...sparkley whites...

yesterday was alyssa and hannah's very first trip to the dentist. we've been talking about this day and reading about going to the dentist for about a year now and I can now say that the girls did WONDERFUL. They were scared of course on the ride there and were apprehensive when they called them back individually to get their x-rays, but after that it was a piece of cake!

The BIG 3-0...

came...and...went

on January 23rd I officially turned 30 and am proud to say so. Everyone keeps asking me how it feels to be 30 and I have to say it's great. Turning 30 to me means I've earned the respect as a mother and wife from older generations. I've always hated it when people, especially women would pat me on the back and tell me "oh dear, you're still so young" or "you still have so much to learn", yada yada yada... I realize I'm younger than them and I do have a lot to learn, but c'mon...I am a mother of THREE and wife of 5 years...geez...

so now when I say, "yes, I'm 30"

I feel as though I won't get the "oh, you're still so young" line...we'll see though!

Friday, my actual birthday we had all the family over for some good food and great company. It was wonderful to have everyone over and to have all the cousins together for the first time...13 total! I wish I would have taken a picture of all the kids, but I didn't. sorry!

my favorite...hubby & homemade cheescake...thanks Auntie!

the most unique gift award... a trip to the shooting range...

...let me explain...

I've always wanted to learn how to shoot a gun and have been buggin Dave to teach me since he's a qualified expert with a M-16 and sharp shooter with a 9mm. pretty sexy, isn't it?? so, I finally got my wish...my hubby and I have a date at the gun range!

LOVE this gift! most of you know that I'm obsessed with the red plastic cups that you can write your name on...well, these are WINE glasses that you can write your name on with chalk! so perfect!! Thanks Nicole and JR!!

Can-man and me... Personally, I think a baby BOY and myself make a great couple!!

Saturday night was a night to celebrate with friends...and boy was it a night of celebration!...it felt more like my 21st birthday... We all went to Sgt Peppers Dueling Piano Cafe in Long Beach and a ton of fun! I think most of my friends though we were going to a "piano bar", but were happily surprised when they saw that it was more like a show than anything. I definitely recommend this place for a birthday, BUT only if it isn't YOURs. They made me go on stage and do silly dances and sang silly songs about me...that's all I'm saying for now...

thank you to all my friends who celebrated with me! It was a night to remember...

44th President of the United States

History has been made today and I'm so proud to say I'm an American.

God Bless America

President Barack Obama

Vice President Joe Biden

Barack Obama takes the Oath of Office as the 44th President of the United States as he is sworn in by U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts with his wife Michelle by his side during the inauguration ceremony in Washington, January 20, 2009. Obama became the first African-American president in U.S. history.

im pooped

so the girls had TWO friends over today, which means I had 5 girls under my roof for a LARGE portion of the day (11-6) all to myself because Dave is in Arizona...which was actually great for the girls because they stayed occupied for most of the time. But BOY, am I pooped. I think I've said before to some of my friends that I don't think there is a big difference between 3,4,5, etc kids....I WAS WRONG. Or maybe it was more difficult that they weren't my children so I would have handled situations differently if they were mine...who knows...all I know is that, I'm pooped.

I went to the grocery store today and happened to pass by the Blackstone Merlot (my fav) and was pleasantly surprised that it was on sale for $6.99!! Yipee! So you all can only imagine what I'm holding right about now taking a nice sip of! awwwwww.

Goodnight friends!
