Happy 3rd Birthday Ellie!

For Ellie's birthday Jacquie booked a flight on a little plane out of the Corona airport. Yes, Corona has a tiny airport! Ellie and Jacquie eat breakfast sometimes at the airport where Ellie can watch the planes take off and she always asks if she can ride in one. So Jacquie asked if there were people who charted airplanes and she was directed to the little building next door that did. For a minimal fee 3 people can go in a plane and fly over the area! They have different flights but we choose the shortest one. We weren't sure how Ellie was going to like it. Jacquie was nice enough to ask me to be the 3rd person to go with them!

We were supposed to wear these head phones in the air, Ellie let him fit her before we got on the plane, but wanted nothing to do with them once we got in the plane.

This was the little plane we were going to get on. Ellie was very excited to get on when she saw the plane.

I sat in the back with Ellie, she didn't want to help the pilot fly...

Neither did Jacquie, but I made her sit up there anyway! This is Spencer our pilot... he's 18 years old! UM..... yeah, that was interesting!

This is Ellie before we took off really excited to fly in a plane!


Here is what Lake Matthews looks like 3,000 feet up in the air!


I tried to take Ellie's mind off of being that high up by pointing out everything I could on the ground, tiny cars, houses and trees. She was ok for the most part until she decided she just wanted to go home... so we told her we were heading home.


It was nice to be on solid ground again! Here is Jacquie, Ellie and our 18 year old pilot! YIKES! Once we touched the ground (which was very dramatic because it was windy as hell out there) Ellie wanted to go again! Figures!

Then of course no 3rd birthday would be complete with out getting all dressed up like a princess and going to Chuck E Chesse's!

You know I had to put a picture of my beautiful little princess in here too!


Happy Birthday Ellie! Hope you had a great one! Thank you for letting me be part of it! I had such a great time!

Party time!!!

Saturday night was my good friend Michelle's Bachelorette Party! We had tons of fun! We went to dinner and then Sharkeez for some fish bowls and dancing!
Here is me with the Bachlorette of the night!
Party Table! We showed them how to drink a fish bowl! This is fish bowl #1...


This is fish bowl #4... Can you see the difference??
Crystal and her twins got some guy to buy us fish bowls all night. Good job Crystal!!!
This is what a fish bowl looks like... They are full of alcohol and very dangerous!
This is Michelle after helping us drink 4 fish bowls!!! PARTY!!!

Angels Day!

Sunday we went to the Angels game where they... yes, say it with me... SWEPT THOSE YANKEES! (Ha Auntie Crystal!)
Alana was awake for most of the game this time and seemed to be ok with the noise and everyone cheering and yelling! It was a very exciting game and Alana can't wait to go back to another one! She has a lot of Angels gear but we wanted to match this time, so I dressed her in this cute outfit. Victor said she looks like a boy, so we had to make sure she had a bow in her hair at all times!
Family picture time!
Here is the hat Daddy bought me!

My niece Hailey got to stay here for a week before she goes back to school so I took this opportunity to take some pictures of the granddaughters, and try my hand again at photography!

Hailey is going to be 13 this year and is growing into such a beautiful young lady, it's pretty crazy to think about her being as small as Alana and now she's on her way to being a teen! *tear*

And then there is Ellie. 3 going on 15 and soon to be big sister!

And of course my beautiful baby girl!

It was tuff getting Alana and Ellie to cooperate at the same time!

Ellie loves feeding the ducks!
And of course I had to get in one!

Some new pictures for your viewing pleasure!

It's been awhile since I posted some pictures, so I have lots of new ones!

Alana is 2 months old today, and like every morning wakes up very happy and has the craziest faces and hair! That hair is untameable!




My sister Jacquie had her baby shower this weekend for her new little Lexie Jane, coming in September! She is doing great and we can't wait to meet Lexie!

Alana and her Aunt Julie.

Why doesn't Grandma smile when she takes pictures with me?


My cute little Disney outfit!


Alana and I started to take this Mommie & Me class. This was a picture from our first week. I'm learning there are a lot of moms just like me out there that need adults to speak too during the day while they are at home with their baby! I think that each week they set up a little spot to take pictures in. Here is our first one! It was Disney Day, so Alana brought her Little Mermaid doll. I'm still trying to get her to smile on command!
