Del Mar Fair 2011

Today we went to the Del Mar Fair and JR was excited to go see the animals. It was a fun day! We enjoyed our nice family day out :) Glad we decided to go when they opened before the crowd rolled in and left as the crowd was coming. We actually didn't think we would stay too long, but ended up staying for over 5.5 hours. JR enjoyed watching a lot of the shows, loved all the dancers and the music. We played in kiddie land for a couple hours, lots of fun. No rides, but did all the free stuff in the shade and tented areas :)
Feeding the goat.

JRs 20 min nap on the drive home, she was out before we even left the parking lot. Long day for her with no nap. Was in bed early though :) Good for Mommy and Daddy :) Way past my bedtime now........good night.

Some park fun!

JR loves the park, actually she just loves to be outside! Here are some pictures to enjoy from the other day!



She can hang for a long time.

Happy Be-lated Birthday Monica!

One of our close friends had a birthday yesterday and we had the honor in helping celebrate her 35th birthday! We went out to dinner and had some yummy food with wonderful friends. The Reifer family (Jake, Maria, Estella and Victoria) joined us. Thanks again Maria and Jake, it was really sweet of you to pick up the dinner bill :) After dinner we said goodbye to the Reifer family. Then came back to the casa and played cards ~ fun times :) Kris Monica's husband was able to get off work and join :) And Jessica and Chris came to join also :) Happy Birthday Monica. We love you! We forgot about taking pictures, but we did get a few in.

The weekend

Where we leave they had lots of family fun things going on this whole weekend. A small Fair and also a Fiesta going on at one of the church's. JR enjoyed playing some of the games at the fair, eating popcorn and in the evening on Saturday after dinner, we got her all ready for bed and took her down to listen to the live music. She loves music and enjoyed dancing. We really didn't get any great pictures from the day. But got a really short video of her dancing. I know it's short, but better than nothing, right :) Sunday was another family day at Daddy's softball game, his team won :) Then an evening of playing with friends!

Happy Memorial Day!

I know it's been a while since I've blogged, sorry! Things have been busy and I have not been feeling up to staying up late, most of the time I'm in bed by now. But tonight I've got a little bit of energy, baby is kicking my butt! 12 weeks and 4 days today :)

Well, first off Happy Memorial Day! For most, it is simply 3 days off work. For others, it's a lot of savings at stores nationwide. But for most of US, it's a day to remember our fallen troops that have fought in battles WORLDWIDE!

Happy Birthday to Grandpa! We love you Grandpa!

We had a great weekend fulled with lots of fun with family and friends! So thankful it's my day off tomorrow and I still get another day off with our princess :) Tomorrow will be fun with JR's cousins at the children's museum. Thanks sis for the free passes, once again :)

Below are some cute pictures from our family morning feeding the ducks!

Our newest addition

Today went to the doctor's for an ultrasound :) Everything is looking good, Baby Perez has a strong heart beat already! Took Jaycee with me to the appointment and she did very well. I think she enjoyed watching the pictures on the computer :) I'm measuring at 8 weeks and 4 days today. Ultrasound shows my due date of December 11th. I was only 3 days off! Even closer to Jaycee's birthday!

Easter fun with cousins........

Last week we went over to my sister's casa and colored eggs and had a hunt with the kids. Lots of fun! Thanks sis for the good times and filling the eggs with surprises (money). Next year's hunt with the kids will be twice as fun, adding two more little ones to the mix :) My sister being due in November and myself due in December. Yes, another December baby!

Around the counter coloring the eggs.

Zerah, Conor and Aidan are totally into coloring.

Happy Birthday Conor!

Today my nephew turned the big 8! It's hard to believe 8 years ago today Tavo and I stayed up really late (when I say late, I mean late) with some friends for his 26th birthday, we had pretty much just went to bed when we got a call. We rested a bit and headed to the hospital around 7am to meet our new baby nephew :-) After the hospital we went and played softball at 11am. Meeting the little guy and seeing his first bath gave us the energy we needed to go play ball on little to no sleep ;-)

This weekend we celebrated Conor's special day! Grandma, Grandpa, Great Grandma and Great Grandpa came down to celebrate also :-) We all had a great time! Happy Birthday Conor, we love you and are so proud of the young man you are becoming! You are so smart and amaze us all the time!
Present time and the little girls want to help!
