BEFORE

So this past weekend, Analee, Charlie, & Nate came out to visit us.

I had K help me with the gardening. She was all over it!

And into it!

DURING

For Memorial Day, we went over to my parents house for a Patriotic BBQ.

Rock Band is a must every time we visit.

Kaelin & Nate even rocked out with my sis, Taylor.

Here are our bikes...

Here are our babes.

Look at their faces!! Haha!

Kids slidin'

For sure. Fun times Babycakes!

AFTER

Now, things are back to the same 'ol...Kaelin getting into everything...

Ok, I gave her a little boost...But the shot had to be taken...

It's funny, the only thing she was interested in was the bread.
Kaelin sure does miss her cuzz!

HOT OFF THE PRESS

It's weird. I've been in the Newspaper twice this year.

The first article came about when I was shopping at "The Swiss Dot" on Main Street in Seal Beach, CA. This old weird lookin' guy with googly-eyed glasses came up to me and whispered the question, "What was your favorite Christmas Present?" At first, I was thinking...Ummm.ok weirdo. Then the store owner (who happens to be the nicest, saleslady ever) told me he was from the "Sun Newspaper" (local paper). So of course I had to think fast. All that popped into my head was when my grandpa sent me 2 fake front teeth.. He, like the article says, was a dentist. So I totally got my wish granted that Christmas. It was awesome! If I find the picture of me holding those 2 front teeth, I will be sure to post it. I think I also got a pic of me standing with the weirdo guy...I will try and find that one too.

And then just today I was sent this article from my Gramps in Wisconsin. He was the one who gave me my two front teeth for Christmas. This pic was taken last summer when K was just a newby...how time flies...

Unfortunately, both articles have typos, but oh-well...life goes on...

Can anyone guess what they are?

Just for Laughs...

Birthday @ Boomers

We went to Boomers to celebrate Dan's B-Day.

We hit up the batting cages last night and now we are all paying for it today. Most of us are either sore or our hands are all tore up since the stinkin bats had barely any grip on them and I think we used Softball bats to hit baseballs...not sure..I don't know the diff....

But all in all, we had a most excellent time.

We even played some Air Hockey and met up for Cold Stone afterwards.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!

Beach Cruisin'

Just Yesterday...

Although Kaelin doesn't weigh the recommended weight of 20 lbs (she's still about 17 lbs), or doesn't turn 1 until next month, we had to get ready for summer before it's here!!

My Job at a Glance

Most of you know already that I teach Gymnastics. Here is a pic of my Director (Dayle-In Blue), Tamara (My Co-Coach) and Myself at a little Shin-Dig the other day...

What many of you might NOT know, is that I also teach Cheer-Nastics.

To tell you the truth, I have never been a huge fan of the whole "raa-raa" thing, but hey, it pays the bills and I get to learn something new...

These are few pics of my students. They are all around the age of 8.
Go C~N~S!!

Monique, I bet you are in awe, huh?

Beatin' The Heat...

The weather today, a comfy 80* or so...

These pictures captured the moments we expereinced so well...

Kaelin at nearly 11 months. The countdown begins to the BIG "ONE!!"

Enjoy...

Dee-Nee-Lann!!!

Forgot to post these with the Astro-Blasters pic last week, so here ya go!

I had to take a pic with the Queen. She is never wandering about....Usually we see Buzz, that Cowboy from Toy Story or Cruella Devile...The mole on that Queen is WAY more entertaining!

Don't want to get too close...
WE LOVE DISNEYLAND!! YAY!!
Ok, so these pics below were from today!

Chelsie, Ansofie, Kae, and I all went again. It was really poopy weather here in Newps, but at soon as we crossed onto Disney property, we were serenaded in Sunshine!!!

Can you believe?!?! Kaelin's first time on the Carousel!! Sheesh, it's taken us long enough.

Oh, we also went on that Toad ride, and all I have to say is if you are clostrophobic-DON'T GO THERE! It's all hot and scary and dark and crazy and I thought I was gonna pass out....never again....
