San Francisco with the Girls 12-23-08

Nikki, Carly and I needed to pick up Sue and Chuck at the San Francisco Airport, so we decided that we would head down to the bay early and go shopping. So we left very early and got there just as the mall opened. We had so much fun, even if Nikki did try and kill me by taking me into the Chanel boutique to show me the purse that she wanted. It was $2100.00!!!!! Yes, I almost passed out!!!!! So we went to Tiffanys instead!!!!!



Doofus 12-23-08

Here is Doofus, not being very cooperative on getting in her Christmas Stocking.

Elly 12-21-08

We talked Elly into getting into her Christmas stocking so that I could take a cute picture of her. She is such a good little hamster.


More Candy Making at Home 12-18-08

I made so much candy for Christmas gifts. It was totally cool. Since I finished my Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving I had a lot of free time to do what I wanted to do. It was very relaxing.

Elly and Doofus 12-17-08

We think that they really like each other. We didn't give them a whole lot of time together just in case though. They are pretty cute together. Elly is the gray one and Doofus is the brown one.

Angelica's Quincenera 12-13-08

I took pictures at Angelica's Quincenera (As I did with her older sister Gabriella). We had a lot of fun. These are just some of the many, many pictures that I took that day.



Decorating the Christmas Tree 12-8-08

When we went out to get our Christmas tree this year we headed for a place on Bruceville Rd. When we arrived there the lights weren't on. We thought maybe they were closed, but no there were people shopping around. How???? We went in and looked around but couldnt really see anything with the light of our cell phones so we decided to go and get dinner and come back later. That worked, when we arrived back there, the lights were on. YEAH!!! Unfortunately, Nikki caught wind of the fact that we decorated the tree without her and she was not very happy. OOPS! maybe next year!!!!

Candy Making with Friends 12-6-08

Jingle Ball 12-3-08

Carly, Kaila and I attended the annual Jingle Ball put on by 107.9 the end radio station. It really wasn't that great this year. Although Carly and Kaila had a blast. Shontelle, Boys Like Girls, David Archuletta, Katy Perry and Jesse McCartney were all there.

She is the sweetest hamster ever!!!!

Decor around the house 12-1-08

Ok, so it's not around the house. I just love how our bannister looks at Christmas that I always take a picture of it. When we take it down it is very sad, it looks very plain in the entry way.

Thanksgiving 11-27-08

Thanksgiving this year was spent at my mom's house. This is the first time in a while that we did not have to travel to Southern California for soccer. It was a very nice day. I think it was enjoyed by all.



Cousins 11-27-08

So, all my mom asked for Christmas was pictures of the grandkids again. So Thanksgiving morning I got them all up early and met then out at Laguna Town Hall to take pictures. It was a little like pulling teeth but it was also a ton a fun. To see how they all act together is hilarious. It ended up that most of the pictures were good but some were just bad, bad, bad. It also didn't help that mother nature cried all day the day before and the ground was soaking wet, so we could do no sit down pictures. Bummer but all in all we did get a few good pictures of the "cousins" crew!

Trace Adkins / Alan Jackson Concert 11-22-08

We got an oppurtunity to go to this concert from a friend of ours. We had so much fun and the concert was amazing.

Carly Winter Choir Concert 11-19-08

This concert was not the best concert. It was in the cafeteria of the school and it didn't sound very good at all. Carly seems to enjoy choir so that's all that matters.

Carly Choir Picture 11-18-08

Carly is pretty excited about this picture. HAHA!!!! I am sure I will get in trouble for putting it on my blog. But isn't that why we have kids....so that we can embarrass them.
