This amazing young man and my friend from Yorba Linda was killed fighting for our freedom on June 22,2010. I feel honored and blessed to know him. I will never forget the day he was baptized. I still remember him coming up to Mike and I at church to tell us he was joining the marines. He was so excited to serve our country. He was a Warrior and now he is My HERO. God be with you until we meet again Claudio!!!

Happy 66th Birthday CHIEF

2010-06-18T21:55:00.000-07:00

Today is my Dads birthday. Wish he was here to celebrate. Hope you are enjoying it in heaven Dad.

Dear Chief,

Happy 66th Birthday Dad. Wish you were here to play with my girls. I know you would have LOVED and ADORED them. We talk about you all the time. Kylie and Britain love their Papa Joe!!! Wish we could BBQ one more time together in the back yard. Wish I could come home and go into the garage and watch you work on your truck or dance with you to some mariachi music (that you could not even understand, but that is why I loved it). Wish I could go to an Angel game with you and watch you talk trash to all the ANGEL HATERS. Wish I could have just one more day to spend with you, just one more day to tell you face to face how much I love you. I will never forget all the time we spent together those last few months. I am so grateful that I was able to take care of you and be by your side in your worst of times. You are the bravest man I have ever know and fought a good fight.

I LOVE AND MISS YOU CHIEF.

Love,

Jessett
Your Little Girl

My First Half Marathon.. 13.1 Miles BABY!!!

2010-05-24T08:05:00.000-07:00

I DID IT!!! I RAN 13.1 MILES!!!

Back in January the thought of running a half marathon seemed IMPOSSIBLE. As I started training I grew to LOVE running. It was literally one mile at a time for me. The first week I could barely run 1 mile with out stopping. By week 6 of my training, I was running 4.5. After that I seemed to just love it. I guess they call that the "runners high" or so that is what I hear. I would run around 20-25 miles a week and it felt good.

The day of the marathon I was nerves, but so excited. The first 3miles were rough for me. I was just getting my body warmed up and there were a few crazy hills. After I was warmed up the miles seemed to FLY by. Mile 6,7,8 and 9 were great. At around mile 10 I was getting a little tired, but that is right when I saw Mike and the girls. WOW... Talk about a burst of energy. I felt so relieve to see them. It made me excited to push through the last three miles.

Once I could see the finish line (around mile 12) and here the people cheering I knew I was almost done. I rounded the final corner and the first person I see is Mike, then my girls and then Mark and Danielle and all there kids. The feeling that I felt at that very moment was indescribable.

I loved training and running in this half marathon and I am excited for my next one in June. That is right, i said it. I am doing another one. I loved it and I hope to beat my time of 2hrs 33 minutes.

If I could do this ANYONE can.

Already to go... 6am check-in!!!

Crossing the finish line.. I was feeling happy/tired/emotional and excited to be done.

My BIGGEST Support

My TWO BIGGEST Fans

Seeing ALL these faces as I crossed the finish line was worth every mile I ran.

Easter 2010

Here is what we have been up to the last few months. Starting from the beginning of the year. :):):)

*****WARNING******PICTURE OVER LOAD*****

Our sweet Britain turned 2 on January 20th. As you can see we had a DORA PARTY!

We took Britain and Kylie to Build a Bear for a fun afternoon on Brits birthday.

They loved their bear and bunny and thought it was so fun to have a little house to take them home in.

Just a couple pictures I took of the Birthday Day Girl.

Mike's birthday was January 21th, the day after Britains and he turned the ripe old age of 29. So, we had MORE CAKE and went out for Teppanyaki with two of his brothers and their wifes.

Why I love girls

2009-12-20T09:33:00.000-08:00

I have a HUGE obsession with dresses, bows and shoes for my girls. They have about a dozen (ok.... maybe a little more) matching dresses and bows to go with every single one of them. I have come to the realization that I might have a "SMALL" problem with it.

They just look so cute, I can not resist.

Kylie and Britain all ready in their Sunday dresses.

My beautiful Kylie

My adorable Britain

Princess On Ice

2009-12-18T07:59:00.000-08:00

We took the girls to see Disney's "Princess On Ice" and they had a great time. Kylie was so into every thing and Britain was a happy girl, once the popcorn arrived. We love taking our girls to do these kinds of things. There is nothing better than your little girls in their "dress-ups" watching their favorites princesses ice skate.

WE WISH YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

Halloween weekend!!!!

2009-11-06T16:57:00.001-08:00

Halloween weekend was so much fun. We had all of Mikes family come in from out of town. We went to a truck or treat, a baby blessing, hung out with family, ate ALOT of food and candy, and even squeezed in a little shopping.

It was a fabulous weekend!!!!

We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by loving an imperfect person perfectly.

Much needed prayers....

2009-10-02T14:14:00.000-07:00

I am sending this post out to ask all who reads this to please pray for my mom, Shirley Rivera. She has to go in for emergency surgery tomorrow morning at 8am for her eye. She has suffered from glaucoma for years now and the pressure in her right eye has dropped to 1%. There is a strong possibility that she could lose her eye completely. She is an amazing woman and I don't know what I would do with out her. She is a wonderful mom, awesome grandma and my best friend. She is really scared and I pray that she knows how much the Lord loves her and how much we all do. The power of pray is REALLY so please pray for the Lord to bless her right now. Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for your prayers. They mean the world to my family and I.

Are you kidding me......

2009-09-21T17:16:00.000-07:00

This cute little face below has a serious BITING problem and Mike and I have tried everything to get her to stop. We have put her in time out, flicked her lip, slapped her hands and finally had to resort to HOT SAUCE. We thought for sure it would work because it works so well with Kylie. Well, we were SO wrong. The little biter LOVES IT!!!! OMG!! What the heck are we going to do with this one.

We love you so much Brit, but you have got to stop the BITING, even if Kylie sometimes deserves it. LOL!

The face of an Angel and the BITE of a Tiger.....

How could you get mad at this face....

Don't you do it.....

Come on..... Are you kidding me....

Where does the time go..... Kylie's the BIG #4......

2009-09-17T19:35:00.000-07:00

Happy birthday Kylie... Four years ago today you came into this world and maybe me truely understand my purpose here on this earth. We love you so much!!!!

Our beautiful Kylie....

I know that I should not brag, but I took this adorable picture of Kylie. I have always had a passion for photography and never really acted on it. Hmmmmm...... Maybe I should. What do you think???

Kylie's first day of Preschool

2009-09-17T19:24:00.001-07:00

Kylie went to her first day of school this week and is LOVING every second of it. Ever since we moved to Utah Kylie has been asking me when is she going to start school. So needless to say I have been frantically searching for a school and finally found one. I am so happy with the school and I am looking forward to seeing all that she learns this year.

She is such a big girl!!!!

Brit had to be in one of the pictures.. LOL!!! She loves taking pictures now...

Ballerina or Tap Dancer?????

2009-09-10T12:37:00.001-07:00

Kylie went to her FIRST dance class this week and was SOOOOOOO excited. She was a little shy at first but soon warmed up. She loves to put her tap shoes on and shuffle around the kitchen.. LOL!!! Being a girl is way to much fun....

It feels like yesterday I was bringing her home from the hospital and now she is a little dancer.

Brit is Kylie's biggest fan.....

All ready to go.....

She really thinks she is a"dancer". LOL!

My little girl is growing up....

Happy happy birthday day to you my dear.....

2009-09-03T18:46:00.000-07:00

Happy birthday to this lovely........

Good bye Cali

2009-08-27T09:35:00.000-07:00

We had a great time in California this summer being with ALL my family, Mike's parents(thanks again for letting us stay with you, yet again) and of course our amazing friends. It was way to short but we are excited to be in Utah for this next chapter in our life. We look forward to the end of this next summer when Mike completes the paramedic program.

We have been in Utah now for about a week and a half and cant wait to venture out and see what Utah has to offer. Thanks to everyone who helped us in our transition from Vegas to California and then from California to Utah. It is going to be a busy year and we are so excited.

4th of July

2009-08-27T08:46:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Dad

2009-06-18T15:16:00.000-07:00

My Dad, Joseph Paul Rivera would have been 65 years old today, but on January 22, 2005 he lost the fight against lung cancer at the young age of 60. He fought a good fight and passed away quietly with all of his family surrounding him.

Today I honor him and want you all to know what a special man he was to me. He loved his family and did anything and everything to protect us. He always wanted to best for us and it makes me understand more and more every day why he was so hard and strict with us. He wanted us to have more than he did and do some thing good with our life's. He worked so hard to support our family and take care of my mom and his 13 kids. Yes, that's right, I said
13...... 5 boys and 8 girls !!!! It is what we call his "little tribe" or his legacy. :) My mom and him were a good team when it came to parenting and NOTHING got past them.

If he were still alive we would have celebrated his birthday like this.... A Barbecue, A BIG Chocolate Cake, swimming, and of course a little mariachi music (that he would not know one word too, but says he does) LOL! And of course he would probably be wearing his favorite cut off shorts, tube socks and a bandanna. LOL! Miss you dad!!!

Happy Birthday CHIEF!!!!!

One of the last pictures I have of my dad and I together..... 2 months before he passed away.

Dad,

I hope and pray that I have made you proud so far. I wish so bad that you could see how happy I am and meet my two sweet little girls. I wish that you could watch them play in your backyard and run around with them. We talk to them about their Papa Joe all the time and they know that you are in Heaven right now and they will meet you one day. Mike and I are doing great. He takes such great care of us girls and is a hard worker. He is the best husband a girl could ever hope and pray for. You would love how handy he is. He is just like you, he could fix and build anything. You two would have had a lot of fun together. Maybe one day you can work on something together. I love and miss you dad. God be with you, till we meet again.

Love,

Your daughter, Jessett

Daddy Daughter Camp Out

2009-06-09T00:26:00.000-07:00

This last weeekend Mike and Kylie went camping, well in the backyard but to Kylie it was the real thing. Kylie was so excited all day to do this but I thought for sure she was not going to last the whole night. They popped popcorn, watched movies, drank soda, ate candy and slept (the whole night) in a tent. What kid would not like this???

Mike is such a great dad and always does such cute things with our girls. He did say "well since we don't have boys to take on camp outs yet, I will have my own "daddy daughter camp out". :)

Watching a movie with dad and loaded up on sugar, right before they went to sleep. LOL!

Right after they woke up, Kylie wanted to watch another movie and snuggle. So cute!

This picture melts my heart.

Brit woke up and wanted to go and see daddy and Ky Ky.

LEGOLAND

2009-06-08T23:29:00.000-07:00

My sister Joetta called me last week and invited the girls and I to LEGOLAND and we of course said yes. It was amazing to walk around and see all the thing that they have made out of Lego's. The girls had a blast as you can see!!!!

Thanks Jo for such a fun day.

Kylie saw this guy and wanted to take a picture by him because he had a camera like we did. LOL!

She thought this ride was "soooo fun".

This cute little elephant behind us was made out of Lego's...... WOW!
JD and Kylie could have played all day

Memorial Weekend Fun

2009-05-26T23:03:00.000-07:00

We had a really fun Memorial Weekend. To start it off Mike FINALLY came home from working for over 3 weeks in California. We missed he SO much.

Our weekend consisted of a couple BBQ's, ALOT of swimming, a few naps, going to watch the fish feeding at Bass Pro Shop, Outback Steak House and of course the Laker game (what an upset that was.... Come on boys!!..). Talk about a fun and relaxing weekend... It was just what we needed.

Our little fish......

This is what life is all about........

Always posing........ Cheese Ball.......

Baby Vance......... I am the proud Auntie to this handsome little guy...... Welcome to the world Vance. I can't wait to snuggle you..........

Congrats Jon and Tiff!!!

I'M BACK!!!!!!

2009-05-20T22:08:00.001-07:00

FELLOW BLOGGERS!!!!! I'm back............ I have been a little out of touch with everything and everyone these past couple of months. Life has been a little crazy but we are staying strong and trusting in the Lord. When Mike lost his job I felt like our whole world was crashing around us. I thought WHY, why us. Then I stopped and thought about it.... I had to stop feeling sorry for us and start turning to the Lord for answers. It is nothing that we did or did not do, it is the world we live in right now. I am SO grateful to have the gospel in my life and know that there is a plan that is much bigger than us. I am grateful for my amazing husband who is one of the most hard working men I know and my two health children.

Below is a few posts that I wanted to catch you all up on.

Mothers Day

2009-05-20T21:41:00.001-07:00

My Mothers Day was the best. I slept in and woke up to my cute little Kylie yelling "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, COME EAT BREAKFAST MOM!!". Thanks Mike for asking me to marry you and giving me two of the most beautiful and sassy little girls.

I love being a "Mommy" and would not trade it for anything in this world.

Valentines Party

2009-02-14T23:36:00.000-08:00

Our ward "play group" had a party yesterday for Valentines and it was so much fun. The kids had the best time decorating their bags, frosting cookies and cupcakes and eating delicious food.

These two girls are the best of friends. They were so happy to see each other and sad once it was time to go.

Passing out Valentines

They were so excited to go through their bags

This little girl has a BIG sweet tooth.

Ethel M Chocolate Factory...

2009-02-14T23:19:00.000-08:00

A couple weeks ago we had play group at the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory. It was fun to see how they make the chocolate and then of course sample some of their yummy chocolate. After the tour the kids ran around the cactus garden they had on their property. It was a fun outing and as you can see the girls enjoyed it...

Kylie is a happy girl when she's got her chocolate... Uh... I wonder were she gets that from???

Kylie was so excited to pick out some chocolate to take home..

Britain wanted some too.

Taking a stroll in the cactus gardens

Best of friends....

Our trip to Mammoth

2009-02-05T08:23:00.001-08:00

We went with some of our really good friends to Mammoth this past weekend and with 6 kids and 6 adults managed to have an awesome time. We had a great time relaxing, sitting in the hot tub, playing in the snow, doing a little shopping, going on the Gondola, snowboarding, napping and watching UFC. The kids had the best time playing in the snow, playing in the play room, watching Little Einsteins and dancing around the house. It was fun to watch them all play together. Mike was able to get one day of boarding in and I was able to get an LONG nap. So Mom and Dad were happy!!!! Despite almost everyone being sick we all had a great time. Thanks to Justin and Jenny for a great time. We love hanging out with them and getting the kids together.

Gondola Ride.. So fun! Kylie LOVED playing in the snow

Sledding was ALL she wanted to do

Britains 1 Year Photo Shoot...

2009-02-04T13:34:00.000-08:00

A friend took these adorable pictures of Britain. I just wanted some thing different than Kiddie Kandids. I think they turned out great. She was not very smiley but she captured some sweet little expressions.

Here are just a few of my favorites!!!!

Andersons Dairy Farm

2009-02-03T07:56:00.000-08:00

Last week for play group we went to Andersons Dairy Farm. It was so fun to watch all the kids walk the hallways and see how they make ice cream and milk. The best part about it was that everyone got to sample some yummy ice cream at the end.

Thanks for such a fun day Anjie!!!

Cute girlfriends!!

Kylie and Ethan

Listening to the Tour Guide

Brit LOVED the ice cream and was TICKED once it was gone.

Yummy ice cream.

Kylie was a little disappointed about these cows. She wanted to see the real thing.

No more Nursery

2009-02-03T07:34:00.000-08:00

So we have been out of town alot of January but 2 weeks we were home and Kylie went to Primary for the first time. Kylie was so excited to start in her new class at church. The morning of her first day she kept saying "I am going to Primary because I am big now... no more Nursery".. I thought for sure she was going to cry once it was time but she walked through the double doors and went right to her seat. I do have to say, it was a proud moment for me. During Sunday School I was out in the hallway with Britain so I went and peaked in on Kylie. Kylie looked so cute sitting in her chair singing songs. I will admit that it was a little emotional for me. I am looking forward to Mothers Day and Fathers Day even more this year. She is growing up so fast and I am so proud of her. She loves going to church and loves telling us all about it right after. She is such a good girl (most of the time) and we are lucky and feel blessed to have her in our family.

Busy busy busy.....

2009-01-25T14:53:00.000-08:00

We've had so much going this past week I thought I was going to go crazy. Britains birthday Tuesday and Mikes birthday Wednesday kept me busy making cakes, wrapping presents, cleaning, dishes and feeling sick from all the junk we ate. Well, yesterday was another one of those days. I hosted a baby shower at our home for a cute girl in our ward from 11am-1pm, then off to our nephew Camerons birthday party at Chuck e cheese from 1pm-3pm, back to our place for a quick nap and then off to our other nephew Parkers basketball game (FYI: Parkers team rocks.... They killed the other team 48 to 5. GO CELTICS!!!). So needless to say we have been keeping busy and having fun.

I am SO grateful for Sundays. It is nice to go to church and then just be with family for the rest of day and not have to worry about going anywhere.

It never gets easy....

2009-01-22T21:29:00.000-08:00

4 years ago today my father passed away from cancer. He was a fighter and fought until the very last breath. I would not wish this kind of death on anyone. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to watch but I am grateful to have been there by his side. I remember whispering in his ear that I loved him and that I was going to be OK and that my baby who was not born yet was waiting for him. I found out that I was pregnant the week before he pasted away, that made it so much harder. The more that my family grows and the older I get the more I miss him. I wish so bad that he could have know my little girls. I know that he would have adored them. He was a softy with his girls. If mom said no, dad would always give in. I wish that we could have watched one more football game together, had one more BBQ with him, have had one more quick weekend trip to the lake or cooked something late at night together. I miss watching him dance in the garage to mariachi music (even though he had now clue what they were saying), I miss his cut off shorts, tube socks and sweat bands. Believe it or not in high school he was named the best dressed (HA HA... Yeah right). We never believed him until my aunt showed us the news article. Could have fooled us dad!!! I miss him more today that ever. He was the dad that could do and make anything. If you could dream it up he could make it and make it out of anything.... wood, metal or cardboard. Love you chief!!!

The BIG 28 for Mike!!!!

2009-01-21T21:15:00.000-08:00

Let me just tell you how lucky I am to have this man as my husband. I know that many of you that read this have already heard the story,..... but since the day that I laid eyes on him I knew that he was the one for me. He walked into Institute fresh off his mission and I turned to my friend and said "OMG, I don't know who that guy is but I am going to marry him" we laughed for a second, but that is how it turned out. Now, I am not a person that believes in love at first site, but with Mike that is just what it was. I had dated a few serious guys before him but Mike was different. He truly was the "perfect guy". I some times thought it was to good to be true. I was smitten from day one(I know that sounds so pathetic, but its true). If you don't believe me just ask my mom or his mom. LOL!! I think they probably thought I was "crazy" at first. I thought I was too...

Happy birthday Mikey... Love you babe!!!

We had a fun low key evening with our little family for Mikes birthday. Went to Chili's for some ribs, came home to have cake and presents, put the kids to bed and then of course we watched the Lakers.

Happy Birthday Britain

2009-01-20T21:41:00.000-08:00

Its hard to believe that our little baby is one year old. She has been a joy in our lifes from day one. Brit loves to give hugs, love her blanket and binky, is a fabulous sleeper (I LOVE THAT), loves playing with Kylie, love love loves her daddy, loves talking on phones (well, she puts her hand to her ear and acts like she is talking, it is sooo cute) and she is a great eater and has a very sweet and loud personality. Not a day goes by that I don't thank my Heavenly Father for her.

Happy Birthday Brit Brit....

4. Being cold for 3 days straight.
5. A snow mobile breaking down, so we had to rent another one.
6. "Outhouse".. That's all I need to say....

All in all it was really fun. We had a rough start but it ended up being really fun.

Christmas 2008

2008-12-26T23:36:00.000-08:00

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. I love being home and just hanging out with family. We loved watching the kids open their presents and seeing the expression on their faces. Santa came and brought Kylie and Brit awesome presents, we ate yummy food (ALL DAY LONG), sang songs, laughed, ate some more and were in bed by 9pm. Thanks to Dave and Skye for having us over for dinner. The food was fabulous like always. It was a fun and relaxing day.

Kylie was so excited about her Kitchen from Santa

Britain and her shopping cart from Santa.

Kylie loved all her presents.

Daddy's favorite present that Brit got. LOL!! 120 pieces of food...

Christmas Eve and Good Friends

2008-12-26T23:06:00.000-08:00

We spent Christmas Eve with some of our totally awesome friends. Thanks Cassey and Tyrale for having us at your home. We had a great time eating, laughing, telling stories, playing games and painting toes.

We had such a great time we just might have to make it a tradition.

Quick picture before we headed out.

Kylie loves reading to Brit Brit.

Some of the yummy treats.

SNOW + VEGAS= FUN

2008-12-26T22:33:00.000-08:00

Last week it snowed here in Vegas and we had a blast playing in it. I took the kids out right when it started and they loved it. I know it might not look like alot but we got a couple inches by the end of the day. I know.. I know.. A couple inches is nothing, but hey.... for Vegas it was a lot. Kylie loved eating it and Brit loved to put her hand up in the air and try and touch it.

"Kitchen... I want a Kitchen Santa"

2008-12-16T22:09:00.000-08:00

We took the girls to see Santa this past weekend at Bass Pro Shop and we thought for sure it was going to be a disaster. But hey for a free picture with Santa we were going to attempt it. Well, to our surprise it was a great day. We only stood in line for 10 minutes and Kylie was very excited to tell him what she wanted for Christmas. Right when we walked up to him she said "Kitchen and paused".... "I want a Kitchen Santa"........ "Please". It was really cute. Brit on the other hand was not a happy little girl. She cryed and looked at him like he was an alien. Poor little girl, but she had to stick it out because if you know me you know that I wanted the pictures. LOL! We also got to decorate candy canes as reindeer, Mike and Kylie shot guns, we took a ga-zillion pictures and Mike and Kylie picked out quads that they wanted to take home (maybe next year guys). I love this time of the year. I love the lights, the yummy treats, the cold weather, being with family and of course most of all our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

We love Santa! Well some of us.

Shooting with daddy.

Making candy cane reindeer.

Kylie and her cute little friend Reagan.

Brit loved the reindeer.

Kylie could have watched them all day.

This was Mikes pick. "Yes, Please" were his exact words...

Kylie of course wanted the PINK quad.

Thanksgiving and too much food...........

2008-12-16T21:19:00.000-08:00

We had an awesome Thanksgiving with our family in California. We started off our Thanksgiving with Mikes mom and dad for a delicious breakfast. Hung out for a little while and then went and watched Mike play volleyball. We were then off to my sister Joetta's house for a yummy dinner. We had a terrific holiday weekend. Ate way to much food, Learned how to make a turkey, went to the movies (Twilight was awesome) and ended the weekend at the Staples Center to watch the Lakers.

Aunt JoJo and Brit caught with chocolate.... BIG TROUBLE!!!!!

The best Hosts!! Thanks Joetta and Dan for having us.

Kylie and her cute hair do.. Thanks Aunt Tiff

Brit Brit and Daddy. Aren't they so cute??

OUR NIGHT OUT IN L.A.!!!!!!!!!!

In front of the Staples Center

Rick Fox is right behind me. A little star struck...

Lakers won baby!!! Thanks Dan and Jo for the amazing tickets...

Trip to California ended in Wildfires....

2008-11-21T08:15:00.000-08:00

I went to California to spend some time with one of my good friends and do a little shopping with my mom. We went to the park, the zoo, watched the CMA's and ate lots of food. That weekend my mom and I went to the Swap Meet to do some SERIOUS Christmas shopping on Saturday. While at the swap meet we got a call from my little sister saying that the fire looked like it was getting close. We thought at first she might have been over reacting. So, we continued to shop for a few more things. About 20 minutes later we got another call from her again, this time crying say she was scared and the whole sky was black. As we rushed to our cars to get home we realized that we were going to have to take side streets home because the freeways were all closed due to the fires. I called my in-laws that live right up the street from my mom and they went and picked up my brothers and sisters and took them to a safe haven. Thanks again to them for all of their help. The closer we got the more crazy it was. We turned onto my moms street and looked up to see the house right across from my moms completely engulfed in flames. We rushed into the house grabbed a few things and were off to meet up with my brother and sister and my girls. It was like some thing out of a movie. People were running in to houses crying and yelling. It was pure craziness.

Two days later we returned to the house. It was still standing but had alot of smoke damage. We were all counting our blessings seeing how many people lost their homes. We want them all to know that we pray for them every day. Thanks to all the firefighter and police offices for all they did.

On a sad note: Many homes were lost and one of those homes was a very good friend of mine from high school. Her parents lost there beautiful home in Hidden Hills. Please pray for the Flake Family. They were all ok but EVERYTHING is gone.

Famlies are Forever

2008-11-09T20:33:00.000-08:00

This evening I went and payed respect to a very dear friend of mine and her family for the loss of their 17 day old little boy Rock. Ever since I heard the news, it has not seemed real. A flood of questions run through your mind. Why....Why so soon.. What could have been done to prevent such a tragedy? How wonderful it is to have the gospel in our life's and know that they will see their son again. How comforting it is to know that we are not alone in times like this. I am thankful for my husband and the temple covenants that we have made. I love my family and am grateful to have the knowledge that we can be together forever. I am thankful to be a Mother and feel blessed for all that I have. My heart is full of gratitude for my Saviour for all that he has done for me.

Our fun weekend with our visitors..

2008-11-09T17:08:00.000-08:00

This weekend we had our very good friends from California come and stay with us. We had such a great time and the kids loved playing together. We ate alot of junk, road on the four wheeler, played at the play ground, took some last minute family pictures (kinda missed the sun set but still got a couple cute ones), went out to eat a couple times, made bows and stayed up way to late.

We love having friends come and visit and are sad when they leave. Thanks to Brandon and Erin for making our weekend so fun.

Here are ALOT of pictures of us on the quad (sorry, could not choose). Dave, Skye and the boys met up with us on Saturday for a couple hours. The kids all had a blast on the quad and playing in the dirt.

2008-11-02T20:37:00.000-08:00

We had such a great Halloween. The night before Halloween me and the girls went to our ward Trunk or treat. Which was so much fun!!!! Kylie had a great time walking around the cake walk, going fishing and of course trick or treating. But we missed Mike ALOT because he was at school. On Halloween we went over to Kylie's cute little cousins house and took a couple pictures with them. It was kinda funny because the girls were actually really scared of the boys. But as you can see below they were three of the cutest monsters I have ever seen. Well, I mean COOLEST monsters. After a little while the girls stopped crying for us to take a couple quick pictures. We then took the girls out for a little while and got WAY to much candy. It was fun to watch Kylie go up to the doors and Britain had no problem just hanging out in her stroller sucking on lollipops.

Until next year.........

Very fancy tea party. So much fun....

Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-19T18:17:00.000-07:00

A cute little family in our ward had a pumpkin patch in thier backyard. I know.. I know... hard to believe that in Vegas a pumpkin patch can be done, let alone having a yard or a yard big enough for one. It was the perfect size and they even had cute crafts for the kids to do. Thanks Carlsons girls! You did a great job!

The girls had a great time. Kylie loved running around in the field and Britain loved watching her. Brit wanted to get down and play but we tortured the poor little baby because I refused to let her get dirty. Sorry Brit Brit!!! Next year!

All ready for the Pumpkin Patch

Say Cheese

Fun pumpkin patch

Cute little Britain

Kylie picked this one and was so happy about it (as you can see).

2008-10-09T10:05:00.000-07:00

I took the girls to a new park that just opened up and it was so much fun. Actually a bunch of us moms took our kids and they ALL had a great time. I really must say that we have the best play group in the world. We love hanging out with everyone.

Britain sat in a swing for the first time and as you can see LOVED IT.

I love this man...

2008-10-02T17:50:00.000-07:00

My handsome man!!(side note:I really miss my long hair)

I just wanted to tell my awesome husband that I love him and appreciate all he does. I know that I don't tell him enough and I know I probably complain a little. Ok, maybe I complain ALOT!!!! I just love being with him and the girls and I don't like anything to get in the way of our time together. (I know I am pretty pathetic, but that is the truth). He is crazy busy at work, goes to school and has to deal with not one, not two, but three very demanding woman in his life. He never complains and is always willing to help from the moment he walks in the door. I am so lucky to have such a patient and loving husband. Not to mention one of the most handsome/HOT men in the world. I AM ONE LUCKY GIRL! Some times I don't know what I did to desire such a great guy. Thanks for all you do babe!!

Even with a mohawk he is soooo hot.....

Friendship

2008-09-27T18:24:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to let my friend Erin know how much I appreciate her friendship. Erin is one of my best friends from California. We actually became friends through our husbands and I have loved her ever since I met her. She is a great wife, amazing mother and one of my best friends. Not to mention one of the most beautiful women I have ever met inside and out.

She for some reason always knows when to call when I need someone to talk to. You know those days when you are feeling sorry for yourself and are just DONE with everything and everyone? Well, you might not have them but I get them. Anyways, I miss living close to her. Our oldest kids, Kylie and Noah have a cute little crush on each other. We love getting them together. They even think they are going to marry each other (if we had it our way at least). It is so cute to watch them play and listen to all the funny things they say to each other.

This was their last conversation, not prompted:

Noah:" You are pretty Kylie and I am Handsome".
Kylie; " Yeah.. I know... Thanks Noah"
Noah: "You are my girl friend Kylie".
Kylie: "Yeah...hehehehe....Noah I am going to marry you in the Temple"

Thanks Erin for being such a great friend.....

Kylies birthday celebrations cont...

2008-09-17T14:57:00.001-07:00

We have been celebrating Kylies birthday since this past Saturday. We had party for Kylie at the party with her friends and some a few family members. Thanks to everyone who came. It was alot of fun.... Kylie had a great time running around with everyone. She was a little shy when everyone sang happy birthday to her because she said she did not want everyone looking at her.

Today we woke up and Kylie was ready to celebrate. We went to story time at Town Square mall with some friends, had a picnic lunch and then played in the water shooters. Then we went home had a great nap and when Mike came home we got ready and Mike took us all out for a nice sushi dinner. We were going to go to Chuck E Cheese but Kylie did not really seem to care so we decided where we wanted to go. It was a great day and Kylie had a wonderful birthday. Thanks to everyone for all your phone calls and birthday wishes. She is one lucky little girl to have such great friends and wonderful people in her life.

Kylies the big # 3!!!!

2008-09-17T14:05:00.000-07:00

Three years ago today my life changed forever and I truely understood my purpose on this earth. I love being a mother and feel so blessed to have Kylie as my daughter. It is hard to believe that our little girl is three years old. Where does the time go? She is growing up SOOOOOO fast. She loves lipstick, playing dress up, playing with my hair, watching movies and the Disney Channel, going to the park and loves to drag her little sister around the house(Britain has two mommies). Happy birthday Kylie Ann. I hope you have a great birthday. I love you more than words could ever express. Your daddy and I are so lucky to have you in our family. You are a great daughter and a terrific big sister to Britain.

I LOVE Bunko

2008-09-14T19:13:00.001-07:00

Bunko was at my place this month and it was a blast. Thanks ladies for coming and making yet another month of bunko so much fun.

Kylie started Preschool....

2008-09-08T15:40:00.000-07:00

Today was official Kylie's first day of Pre-School and she did AWESOME. Not one tear was shed as she walked in with her backpack on and her eyes wide open. I thought for sure we would both be an emotional disaster. But it was a success and she cant wait to go back.

After I picked her up she was so excited to call her Daddy and tell him all about her first day of school and how much she loves school and her teacher.

We are so proud of you Kylie!!!!!

All ready to go to school.

She is growing up way to fast....

She LOVES her princess backpack

She did such a great job....

Great Friends

2008-09-06T07:37:00.000-07:00

Labor Day Weekend

2008-09-05T10:57:00.000-07:00

We spent our long holiday weekend in Utah this year. We went up to attend the blessing of our adorable nephew Brock. It was a wonderful day and Mark did a great job blessing his son. Brock is the cutest little guy ever and one of the most mellow and sweetest babies. Thanks again Mark and D for letting us stay with you and sharing in your special day.

We also got to do some other fun things. We went to Boondocks Family Fun Center with all 10 of the cousins. It was pure craziness but the kids had a great time. While we were up in Utah we also got a chance to visit with Britain and Kylie's Great Grandmas. It was fun to see the kids with them and take a couple pics. I also attempted to learn how to make bows and when I say attempted that is what I mean. I CAN NOT make bows. But that is ok because I have some amazing sister-in-law that can. Thanks again Tiff for having me over and making Kylie and Britains some bows. Thanks to Skye too for whiping so many out. And of course I did way to much shopping, but I just could not resist all the sales and holiday decorations.

My birthday landed on Labor Day this year so we were able to celebrate it with Mikes family. Danielles Dad wanted to take us all out for a birthday breakfast at IHOP. Bill, Danielles dad made it extra special by standing up and announcing that it was my birthday and the WHOLE entire place sang to me. The best part about it was that during the announcement he told everyone that I have two kids and my husband left me that morning. LOL!!! He meant to say that my husband went golfing with his brothers but it just came out wrong or it probably didn't if you know Bill. Thanks again Bill and Diane for a wonderful start to my birthday. Later that day we met up with the rest of the family for lunch and then my sister-in-law Tiffany and I were off for a few hours of shopping. Thanks Tiff for driving me around town and taking me to all the cute stores. Later that night we went back to Jon and Tiffs for a delicious dinner and amazing dessert. I ended my birthday in front of the tube to watch my two boyfriends in action... Prison Break did not disappoint. Thanks to everyone for making my day so memorable.

We had a great weekend as you can see.

Lake Mead

2008-08-24T21:24:00.000-07:00

Great friends, yummy treats, perfect weather, amazing water and wake surfing. What more could you ask for as summer is coming to an end. This was our fun filled day on Saturday. We got on the water at 9:30 in the morning and did not get off the boat until 8 oclock at night. The kids were troopers. Britain took 3 naps on the boat and Kylie took one. We ended the night back at the Wallace's lake house to eat an amazing dinner, from burgers and steak to corn on the cob and a delicious red pepper and feta cheese dip. Thank you to Skyler and Elise for the great time.

Soaking up the sun...

Happy to run around for a little while.

Our chill little lake baby.

Our Bathing Beauties

Kylie and Britain love taking baths. Britain love to watch Kylie play and Kylie loves to help wash Brit's hair and give her toys to play with.

Growing up so fast

2008-08-03T21:56:00.000-07:00

Our little Britain is growing so fast. She has been crawling everywhere for about two weeks. She is a very sweet and busy baby. I think she might be sick of Kylie dragging her around everywhere, so she is just trying to get away from her. LOL! She has also just started eating some solids. Gerbers bitter biscuits have been a huge hit. We love you Britain, but seriously stop growing so stinking fast.

Do you think she likes it?

Messy messy messy..

Our little crawler ( I would post a video but I am still figuring out how to do that)

Memories...

2008-07-27T15:40:00.000-07:00

MEMORY TAG!!!

This sounds fun, so I am going to give it a go.

1. Add a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you (as soon as my daughter lets me). I can't wait to see what people remember.

I tag anyone!!!

Our little Mermaid

2008-07-21T14:31:00.001-07:00

Kylie was very timid when the summer started to even go into the water and now she loves it. This is the latest thing she has been doing. She loves going under the water!!! We have a waterproof camera so we thought we would take a picture and this is how it turned out.

So Sweet....

2008-07-15T22:54:00.000-07:00

This is what I found the other day after I checked on the girls during their nap. It was probably one of the cutest things I have ever seen. I love my girls and love how they already play together. Kylie is a great big sister and love love loves her little sister.

Happy Birthday Mom

2008-07-14T09:45:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we made a last minute trip to California to surprise my mom for her birthday. We called her on Friday morning to wish her a happy birthday and she told us that all she wanted for her birthday was to see us. Little did she know we were on our way to her house. So needless to say she was so shocked to see us walk into her house. Kylie walked in with a big balloon and flowers and said "Happy Birthday Grams". She did a double take because she thought she was seeing things. My mom is an amazing person. She has a heart the size of the universe and would do anything for anybody. She has always been there for me when ever I needed her and even when I didn't she is still always there(you know... just in case... as she likes to put it). She has always been very strict with her kids and always wanted the best for us. My mom is the kinda mom that tells you exactly like it is and if you don't like it well that is just to bad. She turned the beautiful age of 66 this year. She would probably kill me for telling the whole world that, but I think she looks great. She has made me the woman that I am today. I hope that I am making her proud. I appreciate her more today than I ever have. I love you mom!!!!

Red nail polish.. REALLY????

2008-07-10T13:48:00.000-07:00

Kylie loves painting her nails. She kept saying.. "WOW... Pretty mom".

Showing off her hands and feet.

Kylie wanted mine painted too. LOL!!! And of course we had to take a picture of our toes.

Bunco Bunco Bunco.....

2008-07-09T13:02:00.000-07:00

Last night I played Bunco for the second time with some AWESOME girls in my ward. I had a blast!!! Of course who wouldn't have fun with yummy Fondue, great friends and few games of Bunco. I seriously don't think I could have fit anymore food in my stomach. The night was rocking and I even walked away with a gift card to Tropical Smoothie. WOOHOO!!!! Thanks for the good time ladies..

Anji and I could not stop eating the Cheese and Bread.....

Yummy Fondue......

Emily was loving it too. LOL!! Love ya Em...

Our Fun 4th!!!

2008-07-05T20:38:00.000-07:00

We had a GREAT 4th of July. We woke up early and went to our ward breakfast and Kylie was in a little parade. She rode her bike and really thought that she was hot stuff. She cracks us up!!!! After that we hung out for a while and then we were off to Dave and Skyes house for a yummy BBQ. We did fireworks that night and for the second year in a row Kylie wasn't feeling it, Surprise... Surprise... All day she was talking about how excited she was to do fireworks, and when it came time to do them she did not want any part of it. Every once in a while she would peak her head around the corner and say "MOM...MOM... I like them. I am happy now". She was trying so hard to enjoy them. LOL!!! Britain was indifferent. She only seemed to like the big ones that were far off in the distance. Kylie and Britain looked so cute in their 4th of July outfits and were both such good girls, considering Kylie had no nap and Britain only had one nap. Mike and I had a great time with all our friends and family, but were ready to pass out by the end of our LONG day.

There is nothing like good friends/family, good food and fireworks.

Hope everyone had a great 4th.....

BEST SISTERS!!!!!!!!!

2008-07-03T23:47:00.000-07:00

We love our little girls. Having two girls has been a blast. Every day gets better and better. Britain is growing up so fast. She loves to role around to what ever she wants to get her little hands on and today she started doing the army crawl. She loves to smile and scream (she probably thinks that she is talking but I have news for her IT'S NOT...). We love our little Britain. Kylie loves to play with Britain even when poor Brit doesn't want too. Brit Brit is a really good sport. She just lets Kylie drag her around and play mommy. Kylie is my biggest helper. She likes to help get diapers and love to pick out Britains clothes. Kylie can make Britain laugh and cry all at the same time. Kylie some times thinks that she runs our home. Well, not some times ALL the time. She says the funniest things... She love to mimic every thing we do and say. So, uh.... we really have to watch what we say. It is so fun to watch the two of them together and I know it is only going to get better. We love our girls and feel so blessed.

SERIOUSLY!!!!!

2008-07-02T00:02:00.000-07:00

This is the Lords way of punishing me for eating ice cream at 10:00 o'clock at night. I think he was trying to tell me to put the ice cream down. I dont know what do you think???? I mean come on, why isn't the last of the baby weight falling off. DUH!!!! Maybe ice cream at 10 o'clock at night!!!!

And of course Mike was ready to pee his pants and just had to take the picture...

So for your viewing pleasure.... Please see below.....

Daddy time.....

2008-06-24T12:55:00.000-07:00

Mike came home the other day and Kylie was in much need of some "daddy time". They had such a great time baking a cake. Kylie was a great help and loved licking the spoon and bowl. She kept telling me to take pictures. LOL!! I dont know were she gets that from!!! Mike is such a great dad to our girls. Even after his long days he loves to come home and spend time with the girls and play with them. It really gives me a little break too. Thanks babe for all you do..... Aren't they sooo cute in there aprons???? The apron that Mike is wearing was made by Kylie and Britain for Fathers Day!!!!

Happy Birthday Dad

2008-06-18T16:39:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my dad who would have turned 64 years old today. He pasted away 3 1/2 years ago for lung cancer. He was a fighter and fought until the last second with all of his kids and my mom surrounding his bed side. It was a painful death and I would not wish that on anyone. My dads name was Joseph Paul Rivera and he was one of the hardest working men that I have ever met. He could fix and build anything. He loved his kids (All 13 of us) with all of his heart and worked hard to make sure that we had everything we needed. Some fun memories that I have of my dad is him coming to my track meets at school and yelling "run like the wind". He was my biggest fan!!! He also loved to bring us into the garage and have us do push-ups even when we did not want to but he always rewarded us with money. He loved my mom and loved to give her a hard time about everything. He was very strict with us and no guy was good enough for any of his girls. Well, that was until I met Mike. He liked Mike from the very start. I think that my parents secretly like Mike better than me.LOL! I will never forget dancing with him on my wedding day and him telling me how proud he was of me. It makes me sad some times knowing that he is not hear to see Kylie and Britain grow up. I know that he would have loved them and spoiled then rotten. But, it is comforting to know that they will meet in the next life.

Happy Birthday Dad/Papa Joe...

Alleman Family Vacation 08

2008-06-17T09:09:00.000-07:00

We just got back from our little vacation in California. We had a great time and did so much in just four days. We started off the fun at Lamppost Pizza to watch to Laker Game with everyone. Well, that did not end on a good note, seeing that they lost. But we still had a good time because "we were all together". The next day we went to the beach all day and then later that night went to the Angels game. We were a little late and Britain pretty much cried to whole time and once again another upsetting lose. But we managed to make it through the whole game and even stay for the fireworks. On Saturday we went to Kylie's little friend Noah's birthday party. Kylie had a great time playing with Noah and eating cake. So glad that we were able to go and see the Allan's and celebrate Noah's 3rd birthday. Later that day we went to the park and had a barbeque. We had fun playing baseball and enjoying the outdoors. The kids had a great time running around and playing on the playground. Sunday we went to church and after sacrament we went back to Mikes parents home and had a yummy lunch. It was a great weekend. Thanks to everyone for making it such a fun weekend. Love you all........

Happy Fathers Day Mike....

2008-06-17T06:45:00.000-07:00

Summer is here and we are starting to really enjoy the pool. Kylie has been cracking us up lately with her cheesy poses. Funny thing is, she totally poses like I do. Pop the knee and lean. LOL!!! We could not stop laughing. She is so stinking cute.

Our little Britain loves to sit in her floaty and just hang out. She is such a sweet little girl.

We love our little water babies.....

Brit got her ears pierced...

2008-05-26T13:34:00.000-07:00

We took Britain last week and pierced her ears at Claire's at the Las Vegas Outlets. It was quite the experience!!!! Kylie was so excited for Britain to get her ears pierced just like hers. Kylie was a little worried about Britain once she saw the gun. She was not happy that they were going to make her sad. It was kinda cute. Britain was all smiles, until we had to hold her down to make the dots on her ears. It was all down hill from there. As you can see in the pictures I am holding her and she is all smiles. Once she started to get upset I could not do it anymore. After they were done with the piercing she was fine. I mean the second that they were done she was totally fine. I think the reason she got so upset was because Mike was holding her head back. Poor baby... but man o man does she look so cute. Thanks Britain for enduring that pain.

She looks so girly with her earrings now. Love this little face.

4am feeding and smoke alarms..... YIKES!!

2008-05-21T17:08:00.000-07:00

Ok... I was not going to blog about this because its embarrassing, but Mike said that I had to. So, Britain woke on at 4am this past Monday and I did the normal routine. I walked into her room, put her binky in her mouth, then went into the kitchen to warm a bottle on the stove. I then went and sat down on the couch for a few minutes while the bottle warmed. I awakened to smoke every where and the smoke alarms going off. I ran into the kitchen to find A LOT of smoke and a pot and bottle black and burnt to a crisp. Right after I entered the kitchen out ran Mike from the bed room to find everything up in smoke. The kids are crying, smoke alarms going off and I am freaking out because it is so loud. I felt so bad about what happened. I mean what kind of mom would let that happen. Mike kept telling me that it could have been much worse............ I know... I know.... But COME ON what kind of a mom am I? !!GRRR!!!! I am just so mad at myself.

So, we finally got the kids back down to sleep at about 5am and tried all day on Monday to air out the apartment. It still has a funny stall smell to it, but like Mike said before it could have been much worse. Mike just kept shacking his head at me. I know what he was thinking.. "My wife is such a dork, maybe I shouldn't leave my kids home alone with her". Well, maybe not that.. But I am sure he was thinking something. I really am sorry babe!! That will never happen again...... Thank goodness for smoke alarms.

Our fun weekend....

2008-05-19T11:25:00.001-07:00

Good times with good friends

We started off our weekend at Kylie's friend Leah's birthday party. Kylie had a great time "watching" all the kids dance and eating yummy pizza and cupcakes. We were then off to our nephew Parkers baseball game. We love to go to our cute nephews baseball games. Parker did a great job catching and playing out field. He is a stud out on the field. Kylie loves to watch her cousins and yell "Go Parker" and "Go Cameron" some times she gets sports mixed up and yells "Go Kobe" or "Go Lakers". LOL!!!! Can you tell the Lakers are in the middle of playoffs?? LOL!! Kylie and her daddy dont ever miss a Lakers game. After Parkers baseball game we went back to Dave and Skyes house to swim. It was such a hot day and we were all looking forward to swimming. Kylie and Britain had a blast!! It helped that the water felt like the bath. Kylie was a little timid at first, but after watching her cousin Bryce jump in a few times she was right there with him. Well, with the help from mom and dad. Girls are so funny!!!! Britain loved to sit in her floaty and kick her feet. It was such a fun day... We ended our weekend with a relaxing Sunday. We went to church and then just relaxed the rest of the day. It was a VERY fun and HOT weekend.

At the Baseball Park... Good Times.....

Mikes world is run by us ladies

Mike is in every way a "Ladies Man"

Mothers Day Weekend!!!

2008-05-13T10:15:00.001-07:00

I had a GREAT Mothers Day!!! We spent Mothers Day weekend in California with family and friends. We drove down to Cali. on Friday evening. We arrived to my Moms home at about 10pm the girls were ready to play. LOL!! We did not get to bed until after 12am (Word of advise... Dont leave around bed time, because when you get to your desitination the kids have taken a long "nap" and then they are raring to go!!!!) We woke up on Saturday and Mike took me to get a manicure, pedicure and my eyebrows waxed for Mothers Day. The most exciting part about it was that Mike and the girls went with me. Mike is such a great husband. I think when we left he was a little high off the fumes. LOL!!! Poor guy, but he was a great sport and did not complain once. Thanks Babe!!! We were then off to my nieces 1st birthday party. We had a blast spending time with family and celebrating Alyssa's birthday. Later that night we went and spent a little time with Mikes mom and dad and let Kylie play with Grandma and Grandpa. The next morning we got up and got ready for church, let me just say it is soooo hard to be at church at 9am and when you are on vacation it is even harder. But I was pretty impressed that we arrived to church right on time. Church was wonderful and the speakers all gave a wonderful tribute to Mothers. It was so fun to see everyone from our home ward in Cali. We miss them all very very much. Thanks to everyone for making us feel like we never left. I had such a terrific Mothers Day. I am grateful to be a Mother to Kylie and Britain and feel very blessed to have such healthy and beautiful children. Love you Kylie and Brit!!! Thanks Mike for making me feel like such a great mom. You are the BEST Father and Husband.

I know that my mom will not read this but I want her to know how much I love her and respect her. She has one of the biggest hearts and would do anything for anyone. She is not only my mother, a great Grams but one of my best friends. She has done so much for our little family. I will forever be grateful to her for all she has done and continues to do. Love you mom....

I hope that all the Mothers that read this had a wonderful Mothers Day. You are all inspirational to me and I am grateful to you for that. Thank you for your example.

Happy Mothers Day!!!!!

Kylie would have been in this picture but she was having a little melt down... :)

Yummy baby food....

2008-05-05T17:07:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we started feeding Britain rice cereal and baby food. She LOVES it all!! Our little Brit Brit is such a good baby. She loves to smile and love love loves to suck on her fingers. She has been trying to raise her head up and loves to sit on our lap and just look at everything. She is a very alert and attentive baby. Whenever we try and lay her down to play she wants nothing to do with it. Britain loves to watch her big sister Kylie play and Kylie lovse to make faces to try and make Britain smile. We are having a blast with our two girls. They keep us very busy and make every day fun, interesting and exhausting.

"I love it...... Give me more"....

Valley of Fire

2008-04-27T20:02:00.000-07:00

This weekend we went camping in the Valley of Fire with our friends Ben and Dawn and their cute girls. We had the best time!!!! Kylie and Baylie had an awesome time playing together and Britain and Meg were great babies. We packed so much into our quick little trip. We got to the camp site around 6pm on Friday and there were no camp sites open. We were getting a little worried, so Ben asked a ranger what we could do and she said that if there were no regular camp sites left than we could stay in the Handicap spot. We all thought this was kinda funny because we were feeling a little handicap with 4 kids under the age of 3. LOL!!! This was the first time we had been camping since I was pregnant with Kylie, we couldn't believe it had been that long. We set up camp and then Ben and Dawn made a yummy dinner, we had a fire and made smores with stripped shortbread cookies(Thanks to Ben and Dawn for those too). They were soooo good!!! Kylie and Baylie had a great time watching a movie, eating smores and looking at the stars. At on point Kylie pointed to the sky with both arms streched out and said, "Aw, So Cute". After a rough nights rest we were up bright and early(5am early), had breakfast and hung out for a little while. We were then off for a very fun day. We first did some climbing on the rocks near our camp. The kids had fun going into the little holes and caves, they also had fun chasing the lizards. We then went and looked at some petroglyphs. Next on the list of things to do was the visitor center, and elephant rock. The visitor center was pretty cool but elephant rock was a bit of a bust. We then went back to camp and had lunch, finished packing up camp and got on the road. We had such a good time and can't wait to do it again!

No more diapers for Kylie

2008-04-27T16:36:00.000-07:00

WOOHOOO!!! Kylie is potty trained... For the past two weeks we have been working with Kylie on potty training. It has been going pretty well. Right out of the gate Kylie was excited to go pee-pee on the potty but a little nervous to poo-poo on the potty. Well, the first week we had a about one to two accidents a day. We just stayed at home and tryed our best to stay patient and positive. LOL!!! Potty training can really test ones patients. It will be two full weeks tomorrow and we are happy to say that Kylie is fully potty trained. We have not had an accident in 4 days. This past weekend we went camping and we just thought for sure Kylie would have an accident, but she didn't. She told us every time she had to go. We are so proud of our little Kylie or should I say our Big Girl. She loves to pick out what panties she is going to wear each day. Oh yeah, and she loves to show people her panites too. We are working on that....

California Trip

2008-04-22T23:42:00.000-07:00

Well, it has taking me a while to post about our trip. I have been busy potty training (I will post about that later!! LOL) ever since I returned from our vacation to California. It seems funny to say that we vacation in California. LOL!!! Our trip to Cali. was a blast! It was two weeks filled with fun, laughter, long days and a few melt downs along the way. Kylie, Britain and I had so much fun spending time with our families and some of our good friends. The first night we were there we were able to celebrate Grandpa Allemans birthday with him. Kylie loved the chocolate cake and singing Happy Birthday to him. We even went back another day and Kylie and Grandma made Rice Crispy treats. Kylie really enjoyed that and I did too because I was able to take a long hot shower with out any interruptions LOL!! The girls and I went to Disneyland THREE times (crazy I know, but Kylie had a blast). I took my little Britain on everything from the Carousal ride, Dumbo, Small World, The Tiki Room, The Jungle Cruise and yes even Pirates. She was a trooper!!! What other 2 1/2 month old baby will be able to say that they went to Disneyland 3 times before they were 3 months old. LOL!!! The best ride that I took Kylie on was the Mater Horn. She had no idea what she was getting herself into, but hey I wanted to go on a good ride too and she was tall enough so we were going on. LOL! Lets just say it was not her favorite. Needless to say our next two visits to Disneyland she made sure to tell me that she was not going on the "Big Mountain Ride". LOL!!! We also went to The San Diego Zoo (Thanks to my sister Starlene, who decided she did not want to go and gave her tickets to our family). We also got to spend a little time with our good friends Erin Allan and her kiddos, Jenny Dalton and her kiddos and we went to an Angels game with Elise. The kids all had a great time playing and it was fun to catch up with my girl friends. Mike finally came into town at the end of the trip to go to a Lakers game with his brother Dave and our good friend Justin. They had such a great time. But who wouldn't with tickets that are 8 rows from the floor. Thanks again Justin. The day after the Laker game Mike played volleyball with some friends. We ended our two week vacation with our good friends Skyler and Elise. We saw there awesome new house and then went out to dinner with them and our other friends Kenny and Jill. We went to our favorite place, Stone Fire Grill... Yummy.. We miss that place. Our two weeks was over and We were all ready to go home. The girls and I missed Mike so much and were so happy to travel home together. Well, I was so that I wouldn't have to drive. LOL!! Thanks to everyone for making our trip so much fun.

Easter 2008

2008-03-24T10:58:00.000-07:00

We started off the holiday weekend at our ward Easter luncheon and easter egg hunt. Kylie had a blast hunting for eggs and eating all the candy that was inside of them. Later that night we colored easter eggs. Kylies favorite part was writing all over the eggs before we put them in the cups. Sunday morning we went to church and right after church we had a easter egg hunt. Kylie was soooo excited to come home and hunt for eggs. After Kylie found all the eggs she wanted to hide them and then we ALL got to hunt. LOL That night we went to Dave and Skye's house for dinner. Skye made an amazing dinner and then we took pictures of Britain in a cute decorated basket. Britain was all smiles... Thanks to Aunt Skye for that cute set up. She is always thinking of cute ways to take pictures... We had a great Easter and the girls were so cute......

Yummy Chicken Wings.....

2008-03-22T01:45:00.000-07:00

We like to go to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Laker Games when we dont get the games on our TV. It is a fun restaurant/sports bar and the wings are great. Well, the last couple times we have gone Kylie has insisted on wings for herself. She doesn't want corn dogs or chicken nuggets, she wants chicken wings like every one else. She loves them and loves to make a mess with them too. So, now were ever we go to eat she always says she wants chicken wings. She cracks us up!!!
