Day after Thanksgiving....shopping

Not really shopping....with these times not much $ for shopping. We
went to FAO Schwartz at Caesar's Palace. Lana had a blast but ended up getting a big bruise on her head. Some of the wall are glass and she walked right into one (twice).

Thanksgiving 2009

This year for Thanksgiving Angelo was at Alex's so it was just Shane, Lana, Uncle King and myself (kind of). I got the flu Wednesday night so I spent Thanksgiving in bed and in the bathroom which left Shane doing all the cooking. He did a great job. He cooked the turkey, made mashed potatoes, stuffing and he has always made awesome gravy. In the middle of all that Lana started throwing up....As always Uncle King came to the rescue. I am so lucky and very thankful to have this wonderful family.

It is like I am learning all over again.....the pictures are backwards....start at the bottom instead of the top.


After a long day of cooking and taking care of his girls.


Uncle and Lana trying to make daddy's back feel better.

this time she was not feeling to good.

Finally Bought Another Camera!!!!

Here is little miss Lana trying on her new hat and gloves.

It has been way too long......I lost my camera at the beach early this summer. We just bought another one.

Here is a picture of Angelo and Morgan playing Twister.

Bring Your Son To Work Day

I had such a great time. Angelo was a big help but he didn't

stop with my job. He wanted to learn about everyones jobs.

Monster Trucks

Angelo, Messi, Shane & King went to the monster truck races.

Angelo loves Grave Digger.

Look what happens with Grandma comes to visit!

Mom is not a girly girl and it drives Grandma nuts! She

wants to see Taylor in dresses. This is the outfit she bought

her for Easter. She decided she better get pictures before

Taylor grew out of it. She is 6 months old and wearing 12

month clothes.

Tar Heels take 2nd Place by 1/2 a game.

The Tar Heels were up for 1st place. They had only lost 1 game. In the final game they went into overtime and then went into double overtime. The refs called it a tie. They had such a great season. Angelo's coach is great. He has been Angelo's Soccer coach for 3 years now.

THis is a picture of Angelo, Tre (Coaches son) and Coach Darin.

Angelo Basketball 2009

Here are some pictures of Angelo playing basketball this year. Angelo loves to play sports. Here at home you rarely see him without a ball in his hand. It is so much fun to watch him play. We are so proud of him!

Taylor and her Daddy

These two have a special bond. Taylor always lights up when she hear's his voice. She is such a happy little girl.

Taylor loves her brother!

Angelo playing the Wii. Taylor loves to watch Angelo play.


She is always mesmerized.



She is so adorable!

Taylor Playing

Taylor does not like to lay down.


Taylor is getting pretty good at playing with her toys. I love to watch how she concentrates. She studies everything.

The Start of Taylor Lana's Life

I feel that pictures tell the story best.


In Elko shortly after I found out I was pregnant.


I had been awhile since I had been to Elko. We decided to celebrate Bubba's B-day, The start of a new family and Grandma and Grandpa's 40th Anniversary.



I guess we fast forwarded 9 months. This is the day Taylor was born. We are on our way to the hospital.


Getting ready to deliver Taylor via C-section.
