Wow!!!!!

So I got a friendly little e-mail from one of my aunts asking if I have stopped blogging and wondering if she should take me off her blog list. I have to admit that I didn't not realize that my last entry was before New Years. That is unacceptable. It is so much easier to do the whole facebook thing, but that doesn't give much detail into what we hav really been up to. So here it is. This is a quick re-cap of the past few months.

It wouldn't be New Years without walking down to watch the Rose Parade. Got to see Paula Dean as the Grand Marshal. It was a great day with wonderful southern California weather.
We had great seats.

Even though she hates waking up early Liana can't wait to go down to see all the cool floats.

The next day the girls and I made a very scary trip to visit Rachel. It started snowing lightly as we got on the grapevine, but then it turned into quite a scary scene which ended with us making it safely to the bottom but both Liana and I in tears. I also had to use the bathroom so bad, but everything along the grapevine was closed. Let's just say I should do a commercial for Pampers because one of Abbie's diapers holds a full adult bladder. Thats all I am saying about that. We always have such a great time visiting the Puffers. We went to story time at the Library.

We also went on quite a hunt for park, but the girls had fun.

While still on Christmas break, our local library had the rose princesses come and read. Liana saw one of her good friends from preschool which was fun.



James and I took the girls on the Gold line down to olivera street where we enjoyed lunch and walking through all the fun stalls. We then went to this new park that opened by the Rose Bowl which is so much fun.





My Grandpa Webster came for a very quick visit.

Liana's class went on a field trip to kids space which was so much fun.










We also finally signed Liana up for ballet classes which she is loving. It is really fun to see her enjoy this so much. I just wish it was free.

In March, one of James' friends organized this Kids fishing derby which he took her to. They had so much fun even though the fish were not biting. She did catch one though.

And she got a cool certificate.


A couple weeks ago, we took the girls down to visit my grandpa and his wife Merilyn at Quaker Gardens. Liana had the best time and talked about it for days after wards. We promised to visit again soon.





This is Liana and I at a school reading night event.


In April, my church had their women's retreat. We attend Thousand Pines and always have a great time. Even though we were a small group this year, we had so much fun together. I am really learning how important it is to take time for myself. I have such a hard time saying no to things and have been finding myself getting burned out quite often. The Lord has really been speaking to me about taking time to refill myself so that I can give more to my family and friends. They deserve the best from me. Anyway, I had the best time, even with spending 4hours in the ER with one of our ladies who broke her ankle hiking. The speaker was so on point and spoke to me right where I needed to hear it. It was wonderful.


Liana and I had the most fabulous spring break together. Monday=breakfast and library, Tuesday=kidsspace with cousins, Wednesday=Disneyland, Thursday=Took the boat out on Puddingstone, Friday=Park. It was so much fun and I was sad to see it end.


I don't know how this got in here, but it is of Grandpa putting with Liana.


Then came Easter. Rachel and Jason came down so the whole family was together. It was so much fun. I grew up so close to all my cousins and it is really fun to see all the cousins enjoying eachother.



The webster grandkids. We are up to 10 now
So that is only a small picture of all that we have been up to. I am not promising anything, but I am hoping to be better on staying up to date on this.
