Old fashion puppet show

So at Gymboree they had a couple parties. This one I missed because the twins were sick, so Abe took Abby. It was a old fashion puppet show, with string dolls and everything. Abe said it was great and the kids LOVED IT!!!! I love the idea of bringing something we don't see that often back, and seeing the way the children love it the same as back in the days! She had a blast with all her friends as you can see in the pictures they are all sitting with full attention.

The twins in their new cars.

So here are the babies in their new cars........

Freddys first black eye.

Ok.....so is this what I am in for????? I swear IT IS a boy thing. Freddy just in the past 48 hours has managed to try and stand at our end table, fell forehead first giving him a huge bump right between the eyes. Then tried to stand at his crib and went down face first again and had a little red mark on his face. Then the big one was him standing at their changing table and missing and hitting his face AGAIN and now has a black eye...............

The poor guy is sooooo easy going he crys for about 15 seconds then just goes on his way. I am worried about him, he is a danger to himself. Meanwhile little Maddy is so cautious she rarely hurts herself, unless bubby hurts her while playing she never gets hurt. Yet my poor little guy always has some mark on him. I'm scared to see him at 10 yrs old, ughhhhhhhh!!! BUT he sure is handsome :-)

Christmas cookies..

So we go to my brothers to decorate cookies and Abby had a great time. She loves to load the frosting and sprinkles on the cookies BUT will not eat them. She does not like cookies really, it is very funny.

Here is my mom, my nephews Michael, Matthew and Abby. It is cute Matthew is always huggin on Abby, they are great buddies.

Here is my mom with all the kids.......they had alot of fun.

Christmas party at Gymboree

So we took the kids to their Christmas party at Gymboree, they ahd alot of fun, we sang, played and hung out with our friends. The babies loved eating their bells.... I was disappointed with the Santa pictures, not the Santa he was really good but the backround was not what I hoped for. It was nice though because Santa gave the kids a gift (Abby wanted June from Little Einsteins).

So needless to say I need to take them to another Santa for better pictures. I usually always go to South Coast Plaza, but I think I am going to take them to Victoria Gardens since we live down the street from there, plus everyone says they make it snow so I want to take them to see that as well. Abby did really good this year, she like Santa.

Bubby did great too, he did not mind at all. He is so handsome!!

Now lost her mind, she was so beside herself, I could not get her off his lap fast enough........I think you always have at least 1 picture like this with your kids. I think they are great and can't wait for them to see them when they grow up!

Long time no blog...........

These are some pictures of the kids that I have not blogged about so I thought I would share them now........ Here is Abby

TWILIGHT.............................................

OK, NEED i SAY MORE?!!!!!!!!!!!! i'M SURE WE ALL SAW IT, IF YOU DID NOT DON'T READ THIS.


OOHHHH MMYYYYYYYY GGOOOSSSHHHHHHH.
OK LET ME EXPLAIN, I SPOKE WITH A FRIEND (EVIE) WHO SAW IT THE NIGHT BEFORE I DID AND SHE WAS NOT WANTING TO EVEN GIVE ME A HINT IF SHE LIKED IT OR NOT. WELL PUSH AS I DO SHE FINALLY TOLD ME SHE WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE ACTING, OK I CAN LIVE WITH THAT. IT DID NOT RUIN MY EXPERIENCE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I WENT WITH ABE AND MY BROTHER AND HIS WIFE WHO I GOT TO READ THE BOOKS AS WELL.

WE WENT AND SAW IT AND I REALLY FELT THE SAME WAY EVIE DID ABOUT THE ACTING, BELLA NEEDS SOME CLASSES TO BE HONEST. I THOUGHT IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND EXCITING AND LOVED BELLA AND EDWARD TOGETHER. OF COURSE SOMETHINGS BOTHERED ME BUT FOR THE MOST PART I "LIKED" IT.

OK ONTO THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WAS SEEING IT WITHFIVE OTHER GIRLS WHO READ IT...................................................omg I"LOVED" IT THIS TIME, BELLA STILL NEEDS SOME ACTING CLASSES BUT I LOVED IT. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. ESP WHEN THE NEXT ONE COMES OUT AND I GET TO SEE JACOB MORE.....I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A JACON FAN BUT I AM REALLY STARTING TO LOOVVVEEEE EDWARD!

Oh my goodness, all I have to say is "Twilight" is here, it's finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am going tomorrow first showing with Abe my brother and his wife
then I am going with about 4 other friends on sunday.................Evie and
her friends rented a movie theater to see it, crazy huh. All I have to say
is THANK YOU SO MUCH EVIE FOR BUGGING, AND MAKING ME
READ THIS BOOK!!!!!. I'm so excited you would think I was a kids going
to Disneyland for the first time, geez get a hold of yourself......................

Halloween 2008

Halloween 2008, we went Trick or treating with our friends but just to stores. No house to house this year. The kids were Wizard of Oz: Abby Dorothy, Freddy the Lion and Maddy Glinda the good witch. We did our dress up for Gymboree too......more later.

Julie's stuff

Ok, now I am really stressed...........

So I have been so busy that I have not had a chance to blog. With moving, and now looking for Pre-schools for Abby! Part of me was sooo excited about this process but NOW.......I am really stressed. I don't think I am goin to find a place that I feel has everything I am looking for: Friendly staff, CLEAN, seeing the other children being taken care of while doing a walk thru, FENCES high enough,
SECURITY, bathrooms etc. I could go on and on but I know you have all gone thru this before me.

I don't know what to do, just keep her home is what I am thinking!!! I was very interested in a Christian pre-school but the one here said she had to assist her self COMPLETELY with the restroom, and she is not about to with #2. That is the problem Abe and I both said we did not want her to go until she could completely be understood when talking and explain things to us and when she does not need assistance in the restroom! Now here we are and she is not completely at both of these milestone like we wanted? I just feel extremely overwhelmed with the whole thing right now, why can't she just stay home with me forever??????

Long time......

Ok.....aside from the fact that I have been addicted to the Twilight books for about a month now and find it hard to not spend any minute of the day I can to just want to read!!!!! I am on the 3rd book about 200 pages till the end. (It's killing me) that everyone has read the 4th and final book and I am the only one that has not :-( But the main reason I have not blogged in so long is because our computer is just breaking down on us big time!!!!!! If I try to post pictures or X out of any sites it just kicks me off...uuugghhh. I am so upset with this thing, I want to just throw it out the window.

Anyways so that is why I have not had the chance to blog about our summer: we went to Arizona for a visit with Evie, went to Disneyland and did some other fun stuff that as soon as I get a new computer I will blog about them. We have to get one very soon, just dreading having to spend the money, I so loved my laptop. Anyways I will keep checking all the blogs I love and will be up and running as soon as I can. Take care all.

Abbys 3rd birthday party

So here is the big day.......we had Abby's birthday party at Pump It Up. I don't know if any of you have been here but it is great. It is costly but I think now that I have been there I can decide on which room I want longer. First they have you go to the first arena for 40 minutes, then the next arena for 40 minutes then last the party room for 40 minutes. The whole party is private so you and your guests are the only ones in the arenas and party room. Down side is once you are in the party room you only have 40 minutes to eat, do the cake and the presents....so we felt very rushed in the party room. Next time we will ask for longer in there and shorter in arena. All in all it was a great time with family and friends. This top picture is of Abby and her friends coming down one of the slides.

Climbing up.........

Coming down with cousin Michael....yahhhhhhh

My nephew Michael in the boxing jumpy..... Vicki and I got in there and boxed, that was sooooo funnny the whole party stopped to watch. Of course I beat her!!!

Abe and I before all the fun started.

My aunt Barbara Jean with the twins. I did not hold them the whole time, they were in someone arms constantly.

Here is my old boss Cory. I was a nanny for her triplets. Here is Kendall with her....can you believe I started taking care of them when they were 2 months old!!

Here I am with my first babies....LOL. Grant, Kelly and Kendall.

Here are out good friends Vicki and Dan. Their kids are Abby's best friends.

Our family friends Corrine and Adriene. Abby plays with their son Taylor.

Here is Barb feeding Freddy, my grandma and my moms best friend Valarie.

Here is one of my oldest friends Wendy, we have been friends since the 6th grade....geez thats along time.

Here is Abby in the party room, they have this chair for her to sit in. She did not like it too much.

Here is her cake, most of you know I do cakes.... I was sooo excited to do this Wizard of Oz cake and she llloooovvveeeddd it. It turned out great!!!

Here she is opening presents..... we were soooo rushed.

Here she is with one of the presents my brother got her......a Pet Shop. He always picks out great gifts!

Here is Vicki with Freddy.... they love each other, it is very sweet.

The party room is pretty big this is only half of it, the adults were on the other side.

And last but not least the whole gang...........what a fun day!!! Look closely you can see the triplets holding my babies, it made me want to cry they are soo big now. Now I can take a breather until Christmas.

Abby is 3.......

Sooo here is Abigail Elise on her 3rd birthday. I made her a special Mickey mouse pancake with blueberry face. She loved it. We did not do anything during the day because I knew daddy would take her to Chuckie Cheese when he got home.

I would normally make her cake BUT Abe loves to buy certain things for her and this is one of them. He went after work to get her Princess cake with balloons and flowers like he does every year. He even got her Princess plates and napkins, she loved them. They went to Chuckie Cheese to play and he bought her another Chuckie doll, I don't know any other child that likes the actual Chuckie so much they play with the doll..... but she does. Then we sang and had cake, then off to bed for her big birthday party the next day.

Swimming at uncle Caseys

Ok, big day of swimming for all. We went to my brothers and had a swim and BBQ day. Lots of fun, but everyone was very tired at the end of the day!! Here is Abe and Abby, this is her new lifejacket. She did not like it to much she wanted it off!

Here she is, she forgot her sunglasses.

She has most fun with her cousins Michael and Matthew, Michael is the BEST big cousin. Very protective of Abby and the babies.......

Abby with big uncle Cas, Michael and Matthew.

Here is Abe with the babies in the new cars.....LOL. They LOOVVVEEDD these things, they layed in them and just were so relaxed I loved it!!!!!

Thank goodness this is only my head showing........ anymore would scare ya, LOL.

Oh my Maddy girl so relaxed, this is right before the thumb hit her mouth and out she went..............

This picture makes me laugh, he is coughing. This is the only one I got so it will have to do. I know it looks like he is about to spit up but he was just coughing. LOL

Such a nice day then we ate chicken and tri-tip, shrimp and pasta salad. Mind you my brother made all of it!!!! Such a great housewife :-)

Then out she went, she slept there a good 45 minutes until we got out of the pool.

Big boy as well....... he was sooo out. Kids would accidentally splash them both and they still did not wake up. I need to take them swimming more often.
