Well, I haven't written in my blog for over a year now. I can't believe it has been that long! Where does the time go? When I started this blog, I really intended to write in it often, but I find myself writing almost every detail of my life on Facebook so my friends and family can stay updated and in touch. I mean, who has time to read blogs, right???
Many things are going on in our family right now. We all just recovered from the stomach flu last week and now, Connor came down with a cold overnight. I swear, it seems like he is sick every few weeks. Hopefully this means, he will be healthy by the time he gets to school.
The kids have been quite busy with school and extracurricular activities. Boy, have I been a busy mom too! I have no "me" time any more. I think I turned into a chauffeur, mainly. From driving to work, then driving the kids after work here and there, and to auditions on the weekends, it's crazy! At least they are enjoying themselves, so it makes it all worth it.
As most of you have heard, both Ariana and Elissa will be performing in the Annie Musical in May. We are all very excited and can't wait to see them. Too bad we can't take video footage of them as it is against the rules, so, if any of you would like to see them, you will have to see them live. You can purchase tickets here..

Noah just turned 9 this week and is now playing baseball. He seems to be having a great time with it, but gets a little frustrated when he can't hit the ball. They tied their first game on Friday, and won their second game on Saturday. He got on base a few times. I am sure he will get much better with practice. I am just glad he is out there meeting new friends and having some fun. We can finally afford to let each kid do an activity right now, which makes me feel like I am giving them more opportunities in life. I think kids need all the opportunities they can get. I just hope this is something he truly likes to do, if not, we will move on to the next thing. :)
Connor, is 2 and is your normal toddler...into everything, throwing tantrums, being defiant, breaking things, and being a sweet, funny little guy, who melts your heart with his little smiles and affections of love. I am truly going to miss the toddler years when they are over. Again, time goes by too quickly. I wish I could hang on to it for a little longer.
Dan is busier than ever too! He has been with his current job for about 1.5 years. He won a Sales Achievement award for hitting over $1 million dollars in sales for his company this year. In addition, he gets an all expense paid trip to the Grand Cayman Islands and guess who he is bringing.. YEP!! I finally get to go out of the country!!! We will be going in May. We just applied for our passports this weekend and will soon be scheduling the trip. I am sad to leave my children so far away, but I am hoping to have a great time with Dan, ALONE!!!
As for me, I am still working in Pleasanton. The job is going fine and the people there are very nice. I am not doing all the work I used to do for my last company, and I am only there 3 days a week, but I am TOTALLY fine with this. Too much stress causes me anxiety and this is something I have been dealing with a lot more lately, especially with taking care of Rachel now, since she moved back. She is in her own apartment, and things seem to be going well. I see her at least once a week, more if needed. Aside from that, I would say, life is going just fine. Sometimes in life there is more good than bad, and sometimes more bad then good, but it all eventually evens out in the end. Guess that is just a fact of life!
