Frozen Fun!

I LOVE when my kiddos play together! It is the BEST feeling when your little ones are getting along! We love Frozen and Andrew has been wanting his own E;sa doll for a while now and we couldn't find her anywhere! Today we were able to get our hands on one and he was thrilled. The two of them pulled thier Frozen toys together and were inseparable all afternoon! Great day! 

Tiana

Becca asked me to turn on "Tiana" so she can "relax" (her words! LOL) and she wanted her big Tiana blankie and pillow. She is so sweet and I adore her.

Cookie ABC's

While David grilled chicken and the kiddos played together, Jennifer and  I cut out all the letters of each kiddos names in sugar cookie dough and baked them. By the time dinner was all gobbled up and the dishes were cleaned, we set up a cookie decorating station for the kiddos. We went over the letters and the kiddos went to town decorating with homemade frosting and sprinkles!

Super fun night with some of our favorite people!

Grilled Chicken, pasta, sugar cookies, ABC's, Mary Poppins, Red wine, close friends LOTS of laughs....couldn't be a better way to spend a Thursday night!

Teddy Bear Show & Tell

Andrew has a teddy bear show and tell tomorrow at school. The teacher asked them to bring in a teddy bear and for us parents to help them come up with a story to share with the class all about their bears.

Andrew chose his Firefighter Build-A-Bear (he calls his "Daddy Firefighter Bear). His reason, "I love my daddy and he is a fireman just like my daddy".  He told me that he wanted to bring his "Mommy Police Bear" to school, too, but his teacher told him he had to choose only one. (apparently the Firefighter supersedes the Police Officer,,,,shocker! LOL)

Here's the book we made :)

I love his school projects! We always have a lot of fun with creative ideas and I run with what his little brain comes up with! We read his book together once it was finished and he goes, "Mom! It's PERFECT!" haha He's a pretty AMAZING little man! 

Bath Time....

What is it about little kids!?!? They turn anytime into play time! Love bath/Shower time with these crazies!

Andrew does showers now (he doesn't like baths) so he took Darth Vader in his shower this a.m and brushed his teeth, cleaned his ears and washed him with bubbly suds :)

 Becca loves to squirt water and play with the bubbles in her bath!

 Can't believe how big and independent they both are!

Go Orange Crush!

Awesome game today! GO TEAM GO!!!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to my handsome hubby, Dave! I love you, boo! Can't believe it's only been 6 years since we said, "I DO!" Seems like we have been together for EVER! We said our vows in front of our friends and family on a BEAUTIFUL afternoon, on Jan. 18th, 2008.

I will always remember the moment my daddy walked me down the aisle. We had been setting the venue up for "the big day" and I mentally prepared all day for the moment and I was SO NERVOUS to walk down the aisle. There was so much build up. I clutched so tightly to my dads arm and my heart was racing while I waited for the harpist's musical cue.  When the gate opened and I could see David, ALL the panic disappeared. I couldn't hear anything. I remember noticing the decorations and sunlight beating off the water behind David and I thought it all looked so magical and better then I could have dreamed.

I remember almost nothing about our wedding ceremony after that moment. The only part I remember (sharply I might add) is when David interrupted the ceremony and took a shot of tequila! haha---Larry looked at him and said, "Are you ready, now?" and he smiled the silliest smile and said, "ok, let's do this" haha!  The entire ceremony felt like it took 10sec! It flew by and I felt like my dreams were coming true. I couldn't wait to start out this chapter of life....I FINALLY (after so many years of being his "girlfriend") get to be David's wife!!! (MRS. QUEZADA!!!) What an honor! 

The rest of the evening and days proceeding were so awesome! What great memories....definitely ones I will cherish for ever!

 Every year for our anniversary, we go back to The Raven and enjoy lunch or dinner where we had our wedding. It's a lot of fun, because we always talk about our wedding and our favorites memories while we are enjoying our meals. We have always sit at a different table and it's neat to relive what it was like the evening of our special day. The room looks the same, minus all the wedding decor, so it kinda brings us back :) Last night we had dinner right at sunset and sat by the fireplace in the spot where our beautiful wedding cake was on display :)

Happy Birthday, Dest!

We were able to celebrate Destiny's 9TH! Birthday this evening!

Andrew and Becca each picked out a little gift especially for Destiny and it was SO SWEET seeing how excited he was to give her his special gift and homemade card (that HE wrapped I might add!) 

My SIL, Jen made this cute heart-shaped cake out of a round cake and a square cake. She got the idea from Pinterest, I guess. She cut the circle in half and puzzled it into a heart shape! Love it and am gonna steal this idea for Valentines day! ***Also, I didn't know that FunFetti frosting came in these cool colors in vanilla flavor....will have to keep an eye out because I dislike adding food coloring....very much! haha 

Fire Station Lunch with Daddy

Beccs and I visited Daddy at the station today :) Love to visit him when he's been away! We always miss him so much and enjoy our little pop-ins! It's also nice to catch up with some of the other firefighter family <3

They were out when we got to the station so Becca had her lunch in the grass and we played tag and talked while we waited for daddy 

 Becca loves checking out the equipment, truck and daddy's room whenever we visit

Growing up with her daddy as her hero is pretty awesome! We love you and are so proud of you and your hard work, daddy!
