3 Year Anniversary Celebration

January 20th, 2009

For Our 3 year anniversary Juan was out of town. He got home on January 20th, so only 2 days late, better late than never though. He surprised me and didn't tell me when he was coming home. Leyna and I were out doing some errands and when we got home I walked in and saw a beautiful fruit basket, from edible arrangements, by the door. I stood there and paused for a second wondering how that got there cus I was expecting Juan to be home at all and his truck wasn't anywhere to be seen. Then I saw him come around the corner from the living room. I was so excited to see him. I put Leyna down for a nap and we got to share some of the delicious fruit from the basket together. That evening we went out to eat at PF Changes. The best Chinese food! Of course little miss Leyna came along with us, she's our little sidekick, we're not complete without her.

Thanks Baby for a great day and a wonderful many years together! I love you!

Another Cousin

Sydney Brooke Olsen

January 16, 2009 at 6:41 am

8lbs 8oz. 21inches

Leyna has another cousin! They are gonna be such good friends when they get older. They are only 7 months apart. My sister Brooke had her baby, Sydney Brooke Olsen, on January 16 at like 6:40 am. We got a call at like 5am that Brooke was dilated to a 5cm and it would probably have her in a few hours, later in the morning. Well, I was so anxious I couldn't go back to sleep. I wanted to make sure I would be there to be part of the birth and be able to take pics for them. I laid in bed debating whether or not I should just get up and get ready. I was home alone with Leyna and I didn't want to wake her up if I didn't have to. Well 7am rolled around and Eric called. I thought he was calling to tell me it would be soon, but instead he was telling me that she already had her! I was soooooo bummed!!! I thought he was joking at first, but then I heard a baby crying in the background. I guess it came all of a sudden. Brooke could feel the Sydney coming out and there wasn't any doctors in the room so Eric had to run out to get someone in there. The epidural didn't take at all so Brooke was in a LOT of pain. They say it was like a movie when the wife is screaming and yelling. Pretty funny now, but probably not at the moment for either of them. Right after Eric called I got my poor sleeping baby up and ran to the hospital. Well, Sydney is a cute chubby baby with a head full of hair. Here's some pics while we were there.

Poor sleepy baby. She usually doesn't wake up until like 9am, so 7am is really early for her.

Proud mommy and daddy. Relieved it's all over...=)

Leyna and Alaura playing at the hospital. Can't wait til all three of the girls are playing together.

A Day at the Park

January 6, 2009
We went to the park with Juan's family and Alaura came with us. It was kinda chilly outside, but not cold enough to keep us inside. We just got all bundled up. Leyna loves the swing! She was not so crazy about the slide. She would just chill in the swing. I think she would have fallen asleep if we left her in longer.

She thought it was pretty neat going down the slide with mommy

Another trip down the big slide with her tia Izzy.

We love the Park

Brooke and Baby Sydney's Baby Shower

Brooke's Friend, Amanda, and I put together a Baby Shower for Brooke. After lots of works it was done and it turned out really well. Here's some pics

Chocolate Fountain. Yummy! These things are so awesome and great for entertaining!

Can you tell Alaura had been eating chocolate? =)

Eeeww!!! What's that?!?!

Not gonna be the only child for much longer...

So excited to see Baby Sydney!

Sleepover

In the beginning of January Leyna had her first sleepover with her cousin Alaura. They had a lot of fun together. We took Alaura off her mom's hands so she could get some sleep. She was 8 1/2 months pregnant and really needed a break. It was fun having Alaura over. The girls just love each other!
