Redecorating!

Daniel and I decided it was time to give our bedroom a face lift. We began the process with painting our walls an energizing orange! Max and Daniel had to put three coats of paint on to cover the chocolate color that was on the walls previously! I'll keep you posted as the room is closer to completion! There is quite a bit to be done still, but I love the process! Thank you Max and Daniel for all of your hard work!

Lady in Waiting! Baby Update!

I know so many of you are anxiously awaiting the arrival our newest little princess! Believe me there is nobody more anxious than myself! I am due officially on May 19th which is this coming Saturday! Daniel has promised to post pictures as soon as our little one is born! So please stay posted! Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers as the day draws near!

Cinco De Mayo

This last weekend we enjoyed a beautiful weekend in San Diego! It was wonderful to get away for a couple of days! My cousin Angela, her husband and daughter were visiting from New York and we were excited to catch up with them on Sunday! On Saturday though, we went to Old Town San Diego to enjoy the festivities of Cinco De Mayo. There was beautiful music, great food and a street fair! You would never guess who always has the camera!

Strange Cat!

How many cats do you know that like water!? I waited for a howling, screeching kitten when Rellik decided to jump in the bath with Jaelynn just a few days ago! Instead of the reaction I expected, he enjoyed the warm water and bubbles as if he had been taking baths his whole life! Jaelynn was overjoyed to have "meow" in the tub with her!

Oh What Fun!

There is nothing that Jaelynn loves more then helping Daddy when he has to move material on the forklift! I love it too! It gives me a half hour to finish up supper!

Daddy's and Thier Daughters

Big Hug and Kiss for Daddy
Helping Daddy outside!


Enjoying Italian dressing on carrots! Yummy!

So often I am asked what Daniel does for work, and most of the time people leave more confused than before they asked! Trying to explain "architectural millwork" is not an easy task! These pictures are of a project recently completed in Hidden Hills, CA. Daniel designed all of the rooms and now has a fairly large size crew in the field making his concepts come to life! All of the paneling and woodwork you see is exactly what Daniel does for work!

Why So Serious Boys?

Any guesses as to what they might have been discussing?

Hello Spring!

My Mom has cultivated a love for gardening in my heart just this last couple of years, as she has spent many long hours with me in my garden! For the first time I am reading gardening magazines and enjoying them through and through! Here are just a few pictures of my spring garden! Next I hope to plant a vegetable garden in the back yard!

Beautiful Sunday Afternoon

We enjoyed the company of the Parish Family this last weekend! After a full day of rain on Friday, we decided on Sunday to take a walk to a local park! We all enjoyed being outside and playing with the children on the swings, slides and more!

Enjoying The Sunshine!

Happy Girl!

Rockin Away!

Jaelynn will spent countless amounts of time rocking on her horse as she watches the world outside!

Teething!

Nothing like a nice, cold apple to relieve the pain of teething! At least that is what Jaelynn thinks!

A Little Girl!

My how she has grown, and it feels as though it were overnight!

Let's see if I can sum up Jaelynn in a few words...

-Energetic!

-Talkative (mom, dad, baby, baba, amma, papa, hot, nose, eyes, uhoh, no, and many more)
-Loves being outside, especially in the garden smelling the flowers!

-Animal lover!

-Cuddle bug!

-Strong-willed (yes! we are daily working on that little will of hers)

-Anxiously awaiting the arrival of her baby sister.

-Such a big helper already! She helps with the laundry, picking up and follows me around doing whatever I am doing!

-A little mommy, taking care of her baby dolls like a natural.

-Daddy's little girl!

-Mommy's pride and joy

-Truly a BLESSING!

A New Arrival

I know with a heading like that, you were all expecting to hear that we had had our new baby! Not yet!! We adopted a kitten this last weekend, Rellik. Daniel insisted that he did not want an indoor cat, well, Rellik has taken quite a liking to his master. And I think Daniel is warming up as well. Rellik has decided that the best place to sleep is as close to Daniel's head as possible, as you can see in the first picture. (taken at 2:46 a.m. by a pregnant woman who can't sleep) Jaelynn also has fallen head over heals for her new pet. She follows him around everywhere he goes, will wait patiently for him to come out from underneath the bed, tries to feed him, and calls him "meow". What is a home without animals?

It's Been Awhile!

My camera has had dead batteries for some time now. Therefore, I have not taken many pictures! This was Jaelynn's reaction to the camera!
