I must update!

I haven't updated on the kiddos for awhile. So lets see.

Jude is still the Dude. He is so mellow and such a great baby. He still has his moments but man did I luck out! We go next week for his 9 month apt. I will post his stats when we get home. He is now waving hi and bye it is super cute and I will upload a video of the first time he did it. I love firsts! He is all over the place! Climbing up the stairs going into drawers and always want's to be around his big sister Emelia. He has six teeth and is getting two new ones as we speak (or type) and he wants to bite everything!

Emelia is so fun! She is still in gymnastics and loves it! Her teacher is preparing her to move to the next level. So she has been doing her classes without mommy. It is so nice. I can sit on the side and watch. Every once in awhile during the class she will run over to me and give me a hug but I think she is doing well with the transition. We have been going to Disneyland alot lately now that I have the annual pass. I meet my sisters there with the kids. We only go for about 3 hours and come home. It is the perfect amount of time. Emelia really enjoys it. She actually went up to minnie mouse and took a picture with her the other day. What a great moment that was considering she has been so scared of characters. I need to slowely prepare her for our disney cruise in June.

Here is a video of some recent pictures and video.

I am closing the retail portion of my site.

It is really sad. I have worked really hard creating these wonderful shirt designs and getting the site up and running. But not all is lost! I am still going to continue to create beautiful and unique photo cards, and fun wall pop art. I have plans to take a few graphic design courses to really help improve in that area. I will be updating my site with all the new changes after feb 10th so please check back soon.

Thank you everyone for all your support!

Emelia's first Snow Adventure

This past weekend Emelia and I went to the snow with my sister Natalie, my brother-in-law Chris, my niece's Jessica and Lola, and Chris' sister Kim and her boyfriend Farbod. We left the boys back at home. The only thing that would have made the trip better was having Jarrod and Jude with us. Poor Jude was sick so I thought it would be best if he stayed behind. We rented a really cozy cabin in Big Bear Mountain. What a fun and exciting trip we had. Emelia ABSOLUTELY LOVED the snow. Her favorite thing I think was eating it and sliding in it, and of course spending time with family. My sister Rita, brother-in-law Rino and niece's Julianna and Daniella drove to big bear for the day and played in the snow with us too.

Here is a small video of Emelia playing in the snow for the first time.

Our Trip to Big Bear

Happy New Year!!

I hope everyone has a Happy and Healthy year!

One of my Favorite shops on etsy.

Hey Everyone. I wanted to post about this great etsy shop that I have found and have come to love. I recently purchased the most adorable loafer booties for Jude. Jenel the crafter is wonderful. She is very creative and created these amazing hats for the kids.
