping me off, she had to go to the corner for that.

1st photo shoot

I've been trying and trying and even some more trying to so a little photo shoot for Miss Portia, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with it. Out of 75 pictures I had only a few turned out. Every time I would get things set up she would poop, spit up, or just start crying. GRRRRRRRR so frustrating!!! She's SO sweet, cute and irresistible that she looks like a little angel to me ;)

Portia has arrived

Friday @ 3:15 am she arrived. Labor was not bad at all and delivery was a breeze, 15 min!!

She weighed 7 lbs and was 20 inches long. 

We can't get enough of her! 

Thank you for all the love, prayers and support to all our family and friends!!!

goodbye belly, I'll miss you........... NOT!!!!

Well I'm down to the wire, less than 24 hours and I'll have a new little angel in my arms.

It's a bitter - sweet feeling I have today, we have had such an easy road with Gunner and Mazi, and thought this was our little family and life was good. Now it's starting all over again, diapers, crying, spit up, nursing. You know all the fun stuff!! I'm soooooo excited and nervous all bundled up together in a HUGE emotional feeling today. I can't wait to hold her and to have our family grow, but I'm SO thrilled to see our Gunner and Mazi see there new little sister. I love that they are so excited, they packed her bag last week, and made her each a friendship bracelet. We're so happy to welcome our new daughter and sister in our family!!!!!
