Suzanne is my niece~

For my mom's birthday I was in Vacaville at Pietros pizza,

when my niece Suzanne let us all know that her mommy Tricia

was having a baby! What was crazy was she hadn't been told

about the new addition yet. But as you can see she

was very sure of herself that she was right!!

(You may want to pause the music first!:)

"Mommy you do have a baby in your tummy!"

Ahhh, haaa!

Tricia is due in October.

Home sweet home Happenings....

Vacaville is where I grew up!

On a trip there recently, inspired by Natalie's pictures,

I took pictures of the road leading to my parents house.

I love the way it looks in the Springtime!

Especially, right after it has rained!

"The Creek" that no kid is to play in without permission.

That has always been the rule.

I found out why when I was a kid one time after

picking up a rockand a Scorpion was under it

and stung me! YIKES!

The cow pasture on the way up the 1 mile road.

I love it when it's green. The trees grow over the
one lane road. This is why I can back up almost

just as good as I drive forward!

Madi and Bekah in the orchard, just hanging out!

San Fransisco with my Nephew Brendan
and Niece Rebekah! We had a great time
watching Wicked! Bekah giggled the whole time

and I loved listening to her enjoy it as much as I did!

My sister Shannon, her husband Jed, and about

25 members of his family all sat together.

The building was amazing, and the show was as well!

We loved Ga~Linda! So funny!

Eli's 6th grade Basketball team

got 2nd place in the Championship game,

(Eli with his Basketball coaches)

While he was in Merced at a 2 day tournement

for his Soccer team!

While we were leaving the Hotel I saw a guy
with this shirt on. I think I should find this shirt for my boys.
(I'm with my Homies!)>

Later that day after Eli's two games...
Abram's team, coached by Aaron won
the Championship 8th grade Basketball game!!

Following the game they all went to

a Stockton Thunder Hockey game. For Abram &

his friend Zac's 14th Birthday.

(Abram & Tyson)
It was a long day but they had a great time.

Even if some of the friends he invited were from

the losing team! They still had fun!

"I want to remember everything" ~ By: Natalie

Natalie Anne

Here she is coloring a picture.

Playing Beauty Shop!

Here's a Heart shape braid!

I saw this on another blog but too late for Valentines day.

Oh well it's still cute on her!

This day she wanted 'buns' like Princess Leia. (sp)

She was wanting to play with Ben, Danielle, & William

at recess. She had to look the Star Wars princess part!

What's funny is Aaron and I both played Star Wars

in Kindergarten also, I wore buns too!

She had the smallest buns ever!

A month ago when on my camera I found

a bunch of pictures that I know I didn't take.

I knew who to ask after reviewing the photos!

She told us that she wanted to remember

everything. I guess she went around one day taking

pictures of the things she saw.

Her Blessing dress hanging in her room.

Her Littlest Pet shop toys/princess Book.

A small shelf with some of Abram's trophy collection.

Her "Chocolate Baby"! She loves her dolly!

Her momma in the messy kitchen!

And once again her self portrait looking so funny!

What's funny is she had no idea and neither did

we, that we would soon be faced with the choice to move.

Ironically, she'd taken pictures of a place that in a few months

she may not see again.

It is good to take pictures....so we can all remember~

Everything!

Now on to the Moving....

~Valentine's Day Prom~

Prom '09??

I know, I know How old are we?

This did not matter because everyone that went was ready

to be ourselves and have fun!

With music that some of us hadn't heard since the

'Good ole' Days', great desserts, and

old H.S. pictures it was a blast.

The Girls having fun!

(Jenny, Kristy, Shauna, Barbara, Kim, Charlene & Jason, nice(:

Kristen, Jami, Karen, Me, Merilee, & Jessica!)

The Boys posing!

(Leroy, Norm, Brian, Jason, Kyle, Aaron, Michael,

Larry, Gabe, & Bob.)

Ahhh...Haaa! So cute!

Aaron wanted Leroy to show him an old school

dance move. I had to take a picture!

We are geeks!
Neither Aaron or I went to prom
so we submitted a picture of us 2 mo. after I graduated.



I have to tell you, Michael was laughing
at us girls the whole night!
We were dancing/singing to every song as if it were that time.
You know the running man, kid and play, etc....I think
I'm a girl who can't dance but thinks she can! (:
He was laughing at me when I saw him in the hall

this last Sunday too!

I'm sure it was a leftover laugh from Prom '09! LOL

Thanks, Karen for organizing it!
