hello blogging world and friends! after a year of disappearance, i am back after being talked back into it by far away friends! so instead of trying to catch up, i just started a couple months back. I was feeling too busy, overwhelmed, especially since i spend a good amount my free time digital scrap booking, it seemed silly to blog too. so sorry its all scrap booked pages but its the only fast way to throw it on here since its already done... here are our spring pics of the kids, i cant believe how fast they grow up! please leave me your blog address if i dont have it, i lost a lot of them last year! thanks :)

The Kite festival!!

I LOVE decorating cakes and making cake balls!! and my kids LOVE eating them! its a win win at our house!

our road trip to Fresno, just me and the kids, to pick up daddy! what a fun 9 hour drive!

February Fun :)

how time flies...

Time just flies! we have been so busy, i cant even keep up on here anymore!! Cody took some great pictures of the kids at the park, i had to show, and the pic shows Cody and his girlfriend, but as of yesterday, she is now his Fiance!!! yeah!!
We are so excited for them, arent they just cute!
My mom printed my digital scrapbooks for the last couple years for my birthday a couple weeks ago, (by the way, i hate being 30) i wanted to stay in my 20's) forever!! anyways, it got me all pumped again to get my scrapbooks all updated, so i have been doing a lot of that, and a little of blogging!! i still love you all and will be checking your blogs right away!! things just go by so fast!!

SNOW!... what is that?

So we woke up and looked outside and there was snow everywhere.... which is crazy because you dont ever wake up to that here!!

I thought that Kaden would want to build a snowman, but he actually just wanted to have a snowball fight the whole time!! guess he is growing up!!

January days...

It was pouring rain, so we headed to the museum with our friends.. always a blast!
the kids love the wildlife museum, as you can see by all their poses, which they are so happy to do for me :)
