So a couple of weeks ago my cousin David got to fly down to Colorado Springs for a couple of hours. So naturally my parents and I went to see him and his plane ( which is an A-10 for those who want to know). It was so much fun seeing him again. He is unfortunately going to be deployed soon so this made this visit even better. He is such an amazing guy and even better fighter pilot and we wish him good luck. We are so proud of you David!!!
So we have a tradition that we do every year with Quinton's family, we go to Durango Co. Rick Quinton's dad is way into cycling and always does a race down there in Durango. WE love it!!!! Rick won both of his races, and we are so proud of him. It was just nice to get away for the weekend to somewhere else. Sydney did great the whole weekend. She really could not be any easier. Well there are tons more that I could say but I will just let you all look at all the pictures. Enjoy!!!
Well hello everyone. It has been a little while since my last post. Here is the reason why, I like to take pictures and because of that I have a lot of pictures on my computer. I had so many pictures on my computer that I really could not do anything but check my email. So to make a long story short, we had to end up buying an external hard drive to put all my pictures on. I had a little over 17,000 pictures that I had to put onto our hard drive. So now that we have a ton more space, I am back.
I have some very exciting news for everyone, I am not someone who usually goes about telling about all my accomplishments. However, this one I can make an excuse. I recently have lost about 21 1/2 pounds ( yes, 21.5 pounds), I am very proud of myself and all that I have accomplished. I am about 95 % to my goal and 85 % there for my ultimate goal but that is a whole other post. Unfortunately I am not going to post any pictures ( the fat ones are just to embarrassing). I hope everyone is doing well, and I would like to thank everyone for your love and concern the last couple weeks. We all are doing great and are so excited for the summer to come with all it's activities.
To make a long story short we unfortunately are no longer going to be having our new "little addition" to our family anymore. Everyone is fine and well.
So we live in this beautiful state Colorado. Surprisingly our winter this year has been really calm ( and I was loving it) however, spring up here is when we get most of our snow. Lately within the last month we have already had about 3 -4 snow storms. The last one unfortunately was on Easter, however, we got word that a really big snowstorm was coming. So we waited, then on Thursday it arrived. This was certainly the strangest weather I have ever seen, they called it Thunder snow. Yes, Thunder snow, while it was raining this stuff called Gravel ( a mixture of rain, hail and snow) there was also thunder and lighting. So weird, I have never seen anything like it before.
Anyways, finally the snow came, and came and kept on coming. So it started snowing Thursday night and just finished Sunday morning. We have almost 2 FEET of snow and have been house bound since Thursday. Finally on Saturday we had to get out. So we got all bundled up ( Sydney included) and went to look around our apartment. It was fun, but really cold and windy. And yes, that is my car in the second the last picture that in under all the snow. Anyways, we all survived and are so excited to get out today ( Sunday) we all are starting to get some cabin fever. Anyways, you gotta love all the reasons why we live in Colorado. The amazing beauty in just breath taking. Hope you all enjoy the pictures!!!
Okay, so this is a little late but o well. On March 18 Quinton and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary. I can not believe that 3 years have already flown by. We went out to a nice restaurant and just talked. It was a wonderful evening to just spend with my husband... the best one in the world.... sorry ladies. The funny thing is that our first Anniversary I was pregnant, 2nd one, we had Sydney, our 3rd one, I was pregnant again. Kind of a funny pattern we are following. Anyway, it has been a incredible 3 years sweat heart, may we have a eternity more. Love ya babe!!!
First I would like to apologize that I have not written a lot about Sydney lately. I was going over our blog and realized that she has kind of been left out. So here goes, our little girl is 18 months now and is so much fun. I love it!!! She talks all the time now, some English, some her language. Quinton says it sounds like some strange language from Star Wars or something. It is hilarious. She still loves puppies and kitties and anytime she sees one she either woofs or meow's. She loves to look at her books, she has a little couch and she will sit there and go through and act like she is reading every single book. She is very much a girl, she loves to play dress up with her sunglasses, necklaces, bracelets, purses and any of my shoes she can find ( higher the heel the better). I have many pictures of her unique sense of fashion. She loves her daddy soooooo much, and even, loves to say bye-bye to anyone leaving our home. She loves to give kisses ( juicier the better). Recently she started saying Grandma or actually it comes out "Mam ma" I am "Momma/Mommy". She loves to sing, yes I said sing, dance and most of all..... talk on the phone. Anytime I am on my phone she has to talk to whoever I am, and she will. She truly is a joy in our life and we can not wait until she is a big sister. She will be awesome.
A couple of weekends ago Quinton's good friend Jake came by for a visit from Denver for the weekend. It has been about 4 years since the last time they saw each other. It was also really nice to meet Jake for the first time too, however, I can not say the same thing for Sydney. No matter how hard we tried she was not warming up to well to Jake. I felt so bad, maybe next time she will be better. It was a wonderful weekend, Quinton and Jake got to play one night with Quinton's friend Jason. They also had a little jam session Sunday after noon. Here is a video of Jake and Quinton just playing around. Enjoy!!!
This last week I have had a chance to see a whole bunch of old friends from my single days. I first saw Ali who was here for a week from Japan. It has been about 4 years since the last time we saw each other. We were able to have lunch and meet each others kids. Ali has two, Breck and Jade. They were so cute. It was wonderful to see her again. The next night Quinton and I went to some friends house for a birthday party. We saw a whole bunch of more friends that we have not seen in a really really long time. The last time we were all together none of us were married. Now look at us, married with kids. Where does the time go? Here are the girls, Jaquie, Janell, Britnay and Me. Then next picture is our kids, Caeven, Gavin, Sydney and Eliana. Enjoy the pictures. It was wonderful to see everyone again.
As most of you know our little girl loves to sing and dance. We always new that she was musical, even when I was pregnant with her she would always kick when she heard music or when Quinton was playing his guitar. Anyways, here is a video of Sydney singing. We think it is the cutest thing ever. Also here is a cute upclose picture of Sydney that I took. We are hoping she will try out for American Idol in about 15 years. Hope you enjoy it!!!
Well this is a little late but we hope that everyone had a great valentines day. Quinton got me a beautiful red rose with a great card. Later that night Quinton, Sydney and I had a nice dinner with our friends Justin, Tiffany and their daughter Avery. It was a great dinner, and the company was even better. After dinner we watched a scary movie ( I know, I was out voted for the chick flick) and had hot sundae's. It was wonderful and the girls love playing together. I think they had more fun then we did. Hope every one's Valentines day was a great as ours.
