Walk the Lights with =Sunset=

So Los told us about this neighborhood in Chino that decorates for Christmas. They go all out and every year it has ended up being this big "Walk the lights of Chino" tradition. So we all got together and headed over there, and walked through them. The houses was so pretty and the girls enjoyed it so much. It was so mcuh fun to do something with the club and also get some more Christmas spirit inside us :)

Issy with Bobby "Funsize" The girls love him and have added him to the family as their brother. So now he has become our adopted son :) You should see Ky and him..they are hilarious to watch. Just like real brother and sister..ha ha

Kylee and Chelsey get an award

So on the 17th of Dec. I went to the school and watched Chelsey preform for her awards assembly. They went on first and then after they had the awards part. Well normally the Kindergarten isn't included so I grabbed Issy and went home instead of watching the awards part. Little to my knowledge...Kylee got an award for perfect attendance. Yep..and I missed her first award!! Not only that but then they had their second awards assembly for upper classmen...Chelsey's grade and 5th. Yep you guessed it...Chelsey got one too. So Mother of the year award goes to......... Not me..ha ha

I took a pic of Ky and her award but Chelsey left hers at school. So when she returns after winter break I will get one of her too.

Chelsey's Christmas Choir Performance

Ok so now that Christmas is over with...ha ha...back to blogging. Chelsey has been singing with her school choir every Monday after school. So on the 15th of Dec. she had a Christmas Program. She did a very good job and had alot of fun with it. I wasn't able to download the video of her so I will just post the pics instead. She also sand during the awards assemblies for the school too. She will continue with this ending it in March with their Music festival. She has enjoyed it and I am very happy with her teachers. Which are non other than hers and Kylee's teacher this year...Mrs. Herrera and Mrs. D'Houti

My Isabella turns 4!

So on Sunday Issy turned 4! She had an awesome two days of fun. Saturday we threw her a party with our friends. It rained all day so we kept it inside, but we still had fun. Justin of course made pizza, we had Nachos for an appetizer..and then the Cake and ice cream to top it off. The kids played games like Pin the tail on the Donkey, Twister, and Hungry hungry hippos. Issy received alot of great gifts and cards from friends and family. She is in Tinkerbell and Cinderella Heaven now. Thats her two favorite things. So it was only appropriate that she had a costume change. She started out as Cinderella and then half way through got a Tinkerbell dress as a gift and changed! She was so estactic. It was an awesome party.

Sunday we had a Charity car show we do every year for Childrens Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). Santa was there and gave her a big hug and said Happy Birthday. Afterwards she wanted to go to Chili's for her b-day dinner. We had them sing to her and she received a free birthday shake. She is all excited now for Christmas and can't wait for next years birthday already...ha ha ha. Thanks everyone for helping her celebrate her b-day ♥

Issy got a Tinkerbell costume from Kevin, Amy, and kids. So of course we had to do a costume change from the Cinderella dress her Grandma Corinne made her.

Old tinkerbell dress....and new dress. Yep they get worn ALOT!

Hard day

Well after 2.5 years..Kylee is going through her Alopecia again. This morning I sent Chelsey off to school. I proceeded on with my morning of chores, and put Ky and Issy in the tub. I came to wash her hair and noticed she had a clump of hair hanging down her shoulder. My thought was..Oh no I know her hair isn't that long. Sure enough I went and looked at where it was coming from and her first two patches are already starting. The hair she lost had gotten clumped up and twisted in the rest of her hair. So I got it free and Ky noticed...She said "Mom why did you pull out my hair"? I told her I didn't but that her spots had come back. We both had a few tears together. She is older now and understands things a little more. So she began questioning, Why don't Chelsey and Issy go through this?, Why is it just me?, Mom my hair just got long!, and then she said Mom please just leave it long. So I told her honey we won't cut it short this time. (Last time her hair was very thin and unhealthy so I cut it shorter to make it look fuller and better). But this time her hair is healthier and longer. She then remembered she had to go to school and told me she didn't want her hair in ponytails anymore and just wanted it to hang down so no one could see. Its deffinantly a hard thing to watch your daughter process and go through it. But as always Ky put a smile on her face and said Ok just put a bow in it and I'll be ok. She is such a little trooper. I am hoping that just like last time it won't get too bad and then within 2 months it will start the growing back stage. Which is right in time for her 6th b-day. Cross your fingers everyone and keep our little Ky in your thoughts and prayers that this will just go away again like last time...

Decorating for Christmas

So every year that day after Thanksgiving I get up and go and do my black friday shopping. Then I come home nap alittle and then get up and the family decorates for Christmas. We put up the tree and decorate the house and then try and get to the outside..ha ha. The family enjoys it so much. We also put on christmas songs starting off with the Chipmunks Christmas CD..this is a tradition for Justin's mom Corinne that she passed onto us.


Here we are starting out the tree and getting it set up.

First layer...done

Issy found my santa hat. We also all have a santa hat! Well we need to buy a new one for Issy. Hers is too small this year.

Getting our blue lights set up..sorry its a little blurry.

Where it all began....and where my blog title came from.."All Because Two People Fell In Love". Our first Christmas as a family and our first family ornament.

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was a nice holiday weekend with my family. I had all my girls home for the whole week, and then my husband for 4 days. It was so nice. I am so thankful for the family I have. I love each and every one of them. They make me a better person in all different ways. I don't know what I would do without my family. From my own little family of Justin my sweetheart and my girls...to my parents, siblings, and extended family. Then from my husband I gained another family..his family. My in-laws are not just his family, but mine now. They are such great people and I am glad I have them in my life, and my kids' life. I wish I could see more of all of them.

From that I am also thankful for the friends I have gained in my life. I have my friends back in Utah that I try to stay close with and thanks for Fb and here I can do that better. But also the close ones I have back there that w/o them I don't know what I would do. Julie is an amazing friend and I am glad that I met her 10 yrs ago at Von Curtis. We are there for each other in good and bad times. We pick each other up when one of us is in bad times, or just lend a shoulder to cry on. We also enjoy all the happy times together, and can laugh at things for hours on end..Thanks Julie for becoming like another sister.

I end with my friends I have gained out here. These are the ones that I have recently became greatful for and get to see that gratitude a little more easier. I have such a good group of friends that I don't know what I would do w/o them. Angie, Amy, Kevin, AJ, Kris, Alki, and my neighbor Leah. They are so muh fun and help out in so many ways. They have provided my kids with adopted cousin's and Aunt/Uncles. Last but not least my Sunset family. I love all my boys! I am so glad that Sunset allowed us to be apart of them and gain this family. There is nothing that we wouldn't do for each other..so along with that My kids gained a whole bunch of Uncles, and some Aunts..haha. I can't wait for when they have to take their Boyfriends around the club and get their Uncles approval. All in all thank you everyone for making who i am!
Love you ♥
