Plans for Camping!

So we are starting to get plans going for this years camping trip! We are thinking of going to New Brighton State Beach over our birthdays...Sept. 4-7th!
I think I speak for everyone when I say our last camping trip to Yosemite was a blast and we look forward to this one too! Let me know if you are interested in going...we have to have a final head count and call first thing on March 1st to make our reservations!!!

Thank You!

Just wanted to send out a HUGE Thank You to everyone that has helped us with this move and with our new house. Whether big or small, anything has been a tremendous help to us. It certainly can be a challenge moving and remodeling not only when you're living in the house but with 3 young kids!! It wouldnt be possible without all of your help and Zach and I truly appreciate it!


Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6 Months!!

Well I am a little late because we STILL have no internet but our baby girl turned 6 months on December 30th!! I don't know where the time has gone but we have loved every minute of her little life! Ireland is such a sweetie pie! She has rolled over once, is loving her baby food..I cant seem to get it in her mouth as fast as she would like me to,haha! She is always smiling and loves to be in her walker. She is grabbing everything and the other night Zach and I were watching Sweeney Todd after the kids were in bed and she was arching her back so far to listen to them sing. She is fascinated by music!

She's still not sleeping through the night but I just try to remember that this will only last a short while in the scheme of things and that I will one day miss this when I look back! Happy 6 mo. bday Ireland Kate! We love you so much and couldn't imagine our lives without you in it!

S-I-L-E-N-C-E!!!

A rare and amazing thing. I sit here in silence for the first time in a llooooong time! Kids are all in bed, Zachs even in bed which is rare but yes he is starting to get sick..again!! I am borrowing my moms computer for the evening. She was so kind to lend it to me...okay, I BEGGED to keep it for the night. We have been in our new house for 10 days now without any and I mean any TV, Internet or Phone!!! I know I know it sounds crazy but believe me we have tried! Comcast swears it will be done this week but Im not holding my breath. When we first moved in they came out and told us our line from the street was cut so that is whats having to be repaired. So soon folks I will be back to my regular blogging. Also, we have been taking pics. of our home before and during the remodeling and soon the after pics as well. It has really come a long way and I cant wait to share them with you.

Riley, Trevor and Ireland are all doing great...busier than ever! Riley had her 1st day back to preschool today and it was one of my days to work in the classroom. It was actually fun and a break for me....I know being in a classroom full of 20 kids running around shouting is a break? But I have been so overwhelmed and such a homebody since we moved in that this was a nice treat to be out and about. Trevor is learning to sleep in his big boy bed in his own room...a challenge in itself! But were sticking to it and are confident he will eventually lay right down and fall fast asleep..haha!!! Fingers crossed! Our baby girl turned 6 months on Dec. 30th! Time flies.....I can't believe it. She is such a happy love bug, always smiling and is thoroughly enjoying her first tastes of baby food!

Hope everyone is doing well...I see my youngest starting to squirm so I know the silence is about to come to an end..its time for her last warm bottle and diaper change and off to bed!

New Years Eve!

Happy New Year!!! Its 2009!

For Christmas, Zach got me tickets to see Stomp at the Community Center Theater in Downtown Sacramento. What a blast....we didnt know what to expect when we got there but we got all dressed up and headed in. The show was 1 hr 45 mins. It was so much fun....we highly recommend you seeing it!

Then afterward we stopped by Crystal and Steves house and we were going to stay just a little while and go pick up the kids but we called and they were fast asleep at Gramma and Papas so we decided they could just spend the night. We watched the countdown and kissed at midnight!

2008 was an adventurous year....Zach started working at Better Homes Realty which he loves. We welcomed our precious Ireland Kate into our family in June and just bought a new house that we absolutely love. We hope 2009 brings even more fun and adventure for us!
