Yeehaw... It's a Cowgirl Party.

On Saturday, we were invited to Madison's 3rd birthday party. The theme was cowgirls and cowboys. Katie had hats for all the lil buckaroos. Katie and her Mom had many games for the kids to play including Pin the Hat on the Cowgirl, Mining for Coins and a Pinata. They also had a western carriage ride with 2 ponies to pull the carriage. They were so cute and the kids loved the carriage ride.

The best part was seeing all of our friend get together. Erin and Robert came with their daughter, Katelynn. Amy and Jerry came with Jerry's daughter. Megan, Mike and Logan came and Kristi was a trooper and drove from Orange County to come to the party.

Kennedy Rylee is Here...

Kennedy was born on February 6, 2011 at 7:43am and let me tell you she is adorable. Jim and I got to visit her this past Saturday and she is such a doll. Stephanie is an amazing Mom and it is so sweet to see my little Cousin as a mommy. Ryan was already wrapped around Stephanie's finger but now he is wrapped around Kennedy's finger too.

Uncle Jimbo was pretty impressed with Kennedy and how much she liked to move her hands. She definitely had her Daddy's fingers, feet and toes. They are very long and she cant fit in her little booties.

Lets Go Racing Boys!!!

For Christmas, Jim and I got his Dad (Sr.) a pass to ride 3 laps at the Las Vegas speedway in a racecar. Sr. was so excited and a little nervous but had said that this was one of his best Christmas presents ever!!!
So, on Superbowl weekend we spent 4 days at Stateline and went to the race track to redeem his giftcard. It was an awesome experience and Sr. loved it.





We also had a great time at Stateline. We became friends with one of the bartenders and played a lot of Keno. On Sunday we were to a Superbowl party at Buffalo Bills which was a blast. There was free food, free drinks and a lot of people ready to have a great time. Plus, Green Bay won!

A Baby Shower for Kennedy Rylee

Kennedy Rylee is almost here but first we had a Baby Shower to celebrate and get Stephanie and Ryan ready for baby Kennedy. Stephanie recieved a lot of very cute clothes, a pair of Uggs, her first outfit from Nordstroms, and many crochet blankets from some very creative ladies.

For my Baby Shower gift I decided to make Stephanie a scrapbook for Kennedy which started with the first page "We're Having a Baby". Stephanie loved it!

Disneyland with the Long's

Jim and I go to Disneyland a lot but this past visit we got to meet Katie, Jarrod and Madison there. Since I had foot surgery I was not able to walk around so we were able to get the wheel chair pass which got us to the front of all the lines. Half way through the day, Katie's Mom came to pick up Madison so Katie, Jarrod, Jim and I could have adult time and go on adult rides. We had a blast!! We even stayed to see Disneyland new show, the World of Color.

Meeting Caroline Grace...

Justin and I have been friends since I was in a sophomore in High School and this past weekend Jim and I had the pleasure of meeting his baby girl, Caroline Grace. Caroline is absolutely adorable and I loved being able to spend time with her. I adore Justin and seeing him with his wife Jenny (who by the way is amazing) and his little girl made my heart full of joy. We cant wait to go to Lake Havasu to visit them soon.

Taco Night...

The title says it all... My Mom is in town for a month and we got to have Mom's famous tacos. Yummmmmm!!!
