Camping at Harris Beach

What fun! We arrived at Harris Beach State Park just north of Brookings, Oregon at lunchtime on Wednesday. We unloaded the car, ate sandwiches, and got set up. We planned to take a quick walk to the beach, come back for a nap, and return to the beach, but that’s not quite what we did. […]

Chloe and Allan’s Wedding

Below are photo strips taken at my cousin, Chloe’s, wedding.  Unfortunately, I have no other pictures taken, however, click on each picture and you’ll see the strip of four pictures.  I look forward to seeing pictures from the wedding, especially since Amabella, Adeliza, and Avalina were flower girls in it.  (Avalina was mostly just for […]

Saturday Fun

Saturday morning we enjoyed breakfast at the Restaurant attached to our hotel, Hayden’s Bar & Grill, with my parents, Tiffany, and Nathan. Next, we took a little excursion with Brandon, Nichole, and Nathan to TJ Maxx where Amabella got some butterfly arm floaties to use in the pool. After a quick stop at Starbucks and […]

Our Trip to Oregon Begins

Trevor and I both worked on Thursday, July 21st, while Darryl and Judy babysat the girls. Trevor and I met at their house after work, we ate pizza, and headed onto the road around 6:10 p.m. We arrived at our hotel in Yreka, CA a little before 1:00 a.m. The girls were very excited and […]

Today’s Portraits

This morning my girls and I went to Sears to get pictures taken with my niece Milah.  We attempted pictures of the four girls, the three, and individual pics of my three.  There was some success as well as a bit of chaos, crying, and escaping.  Sigh… hence this is Avalina’s first professional portrait sitting. […]

Amabella’s Princess Party

Here are a few quick pictures from the party.  Most are simply of those who dressed up at the party.  More details of the day coming soon. How to order drugs online at cheapest prices? With the market flooded with varied online drugstores selling varied medicaments, purchasing medicines from th WEB is no longer a […]

Amabella’s 3rd Birthday: A Princess Party

Today, Saturday, January 8th, we will be having a princess party for Amabella’s 3rd birthday. It’s sure to be fun! Dressing up will be for the adults and children alike. :-). I spent last evening making a castle cake like I saw online. Well, I’ll add more after the party.

Christmas Day with the Haydons

We got home fairly late from Trevor’s parents house on Christmas Eve, so I was the first one to awake at 7:30 a.m.  We got up and ready as quickly as possible, but didn’t arrive at my parents house in Ukiah until almost 10:30 a.m. Our traditional breakfast of scrambled eggs with cheese and little […]

Christmas Eve with the Smiths

As is tradition with Trevor’s family, the main part of the Christmas celebrations takes place on Christmas Eve evening.  So, we arrived after the girls napped, around 4:30pm.  We had delicious dinner together followed by a CRAZY time of opening presents.  🙂 It has already become a blur to me.  I remember the MANY presents […]

Christmas Eve Afternoon

After opening our presents, and while Daddy and the girls were outside playing, UPS delivered Trevor’s last little gift.  It was perfect as we each still had one present to open.  His present was a bag with a little note in it saying what was supposed to arrive.  However, I was able to swap it […]

Christmas Eve Morning 2010

We decided this year to start celebrating Christmas with just our little family at a separate time from extended family. Trevor had Christmas Eve off, so I chose to work a different day of the week instead. We celebrated on Christmas Eve morning the way my family always has on Christmas morning. I stayed up […]

2010 Christmas Wish Lists

As requested, I am finally posting our family wish lists.  I have posted mostly clothing for the girls.  I figure most of you know what the girls are interested in these days.  Ama loves babies, ballerinas/ballet, princesses (No need to go overboard with Disney princess stuff.), fancy clothes and shoes, Bibles, purple is her favorite […]

If They Ever Decide Coconut Is Bad For Your Heath…

We would be in trouble. As I was showering and shampooing my hair, I began thinking about how much coconut oil is used in my and my family’s life. For infants, Vitamin D is often suspended in coconut oil because allergies are rare. We all take a few drops of Vitamin D, if we did not get […]

Adeliza Goes Potty

Adi has been so wanting to wear underwear like Ama. She loves to sit on the potty and wipe, but has never gone pee. I’ve told her many times that once she goes potty on the toilet, she can wear underwear. Well, today she did go pee. Ama and I cheered and hugged – so […]

iPhone Saga: Exploration and Resolution

So many (including Apple’s warrenty) would say liquids and electronics do not mix,  but I beg to differ. Sure, coffee has fried my PowerBook’s logic board. But I felt confident that if I allowed the acetone evaporate no harm would come to my iPhone. I till hold that statement to be true, unfortunately in this […]
