Justin turns 30!

For Justin's 30th we had a party for him at the house. It was so much fun to have our family and friends there to celebrate. Everyone had a good time. We had headstand competitions, and some minitruck drag sessions. Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate Justin's b-day. It was great time and we will have to do it again.

Jesse gave a couple rides to people in his truck, this was Kerensa's first drag.

How low is that truck..says Mom..wow she was amazed at how low Jesse's truck sits.

Everyone chillin in the kitchen. I don't know why, but whenever we have friends over this is where we end up..in my small kitchen.

Ok so Bryan challenged Robin to a head stand competition. Well Robin did a fantastic job..but Bryan on the other hand needed some help...ha ha. We also got our neighbor Randy in on it too. He didn't do so well either.

4 BIG SURPRISES!

So Justin's b-day was awesome. The day before he turned 30 we were expecting his mom to arrive from Utah. Now he had tried to get other family members and they had all said NO, we can't make it. This really upset Justin and he was sad that his family wouldn't be there to celebrate the big 30! But as his big weekend approached and he was sitting at work he all of the sudden looked over to see who was coming up the stairs at work and there was his SISTER..Robin! Yep..she had surprised him! Well they proceeded over to the house where I was also expecting just Corinne and yep I was surprised too. After catching up and enjoying our reunion I see a car pulling in the driveway. I said..hmm who is here, I check and all of the sudden I realize Its Uncle Steve and Aunt Kathleen. I turned to look at Corinne and Robin and they are laughing their heads off. Robin said.."Gotcha" Wow what a great surprise. So after a little bit Justin arrives home from work and we are all outside enjoying the California sun. He realizes there is another car in his driveway and clues in that his Aunt and Uncle are here. It was so excitting to see these guys together. We laughed, hugged and talked the day away. We celebrated with a quick glass of wine and then continued to go eat dinner at Fridays. That was an awesome dinner, and my hubby was soooo HAPPY! I loved it!. Finally after eating Robin rushes us out the door and back home. We didn't understand why she was such in a rush but just went with the flow. When we got home we were standing outside still talking when all of the sudden we hear a honk..and there is yet another car!!! Out popped Kerensa..an old friend of Robin's and Justin's. She had came from Arizona. Such a great time! We ended the night by roasting some smores and giggling the night away.

I want to put a special Thank You out to Mom, Robin, Aunt Kathleen, Uncle Steve, and Kerensa for driving the distance and making his 30th special. It wouldn't of been the same without you guys here! Also one last BIG thank you to Robin for making this possible. She decided to come out here and drag 3 other people in her scemeing plan..ha ha. Thanks so much Sis for making this a birthday your brother will never forget!

Mom decided to bring someone with her on her trip out here...hehehe

Britt's visit!!!

I love having my sister here with me!

Britt at FFF '10 she got a look into our world and other family..=SunSet=

We took the girls to the park.

They loved having their Aunt pushing them on the swing

I think Tink loved Britty too!

Britty watched Issy for me while I went on Ky's field trip with her. Apparently they had fun making silly faces..ha ha

Of course we got our walks in..everyday by walking to and from the school

Our last night together before she left to go home :( We listened to music, made me a playlist and laughed..like always

Shopping and dining out with Angie!

Seriously Britty thats not how you do homework.....

How low can you go.....

Everybody arms in the air...dancing away with the girls

I showed Britt I live close to "Brittany Dr" So we had to take a pic of it

Well...its over..time for Britty to go back to school and to Chanley. We can't wait until she comes in May to watch the girls..Love you

Last week Brittany came out to visit us for her spring break from college. We absolutley enjoyed having her here! Although we didn't go anywhere special with her we still had fun shopping, chatting it up, talking about her latest addition to her life....Chanley. I do believe those two like to text ALOT!! We danced around the kitchen while listening to awesome music and just overall had a great time. I love my baby sister so much and glad for every chance I get to spend time with her. So here is some precious moments from her stay with us!

Ky's field trip to the firestation

Last Tuesday Kylee's class went on a field trip to the firestation. I got the chance to go with, while my sister was out here. She watched Isabella for me. We got a tour of all the equipment and how it is used, the trucks and their different uses. Then we got a tour of the firestation and the living area of the firemen. As we were finishing our tour we had 10 minutes left and their alarm went off. So we had to exit while they jumped in the truck and left. What was cool was on the way back to the school we actually got to see the "call" they went to. An elderly woman had fallen from her wheelchair and they were helping her onto a stretcher to secure her. So the kids got to see that not only do they put out fires they also help with other emergencies too. It was a fun time.



Kylee and her best friend Celeste on the bus. Aren't they cute!


Waiting outside the firestation to go in!


The firemen showing the kids the hoses and other equipment

Ky was excited to see the firestation

Our two tour guides

He explained everything really good to the kids and showed them all the equipment they use

The lockers for the firemen

They showed the kids that they live there too for 24 hrs at time and the kids were amazed that they had a full on kitchen and dining room. They also saw thier rooms, living room, and excersize room.
