Courtney's Baby Shower

I hope everyone had a good time. Check out the PhotoStory I created with the pictures.

San Francisco

We were fortunate to join Sid on one of his business trips last week to San Fran. He says to me the day he is leaving, "If I have enough points on my Southwest account do you want to go with me?" 4 hours later we were on a plane to California. We visited all of the major tourist sites except Alcatraz, that was booked up for the next week, so if you ever make this trip, book that tour before you leave home. We also drove up the Pacific Coast Hwy to the Redwood Forest. The drive was gorgeous, cliffs, the pacific, lighthouses, small towns with white picket fences and beautiful landscaping.

Cabo

Here are some pics of our trip to Cabo in June. The girls were flower girls in Ruben and Tana's wedding. They did walk down the isle however we could not keep them quiet enough during the service, so we went outside with Diego (Ring Bearer).

We had a great time relaxing by the pool. The girls made friends quickly with Scout, who is also from Texas and is almost exactly one year older. She is in the last video dancing with the girls.

And of course there was fishing to be had too.

Nadia's New Haircut

I finally cut Nadia's hair. She has been giving me a hard time for a while now and I thought it was a phase, but she wore me down. She refused ponytails and requested braids only to pull it out. Very frustrating when trying to get out the door. So, here she is. I love it so much I want Aidan's done similar, but Sid likes her hair long, we'll see.

Easter and Blue Bonnets

Update

To date I am still at home, which continues to be a day to day blessing. Sid still works for KAP and is being treated very well there. We could not be more happy with this company. We joined the local "Y" late last year so we have been going there almost everyday. I get my workout and the girls get to play with other kids. The girls started gymnastics in January and are making me very proud. Aidan can do a backbend and Nadia can swing on the rings and hold her legs up in a straddle. This is pretty good considering they just started. I signed them up for soccer through the "Y". That does not start until next week, but I already know that they prefer to kick the basketball rather than learn to dribble and shoot it. For those of you that know me that is a disappointment ;-). Aidan is writing her name, albeit not putting all of the letters in the correct order though, this should come as no surprise as she colors very well also. And Nadia loves to do puzzles, we are not sure if she memorizes the pictures or is that good, but when she does it is impressive. Hope all is well with all of you, miss those of you we do not see often.

Dee, Nadia and Adian

I took these!!!

I took these before a Christmas dinner and I love them. I am very proud of how they turned out. And don't they look adorable!!!
