Birthday Time

Yep I am another year old...YAH!!!!!  Seriously time needs to slow down cause I remember turning 16 like it was yesterday and now I am celebrating my 29th birthday for the 3rd time.  I will let you all figure out the math on that one haha. 

I had a wonderful birthday this year.  I started the day off watching my two beautiful nieces receive their 100 mile club award, then headed to get my toes done which turned into getting nails put on, then lead to lunch with a bottle of wine haha.  After nap time from the bottle of wine (I did split this with my mom)  I headed off to my sisters for Vinci's Spaghetti which is a family tradition.  I had a wonderful time with my family I got some great birthday presents too.

New nails and the bottle of wine hahaha

Thanks momma for the wonderful cupcakes....I loved them all

Someone is ready to blow out my candles!!

Well of course birthdays are not finished until you have a girls night out to celebrate.  The following day I met up with my besties for a little cocktails and some yummy cheesecake to celebrate.  I also received some wonderful gifts.  Finishing my birthday week I headed off to Disneyland with Gavin to celebrate with him.  Of course we had way too much fun together and I ended up buying him a toy even though we were celebrating me hahaha.  I would rather buy him something just to see the excitement on his face.

I am so thankful for all of my family and friends in my life.  I can not begin to tell you how blessed I am to have you all in my life.  Thank you for celebrating with me........love you all so very much.  Cheers to many many more birthday's together!!

Last T-Ball Game

Last weekend Gavin had his last T-Ball game.  I actually was pretty sad cause he had a great time playing and he had learned so much.  The kids on both teams actually played pretty well on their own.  The kids needed a little push here and there but did very well.  Can't wait to see him play again.  I loved the league he played for, I am gonna sign him up for soccer and basketball so stay tuned for those photos. 

Gavin I am so proud of you, you did a great job playing baseball I can't wait for you to get older and kick some real butt.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day

 

 

I want to start off this blog by thanking my wonderful mother for all she has done for me.  I have only been a mother for a few years now but in just these few years my eyes have been open to everything a mother does for their child.  Mom thank you thank you thank you for putting up with me hahaha.  But I have to say I am so blessed to be able to be a mother and I will take everything motherhood brings me.  I love my little man so much I can not begin to tell you.  He truly is my life and I have not loved and will not love and enjoy anything more. 

 

This year we changed things up a bit and headed off to a wonderful restaurant....Orange Hill.  This is actually the place I got married which made Mother's Day even that much special.  They have amazing food and a view to die for.  We had an amazing lunch and of course a wonderful time just spending time as a family. 

 

 

Why I get to celebrate this day!!

She is having a......!!!!!!!!!!

One of my bestest friends Mandi is finally pregnant with her 1st little bundle of joy and we all couldn't be any more excited for her.  She has been trying for over a year or so and it has finally happen for them.  So instead of the traditional way of just letting everyone know what you are having like a phone call, text or announcement, Mandi decided to have a Gender Reveal Party where all of her close family and friends get together and the sex of the baby will be revealed.  Well of course Mandi put another spin on this party........she didn't even know the sex of the baby ONLY I DID!!!!!!

Ok so lets start from the beginning......So Mandi was  planning this party in the theme of pink and mint.  Everything was a girl color and a boy color. We did different desserts in the mint and pink, tissue poms, table cloths you name it which all came together to make an amazing dessert table which was the center of the party and then we made the secret box. This box was to hold the color balloons in which the sex of the baby was gonna be and she was to open it in front of everyone and find out when everyone else found out. So for weeks we were getting everything together and made.

Last Monday was the day.....the day she had the ultrasound to find out the sex....Well ok the day I was to find out the sex.  The ultrasound technician turned off all monitors so Mandi and Anthony could not see, she found the sex and printed it onto a few ultrasound pictures then sealed it into on envelope and handed it straight to me.  Mandi and Anthony were still able to see a few profile views but not the exciting part on knowing if it was a boy or a girl.

 

 

OMG this past week has been the hardest week for me......I was holding a secret that every mother to be really wants to know which is what am I having haha.  But the week did fly by pretty fast and before you know it we were setting up for the party and only being a few hours away from the reveal.  Below are a few pictures of the party....

 

Box is filled and ready for reveal....

Ok so it was about time for the reveal.....we got everyone into place and I was getting the box ready.  I placed the box where everyone could see and was pulling the tape off so all they had to do was lift each side of the lid and out come the balloons......I was so stressed the balloons were gonna be popped or stuck haha I made Adam practice at home when I was putting the balloons in the box at home before we sealed it....I think we opened the box like 20 times haha.

 

 

HERE WE GO TIME TO OPEN....

 

AND IT'S A...........

 

 

 

BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

We all are so happy for the Shearer's who will be welcoming Baby Weston in September...woohooo can't wait.  Now it's baby shower time haha.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's T-Ball Time

I can not begin to explain how excited I am that Gavin is starting T-Ball.  It is actually not the real league cause he is not old enough but it is pretty much the same.  My mom found this 6 week T-Ball session through the city so we thought we would sign him up and give it a try.  Gavin is not old enough for the league T-Ball which is 4 or 5 but this class was offered for kids 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 so of course you know it was gonna be fun.

So last weekend was his first day.....it was a skills class which was all about throwing, stopping the ball, running the bases and just trying to figure it all out.  Remember these are little toddlers so things don't go to plan hahaha.  There were kiddos running everywhere haha.  I was really happy with Gavin though cause he did everything the coaches were asking him to do and he was not afraid at all.  He did get a little upset when this one little boy kept grabbing his glove off his hand and running away with it hahaha.  But since this is pretty much a mommy or daddy and me T-Ball the dad was nice and made him give it back.

Ready for my 1st Day

Warming up with the kidds and the coaches...

In his ready stance to stop the ball...

In his first team huddle...

I can not be any happier with Gavin......I know this is great for him to learn the skills of the game and to be around other kids.  Makes me sad that he is already involved in sports time is going by way too fast.  We just had his first little game this past Saturday.  It was super fun cause they only play three loooonnnnnggg innings haha.  They give each player a turn to bat and the opposite team will field and throw the ball.  Then they will switch.  They are still too young to keep score but let me tell ya my little man can hit that ball off that Tee.  Yep he is gonna be like his momma when it comes to sports (Sorry Adam I still Love Ya) haha. 

His first team shirt..

Ready to catch the ball....

 

 

I can not wait to see how much he grows with this sport I hope he loves it as much as I did.  We are so proud of you Gavin...XOXO!!

Happy Birthday to my Sista!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN!! 

 

Earlier this month we celebrated Erin's birthday at the beach.  Their family headed down to Surf and Sand Hotel in Laguna for a few days and invited us down for one of the days so Gavin could play at the beach and we could celebrate with a nice dinner.  I know this is sad but this was Gavin's 2nd time at the beach ever......I know I know we live in California and my son has only been to the beach twice...haha I am a horrible mother I just hate hate hate sand.  Well at least for his 2nd visit he was at a 5star hotel sitting under an umbrella and some chairs and had the chance to take a shower right after he played...now that is how I like to roll to the beach haha. 

 

So happy to be at the beach

He loved to be buried

 

My Favorite Picture...Adam, Gav and I making our mark at the beach

 

So we got down there and all the kiddos played in the sand and in the water for a while.  We finally called it a day and went to the rooms to get the kiddos ready for dinner.......I can not begin to tell you how many pounds of sand we got of these kids it was pretty bad.  Finally we all were ready and decided we had a few minutes for Erin to open all her gifts before dinner which was only a 20 foot walk from the room to the restaurant.  This restaurant was amazing they had such great food we all were stuffed and were happy that the room was only 20 feet away cause we could roll right out haha.

 

Opening gifts...

 

 

 

Sister I hope you had a Wonderful Birthday We Love You So Much!!

Happy Easter

HAPPY EASTER!!

 

 

Yep ladies and gentlemen that is a smile on my kids face while he is on the Easter Bunny's lap.  We had a successful picture taking session this yeat whooohooo hahaha.  I was so happy that my kid didn't freak out this year.  He was a little hesitant but once I warmed him up for a little bit he actually was ok haha.  Now lets see if we are successful with Santa this year or I might be getting the death stare again from him lol. 

 

Gavin is growing up so fast....so much fun now that he understands what the Easter Bunny is all about.  He even had a blast coloring eggs this year and actually said they were for the Easter Bunny.  Love that he gets so excited over holidays.

 

Coloring Eggs with the Cousins

 

This year for Easter we headed off to my sisters and of course made to much food and ate to many sweets.  We had a huge Easter Egg hunt like we do every year but this year was even better because Gavin actually ran around and collected the eggs all on his own.  He had so much fun.
