Ahh the weekend.

We had an awesome weekend this week!! Friday we just lounged at home and watched a movie. Then Saturday we went shopping at this outlet mall in LA called The Citadel. It was huge! We only made it through about half of it. Then we drove down to the beach. We played for awhile but it was freezing so we decided to take a drive and explore. We ended up on Balboa island which was so cool. We will definitely be going back there to explore more. We were sitting in the car, because it was raining, watching an amazing sunset. Then we noticed people kept stopping by our car and taking pictures of something behind us. So we got out and looked and saw this beautiful rainbow!I haven't seen one of those in a long time. Heres a pic of Preston and I being silly!! We had tons of fun and now onto a busy week!!

Let them eat......

CAKE!!

I have been playing around with cake lately. This is just a chocolate cake. I just bought a box mix because it was the fondant I really cared about. I like the way the flower turned out!! My next project is marshmallow fondant. I will probably be working on that tomorrow so I will let you all know how it goes!!

We are back! Well I am at least. I am back with very good intentions of blogging more. So stay tuned!

Whew!!

Well life around here has been crazy as usual!!! After we came home from our trip to California, about a month ago, Preston got sick. It seemed to be just a bad cold that lasted about a week and then he got better. Izzy then got a small cold and was over it quick. Well then about 3 weeks ago Lysander got sick. He had a nasty cough so I took him to the E.R. and he was diagnosed with croup. We took him home and started treating him but 3 days later he was only getting worse. So I took him to his doctor and he was diagnosed with strep throat. He was on antibiotics for 10 days, saw a little improvement, and then got worse. Sooo I took him back to the doctor and they tested him for strep again, said he still had it and put him on new medicine. Well he only got worse from there. So three days later I took him back to the doctor. The doctor looked him over a little and said she was going to send us to the E.R. Yikes!!! We got to the E.R. and they ran a bunch of tests and said they though it may be pneumonia but they were going to transfer him to a different hospital and admit him!! It was sooo scary. Here he is on the ambulance gurney. He was so brave! Well after another night and day in the hospital he was diagnosed with parainfluenza which is a virus that causes upper and lower respiratory infections. There is no cure but he is doing so much better all ready. But now it looks like Emma is coming down with it. Ughhh no rest for the mommy!! So that is what I have been doing for the last 3 weeks. Taking care of sickies. Oh not to mention I got it about 2 weeks ago and am still suffering but God has mercy and I am still keeping up!!

Beautiful For Me

This song is so amazing. Thanks Whitney for sharing. It made me cry. This is so how I want to teach my little girls to see themselves, through Gods eyes!!

Catching up!!

It has been forever since I have blogged. I had such good intentions but as always life has been crazy!! Preston got laid off from his job 3 weeks ago. We knew it was coming so it wasn't to bad. We decided to take a celebratory trip so we headed to Disneyland!!!! It was a blast. We are now headed off on a new career path that has tons of potential. We are just praying like crazy it works out! Isabella had her 5th birthday. She had a blast as usual. Now we are preparing to celebrate Emmas 3rd birthday and Lysanders 1st!! Wow how time flies. Here are some pics of my sweet treasures.All Three Crazies!!
