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....

Ryan Seacrest interviews Layla Grace's Mom Shanna Marsh

Here is a link to an interview that Ryan Seacrest had with the mom of Layla who has stage 4 Neuroblastoma. Awesome that he is raising awareness but such a sad sad story. Neuroblastoma is such a horrible disease. =(

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.

Little David singing "Santa Claus is coming to town"

In my post from yesterday... two posts in a row?!?! What is going on?!? ;o)

Any whoo... I mentioned little David likes to sing Santa Claus is coming to town. I recorded him with my phone so the quality is lacking but you can at least hear him sing it. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Merry Christmas!! =)

9 days till Christmas...

Wow! How time flys! I can't believe Christmas is almost here. Little David couldn't be more excited, this is his first Christmas where he truly realizes what is going on. And... can't forget to mention this!! He sings 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town!'... It is THE cutest thing you will ever hear, I will swear by that and not just because I'm his mom. If I can post it I most certanly will... you can't see him very well but you can hear him and that's all that counts. LOL!

The kids will be heading to their grandma's house this Saturday to spend 4 whole days without their parents around... oh what will David and I do without them?!?!

I wanted to post some pictures that we took this past year. Hope everyone had a wonderful 2009 and lets have an even better 2010!!

Fun at the Arboretum

This is one of my favorite pictures from our afternoon at the Arboretum.

Halloween Fun!

This was the first time in 3 or 4 years that we decided to go all out for Halloween. We created kind of a Haunted House for the kids to walk through. Here is how the guys dressed up.... you can probably imagine that some of the kids went running for the hills!!

But... we did have some kids that came back 2 or 3 times... after a while I had to tell them that they couldn't get any more candy because we were starting to run out. All in all it was a very fun night and our kiddos had a blast too... Here are their pictures....

Bella as "Sleeping Booty" as she likes to say it.

And here is David as Captain Hook. We found this costume at the Disney Store and it was the ONLY one because a lady had just returned it. It fit him perfect!!

Meeting Lily (Emily Osment) from Hannah Montana

Almost there after waiting about an hour in line.... =)

And here she is, the moment Isabella was waiting for!!

Chacho had to get in there too....

Our trip to the Tonto Natural Bridge

I wanted to share some pictures that we took this past weekend up in Payson.

Back to School (already?!?!)

Yesterday was Isabella's first day back to school. She is now a 1st grader and she was excited to say the least... Here she is with her new outfit and back pack...

Fun with the camera.

The Death of Michael Jackson...

I can't believe I didn't post about this the day it happened... Today is a week since the 'King of Pop' died, the same day that Farrah Fawcett died of cancer and the day after Ed McMahon. Needless to say last week wasn't a good week. I just wanted to post this video that Matt Lauer had with Jermaine Jackson... Just heart wrenching to listen to him speak about his brother... What a loss for the entire world...

This happened right outside of my work today... Very very sad
