Jeremy is here!!

My whombmate (as darrell would say) is visting us from Virginia for 3 weeks. He only has one week left :( But I am so happy to have him here with me. It makes me feel complete! I really wish he would move here because I love being with my twin!! Jacob , Jeremy's son, is here with him too and has been really fun to have around! He gets along great with the girls!

I wake up almost every morning to Jacob at the side of my bed asking "excuse me, excuse me....where is my batman costume?" He is wearing it when ever he can. CC really enjoyed having someone to wear hers with too. Batman and Batgirl!!

I finally have one!!!

I am sure most will not ever understand why I wanted this soo bad.....but I would spend nights dreaming about having one, but I have been very patient and know that is would not be realistic to spend $359 plus tax on one. For all of you who know that I am in love with red and deep down inside want the Betty Crooker in me to come out! I finally found one on, of course,craigslist for $140!! What a steal! Preston makes fun of me because every time I walk through and past the Kitchen Aid mixer my head turns so that I can look at for as long as possible. I do take peeks into the kitchen every now and again too I will admit! I did bake my first batch of cookies yesterday...and don't worry they were weight watchers cookies!!

Meet LuLu......

This is a newest member of our family! Meet LuLu, she was born in Hayward on Nov.14, 2008 and weighs 3 lbs. She is a Bichon Frise, who is perfect! Lulu's breed is known for not shedding, not being a yapper and being really good with kids! She will be about 10-12 lbs full grown! We are just so happy to have her as a part of the Family!

Out with the OLD and in with the NEW!

Today was makeover Saturday!! I have really been irritated with the girls room lately. It is a small bedroom with three toddler beds, a changing table, and 2 dressers. I know they are small and don't need much space, but what about the sanity of the parents. We suffer too. So last week I caught CC taking naps in a very peculiar place. . . .
The Changing Table! Hailey thought it was pretty cool too.
So I decided to do a ton of craigslist and ebay homework to find bunk beds for the girls! I was successful!Yeah!The makeover.........

I am so jealous of the girls! I want to sleep in there. (Hopefully I don't ever have too!) They all feel like such big girls now and hopefully this will keep them in there rooms all night :)Thank you craigslist!!

Our Best Tax Return Expenditure Ever!!!

Don't you hate it when the end of your tax return approaches?I know I sure do. I look back and ask myself "what the heck did we spend it on?" You buy yourself a new bed or computer and then it seems to dwindle down so quickly! Well, not this year! We will actually have something to show for it! Yeah!!! Now presenting our best tax return expenditure ever......meet PT Cruiser!

Our 2007 PT Cruiser with 31K miles!!

We are so excited! We have only had the luxury of two cars for a couple month right after we got married so this is great!!! It's pretty spacey too, we can fit all the girls in the back!Ahh... I catch myself peeking into the garage every now and then to take a gander!I feel so complete -I sound so worldly, I know-Bad girl Jess :)

Santa was at Starbucks!

Santa was at Starbucks and the girls had a blast! Mady was pretty scared of Santa. She was screaming "no,no" right before this picture was taken.Then she figured out that he had Candy!

There was cookie decorating, ornament making and free hot chocolate! It was great!

Happy Birthday Alicia!!

From the beginning!! For those of you wondering how she became "CC"......Look at those Chubby Cheeks!

This is ALICIA Dec 16th 2003! (doesn't my dad look good?)

Here CC is at 4 months old. I used to love Dressing her in her Old Navy!(Back when I was a fellow employee ~ I sure do miss that discount)

8 months old!!

I love this picture!! This is at Caleb and Jessica's wedding! I remember that the flower girl wasn't too happy to be in the pictures.

CC just jumped right in. She is such a ham!

I believe Alicia is 1 1/2 in this pic.This is when we lived in Chico . She was a little Fish back then. She would swim for hours!

This was taken in our Live Oak home. She loved to Dress up like a Princess. Who doesn't? I think CC is 3 here.

3 and 4 years old. This is the last of her Curly hair! I didn't like messing with it then, but I sure do miss it now.

This was her curly hair straightened out. I thought it made the "Korean" in her stand out.

This is the hair cut that made those curls disappear........
4 years old!





The Big "5"

It has been such a great experience! We always tell CC that she didn't train us properly as parents because she was such a good baby/child. We didn't have experiences to prepare us for her sisters. I sure do love this girl!

She is super excited to be old enough to attend school next year

(her mommy is excited too)

Love you CC!!

Happy Holidays!!

Silly pictures! these are our freebies from the picture people! Merry Chrsitmas!!

My little Star!!
