Our baby girl turns ONE

Happy Birthday Adriana Isabella.


I can not believe it has been a whole year since our baby girl was born. It feels like it was just yesterday. She is amazing! She is so smart. She started taking her first steps early last month and started walking about a week and a half later. Now she just speed walks everywhere lol. Everyone at Austin's baseball games and pratices got to see it happen (all the parents). She says so many words now. It's almost like I blinked and she was not a baby anymore :(


Anyways, My MIL decided to take us all to the Gilroy Gardens for Adriana's birthday. It was very hot but we all had alot of fun. The boys rode on a bunch of rides and they now have this water area there that we all played in for a while. I took a ton of pictures of course :) Adriana got to have her very first "milk" based icecream. It was so cute, she was pretty good with it, she only really got messy on her face lol.


When we got home, we went to visit with MIL's parents. A bunch of my inlaws were there. Everyone has started calling Adriana Isabella "Bella" it's what MIL's Grandma was called. It was a nice visit. Adriana got some really nice clothes from her great grandparents. We headed back over to Mil's where we had a nice dinner with everyone and cake afterwords. It was a great day.


Here are some pictures from the day :)

These next pictures look kinda bad, they were taken at night in low lighting and I could not get them to look right in photoshop lol...

Okay I better get to bed. Night

A surprise...

I woke up this morning made some coffee, started in on my housework and was just sitting down at the computer when Dustin came into the office to tell me I had to get up and get ready that he had a surprise for me. Soooo a couple hours later LOL, we were all in the car and on our way to this surprise. So we pull up at Target LOL and I am thinking hmmmmm my surprise is Target? Then I start seeing all these people and parking was NUTS! So I start wondering what the heck is going on at Target lol, is it a famous person? What?!? Well we start walking out of the parking lot and up the street, I start to see tents and think hmmm "Farmers Market?" But them Dustin says..."Surprise" it's the Arts and wine festival. We use to go to these before we had kids with my folks. I loved getting the handmade jewelry and all the people and of course the food :)


It was pretty darn hot out there. We saw so many awesome things. Since I am not a drinker Dustin got himself a berr glass and tried the different beers they had there. I got so many ideas for neat crafty gifts for people. They even had some cool stuff for the kids. All three kiddos had their faces painted, we had Adri get her's done while she was sleeping. Austin got a spider on his cheek, Aidan got ballons on his arm and Adri got a butterfly on her cheek. We went way down the street and through alot of the tents at the festival and then came upon all the food tents. It was such a strong yummy smell of a mix of foods. We went through all the tents before we picked what we wanted. The boys got hot dogs and Dustin and I got some yummy teriyaki chicken rice bowls. The boys also got some conecups of fresh cherries. We had a great time and we were all a bit sad to have it end so early.

We had to be back by 2:30pm to go to Austin's baseball game. So we headed home so Austin could change into his baseball stuff, went to 711 for some slurpees and headed to the game. Kate (SIL) was there and we sat together talking about books and movies lol. It was fun. After the game, the boys went with MIL to her house and Dustin and I went to the mall (Valley Fair)to get Adriana's ears pierced for her birthday. It was her gift from her daddy. She did so well. She only cried for a second and then was fine. They look so good on her. I went to old navy and got her a couple sets of clothes for her birthday tomorrow. So all and all it was a pretty busy day and I am so tired! lol.

Here are some pictures...

TTYS :)

One month ago today (eyeroll) lol

I started this book....

I just finished it today. I have not had much time to read at all this last month, so this book went with me everywhere so I would sneek in time here and there. I was so into it and when I could not read it, I found myself thinking about it so much lol. I LOVED it so much! I was honestly heartbroken that it ended. I fell in love with everyone of the characters in this book....yes even Kyle LOL. I want to read more, to know what else happens to all the humans/aliens who are in the cave, I want more stories from Wanda, I read a few reviews about how alot of people ended up not liking Melanie, I disagree, I love her too. This was am amazing book and I truly hope Stephenie adds more to the story!

If you have not read it, go out and get yourself a copy! You will love it! I can't wait to read it again!

Fun times at Austin's Baseball game

We had a baseball game tonight, it's actually the 3rd to the last game of the season. Then Baseball season is over and we plan to sign the boys up for Soccer this coming weekend, so that will be going on at the end of Aug. all the way through November. Austin has made so many friends on his team and alot of them go to his school, so that is nice. We have so much going on the next two weeks. Lots of school stuff, Adri's first brithday and Dr's appointment, more baseball, field trips etc.



Anyways here are some pictures I took tonight at the game, I got some of everyone :) Oh and some of Adri walking, which she has been doing for a while. She started walking on May 12th.
