Great Friends

Here is some of the friends that came, young and old! We spent lots of time laughing and chatting away.I love our group of friends, they come from different faucets of our life, but when we are all together for one of our parties everyone gets along and everyone laughs so much. We all have such an awesome time. I am so glad that we have friends that all get along and chat in one big group. Makes things so much easier!

Kylee's Birthday Party

Yesterday we had a birthday party for Kylee. We invited a bunch of our friends to come with their kids and help celebrate. This was thee first party that we had more kids than adults. We had 11 children randing from ages 3-12 being the oldest. We let the kids play and adults socialize while Justin prepared his famous pizza. Then I took all the kids out and we did a pinata. The kids had a blast with that. I think I should of gotten a bigger pinata though. Then we came in and did gifts. Justin finished the pizza and served it. Everyone loved the pizza. It was a huge success. After we let that digest and the kids played some more we had cake and ice cream. Kylee had a great day and enjoyed everyone that came and celebrated with us. She gots lots of Barbies, some clothes, coloring stuff, and her scooter from her parents. Over all it was a great Birthday!

Brittany, Chelsey, Natalie, Kylee, and Morgan grouped around.

Kylee received her scooter! She was so excited.

Kylee had asked Kevin and Amy for a Troy Doll. So of course Kevin couldn't refuse her little pout. So here is Kylee and her Troy Doll.

Kylee took one swing at the pinata and put a little crack in it.

Savannaha hit it and cracked it open even more. Then Tatiana got to it, and finished it off. So the pinata was taken out by the first couple times, by the youngest ones there. Poor older kids didn't even get a chance.

All the kids grabbing for the candy.

Kylee's B-day Night

On Thursday we took Kylee out to dinner for her birthday. She went through a dozen choices but finally rested on Chinese for dinner. So we went to a new resteraunt that turned out to be so good. Kylee loved it. I think we found our new Chinese place here. Then we came back and let her open up a couple gifs from her family. We got her the Tinkerbell Movie, and the girls got her a coloring book and crayons. So also received some play horses, a dress, and easy bake stuff from other family. To finish it up we had cake and ice cream. Kylee loved her birthday, but was still excited for her party on Saturday.

Issy loved the little Chicken legs on the appetizer wheel.

Happy 5th Birthday to My Kylee!

Happy Birthday to my little Comdeian Kylee Beth

Kylee with her Grandpa Randy. I love this picture. Heer complexion looks so good with her pink jammies.

5 years ago today my little Kylee was born. She was a scheduled c-section. I had to be in there by 6am and the c-section was sceduled for 8am. She entered earth at 8:39am, weighing 7 lbs. and 1 oz. Her length was 18 1/2 inches long. She had a little bit of brown hair and olive skin. She has always been such a gorgeous little girl. Kylee Beth was named after 3 special people in my life. Kylee came from my brother Kyle. We never really got along, until we both grew up and now we are so close. She has gained his great personality and is always telling jokes and making us laugh. Just like Kyle! She also loves to make faces. If you know my brother, you know that we can't ever take a serious picture with him in it. What a jokester. Beth came from my mom, and my baby sister.

Here is another great year and wonderful memories of my girl! She is excited to start Kindergarten this next fall.

Trial and Hair Error

Ok some of you have noticed that once again my hair is a different color. There is a story behind this...

So when I went from blonde back to Brown. Because of bleaching it so much, it strips the pigment out of your hair. So when you put color back into it, there is nothing for the color to hold onto. So I went from my hair all being a dark auburn, to dark on bottom and a light crappy brown on top (where the blonde used to be). Within two weeks of coloring it, it had lightened up that much. So saturday I decided to darken it again. Well I got the same color as before, but didn't use as much brown to fill it with. I figured I wasn't blonde anymore, I had brown hair, that I wouldn't need so much brown this time....Wrong! After rinsing the color out..it was red. But once I showed Justin, he really really liked it. So since he didn't think it was bad, and my other friends didn't think it was bad...I kept it. So here I am with Red hair..lol. I have received some crap from people on the constant change of my hair. I think everyone thinks I go from one color to the next week by week. But I don't, but I do like change..so I do change it often. I guess thats what happens when your a stylist and you get bored..lol

Valentines

Chelsey after her Valentines party at school. California has had a law that they require only "healthy food and drink" to be given at school. So for the past 3 years Chelsey's class parties didn't involve alot of snacks and candy and stuff. But this year they gave special permission to have a Valentines party and allow the cupcakes, cookies, and candy with their cards. Chelsey was really excited and loved her party.


Since we were not able to get a baby sitter this year, Justin brought "Outback Steakhouse" to us. He ordered a dinner for two and went and picked it up. He then brought it home and set up a candle light dinner for the two of us. The kids ate a little later, and we had on a movie for them while we enjoyed our meal. It was such a sweet idea.

The Love of my life...

Chelsey was our photographer for the evening..lol

Afterwards, Our friends Kevin and Amy and their kids came down and watched a movie with us. It was a nice relaxing day at home. We got our "alone" time and also got to share it with our family and friends. What a great Valentines Day!

Sick Children

So this last week, Two of my kids have been sick with the flu. It didn't really cause them any pain, just made them extremely exhausted. Issy was the first one to get sick. She slept for like 2 days straight, it was crazy! The Kylee followed after her. I didn't get a picture of Ky, but I had one of Issy. She is usually a very active child, so it was very weird to see her just lay there. Here is a pic of her napping on the couch. For those two days..this is the position she stayed in. Snuggled up with her blanky.

Friends

While we were out in Utah we got the chance to sneak a couple hours in with some friends. We thought there wasn't going to be any room, but we made it happen. Saturday night after leaving my brothers house we made a dinner date with Aaron and Julie, and their two kids. Britt came with us so that she could spend a little more time with me. We went out and ate at Los Hermanos. We don't have one here in Cali, so when we go out there, we try to hit that and Wingers. We had such a good time, laughing and joking around. After dinner we went to Julie's house to just chat alittle longer. Caitlyn and Issy got to play together, Ammon, Aaron and Justin played some video games, and Julie, Britt and I had some girl Talk. It was so nice! Here is some cute pics of our little get together


I love this girl. You know that friend, that at the end of the day when nothing has gone right and just need to vent, and they will sit and listen and not complain. Then when your done ask if you want advice...This is Her! We have been through some rough spots but everytime we seem to get through it, and it just makes us stronger. She is the one I can sit with and laugh at nothing at all, and then also hold down the most serious conversations. I have 3 people in my life that are my "rocks". Julie is one of them! She is more like a sister to me, than just a friend. We always have a good time together, even if she thinks I am too Liberal now..lol

Brittany was so impressed that Issy loves Chips and Salsa, she needed a picture of it. So Brittany, this picture is for you!

Sunday Morning before we left town we stopped off at Glen and Tori's and saw their new addition. Korbin is so cute! We also saw their new house. We chatted with them for about 45 minutes and then continued our journey home. Some pics of meeting Korbin Trammel.

Holding Korbin for the first time. He is such a cutie. I was trying to decide who he looked like. I think he is a good mix of both Tori and Glen

Justin holding his adopted nephew Korbin

The girls holding Korbin. A bad pic of the girls, but they were just trying to be comfortable for the long ride ahead of us.

Madison's Baptism

While out for my Grandma's funeral we had the fortune of being able to attend my neice's baptism as well. Great planning on grandma's behalf..lol It was awesome to be able to be there and spend that extra time with my immediate family.
