i LOVE traditions! one tradition that i had growing up was at christmas eve, we would have a big dinner with some unique food that was out of the ordinary...the ball was rolled to este this year and he did great...he chose lobster and grilled them on wooden planks. yeeeaaahhh. the "test" planks went up in a big fire...the ones that counted worked!


my contribution:)

photo fun!


a day with my BABY!

BABY...this time, meaning my darling hubby, esteban...commonly referred to as...well, we wont go through all of the names:)
since it has been so long since i have posted, i will post a few different blogs...so we'll start back a few weeks ago. (about a week before christmas)
esteban and i had to take my brother to the airport in the desert b/c he was going to wisconsin for christmas. that morning we woke up and este's parents called and asked if they could have peppy for the day...soooo...we gladly obliged them :)
after dropping billy off, we decided to do some christmas shopping at costco before we went and did a few things for work that we had in the desert. when we got to costco, we were walking into the massive entrance and i heard a lady talking to a man and she said, "the late great planet earth." i initially thought in my head, "oh, she must be a christian." and then i looked and i saw that she was talking to, none other but HAL LINDSEY himself (the author...and well, we are a big fan of his tv show, too) my heart started racing as i tried to explain to esteban my discovery. we went inside the store and waited for him to come in. when he entered i said, "hello Hal lindsey!" (as if i needed to prove to him that i knew his last name!) he shook our hands and said hello and God bless. then este asked if i could get a picture with him (with my phone...which totally didnt come out good but you can still tell that it's hal) he agreed and put his arm around me. did i mention my heart was just pounding the whole time?!
well este and i were in the store for, what seemed like a year, and towards the end of our field trip through costco, we spotted hal again. heehee. we started looking at his buggy...yes, i said buggy, to see what all he was getting. sure enough, he started to turn around towards us and we quickly hid ourselves as we walked the other way. stalker? i dont think so!
after our shopping trip, and some work, we decided to make our trek back to murrieta, to pick up our belle and go to some friends' house. este decided to take me the back way where he had recently saw some snow. i gladly submitted and we went on our way:)
we were driving through the mountain on a 2 lane road, chatting it up, when este goes, "whoooa" and the car heading toward us was fish tailing. este pulled to the side and as soon as it passed us, we looked back and it totally flipped! i was FREAKING out as este reversed the car. as the car was flipping back up, i saw that the passenger's window was open and his arm was kinda out of it. reminder: i get light headed with splinters! este, being the man he is, jumped out of the car and checked on them. there was a lil blood and they were in shock but other than that, they were alright. yikes! what a trip to go on to NOT EVEN SEE A LICK OF SNOW....it must have melted...uh huh!
we had such a wonderful day together, brought back lots of memories of before peppy's time...however this time, we had a little treasure to look forward to seeing.
hanging out with some pals after our return (notice that ken and ISABELLE both have remotes!)

and now...she's almost 8 months...

Shoulda stayed on top of it
Lack of motivation was not the issue
Although i probably coulda squeezed it in
Cant lie about that one, where's a tissue?
Karaoke (is that really the only word that starts with a k?)
Evidently it is,
Really hope this blog portrays that PEP's our sunshine, actually the ray.
yup, i've been somewhat of a slacker when it comes to blogging. i've been busy but that sure doesnt mean that baby is not growing like crazy...especially in her personality!
my parents came up for a visit during thanksgiving and the girls are just crazy about them. i'm always hearing "tia!" come from olivia throughout the day. HOWEVER, when gamma and pops visit...not one tia was heard!
isabelle is a crackup! should i just list the "newbies" for this month???
*she rolls from her tummy to her back (este and i were playing with her on the floor and i was letting her butt dry out without a diaper and she seemed to feel so free! well she was movin all around -goin in circles- and she flipped from her belly to her back. well, at first it seemed so normal that i didnt say anything. then i looked up at este and said "is that the way that she cant go? and he said "yeah!" then we clapped and she clapped too and she's been doin it ever since. our gumption tells us she's been secretly doin it in bed for a while :))
*she claps
*she is a dance-a-holic (yesterday us girls were having a dance party in the living room to some wonderful christmas music and she shoulda been flying as hard as she was flapping her arms...will get this on video for yall!)
*she signs MORE...it is soooo cool to see her communicating...other than crying!
*she has been eating bits of table food and therefore not too into babyfood. im telling myself that our goal is to get her on our food...so that's okay!
*her feet are ticklish. this morning i was takin her foot, as she watched very closely. i would rub my finger up her foot as she would flinch and we would look at each other and smile/giggle!
*she gets extremely distracted while i nurse , seems to not be very interested...too bad baby...ya got a few more months of me!
*she drinks pretty well from the bottle
*she loves to brush her teeth
*she still loves her bath. yesterday she didnt want to get out so i left her in there to get a lil more wrinkly!
*she fake coughs ...that's awesome!
*she finds the cat hilarious!
*she is no longer scared of deep voiced men:) (so it seems)
*she's a hit in the nursery!
this is what i can think of right now. i hear her in her crib just talkin away so i better go snag her. if i wait to put pics up, you might never get this. hopefully pics will be coming soon!
