Papa's Birthday




We were sooooo excited for Mom and Dad to come for a visit! As soon as Dad got here we shuffled him into the car with Jason and Ross to go shooting out in the desert! What a blast, Ross finally has someone to talk guns with besides Jason and myself....which I hardly know NOTHING about. Then on Dad's birthday we woke up and went down to the Pawn Shop to meet Chumlee. We got in right away, no line haha. But there was no one from the show there. We asked where Chumlee was and got the generic answer....."I haven't seen him lately". They must get sick of people asking that. Five minutes after we were told to get out of the shop because they had to film a clip of the show and it would take 30 minutes. We went outside and got in line so we could maybe see Chum after they were done filming. Well, when we finally got back in, only the Grandfather was there taking pics with people. We got up close to him and then they shuffled him out to the back of the store....meaning no more pics! KAKA! Oh well, it was fun anyways. Cool place to visit. Lots of cool things in their shop. Then I took the parents down to old Freemont street and made them eat fried Twinkies and fried Oreos. They loved it. Might have gained a few pounds, but well worth it. Also wanted to throw in a picture of Jasmine and her competition cheer squad since they won first place in their division for the best dance/cheer. Wish you guys could have seen her, it was so great!

Oh, what a sweet girl I have!!!!
Darius on his 4th grade field trip. We visited one of the missions.
Jarom and Eli after one of their basketball games. Fun, but definitely not one of Eli's strengths! We'll stick with piano.
Charlise on her first day of her new preschool. She LOVES it! She feels like such a big girl going to her brother's school now.

Utah Trip!

We Did It! We finally made it to Utah! We had such a great time. Thank you for making it so much fun for the kids, me and Derek. Mikey and Katie had a great time playing with all their cousins, aunties, uncles, grammy and grandpa Kenny, but we really missed the Matsuda's. Maybe next time. We'll be back :)

Here are some highlights of the trip. We miss all of you so much!

After a year of sewing...

I finally had the courage to sew things and give them as gifts. My friend Amy just had a baby girl on Monday. I hope little Reese likes her new baby blanket. The second blanket is for my friend Autumn who's expecting her 4th, 3rd boy, in March. The kids wanted to "model" the blankets for me. I only sew in a straight line, so baby blankets were the easiest thing for me to make ;)

See you in a couple weeks!

West siiiiiiiiiiiiddddddddddeeeeeeeee.
Jarom got free tickets to a Clippers game. It's not the Lakers, but we aren't really Lakers fans anyway!















Charlise had a little birthday party at the park! She had a GREAT time. She's loving all the little dolls and Barbies she got. Eli, too.
