A new addition to our family...

Actually TWO!!

No No No, not babies but fish! Today we took the girls to get a beta fish and because whatever Aubrey does or gets Evelyn HAS to do or have also, meant we had to get two. They each picked one out. Aubrey loves blue right now so of course she got a blue fish, and Evelyn chose a red one.

Once we got home we let Aubrey name them and she came up with names all by her self, which I am so proud of her for! She is becoming such a big girl which is so bitter sweet for me because she is no longer my baby, but a little girl that can carry on a conversation with me. Anyway, She immediately named one Flounder, though I misunderstood her and though she said Wednesday, which I thought was an interesting name. She had to think for a bit before she chose a name for the other one but she eventually picked Nemo. So now we have Flounder and Nemo, can you tell we love Disney movies :)

A Ladybug Party!!

Here are pics from Evvy's Ladybug party.

Jessie's Baby Shower

Over the weekend Laurie and I headed up north to throw a baby shower for Craig's cousin Jessica and her Husband Sal. They already have a adorable little girl, Madelyn, who is a month older than Aubrey, and are now expecting a little boy who they'll name, either Nicolas Matteo or Matteo Nicolas. Here are some pics of the shower

A little behind

I've been really busy lately and as a result have entries from Christmas that I've written but haven't had the time to upload the photos (they take soo long) so they are just sitting there waiting to be posted. Hopefully I'll get to them soon, but I can't make any promises since we're in the middle of moving (yep we finally found a place, there's a post about that too!) If you bear with me for a little bit longer I will get around to it.

ETA: A few of them are up :D

A week without my Husband

I'm so glad it's just a week because I couldn't handle being away from him any longer than that! I'm only 4 days into it and it already seems like it's been a week since I dropped him off at LAX. He's in Houston for Orientation/Training for his new job, which so far we both love! He has the same insurance benefits that he had with Oxy, but his schedule is soo much better- He works 6am-6pm, Wednesday to Wednesday day, and has every other week off!! I am looking forward to all the family time we'll have and am so thankful to the Lord for blessing him with this job! He comes home Saturday night and then we'll be moving on Monday. I can't wait to have my Husband back and be in our new place! Prayers for a safe flight home for Craig would be great! :)

Happy Birthday Evelyn!!

I can not believe she's one!!! Where has this last year gone? Because today is Craig's last day at Oxy, Evelyn had to have her appointment, and shots, today :'( But she did great!

Once we got home we celebrated with a homemade cake and a balloon, which she LOVED! I absolutely love seeing her face light up!!!

A New Home!

Craig and I finally found a place! It's in a good area of Ventura and right next to the freeway, which is great for Craig's commute. It's a Condo with a 2 car garage (=plenty of space for Craig's weight lifting equipment), a master loft, a down stairs bedroom for the girls, 2 bathrooms, an enclosed patio and huge closets. The complex also has a pool, which Aubrey is so excited about and keeps asking if she can go play in the "beach"! I'm not too thrilled with the fact that the girls won't be on the same floor as us and will have a sliding glass door that leads to the patio, but since our room is a loft we should be able to hear them and the patio is enclosed and Craig is already planning all the safety devices he's going to put on the door, so no one will be able to get in or out! We signed the lease today and will be moving in on Monday. I can't wait! I'll post some pics once we're moved in.
