4 years and counting....

Abe and I celebrated our fourth anniversary on June 19!!!! I can not believe it has only been four years, people say that time flys, but Abe and I have done sooooo much that it doesn't seem like we could have accomplished it in only four years. This is what we have done!
* Two beautiful daughters! Noelle Emma is 2 years old and Chloe Michelle is 6 months old.
* We have moved 3 times! We lived in Aliso Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita and San Clemente.
* Abe got a promotion, twice. He now sells Sleep Diagnostic Equipment for Cadwell and he covers the whole west coast!
* As for me - besides 18 months of pregnancies and 2 children under my belt (literally) I have been going to school and taking all of the required classes to get my real estate licence and now am preparing to go to Cal State Fullerton to get my Bachelors Degree in Business.
*We have been to Cancun, Puerta Vallerta, Rosorito, Cabo San lucas, Boston, New York, Washington D. C., Hawaii (twice), California's Central Coast(three times), Utah (hundreds of times), Seattle and finally ( I think) the Colorado River (lots)
* We have held 8 foot long sharks and been snorkling with sea turtles. We have seen a broadway musical and a Circ de sole show!
* We are planning a trip to Australia and hope to go this Christmas!

We are so HAPPY together and I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband!

AMAZING!

Noelle amazes me every day! Here are some of her latest funniest moments:

I started Noelle a bath and then took Chloe to get her a towel, I came back and she was in the bath with all her clothes on! She looked up at me totally shocked and said " I made a BIG mistake! I got my clothes all wet!"

Noelle says that she remembers when she couldn't talk and she had to use baby sign language!

Abe wrapped Chloe in Noelle's blanket Pinky, and she said " Daddy you made a mistake, you put Pinky on the wrong kid!"

She got confused and called her knuckle a nipple! Quite amuzing when she told us Chloe was sucking on her nipple! ( Dont worry she showed me her wet hand!)

I was in her room sitting on her bed and they have pink curtins that the sun was shining through and she said " Mommy do you have a bad owie on your leg? " I looked and I couldn't see one so I said No and she said " oh it was just the pink sunshine!"

She was listening to music and dancing all around and then a slow song came on and she said " This one is boring, makes me sleepy." ( She also thinks that Nursery at Church is boring and she would rather watch Dora)

A TOOTH! ARE YOU SERIOUS!?

Chloe got her first tooth! So crazy, she is growing up sooo fast! She was chewing on my finger and I seriously thought I must be crazy, but there it was on the bottom right. Teeth are for toddlers, not tiny babies like Chloe! She is rolling over and scooting like a little pro. She can make it anywhere she wants but she only does it when no one is looking!

Summer is here...or at least it feels like it...for now!

We love San Clemente! We recently found a new snack bar at the end of the pier and it is quickly becoming our favorite hang-out for Family Home Evening! On chilly nights we get a hot chocolate, but since it has been soooo hot -we now indulge in a cotton candy and an icy cold bottle of water! There is nothing better! We play checkers and take pictures...lots and lots of pictures!

Daddy is 32!

***********************************************************************************************************Abe had a birthday! We celebrated by taking the kids to the San Diego Zoo. I know it defies logic but the Zoo is all uphill. No matter which way you turn and even when you leave you are always going UP hill. Then on Sunday we had dinner at the Browns (Ken and Carol) and then an after party at the Gardners (Aaron and Kim). So fun and Abe is So OLD!

GIGGLE GIGGLE!

Chloe laughed for the first time yesterday! She is the sweetest baby. Chloe is all smiles all the time, and she has been wanting to laugh for a while and yesterday she figured it out. I was tickling Chloe to make her laugh Noelle ran over and said " Doey needs to say UNCLE!" (When Noelle is being tickled she says "Uncle!" so you will stop) It was hilarious! Noelle is a good big sister, she's got Chloe's back!

POOL TIME!

Noelle started swimming lessons with Miss Allie! She had soooo much fun and she is so good at it. Abe and I discovered that the pool next to our house is heated and we have been in it everyday since. Rain or Shine. Noelle is fearless, which I think is a good thing because she is learning really quickly!

Noelle was one of the only ones not screaming!
