Sisters...

Old pictures remind me of fun times!

I love my little sister.

I also love that some people don't know who's older!

Hee, hee!!

Anyway, my sister is the best! We didn't always see eye to eye

and not just because she used to be sooo short! (:

That has all changed as we've gotten older.

I have always loved my sister and I look up to her now!

(In this picture, I think Shannon is 6 and me 9?)

Shannon and I are so close. I love that I can tell her anything.

Is my head a box in this picture or what...oh well!

I'm so very happy for her, she is due May 1st with

her baby Rachael Elizabeth!

Everyone should have Birthday Week....

February 4th 1975

Yes, I'm blogging my birthday!

I love having a birthday by the way!

So many people sent me cards and birthday wishes, I felt very loved!

It gives me great joy to celebrate and have fun with family and friends!

Yes this is an old pic. of myself. I think I'm about 1.

The day before my birthday this year...

Here we are at BJ's for lunch...gotta have Pazookie!

Me, Jennifer, Natalie, Michelle,

Suzie, and Karen. Thanks ladies!

On my birthday, I went to lunch with Natalie and Aaron. (no picture though?)
Then of course you have to go to dinner too!

Char, me, Karen, Lexi, Suzie, Kim, Jenny, & Kristen.

I love hanging out with my girls!!

The next day I got together with my BFF from 1st grade!!

Sara & her little ones Ben & Cooper, with Natalie and I.

We had lunch in Stockton at Boudin Bakery! Yummy!!

I love Sour Dough bread!!

So now were on to Friday right?

Charlene and I met Michelle Clark for a girls weekend in Fresno.

I know of all places... Fresno? We didn't care it was a half way point.

We ate and shopped and laughed our cinnabons off! (:
Thanks Aaron for letting me get away from it all!

It was very weird/AWESOME to not HAVE to be ANYWHERE!!

I feel so very blessed to have such great people around me.

I know there are so many more than are on this blog entry too!

I love my life and everyone in it!

Everyone should have their own birthday WEEK!

My boys have been busy....

Basketball & Soccer

Eli...

is playing competitive soccer for a team called United.

He is a very fast kid. Always has been.

When he was first walking his feet were too fast for him!!

He'd get up and fall, get up and fall.

He had more bruises than any kid!

He plays goalie and he's great on defense!

It's amazing how he can chase down just about anyone!

He has also been playing 5th grade Rec. Basketball.

He is doing great considering he is in 4th grade.

We moved him up because they get to play

with all the rules, on 10ft rims, and they have refs.

It's been very busy going to all of his games!

It has been great to see him shine!

ABRAM...

made the 8th grade team at McCaffrey M.S. He has been playing since Dec.

They only lost one reg. season game. However, came up short in the Tournament.

He's also been playing Rec. B'ball which I think he loves the most.

(Playing against all the kids he knows is the most fun!)

I snapped a picture of him after school one day.

Abram is a really good kid. Middle School can

be very hard and I'm really glad he's stayed true to himself.

The picture on the far right is of him playing YM basketball!

We all know that this is the most competitive league you can be in!!
