Bethany's Baby Shower

We celebrated Bethany's Baby Shower on Sunday. She is surrounded by wonderful friends and family that are so excited to meet Baby Sheehan, as they have not picked a name yet.

All the ladies outside while the men were playing poker in the garage.

We had so much fun playing games and watching Bethany open gifts. Baby Sheehan is going to be a very well loved boy.

Tis The Season

This Christmas was very special to me. It is the first Christmas in over 10 years where our entire family has gotten together. My Brother Chris and his wife Bodell along with Presley flew here from Colorado. Nik & Shannon and Grandma Ward all came in from Ventura and Grandma Michaud came in from Michigan. It was amazing to have Cash and Presley together for Christmas.

My Brother Chris turned 30 on Christmas Day. The entire family was able to celebrate this milestone.
My Mom, Grandma Michaud, Chris, Bodell, Presley, Cash, Geoff and I all went to church Christmas Eve. It was an amazing service. We love dressing the kids up in their Sunday's Best. After church the kids decorated cookies for Santa.

Cash and Presley are in the kissing phase...There was plenty of wet smooches going around no one was deprived.

Nana's Babies

My Mom has wanted nothing more for Christmas then to have both her Grandkids with her on Christmas...Lucky girl, She got what she asked.

Cash 15 Months - Presley 14 Months

Boat Parade

Our family participates in the Huntington Beach Boat Parade. Steve decorates his boat with lights and we tour the harbor. It is spectacular to see the homes and huge boats all done up in different themes each year. We took the boat our two times this year. Once with Lynne and her girls and then other time with my family. Cash loved being on Grampa's boat and seeing the other boats all light up. It's a wonderful tradition I am happy he gets to grow up experiencing.

Fun at Nana's

I some times get bummed out that I have to work and Cash doesn't get to stay with me all day. Then I remember, he's with my Mom...Who could be better then me?

I wouldn't receive these little gems in my email and these pictures would have never been taken...It makes me working worth it, well not really but I keep telling myself that.

Almond Roca

Every year we make Geoff's Mom's amazing Almond Roca. Cash was able to participate this year. He thought he was such a big boy holding his wooden spoon "helping" Daddy stil the roca until it gets to just the right tempature. It was so cute to see them in the kitchen, Linda would have loved it.

Patience

Cash has never been entertained by the TV. Believe me, I have tried and tried for cleaning sake to get him to sit and watch something. However, we bought a few $5 movies at target for the future. He loved the Bee movie. He was really paying attention and reacting, it was so cute. FINALLY he is mellowing out.
