2010 Holidays

Wow, it has been a while since I have posted something new.   A lot has been going on since August.  I applied for two positions within my company...interviewed for both of them, twice.... and Finally one of them did come through.   =)   So I have been getting to know my new position and learning a lot and staying extremely busy.   I'm still learning as it has only been since the end of September that I've been in my new role.    
I also never posted about David and I expecting our 3rd baby in February.   Can't believe she's almost here.  I'll post a  picture of her 3D ultrasound...  that was pretty amazing.

Here are a couple of pictures I wanted to share.   I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Our Summer Family Trip to San Diego

Here is a little something we put together of our trip to San Diego. We really had a great time.

Isabella wasn't able to get on any of the big rides last year and so she took full advantage this time around. We must of gone on that swinging ride at least 8 times!

Can't wait to do it again next year. Hopefully little David will be able to join us then.

Enjoy guys.

Cute picture of Little David

Just had to share this picture of little David.   It has a nickname on it that we use for him...  not sure where it came from but he does answer to it!   =)

A fun little trip to SeaWorld

Here are some awesome shots of Shamu that David captured during the show.   He has really become an GREAT photographer. 

Here is a cute picture of Bella when we were watching the whales down below before the show.

A cute picture of the kids with grandma and the funny penguins.

And finally, what some of you have been waiting for....     at least I know my family has....    a picture of me!!!   LoL!   This doesn't happen very often so enjoy it!

Our trip to Bisbee, Arizona

It was a spur of the moment trip...  Isabella had Friday off from school so I took full advantage and asked for the day off.   I asked David if he could do the same so we could spend the day with the kiddos.  I was feeling a little guilty about spring break and not doing anything fun with them.   Even though they got to do fun things with their grandma, like go to Sea World.  


So it was set, we woke up early Friday morning, I called the hotel and booked a room for the night.   A little place in downtown Bisbee called Hotel San Ramon.  It looked like a nice cozy hotel and reminded me of the Connor Hotel in Jerome.  The manager was super nice as well and let us book a little bigger room since we had the kids for the same price as the smaller one.   Very nice of her!   Now that I think about it, I didn't take any pictures of the inside of our room...  but if you click on the link it will take you to their site where you can click on 'Rates & Reservations', then click on 'Availability Chart' and the click 'View Chart' and it will list their 6 rooms where you can click on the name of the room to see a picture.   We stayed in Room #2...  very cute and bright.


Here are some pictures we took while going through the town.   This is just a few, I have a lot more that I haven't uploaded yet.

Bisbee Historic Distric - 1906 - Presbyterian Church

Lots of stairs to climb in Bisbee....  The manager of Hotel San Ramon

says she has to climb about 60 steps to get to her home.

As we were going up some other stairs this house was to the right.

Not sure if anyone lived there.

My final picture for right now is another house a little further up the hill.   

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying their St. Patrick's Day and wearing green to be sure you don't get pinched.

Since it's spring break, the kids are spending some quality time with their grandma in Palm Desert, CA. They have been there since last Friday, March 12th. Its now Wednesday and we are missing them more and more each day. But enjoying our time alone as well. On Saturday they are going to Sea World with their grandma, and I'm excited for them but sad we won't be there.

While they have been gone I have found some older pictures of the kids....

Little David taking a bath... gosh he has gotten so big... my little boy will be 4 in July.

Love this picture of David and Bella walking at the Boyce Thompson arboretum

Here is one of Bella when her hair was still growing back in....

Come Back After a Running Layoff at Runner's World

Interesting article that should help me who has never really ran her entire life as well as someone who took a break and wants to get back in the swing of things.
