San Diego Adventures















We had so much fun in San Diego. My only complaint is that our holiday break came to an end much too quickly. I loved spending time with family & dear friends. Once again we were totally spoiled not just with gifts but family time too. Dean & I were even able to go on a date. I was able to work on a project in the evenings when the kids went to sleep. Dean did some work for his mom & Dad & went over the plans for the addition he will be working on. This year is already proving to be a busy one. We have a case of the booger noses making it's rounds & I'm pretty sure Omri is trying to cut his first tooth. It's making for some sleepless nights. 

Even though we have started the year off with the yuckies I'm feeling very positive about the year ahead. We've chosen "Simplicity" as our family motto this year. Dean & I both feel an urgent need to simplify our lives. This means getting out of debt so we can follow the goals we have set for our family. There is so much chaos in the world right now. Our hope is that by slowing down & enjoying the simple things in life family, friends, faith, talents, healthy living, & living debt free, we can live fuller & happier lives. I'm very excited about the goals we've set as a family. What goals have you set for this year?

6 Months


Little Omri Oblio

6 Months! This little guy weighs almost 20 lbs. He's rolling all over the place and loves his bouncy seat. He's also eating rice cereal mixed with juice all the time now. I'm heading to the store tonight to buy a few jars of baby food. I plan making my own baby food. The jars will be used to store the pre made food easily in the fridge. We are having so much fun with this little guy. Love having a little man around the house.

Happy New Year!

Aris on Christmas Eve

Hope everyone had a magical Christmas Holiday! We sure did. I'm so excited to see what 2011 holds for our little family. I'll be sharing pictures of our adventures over the next few days. Right now I'm heading to bed. One of my new years resolutions is to get to bed earlier (a hard one for me) so off to bed I go! Can't wait to share some fun ideas I have in the works. Hugs to you all!

The Christmas Story



I found this via Design Moms blog & thought I'd share. It's pretty much adorable! We are having such a lovely time this holiday. Hope you are also.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!!

We left the snow & cold of Sparks & are enjoying the sunshine & warmth of San Diego. There's nothing better than being surrounded by family & lot's of yummy things to eat. To say we are having a blast would be an understatement. So far the girls have only opened Santa gifts. It's been nice to stagger the gift opening.

Last night Zoe lost her first tooth! We would have put it under the pillow for the tooth fairy but she accidentally swallowed it. Only Zoe would swallow her tooth, lol. All the kids feel asleep right away except Zoe. She was so excited about the Tooth Fairy & Santa coming to visit that could hardly handle it all. Thankfully the Tooth Fairy is one smart cookie & she knows when you've lost a tooth (even if you've swallowed it).

The only thing that would make this Christmas picture perfect is if I could see all my family in Florida. I miss them all so much. Hope you all have a wonderful & beautiful Merry Christmas. Hugs to you all!
