Oh, I love this Girl!!! Who doesn't?!?! To know her is to love her! Danielle, I'm SO thankful that your such an important part of my life - such a great friend, cousin, confidant,sister, auntie to Max, etc....you're the BEST!!! I wish you the happiness that you bring others and God's abundant blessings on your life! Love you love you!Oh, and the crazy Hillbilly pics are from her Hoedown of a birthday party! We have so much fun together!
Danielle's Birthday Hoedown brought out the best in us - scary how fitting some of it was! So much fun
Down in Livermore Max and I went to the pool everyday and he Loved it! He fell asleep while we were in the water every time - it totally calms him. He was just jabberin' away in his little crab floatee - so fun!
Max is now pulling himself up and walking around the edges of his playpen -he's getting VERY mobile! and when he does this, he smooshes his face against the side of his playpen and makes the funniest faces - he was cracking us up for days doing this! He's our t.v.!!!
Max was in his walker and I turned around and he had grabbed the Pirate's Booty (snack) and had the funniest look on his face! He is seriously mobile these days!
Max with our Pepe LePew! This cat is SO tolerant of him! Fistfuls of fur! He just lets Max tug on him! Max is finally feeling better - thanks for all your sweet words! He's just about to cut his first tooth, though - there's always something! We just got home from Livermore (where we're stationed now) and we're home for the weekend. It's good to be home!
Here's my boys! Max had been laughing forever before I even got this video - James was cracking him up!!! I love it when he belly laughs like this!
So, I was packed and on my way to get on a plane to visit all my loved ones in Maple Valley, WA -when my little munchkin got so sick and was so miserable that I wanted the doctor to look at him to make sure he was okay to fly and, sure enough - he wasn't okay. He has an ear infection and sinus infection which would've risked rupturing his eardrum if he flew....so, obviously I couldn't risk my child going deaf just to visit my buddies! So, we're home - but will go to Washington in a couple weeks. Max is feeling a little better - I'm tired,though...sick baby - tired mama. This is a picture of him exhausted with his little chapped nose...my little sicky.
My Girl, Kelli! Former Washingtonian friend, now in Denver! Miss you, Love you! (see more of her wedding pics on my makeup site!)
I had such a great birthday - and was Totally Spoiled!
Breakfast with my parents and my hot date, Max, Lunch with Danielle - Sopa Thai, yum! We took over the restaraunt! and Dinner with friends and family, and my Hubby drove up from the Bay Area in time to bless me tons!and shopping!I'm so grateful!
I have the most wonderful and thoughtful Friends!!!! Thank you everyone who remembered my birthday and made it a very special day! All the blog birthday posts were so fun - especially Allisons! She has a picture of both of us as babies together! Amazing! Anyways, every phone call, e-mail, blog and hug was SO appreciated and y'all blessed my socks clear off! Thank you for your love and support during the trying time of my life, too - you have been such strength to me...the wind beneath my wings, okay..I'll stop. Thank you a million - I am Blessed!
So, last week was probably the most intense week of my life. I've done a lot of soul-searching,God-searching, and life-searching...and, I conclude that...God is good. He will never leave of forsake me, He is my ever-present help in time of need, and I'm His Beloved. Amazing. I'm humbled at His love and care for me - in my weakest state, He is so near - aren't you amazed at His tireless love for us? So Awesome.
So, I'm home! James and I went away for the weekend to go to a marriage conference in Santa Clara with the Cochranes and Joe and Noelle. I always love getting away, and this time I Loved getting back because of my Munchkin! I missed him so much, I thought I'd die! The conference was wonderful and very timely. God did some great things and I'm very encouraged. James is still down in the Bay Area because....we're getting transferred to Walnut Creek for 3 months for his job! We'll be home on the weekends for the most part, but down there a lot of the time. Practically, it seems like bad timing, with our house and yard still in process - but it's actually great timing otherwise, to get to recoup our little family and have some much needed time together. I love change anyhow and I think it'll be great for us! Never a dull moment, I tell ya! I'll post some more updated pictures on the house, but here's some when the addition was getting wrapped up. It looks amazing now!
I'm attempting to fill in the last 2 week of delinquent blogging; I know, feast or famine! Here's some pictures from our fun night out at the cheesecake factory - i love these girls! yes, we drove our husbands crazy with the photoshoots!I'm so thankful for such great friends!

Max is officially not sick anymore and I'm a happy mama! This was his little breathing machine - nebulizer, that he liked administering to himself! So the cough, asthma, cold, sneezing, ear infection, and yeast infection caused by the antibiotics are all finally gone! Hooray! Now, he's on to sticking out his tongue and blowing spit everywhere - that's my boy!
