Faboulous Flirty and Thirty ;)



30!!!!
Actually I thought turning 29 was harder...the realization that this was my last year in my 20's... so I think I had a whole year to come to accept the fact I was turning 30. So when I turned thirty it was no big deal. It was Fun because I had so many people around me I was thankful for!

My parents took me out to lunch during the day to Cheescake Factory



Josh's Parents took us out to Musashi Japenese...The boys loved it!
Saw one of my birthday Sisters out that night too! HB Carolyn!




And my SIL Steph took me out to a yummy dinner just us two at Exotic Thai Bistro...Thanks Sis! It was fun! She turns 30 tomorrow! ;)


Then my parents threw me an awesome Birthday Bash!

The Decorations...



Waiting for the guests to arrive...


Man I love these four... ;)


The party...

My HS bestie Sarah {Pear Bear} We were cheerleaders together and had lots of fun with our crazy group of mormon friends! hahaha and making the best videos...she was even so nice to let me borrow her boyfriend at the time to go to Prom with hahaha...what a nice friend...{she was a grade younger}I guess real friends share everything hahaha...

Lily looking Fabulous!


Growing up I had three girl cousins and we were all born the same year! This is Crystal! She's an awesome runner and such a sweetheart and always has been the sweetest girl! oh and her man Michael is in the pic too ;) 


This is Tammy and Kayla!
Definite long time - life long friends! Met them in the Pageants but have remained friends still! Tammy is super funny and so real! I have the best time with Kayla especially watching Talent at the beauty pageants! She is a beautiful Pageant Queen and wins all these titles everywhere she competes! Love them!


This is my Nina {moms sister} and Kim {moms best friend} They are my next biggest fans after mom of course!  We have so many memories with these ladies. They both have a daughter my age, Jenny my cousin and Kristi my childhood BFF. So we were always doing something together from Pageants, Family Fun, Cheerleading, Holidays...You name it we were all there!  


And the people I love most and who love me most!!

Blink hadn't come out with anything in like 10 yesars or so and they just got back together as a band and came out with a new album so at the concert they played all their old stuff and a few new ones. It was super fun! Felt like High School! ;)

Lily Turns One

Lily Turns One
September 4th 2011
I can't believe my last little baby turned one! She was my hardest baby but even being my hardest, she was pretty good compared to a lot of other babies...So I hear and so people tell me...I don't care she was hard but probably because I had four others who needed my attention with my oldest being only nine...but I am so glad we went ahead and tried for her...I had a miscarrrage before her and we were pretty sure we still wanted to try for that last little #5...So glad we did... She really does complete our family quite nicely...So glad my Lexi has a sister...and they will have each other always...

They are five years apart and I think that is perfect...They will always be sisters rooting for each other and not always so in competition {I Hope} hahaha...



Happy Birthday to our little Lilypie ;)



Her little Presents

My mom and Linda helped me throw an awesome little party over at my moms...

New School..Temperorarily

New School...Wood Ranch Elementary in Simi Valley.
So just a week after we moved all of our three truck loads of stuff into two large storage units the kids started school in Simi Valley. This was the first year I was going to drop all three off in the morinng and they would all three go all day!  Super excited except school began at 8am and got out at 2pm...So by the time I hit the gym, showered, ate lunch it felt like it was time to pick them up already! Of course Lexi made a best frien right away, funny thing is she moved away about a month before Lexi did...So that worked out for both of them hahaha...


Dalen my big fourth grader...Can't believe that!!! 9 years old and so so hlpful and mature...He is a very good student..always a friend to all and very helpful to teachers...


Deveon - My sweet and silly third grader... This one is always ready to play...sometimes drives me crazy when it's chore time...but he loves math and is very good at all subjects.. 8 Years old



Lexi My cute and sweet little 1st Grader...She is very fast at grasping concepts and loves art and has very neat writing... 6 years old...


So now I spend my days with these two cuties! Noah-3 years and Lily 1 year...
They love the kids club at 24 every morning and grabbing lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Dubois during their lunch hours and going to the mall food court with Grandma Miles...

Goodbye to our old home...

This was the day I drove Lexi, Noah and Lily down to Grandma's before flying back up a day later for our big move to So Cali! Which by the way was suppose to consist of Josh driving a truck, Brother Jesse driving second truck with girlfriend at the time Shelbee and me driving Josh's car down to Simi...Except half way through the loading up day, We realized we were not going to cut it with only two trucks! So who had to drive a small Uhaul down to Simi??? ME! I almost cried but I stayed strong...had to put my big girl pants on and just do it! It was pretty awful but whatevs! Shelbee had to drive Josh's car so we were all alone in our cars/trucks...

Back to our drive down to Simi with the three little ones in my car, we stopped at In'n'Out for lunch and Noah shouts to all the people standing in line "Hello to all the People of the World!!!" Had me laughing...oh that kids does not have a shy bone in the body!

This is our Cute home in Elk Grove ;) Man this is weird seeing this picture...Kinda miss it :( It was a beautiful home and we had three of our five kids here...I'm glad I took all these pictures of the rooms so I can always remember and show the kids when they are older...I love seeing photos like that of my childhood homes!
