Our New Home!

Yesterday afternoon at 1:16 I got the keys to the castle!

My dad and I (and Nina) started painting.

We had SO much fun...even though Nina was BOSSY!

Here are some pics showing the inside a little bit.

This is what you see when you walk in the front door

on your right.

When walking in the front door, on your left is the hallway

to the bedrooms and bathrooms...

and directly in front is the living room.

Hopefully I can get more pics today and get them up later.

Our AWESOME pool at the Hyatt!

Santa Cruz Beach

Tuesday, Sept. 2nd we went to Santa Cruz, CA.

They have a great beach and boardwalk...

We didn't know that the boardwalk and rides were closed...

so we only hung out on the beach for a little over an hour.

We still have fun though!

Nina and Daddy getting sandals on.

Nina really did NOT like the noise the waves made.

Tim getting used to the water...was REALLY cold though.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Tim...EVER.
He's so handsome!!!

Building a Sand Castle

Tim took Nina down to the water...she was pretty scared.

Day with The Bueno's

Monday, Sept. 1st we went to the Childrens Museum

with my sister (Amy) and her husband (Rob) and daughter (Draven).

The girls had SO much fun!

Afterwards we went to lunch and then to their new house.

It was SO nice to FINALLY meet Draven and Rob...

and of course nice to see my sister too!

Nina being VERY gentle with Draven.
(keep this in mind...doesnt last long. ha ha ha)

Nina most likely being BOSSY.

2nd Day of School

Here are some pictures of Nina painting today.

I think it's one of her favorite things to do at school.

Nina has ANOTHER boyfriend

At my Aunt and Uncle's 50th Wedding Ann. Party,

Jase and Nina were TOTALLY "flirting"...

it was SO cute!

Nina would chase him EVERYWHERE

and pull his arm.

He kept saying to her:

"What do you want?!"

They are SO cute together!

Later in the evening, Jase's older brother was trying

to run around with Nina and Jase got REALLY

jealous and YELLED at Blake "Dont touch her!"

And then Jase (who is the YOUNGER brother)

started pushing Blake around. SO CUTE!

Jase is only 1 month older than Nina...

Actually, he was born on my Birthday.

My Little Preschooler

I BAWLED like a little baby this morning.

Seriously...ask my friend Shasta.

Nina is officially a preschooler.

!WoW!

She was so excited this morning when she woke up.

She came RUNNING down the hall way...yelling...

"MOM! School today?!"

Me: "Yes Nina, eat breakfast first"

Nina: "YAY!"

Standing in front of the school.

With her cute little backpack.

She wanted to walk down the hall by herself!

Getting her nametag from her teacher, Ms. Wagener.


Hanging her bag in her own little cubby!

Playing with one of the parent teachers.

At this point is, she was ready for me to leave.
This was the last picture I took of her this morning.
And as I walked out of the door, I started crying.

Poor Poor Mommy.

We Bought A New Home!

So we've been looking around for a new house recently.

We found the PERFECT home after putting

offers up on a few different ones...

and I couldn't be more stoked!!!!

It has 4 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, laundry room,

2 car garage, a SCRAPBOOK ROOM, awesome yard...

and 4 houses down is a BIG playground.

It's not too far from Nina's preschool too.

Hopefully we'll be moved by the end of the month!

Here's the front of the house...Cute, right?!

And here's my BEAUTIFUL kitchen!!!!

Isn't it NICE?!?!?! YAY!


In the backyard, there is a rope swing and sandbox.
Nina really liked those! hehehe
2 1/2 bathrooms, brand new roof, fireplace.
Whats NOT to love?!
Hopefully sometime this week I can get more pics of it.
