Up Up and Away...

He's my Maverick. He definately fits the part. All he needs is one of those Fighter Pilot Jackets.

Almost more than 2 years ago, when my dad found out we were having the first Grandson on my side of the family, my dad started making a wooden airplane for him. It tuned out great and Peyton and Bailey love it. When Peyton gets in it he tells me that he's going to go look for Dumbo, I know we watch way to much Disney Movies.

Emily and Anthony Barba

Here's the big family photo. Everyone looks beautiful.

Bailey and my first dance.

This is what happens when your child decides he wants to be part of the wedding party.
Here is Chuck's cousin's Sherry and Kimmy.

This is Chuck's Crazy Cousin Mike.

Bailey was supposed to be the flower girl but wound up napping instead. She loved her dress though.

Proud Mama and Papa, two good looking inlaws.

This is Chuck's side of the family... that explains it all... j/k My Nephew Max and Peyton in there black mobster suits.

The flower arrangements were gorgeuos!

And this was such a cute idea for the cake.

My sister in law Emily finally married to her soul mate and I am so happy for her cause she couldnt have found a better guy. We are so happy to have Anthony in our family. I wish them the best of luck. Here are not the best but some photos I took at the wedding. My camera was acting up on me so sorry.

Do you see why I love him...

Hi I'm Woody, Howdy Howdy Howdy... Auhh my Peyton... lately he has been such a crack up. I have made it a point to spend a lot of time with him cause if I dont... he gets into things he shouldn't and gets into a ton of trouble... like learning how to change the DVD player... he takes a toy chair from his sister's room and stands on it to get to our DVD player in my bedroom... BIG NO NO, he has also discovered that he likes to chew and play with any gum thats lying around (yes I said it... GUM!) He is sometimes what I would like to call a menace!!! But no matter what, there are times when he's a complete angel, like when he wants to show me something or for me to follow him somewhere he says "Show me, come show me..." as he grabs my hands and drags me with him. He also has discovered me tickling his belly and when he's tired he will come ley by me and pull up his shirt for me to tickle his round belly. He as always loved for me to rock him in his Great Grandma Moog's rocking chair that my mother in law had given me. I love that he likes me to read to him every night and to sing him a song. I love my little menace and hopefully, this is a phase that he's in when he gets into trouble.

Mama's little helpers

Bailey was browning the meat while Peyton was on the refried beans.

Last night we had Taco-Vail for dinner and I decided to let my kids help me to keep them out of trouble and to give them things to do. They loved it and it made me happy knowing they were having fun. I am really going to miss them when I finally have to go back to work. : (

The cutest lil elephant I have ever seen...

Hmmm... What is he thinking...???

Bailey the Princess and Peyton the Elephant... They were screaming really loud when I took this, I am glad you cant hear it. Its ear piercing!

A long time ago my sister bought Peyton this Elephant towel, I hadnt used it in a long time but I put it on him the other day after his bath and just started to laugh cause he was so dog-gon cute. He starts marching like the elephants in The Jungle Book. He is the sweetest. Sometimes...

What I've done with my time lately...

Made with Love!

This one I painted the castle and the green grass, everything else is scrapbook stickers. Bailey loves it, I also had to mojpaj it so it hardened and all stayed on.
Here is Buzz Lightyear which was the easiest one to do cause all I did was put him on the moon. Yet its also Peyton's favorate.
Jesse and Woody was a little more harder, I had to watch the movie and pause it on a part that showed the Sheriffs Dept. But I love how it turned out.
This was my first one and I love it. I think it turned out great.


Lately I have searched through my creative side and found out that I am a bit artistic. Peyton's room was sports theme but we changed it to Cars theme. He had these pictures in his room on canvases that had a baseball, basketball, and football. I painted over them and drew a background and found some scrapbooking stickers of my kids favorate characters to put in there room. Here are my final results. I love them and my kids love them too, Peyton says goodnight to them with blowing them kisses every night before he goes to bed. And since I made them for Peytons room, Bailey got jealous so I made one for her too... princess themed. Enjoy!!!

Job Follow Up

Well I finally got a job, but I wont start until mid March. Its kinda weird how it came together. A couple of weeks ago I got a call from a doctor that I has worked with before. He told me that there was a doctor that he knew that was starting his own Hospitalist Program in Stockton Ca. I thought it was very kind of him to think of me and I was so very greatful. So he gave me this doctors phone number and told me the best time to call him. I called him the following day and he said the best thing ever, "I was going to call you if you weren't going to call me." He had discussed what he was looking for in an assistant and I believe that I would be the best qualified for the job. After all I had expieriance. So I met with him last Thursday and we seemed to hit it off well and he said that he wanted me to find a Medical Billing workshop to help me with the job. The next day I looked up all I can for Medical Billing classes and workshops and the best I found and the most reasonable with the amount ($$$) and time was at Modesto Junior College. They had a three class series that had a deal for $210, and it only took two Saturdays to complete. When I signed up for the class, I had to be put on the waiting list for the 1st class. So I called to see if I would still get the good deal for the classes, first the woman on the phone said no, then she told me to hold for a second and tells me they had a meeting that morning and said that they were opening positions in the class so more people could sign up. I cant believe how too good to be truw this has been. I havnt found anything, yet a job finds me, I thought I wasnt going to be able to get into the class I wanted and then an opening occurs. I definately believe in miracles and this has been a huge one, also my husband had given me a priesthood blessing and I believe that it has blessed my life. I love having faith in the Lord to help me find whats best for me and my family.
