I've been tagged!

I've been tagged by my friend Yvonne. My instructions were to select the 4th picture from the 4th folder of my pictures, then post it and explain it. So, here is my picture:

Okay, so how cute is this? This is Jessica at 9 months old, almost brings tears to my eyes to see how much she has grown up and is now a big old kindergartener. Hard to beleive that my baby is going to be 6 years old in just a matter of weeks.....WOW!

I now tag my friend Michelle Lopresti!

Michelle and I have been friends since we were both pregnant, me with Jessica, and Michelle with her son, Dylan. Jessica and Dylan are 12 days apart in age. We met as part of a Mommie's group on the internet and it has been a blast shareing our familes over the computer all these years. Although at this point we have never met in person, I do believe that we will some day!

Holiday Parade of Lights

As the official kick-off to the holiday season, we have enjoyed attending the annual Holiday Parade of Lights for the past few years. This year Allison's gymnastics team walked in the parade.

Our Cute Little Elf Gymnast!

Jessica and her friend, Riley enjoying watching the parade

Here comes Salinas Valley Gymnastics!

I guess one more noteworthing mention to this Parade is that I have been the Treasurer of this event for the past 4 years....gets me some good perks, like up front sponsor seating next to the announcing booth! It's all about the perks, right?

Oh Christmas Tree!

Tree decorating 2008! It was alot of fun watching Jessica grab each and every ornament just as fast as I could unbox them and put them ALL on the same 3 branches of the Christmas tree. Luckily Allison is getting taller now and can help decorate the other 100 branches.

The Cover Model

Jessica was chosen to be one of the cover model's for Scoop Magazine's November 2008 issued. Scoop Magazine is a local Monterey publication that details the local "happenings" for kids activities. My nephew, Jacob, is the other model, and to say they had a blast spraying whipped cream on apples pies, would be an understatement.

Catching Up My Blog!

Since my best friend Yvonne (or should I say former-best friend Yvonne) has been harassing me about my Blog (yes, I know my last post was in November of 2008)....she has been seriously harassing me to the point that I almost had to file a restraining order against her this past weekend!

Just Kidding.....but I am determined to catch this thing up over the next few days.

I still love you Yvonne (mother of my Godchildren)!
