Happy Birthday Wesley!

My favorite little guy is turning 8 years old today. Wow, time flies by way to fast. It was not so long agao that he was this little shy, quiet, chubby little boy. Now he is a boy that is full of life, that loves sports, loves playing with his friends, loves reading, loves school, and still loves cuddling with his mom and dad.

You will always be our little boy!

We love you so much!

Christmas

Every year during the Christmas season, we celebrate Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with Paul's. For Christmas Eve we go to my grandma's. We have done this ever since I was little. This Christmas Eve my sister was able to come and spend it with us. It has been two years since she has spent with us due to her busy schedule. Wesley especially liked having her around. We go over for dinner, open presents, have yummt desserst, and go to church.

We returned home after church. Wesley scattered the reindeer food and put out the milk cookies for Santa. He fell asleep so fast knowing that Santa only comes to boys and girls who are asleep. He woke up around 7:30 to open his presents from Santa. He received clothes, new shoes, books, a remote control car, and a tetherball court.

Even in the cold he went to go play with his tetherball

Later that day we headed to Hemet to spend Christmas with Paul's grandparent's and parent's. Paul's dad cooked a yummy dinner and then again we opened more presents.

We had a great Christmas. It always seems to fly by way to fast.

A boy named Wesley and his best friend

Wesley and Caleb have been friends for about 4 years. Caleb is my good friend Jill's nephew, so that is how they met. Caleb is the same age as Wesley and they are in the same grade, but have never gone to the same school and I amazed that even though they don't see each other that often they really enjoy each others company and get along so well. Anytime we go anywhere, he asks "Can I take Caleb." Here are few pictures of them in some of their many adventures.

p.s. Holly you have raised a great little boy in Caleb and Wesley is lucky to have him as a friend.

A New Christmas Tradition

During the Christmas season we do many things as a family. We bake cookies, look at Christmas lights, take pictures with Santa, have get togethers with family and friends, and a new tradition that we added and hopefully will continue is ice skating. My mom, Juliana, Wesley and I took the metro to Union Station and then walked to Fellipes which a restaurant about a block away from the station and met up with Paul to have dinner. We then drove over to Persing Square to go ice skating. The weather was perfect and so was the company. This was Wesley's first time ice skating and he had a blast. Luckily my sister was there to help him. She is a much better skater than Paul and I. There was only one down fall to the trip, I forgot my camera :(.

Happy Veteran's Day

I want to say a special thanks to all our veterans, especially to my hubby. He was in the Navy for 8 years and I just want to tell you that I am very proud to have you as my husband.

Praying for little Abbie

All Jill wanted was to meet a good man and have kids. Well she has terrific husband and now they are both awaiting their first child, little Abbie. Early on in her pregnancy she had some complications, but everything worked out. She started the year teaching her second grade class, but there has been a turn for the worse. She started contractions last night and the doctors can't seem to stop them. She is only 28 weeks, so if she were to deliver the outcome does not look to good. Please keep Jill and little Abbie in your prayers. We want both of Jill's wishes to come true.

Last Year I Married My Best Friend!!

One year ago I married Paul down at Crystal Cove. It was the happiest day of my life. Paul is an amazing husband and dad. He is always there for us. To celebrate we went down to Crystal Cove and had a great time. Today's weather was almost the same as last years. Sunny in West Covina, but overcast down at the beach. We walked down to the bluff where we had our ceremony at and it brought back so many wonderful memories. Paul even tried to say his vows again to me. He is such a romantic. I just found out today that my grandma and grandpa also got married on September 27. I hope that Paul and I can be as lucky as they were.

I Love You Paul!!
