one. one. one one...

It seems like yesterday it was just turning 2010. This year has really flown by. It's so true as we get older they seem to go faster and faster. I'm excited for a New Year though. It always feel like a fresh start.
Happy New Year!

Brian's 18th Birthday

Brian turned 18 today. To celebrate we took him, his girlfriend and two of his friends to The Yard House for dinner. I got there before he did so I let the waitress know we were celebrating a birthday. Of course as soon as he got there he said don't mention my birthday it's embarrassing when they sing to you. Hehe I said ok I won't. So when they came with the dessert he about died. It was a good night. Every year I can't believe how all the kids are growing up so fast. The years just seem to fly by.

Christmas 2010

This morning started off very early for us with a wake up from Alexys at 4:30 A.M. to let us know Santa had come. After several times of coming into our room to tell us what he had brought her. She then decided to wake Samantha up at 5 A.M. to let her know Santa had come. It was so cute listening to them by the tree playing with their toys. At 6 we asked Alexys to wake up Brian to open gifts. I think we were all back in bed by 8:30 for a morning nap. Our friends and neighbors the Johnson's invited us over for a delish Christmas dinner. Christina always does a great job. Her house is so cutely decorated too! We played a dice game called  LCR. Merry Christmas to you all!

Coronado Holiday Cup

Alexys has joined a club soccer team. The girls had their first tournament this weekend in Coronado. It is so beautiful there. The houses are amazing and the soccer fields are all so nice. The girls played 3 games. 2 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday. Alexys scored a total of 4 goals. They place 2nd in their bracket but didn't make it to playoffs. Not bad for only playing 2 weeks together. The best thing is two of her besties are on her team. Good times!

Christmas with Mom and Martin

Our Christmas was a little different this year. Since I have gone back to work at Costco and couldn't take time off. Mom and Martin came out the weekend before Christmas to celebrate. We opened presents the night they came into town since it was my only night off. The girls love when Gramma comes to visit. Every year she gets the girls new pj's and a Christmas ornament. Last year Alexys got her own tree in her room to hang all her ornaments on. When Sam is old enough she will get her own too.

Samantha's 3rd Bday

Samantha turned 3 this year. I can't believe how fast she is growing. She talks up a storm. Loves to talk on the phone. She is potty trained, which is really nice! Knows her colors. Can count to 14. Loves Dora, Diego, Wonder Pets and Mickey Mouse Club House. We had some family over to celebrate with her. She was so excited.
