I'm 25!

January 27th was my 25th birthday. It was kind of weird not having my other half there to celebrate getting one year older. Terri moved to Olympia where she is doing great, so sadly we had to spend our birthdays apart. We had a birthday dinner at El Abuelo & it was REALLY fun. Had a great turn-out & i felt very spoiled! Thanks everyone for coming. I only have one picture at this time, but there are more to come! Please note that Natalie & all the little girls have an immaculate amount of lip gloss on in this photo as they spent the entire two hours fighting over who got which tube of gloss! Unbelievable! And-Travis is not smiling because he had just finished arguing w/ Phia to get in the picutre! HAHAHA

Hollidays 2008 Continued

Well-Christmas 2008 was fabulous. I haven't been able to post for a while because we have been so busy. It seems as if we have been on the run since about two weeks before Christmas even got here! We spent lots of time w/ family & friends....but i'm glad it's time to get back to normal! Here are some pictures from the last few weeks! Happy New Year to all!

Here are some photos from the trip to pasco & other Holiday pictures.

Santa visited the Stevens Ranch on Christmas Eve (my cousin's husband did the honors & he war PERFECT. Although, Isabel knew who he was because his wedding ring is tattooed on & she notices that right away!)

Nat w/ a new set of "Grandma Mona Bears"-that's what she has called this bear my G'ma got her a long time ago......this in an ENTIRE set!

G'ma & G'pa looking at the scrapbook we made for them of the kids....needless to say the LOVED it! We all wrote them letters and put them in the back of the book. G'ma was very touched!

"Hey there little girl, what would you like for Christmas"-she actually told me a week before to tell Santa she wanted coal & to take all her presents back because she was determined to sleep on the couch that night. Sheesh!
