A New Year

I'm finding it hard to believe that it's 2010 already! I remember being a child and figuring out how old we (my brother & sister and I) would be in the year 2000 & here we are 10 years later! Thinking about it on New Years day, I realized that I have now lived in 5 different decades!!! Could that be possible? Yep it sure is! That makes me feel old... and sound a whole lot older than I actually am! Weren't we supposed to have flying cars and robots doing all our cleaning and dress in aluminum foil and things like that? Of course who would have guessed 30 years ago that most everyone would be walking around with a small phone that you could take with you? However now that almost everyone has one, it's hard to remember what like was life with out them, and if we don't have it on us for any reason we feel lost!

Now that we have entered a new year and a new decade, I look at my children and wonder what things are going to be like for them in 30 years! It's hard to imagine!

Victoria is now 8 (I can hardly believe it), but she is already starting to act like a teenager (God help me)! She is so smart, gets great grades, and her teacher loves having her in class. She is such an amazing child! She has told me that she wants to play soccer again this year, after taking 2 seasons off and has even been going with Jason and doing some training with him! She definitely has some potential as a goalkeeper and her height will be great for that! She still loves to sing and where my parents live they have a monthly karaoke night and she LOVES to sing there! She amazes me every single day!

Micah is 2 1/2 and all boy! He is funny beyond belief and so compassionate! When he's upset he tells you "I sad" and puts his head down and looks dejected! If he's crying he also lets you know that by telling you... "I cry"! He loves all of his sisters! He loves to look at pictures and tell you who everyone is, and when asked who he is, rather than say "Micah" he says "Mine"! I think he thinks that's his name! For Christmas we all got passes to Disneyland so we have taken him a few times and he loves it! There's nothing like taking a 2 year old to Disneyland! It's like seeing the park for the first time!

Allurabella is 9 months old already! I can't believe where the time has gone! She says a few things, "Ma-ma", and "Hi", but "Da-da" is far and away her favorite word! Two nights ago she took her first steps. I missed them, she walked to Jason. Yesterday I got to see her walk 4 steps - again to Jason! She is quickly becoming a Daddy's girl, and Jason is loving every minute of it!

I can't believe how quickly all of my kids are growing! It makes me happy and sad at the same time, but they are all healthy and happy and I never knew that 3 small people could make me so happy that I feel like my heart will explode! I can't wait to see what they will do next!

Allurabella Diane & updates on the kiddos!

I haven't updated this at all, but I'm going to try to be better about it.

On March 20, 2009 at 10:34, Jason & I welcomed our beautiful baby girl Allurabella Diane into the world. She is absolutely perfect. She weighed 7lbs, 2 ozs, and was 19 1/2 inches long. We came up with her name because we just couldn't agree on one. Jason has always wanted to name his daughter Allura, because he loved that name, but I didn't like it alone. There were a few names that I liked, and Isabella was one of them, and I love Bella as a nickname. Since we couldn't agree, we decided to put the names together. Jason mostly calls her Allura, and I go back and forth. I call her Bella mostly, but sometimes Allura, sometimes All, Bells, there are a lot of nicknames. She's so beautiful that her name totally fits her! She's already smiling, and I can just hold her and smile at her and talk to her and she just smiles these big smiles at me! I haven't caught it on the camera yet, but I will! I just can't get enough of her!

Today I took her to the Dr, for her well baby check up. She is now 9lbs 9ozs and 22 1/2 inches long. That puts her in the 90th percentile for her weight, and the 75th for her height! She's already such a big girl!

Micah has been such a good big brother! He loves to kiss her and tries to hold her! He's starting to talk so much more! He knows several signs: milk, more, please, thank you, all done, and he tries to do I love you. Sometimes he actually tries to say the words too. A couple weeks ago I shaved Jason's head for him and we decided to shave Micah's too! It looks so incredibly cute! He loves to play soccer. He's going to be so good at it. He already has a good grasp on what he's supposed to do, and loves to have a ball around as much as possible. When he's not playing with a ball, he's got his cars! Everything is a road! He will be 2 years old next month! I can't believe how fast time goes by! He's such a little lover too! He's very attached to both his Daddy and me!

Victoria is 7 years old and in the 1st grade. She just started reading the first Harry Potter book! She is just so smart! Last month she was student of the month! I'm so proud of her. She's getting so tall, I can't even keep up with her growth! She's looking more and more like me all the time too! My parents live in a new community that has a "Lodge" and they do Karaoke once a month. Victoria has decided that she LOVES it! The first time we went she and my sister sang "Don't go Breaking my Heart". She was such a hit! The last two times she's sang "Dancing Queen"! It's amazing to watch all the people there listen to her sing. They just love her! I'm so proud of her!

My kids amaze me everyday! Keep coming back to see what amazing things they do next!

Welcome!

Hello! I decided to make a blog because, well, everyone else is doing it! Ok, not really, it just looked like fun! So here is my blog, where I have no clue what I'm going to talk about, because really I don't have anything interesting to say, but I'll try to keep it updated with information about my kids and what is going on in our lives!!! Hope you enjoy it!
