Welcome to the World Marley!

We've had extremly exciting news this weekend...Brittney and Rick had their baby girl on Thursday in the early morning. They named her Marley Marie Dalton. She is just the sweetest little angel. My kid's werent able to see her at the hospital, but Brittney came to the house after the hospital and when I picked my kid's up from daycare, I told them we were going to go see their new baby cousin. Brielle was just beside herself. She walked into the house, and immediatly said Marleeeeey where are you. When she saw her she got a huge smile on her face and said, oh my gosh!! can i hold her? She was so proud of herself, and kept saying look how good im doing! The whole rest of the night she kept asking if she could hold Marley. And even when we went to a barbeque at a friend's house, she was still talking about cute baby Marley. She really was so good with the baby, and made sure her neck was ok and gave her lots of kisses and loves.

Aisley was also very excited about new cousin. I didn't think she would be too interested in the baby, but the second she saw her, she got a huge smile on her face and said baby! And then she saw Elli holding her and immediatly wanted to hold her too. She knew she needed help so she got up on my lap and we held her together, she kept giving her kisses over and over, and I had to watch closely because she kept wanting to touch her eyes and her mouth. She was so sweet with her and kept laughing and saying baby. But when we tried to take Marley away, she would start screaming and crying saying my baby, my baby! I said Aisley, this isnt a doll you have to let go. That part was a struggle, but it was such a sweet sight to see MY baby with her new cousin, and it made me see how big she is getting, she's not a baby anymore.

CONGRATS Daltons! We love you and are so happy for you and we are so excited about the new member of our family!

Fun times with great friends

My best friend Traylene invited Brandon and I to join her and her boyfriend Alex to a fun night at The Magic Castle. Brandon and I went there once before with my sister and we had so much fun, so we said of course we'll go! Plus I just love to spend time with Tray, I feel like I never get to as much anymore. When we got there, we watched this magician do card tricks, they were so cool, some of those things I wonder how they really are doing it. It doesn't make sense...we saw about three different shows, ate some yummy appetizers, talked, and had a great time together.

The couples in front of the magic castle, we werent allowed to take the camera inside so we snapped a few shots on our way out!

Whenever we are together, we take a ton of pictures, we are just goofy that way, and we had Alex and Bran taking the pictures, so they were making fun of us the whole time, and making us laugh so hard. So we made the boys get together and pose like we had been just to make fun of them... Its so fun to get together with friends!

Cousins and Park

My sister, Jessica and I took our kid's to the "duck park" to feed the ducks and to play on the playground, I also wanted to try to get a decent picture of the kid's. That part didn't turn out the greatest, its so hard to get a good picture of three little wiggle worms.

Brielle and Issac are such good little friends, they play together so well and both keep eachother in check, or at least try to. They had fun feeding the ducks together.

I snapped this picture, and thought it was so sweet!

My big girl, pretty Elli Jean! I can't even believe she's starting kindergarten in September. Time goes by so fast...thats why you gotta enjoy every second, and try not to sweat the small stuff!! She is so energetic, and fun, you just can't help but want to join her in whatever she's doing. She is always making friends anywhere we go. She will just go up to a little girl or boy and say hi friend, do you want to play, and off they go. I love my Boo bear and can't imagine my life without her sweet spirit.

haha, had to post that pic of Jess, there's a inside joke kinda with it, haha dont get mad jess :)

We love spending time with the Boyers, and are bummed that they moved down to La but are excited to go visit them alot, and have lots more fun memories...

Happy Graduation...

This summer, my baby sis, Keleny graduated from high school! Yay!! This girl has done so much in high school, its crazy, she was so busy all four years of high school. She was in Choir for 2years, she is so musically talented, she also plays the piano extremly well, and has played at school, church, recitals, she was interviewed and had her picture taken for the chino hills newspaper,

it was a good paragraph on her talent of playing the piano. She was in theater for 3 years, which were so fun to go and watch, Brielle absolutly LOVED wizard of oz, that's one of her favorite movies now. She also was the head of a hiking club, where they went to different hikes around southern california. She also kept her grades up, and plan's to go to a good college. Im very proud of my sis, and look up to her very much, always have and always will. She is so strong spirited and she is so strong in the church, she know's so much about scriptures, she is an amazing aunt, who does so many entertaining activities with them, swinging,park,walks, bike rides, trampoline, chase at the park, painting, writing letters, the list goes on and on. Sometimes I have to pry Brielle off of her when she needs to get something done. Anyways, I just want her to know that she is so loved, and a beautiful girl inside and out. CONGRATS KEL!!!

Best Friends

After graduation, before Grad night. Before this we told them their grad presents were that they got to go sky diving...

Pappy

As most of you know, last month we moved from Upland, living with Brandon's parents to Chino Hills, to live with my parents. It was sad leaving my inlaws house, (we have been there for 2 1/2 years), and they made me feel so welcome in their family and in their home. And I have to say, I have the most wonderful mother in law there is. I am truly blessed to have her in my life. She is one of the most caring, selfless persons that I have ever met. My kid's just love her so much and think the world of her. They adore their nana and papa. Luckily we only moved 20 minutes away, so we can still see them often.

On the other hand, it's fun to see our pappy and mum more often now. My sister and bro in law were living with them, while Rob goes to medical school, but now they are living in Los Angeles, while he goes to UCLA. Go ROB!!! My kid's are having alot of fun hanging out with their grandparents. Aisley always has had such a connection to her pappy and papa. She must find their hugs to be comforting, she is such a cuddler with both of them...

They also are lucky to have a pappy who has a motorcycle in the garage, which they both think is just amazing. Brielle is always asking my dad to give her a ride around the block, which he has done quite a few times, and boy, does she have the biggest smile on her face when shes on there with her pappy!

On this particular night, Issac, and Kel also wanted a turn too, and I tried to get Ayes on, but she wouldn't get near it, unless it was in the garage, turned off..

.

We love our family so much and are so grateful to be able to live so close to them and share fun times together!

Incredible Johns

In the beginning of Summer, we went out as a family to Incredible Johns Pizza co. Those of you who have never been there, it is swarming with kids, but it actually has a decent food buffet. So we like going there better than Chucke Cheese. The kid's favorite part of dinner of course was not the dinner, but dessert: ice cream cones! Dylan and Aisley were going at those ice cream cones, it was funny to watch them just get covered in ice cream, must be nice being a kid! Dont worry, we normally dont let Elli eat 2 ice cream cones at a time, she was just finishing off Aisleys.
And yes I did have to snap one of Bri and Brittney chomping down theirs as well...yummy, ice cream is my favorite, its actually kinda sad to say, but i think im addicted to it, i have a bowl every night, yikes!

Here's some family pictures

And here we have sleepy baby

After eating, we went over to the game area and played games for awhile. Well, the OLDER kids played one game. Its this jumping game where you have to jump over this light and you cant step on it, it goes faster and faster each time, it sounds so dumb, but it is so fun and addicting, we all did it like 5 times...
