More Pictures from the Reunion

Reunion 2009

Time to play catch up on my blog!!!

In November went home to San Diego for Thanksgiving & Travis's 10 year Reunion! We had such a good time! One of our first nights out with no kids, responsibilities & actually stayed out late. Getting to see all your friends from high school was awesome. To see what people are up to, who married who & who has children.

Mine & Travis story is one they were all so happy to see & hear! We met his senior year. Everyone we do not keep in touch with were so happy to see we had made it. We are married, with 2 beautiful girls & are really enjoying life. I will find a picture from 10 years ago & put it on here! It was also funny to see our friends who have not changed...literally look the same, act the same & well you know...The ones you see & think "Boy they will never change"

Either way it was a nice evening out & a very nice atmosphere & awesome to see everyone in one place!

San Diego

We visit San Diego quite often being all of our family is there! Everytime we visit Travis always takes a couple pictures of the sunset & in the morning off my parents balcony at the beach! Our family is extremly lucky to have this condo, my Gpa gave it to my parents once all us kids move out. Kayla is in love with the beach & spends most of her time on that balcony when we are there! PERFECT I already know what my next post it! Back to original reason for this post... We have soooo many awesome pictures that I have FINALLY came up with our bedroom decoration. I am going to frame these pictures and hang them in our room & with black vinyl lettering put "Life is Better at the Beach!! I think it will go well since our room is blues and tan. I will post pictures after the completion :)

We are actually leaving next Tuesday for San Diego for Thanksgiving & Travis's 10 year reunion! We are spending Thanksgiving day at his dad's house and then Friday with my family! His reunion is Saturday night in Downtown San Diego at Dussini's Bar & Billiards! Really fancy...I am excited because Travis and I do not get out much so it will be fun to get out & somewhere that is really nice. My mom is excited cause that means she gets the girls & have Gma & Gpa time! Pictures to come!!

Kylie Beth

Kylie Beth is such the opposite of Kayla! When we had Kayla we were very lucky to have such a relaxed and quiet child! Kylie is soooo much fun but she also has this personality of her own. She will climb on anything, eats anything and everything & is a complete dare devil. At least a couple time a day you will hear a thud & there is Kylie falling off whatever she has decided to climb. She is eight months old & already has 8 teeth...at this time for Kayla she was getting her 1st tooth...NOT her 8th! Kylie has already learned to crawl up the first stair...I think watching Kayla is making my Kylie grow up fast :(

There are really cute together though & I thank God for 2 healthy children! We are truly blessed!

Scentsy

Well it is official I am addicted to Scentsy!! It is a flame less candle that you burn the wax in a cute ceramic holder that has a light bulb. The scents are amazing and makes the entire house smell yummy! Check it out www.scentsy.net

Manager at work introduced me, I literally spent 3 days smelling all the scents! If you want to smell to let me know & I can bring them home for everyone to smell! Here is a picture of the warmer that I picked since it matches my kitchen. Either way I got 9 different scents...some Holiday ones and some that I just had to have!! Now I do not have to buy a candle every week! This wax lasts forever!!!

Halloween

Halloween this year was so much fun! Kayla actually understood that she was saying Trick or Treat at every door & in return they gave her candy! She had so much fun with all the neighbor girls! Kylie on the other hand decided to take a late nap & missed out on most of the evening! We bought 2 bags of candy from Costco and it was all gone.

There were so many people in our neighborhood & since it was on a Saturday night all the neighbors stayed outside for a while! I liked the fact that we FINALLY found Kayla's costume & it was at least somewhat Dora! It was the Dora Wishing Fairy!! Really cute & she did not want to take it off at the end of the night.

Kayla's 2nd Birthday!

Kayla Rose had such a good time at her 2nd birthday! She went down for a nap at noon and the party was starting at 2 so we had 2 hours to decorate. When she woke up at 2 the look on her face was priceless. She was soooo excited to see Dora all over the house! There was balloons, figurines and streamers. I was really nervous about the pinata...Kayla & I went to her best friends birthday & Haley was terrified of her pinata and screamed when all the kids were hitting it with the bat. Well Kayla did awesome & was actually upset when we took the bat to give other kids a chance.

She got sooo many awesome gifts and A LOT of Dora stuff. We started yesterday on her Thank You cards that she is making herself with her art set. Needless to say they are very interesting and I think everyone will get a good laugh! Overall the day was such a success & she was EXTREMELY tired at the end of the night. It was nice to have my mom and dad from San Diego come in for the occasion!

Pumpkin Patch...

Like my previous post...I love this time of the year!!

So we took the girls to a Pumpkin Patch in San Diego!

San Diego & Back....

We went to San Diego for an extended weekend! The weather was great & it was awesome to see family! We did not stop the entire time there, we had a wedding, a test, dinners & Monday Night football at a friends. I will post pictures soon, I have been trying for the last hour and no success. Now that we are back home OF COURSE Travis & Kylie are sick!

You never realize how much you love your home & the normal nights at home till you are away & in complete chaos. While in San Diego we had the family bed....both girls with us & I am so sleep deprived that I now need a vacation from the vacation.

One of the best parts of our trip was on Sunday my mom made a wonderful dinner...her homemade carne asada....her secret recipe. After years of begging she taught me how to make it. I am sure that it will take numerous tries, but I am ready & am going to be making it soon! Another really cool thing was while my mom, sister and I cooked on Sunday my dad took Travis flying all over San Diego county in his cesna airplane. Travis took some awesome pictures....

GLAD TO BE HOME......

HALLOWEEN

I absolutely love Halloween...I love the costumes, and I love the weather. Yesterday Travis, the girls and I sat outside and decorated. Kayla is not into the scary things, I took her to Party City...well with all the scary figues hanging and the spooky music...she was ready to leave. So needless to say the ghosts we got to hang up are friendly looking ghosts. After we decorated Kayla was soooooo excited to see the lights and pumpkins after it was dark.

I am not sure what she is going to be for Halloween yet....Kylie is going to be Tinkerbell. There were so many costumes to pick from. So we are going to go next week and see what she likes. NOTHING SCARY! I am actually nervous about Halloween night with all the costumes and people she will see.

We leave Wednesday for San Diego, we have a wedding and Travis has his journeyman test on Friday! He has to take in California because we paid for the test almost 4 years ago but then moved here. It is valid in Arizona as well. So keep him in your prayers this week, it is a four hour test! I am sooooo excited to see my family & friends but NOT excited for the car ride....a 2 year old and 7 month old! I will let you all know how it goes and will post pictures while we are there!

Okay 2nd try to keep up my blog....

Okay lets hope that I can take 5 minutes each day & keep this updated! My mom would love to be able to open my blog each day & be able to see her girls! This has been a very busy & blessed last 6 months. Kylie Beth was born on March 9, 2009. She is now 6 months old....crawling, eating, 6 teeth and very big girl already! Onto Kayla she just had her 2nd birthday! She is such a big girl and takes such good care of Kylie. She wanted to have a Dora the Explorer party. She was beyond excited to walk down stairs after her nap to see all the decorations!

Other then the 2 girls we are doing extremely well. I finally got a job back with my old company & have to drive 2 minutes to work!! Travis takes his journeyman electrical test on October 16th...so keep him in your prayers. He passes that and a lot of doors will open for him! Well this is all for now....Tomorrow I will do a post of Kayla's party & all the fun pictures!!!!

This is going to be a big weekend for us...we have friends coming in from San Diego for Travis's Birthday/FBR/Superbowl!!!! Busy weekend...I am really excited though! I love football & friends and of course good food since I am 7 1/2 months pregnant! I will make sure to post some pictures! Saturday the guys go to FBR....Travis, Alex, Chris, Scott! They will have such a good time. Then Sunday we are having friends and neighbors here for Superbowl & doing a potluck appetizer type thing.

Oh and tonight Travis's started painting Kylie's room.....Pink & Chocolate! It is going to be soooo cute. So for all of you visitors you will be sleeping in a pink & chocolate room! I think Travis wanted to paint the room to make Alex sleep in it. Alex and his wife Kim are having a boy & Travis really wants a boy.....so to torture Alex he is making sure he sleeps in a pink room!
