At the end of September we were blessed to go on vacation. Although Newport Beach is only a 30 min. drive for us, it is still a wonderful vacation and in our minds we are miles away from the norm. These are some of my favorite shots of the week.


My kids are growing up way to fast. I love that my daughters are growing tall like me but it makes them seem older than they really are. At 7 yrs. I'm already seeing a glimpse of Sadie's big girl face.
I don't really remember the reason for Ky's pouting but Jason and I love those lips.
I had fun teaching Sadie how to play tether ball and telling her the stories of how I would beat everyone in school. I gave her a few tall girl tricks to practice.

One of the things that I like to do as a mom is take pictures of my kids every month their whole first year. I'm so bummed that I didn't have a nice one take Kaedon's first month but here he is, month #2.

In our home we got excited about election day and dressed Kaed in his patriotic outfit, took pictures and posted them on Facebook in hopes that of encouraging straggling voters to vote. Even though the out come wasn't what I had prayed for, my God is still on the throne and I trust Him.

Many family members came to see Kaed the first grandson...

I love this picture because both of the girls hands are in the picture. Kaedon will be well taken care of.

BOY oh BOY- He was 9.4lbs & 21inches

So, like I said before, the summer flew by. We spent much of our summer preparing for Kaedon and then suddenly he was here. He is a blessing and we are so thankful for him. I've never felt my age and how out of shape I am till now, mainly due to lack of sleep but God is so good and He is my strength moment by moment. Here he is, my good look'n boy, Kaedon Alan.

Big Belly

I'm always so blessed to have the opportunity to lead worship with my husband. It's a special blessing from the Lord. With some prompting from my good pal Mia, Sadie grabbed my camera to take a shot of my big belly, while I was rehearsing with Ja-. This is the Wed before Kaedon.

Where did summer go?

I was so looking forward to summer and in no time flat it has seem to fly by. The Harvest Crusade marking the end of summer is this weekend and we are schedule to have our baby boy Klein on Monday. So, I thought I'd try and drop in a last minute blog to post some of my favorite pictures of the summer.
For me, I feel like our summer started in May with the girls first trip to Knott's Berry Farm. They've always been blessed with Disneyland passes so we've never felt the need to go to KBF before. Auntie Shar and her best friend N- were able to hang out with us so it made it extra special for the girls. It's always fun for me to have the "BIG Girls" spoil the "LIL Girls" with attention, they enjoy it so much.
That weekend was Mother's Day. I love this day because I am once again reminded how blessed I am by God to be a mom and to have wonderful girls. Falling asleep on Daddy's chest is a great way to get over a Ice Cream Sunday Hangover.
In June, thanks to Dad's help, Jae-Bird learn to ride her bike while Lalie is determined to learn as well. "Sibling Rivalry"
We try and do Mommy and Daddy Dates as often as we can. The girls will switch off going with either my Honey or myself. This time it was me and Jae-Bird sharing our favorite dessert at Chili's and no lie, I think I maybe got three bites. She never messes around when it comes to this chocolaty goodness.

Check out this boys room

When I saw this room I thought of my friend Joanne who has two boys. They love planes of all shapes and sizes. I can picture their room with many vintage touches like this room. If you check out the link below you'll see the rest of the room and it's vintage car accents.

Getting Ready for our little man.

Being 21 weeks prego, I'm starting to feel the need to begin preparing and planning for my 3 child. Crazy I'm a mom of 3. Well, thank my GOOD and AWSOME LORD it's a boy. It will be fun to have a change. It will probably rock me even though I like to think I'm tough and tomboyish. I've completely enjoyed living in little girl land for 7 years now but I do look forward to non-pink items. Here are some of the items I'm looking at for our little man.

I'm not so sure that I'm an official blogger. I'm not a prolific writer and I'm not sure I have much to say in general, but I think this is a fun way to post the of the scrapbook moments from my life.
