Pine Valley

A little piece of heaven!  This place is one of my new favs!  Its close, pretty and I saw very little wild life.....compared to most camping places!  David ended up having a VERY LOOOONG week of work due to some major flooding so he didn't come with us but I am glad he got to relax on his weekend!!! 

Sorry, not in order!

Heres part of the gang relaxing and playing games at the camp!!!
 Lots of fun walks!  I think Jet enjoyed this one the most!  Fresh apples and a pretty girl!!
 Heres some of the torn up highway!  And the reason why David couldn't come ):  He had to spend one night in Mesquite and the hotel had NO POWER!  CRAZY!
 JET!
 Dad & Uncle Rand....can you tell they are bros? (;
 Walks by the lake
 GORG!
 Jet had fun when he got to roam around on his own eating (chewing on) pines comes and dirt!
 Loving the dirt!

 I was shocked at how long he sat here suuuuuper relaxed and quite with Aunt Brit!  SO nice!
 Ivy girl!
 The boy!
 Super old church!  Made by a boat builder!  inside its basically an upside down boat!  No nails! 
 

SUUUUURPRISE!

David has ALWAYS wanted a surprise party!  And this year I am proud to say I successfully pulled it off! He had NO clue at all!  GO ME!!!  (=
I held it at my sister's house and we did swimming and a taco bar!!!  Photos to come!  I got major hot wife points that day!
 
 
 "YOU GOT ME!"
 


 
 
Brennan was awesome to let me use her house!  She was gone for the fist part doing a party but it was fun having her show up in costume!
 

Labor Day weekend

This year we went to AZ to visit some of David's family.  We had a really good time!  I am happy I could go and get to know them a little better!!!  Can't wait for future visits!

We tried to stay entertained on the drive up.  Ivy had a DVD player and some yummy treats!  Jet pretty much and fun watching and giggling with Ivy, and David and I talked a lot when when that got old.....a bubble blowing contest!  It started because I was trying to blow two bubbles with my gum, then we each added more gum and went crazy! 




I think its safe to say I was the champion!  HEHE!  He did get a few good ones!  My jaw hurt so bad after! 

Once we got there I was in major vacation mode and didn't have my phone on me and ended up being without it entire time!  I didn't even notice, it was awesome!  I do wish I had more pics though!  I borrowed few from David's sis!!!

These are all from the last day just before we left.  We had breakfast at David's sister's (Kylara) house and then went bowling!  Fun time!

Here is Jet with Uncle Nathan & Aunt Kylara!!! 
 Then add me....my face looks weird...oh well :/
 David and I with Grandma Norma, Jet, Jace (David's cousin and Jet's new best friend!) and Nathan!
 Im SOOOO glad Kylara took pix!
 G-ma and Jet!

1st grade!

Ms. Ivy is in the first grade!  Hard to believe!  She is VEEEERY social and shes loving school!  Her teacher, Ms. Pino is seriously AWESOME!  Here are a couple pictures of her first day! 7am is NOT our thing!




Boy or Girl!?!?!?!



We decided to do a gender reveal piñata!  David and I went to the ultrasound place in the morning and requested they write it down and out it in an envelope.  It was VERY tempting not to peak, especially because the girl didn't seal it! GRR!

Later that day my parents took the piñata to fill it, the whole day was suuuuper rushed!  We literally did the piñata and I left for a big hair app.  Still fun though!

I let the kids all hit, but wanted David to break the piñata so the candy would go flying for my pics. (=  I had a feeling........AND I WAS RIIIIIIIGHT!


 
BOOOOOOOOY!
 
Oh boy!  We are thrilled to be welcoming another little boy in January!
He and Jet will be about 14 months apart!
 
He is already ADORABLE!

TEXAS!

Last week we left for a mini vacation to Texas!!!  My parents treated my sisters Brennan, Brittany & I to visit the place we ( Bren & I ) were born!!!  Brittany was 5 when we moved so she had some memories of Texas (=
Right after we got through security it turned midnight on Brennan's birthday!!!!  It was a late flight which was pretty nice....even though I didn't sleep at all!  :/ Luckily it went by very fast!  We got in just before 7am.  I was very sleepy and our hotel check in was at 3!  We had breakfast and went to the grocery store and called just in case they had a room ready early...they did!!!!!  We took a nap and then got ready for lunch.  We went to Texas Roadhouse it was aaaaaaamazing!  I had a hard time because I had some dental work done the day before but dang it was bomb!

 
 I don't know how this started but we used to do this and say, "penny penny penny...."
It prob creeped her out!
Bren's birthday!
 We were soooooo sleepy by the end of the day!
Day 2 we went to visit our old apartment (castle) which was Brennan's first home!!!  Our place before flooded forcing us to move!  We went on a walk as we used to do often across the street to a college.  There used to be kittens living near the library and we'd feed them all the time, Brit clearly remembers this and was excited to see this place.  When we got there.....we saw cats and kittens living there!!!  That was sooo cool! 
Below is a photo near the track we used to play on while my mom went on walks.


 Outside our old kitchen!  My mom used to tell us to stand in the corner lol....very funny mom!  Its a round kitchen!
 Where I was born!
Kitty!
 Princess by her castle!

Day 2 we visited my Dad's college!!!
 Went to Mexican place we visited a lot....the original was closed years before but this was nearby! 
 The babies were pooped!



 Going up to my Dad's class room!!!  It was the only one open because they were cleaning!!!
 We also went to a place we would go to see alligator's!!!  And we saw one!
 Message chair at the school library!
 My dad worked at the bookstore for a while!!!
 Bren's birth announcement!!!
 We saw dead people!
 Uh OH!

Day 3 was fun!!!  Started the day by going to the Chiropractic convention and anniversary lunch in!  Seeing my dad with his old friends/classmates was def a huge highlight for me!!!  So cute!!!  Afterward we walked around some shops and later we met up with my Grandma's best friend Aunt Lou!!!  She and her husband Uncle Brian treated us to dinner at a great steakhouse near the beach!  As we were enjoying our dinner little jet made a big yucky mess!  Yes, he pooped on Grandpa!  And Aunt Brittany! NOOOO )= haha!  So the rest of his evening was spent in his swim shirts! HAHA!
After dinner we took a ride on a fairy....seemed like it would be lame but oh my gosh it was fun!!!  We brought bread for the seagulls and they chased the fairy for food! It was trippy! They would fly right over our heads!!!
Here is me in the car on the fairy!!!
 Cleaning up Jet after his poop attack!
 With my sissys and our seagulls friends in back!
 During the lunch in....we got a bit bored!  haha

Last day in Pasadena, TX! AKA Stinkadena or "the armpit of Texas!"  HAHA  Its the land of the oil refineries.  Yup, that's were i'm from lol!  We woke up and went to church and went to another place we used to see alligators!!!  It was the most humid day and I was over it after 5 seconds!  With stunk because it really was a neat place!!!
