BEACH IN THE WINTER..GOTTA LOVE THE OC

Nothing like beach weather in what's suppose to be the dead of WINTER....sorry all my friends and family in the cold....but it's the price we pay to live here and at this moment I'm liking it:) The kids loved the beach with their friends....even Tylee loved basking in the SUN!! Doesn't get any better then this:) Can't wait for the Summer days!!!





THE RACE IS ON!!

So Drew and I have had an on-going battle with running!! It all started last January when we were both suppose to run our first half marathon together in Irvine!! The only problem was I was pregnant and so we didn't think that would be a good idea. So Drew went on to run it without me:( Yes I was a little bitter and from there he proceeded to run another half marathon, a triathlon and TWO full marathons!! All while I was pregnant and had just had the baby! So this January I told him he better be ready because I was going to run my FIRST half marathon in Irvine and I was coming out guns blazing!! Let's just say the race was on!! So who do you think won??????? We ran most the way together pacing each other...but on mile 10....things changed and I had to say goodbye to drew at the water stop and hello to the finish line WITHOUT HIM!! Sorry honey you knew this was coming...he's devastated as I did beat him by 5 minutes!! And yes it felt SOOOO GOOD:) LOVE YOU DREW!!! Can't wait for the next one...and once again the race will be on!!!

Dylan Turns 2!!

Yes December is a very busy month we celebrated another birthday...our little man Dylan turned 2 on December 31st!! Everyday I tell Drew how lucky we are to have this little guy in our family...I'm still OBSESSED with him now more then ever!! He is seriously the sweetest kid! He's a smart boy and I can't believe half the things that come out of his mouth:) We call him our little parrot because he repeats everything you say and wont forget it...so yes we've learned to be very carefully when talking around him:) Honestly I couldn't imagine our life without this easy go lucky...absolutely ADORABLE guy! He has melted my heart since the moment the nurse laid him on my me when he was born and I can't seem to get enough of him. For his birthday we took him to ZOOMARS and let him play with the animals and ride the train. He liked the goats but didn't care to hold the guinea pigs...rabbits or ride the horse. He let his sister do all that....instead he rode the train over and over and over!! He was in Heaven:) Then for his cake he had Elmo and Cookie Monster cupcakes...yummy!! We love you little buggie!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

THE BIG 30!!!

So on Decemeber 22nd....Drew turned the BIG 30!!! He loves being 30!! Crazy to think he's that old now, but he couldn't of been happier! For his birthday he had a joint celebration with his good friend Jereme!! He had a whole day full of fun and surprises!! Thanks to everyone who help celebrate his big day...he had a blast. The morning started off with a yummy breakfast in bed...and then he was whisked away to ride race cars with his buddies!! He was suppose to go golfing but due to the rainy rainy weather they went with plan B...then the guys all went to sushi where Drew says it's the best he's had hands down! Next off was a little relaxation time as he enjoyed his first ever massage!! Then he finally came home for a quick wardrobe change and then we were off for a surprise dinner and bowling night at Lucky Strike! The food was not your average bowling alley food it was very gourmet and yummy and the bowling was a trendy lounge/night club vibe! To top it off he had his favorite red velvet cake..it was a great day!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DREW WE LOVE YOU!!!














Christmas Festivities!!

Okay so I know Christmas was a long ways away...but I have to catch up! Here's a quick re-cap of all the festivities.....we continued again with our tradition of riding the train to see Santa at the North Pole...(aka Irvine Park) the kids had a blast and were loving Santa!! Then this year my entire family came out for the whole week of Christmas. We started with welcoming in a new brother-in-law...Sara and Todd got married on Drew's birthday at the San Diego Temple! It was pouring down rain not the ideal weather for a wedding...but it turned out beautiful anyways and the two love birds I don't think even noticed! After the wedding we did the usual family activities...games...movies and eating! The kids loved having all their Aunts and Uncles and had plenty of attention. For Christmas Eve we all went to Knotts Berry Farm and had a blast! Then later that night we joined Drew's family for their traditional mexican food at Olvera Street! It was yummy can't go wrong there! Christmas was crazy with all those people it took FOREVER to open presents!! It was sad when everyone had to leave...lets just say the kids went through with drawls for awhile:)
