After the big quake

Thanks to everyone for thinking about us during this crazy time.
I have never felt an earthquake like yesterdays before. 
Being from So Cal, I should be use to them.
Yeah right, earthquakes are never easy.
Ryan had just got off working overtime at 3am, 
so we were both up talking in the kitchen when it happened. 
We ran upstairs to get the baby 
(the stairs were swaying back and forth and
 the chandelier above us was swinging like a pendulum) 
and then heard Kylah screaming hysterically waking the baby. 
I guess she was in a deep sleep and didn't know what was happening. 
I think the worst part was how it kept going and going. 
Seemed like forever. 
It was pretty awful!
The epicenter was very close to us, but Napa got hit the hardest.
Because of that, Kylah's school was canceled today,
 so kids and I are at home taking it easy.
Thankfully, we are all fine and didn't sustain any damages. 
Besides a couple of drawers opening in the kitchen
 and crooked picture frames on the walls,
 things are all good. 
Ryan was more concerned about his Ford in the garage, 
but nothing touched it at all. 
That and all of his top shelf bottles were perfectly aligned in the bar. 
We spent the morning sleeping in,
 went to the local winery for a Harvest Celebration
 with barrel tasting 
and cheese and wine pairing. 
It was great to see our friends and neighbors 
and talk about their earthquake experiences. 
Then, we went to Costco to do our weekly shopping.
Life is good!
Here a some pictures from the aftermath.
 
We were all so tired from the early morning shake.

It was a bad day for downtown Napa.

Our backyard winery!

Wine and cheese pairing.

Barrel tasting with neighbors.

The Ford was unharmed. I can't believe that Ryan built this truck. He is amazing!

We woke up to this peaceful and calming view from our bedroom window.

Love Costco!

Power tools and stuffed animals

The baby started off the day wanting to wear this hat, 
so he did...all day. 
He wore it during breakfast, to my office, playing outside, and even shopping.
I love this pic because he is using his power tool on a stuffed animal.
Hilarious! 
Such a boy.
 That and he looks freaking adorable with his long golden locks. 
I can't get myself to take him to get a hair cut. 
I love it.



Kylah :: 15 Years

I can't believe that Kylah is already 15 years old.
Soon she will be driving!
We went down south to visit family and celebrate early.
It was great to see everyone and that made it all the more special. 
She got lots of awesome presents
 and got to spend time with alot of the special people in her life.
We spent her big day relaxing and
 she got to open 15 presents throughout the day. 
It was fun! 
Lucky girl.
She also had a sleepover with her close girlfriends. 
They had dinner, tie dyed shirts, made smores by the fire, 
lit sparklers, danced, played volleyball and got no sleep. 
Til next year.....she will have her license.
 That scares me!


Yummy cakes! Thanks Annie.

My mom hooked us up!



15 presents!



Brenden was 20 months that day!

Posing before tie dying the shirts.


Sparkler time. You would never know they were 15. Oh girls!


Smores. Yum.

Baby just wanted to hang out too!

Her new babies! Thanks.

Cute Polaroid camera.

They turned out pretty nice.

Happy 15th Birthday Kylah and Happy 20 Month Birthday Brenden

Today I have a 15 year old and a 20 month old!
 Yes, that is crazy. However, I love it!

Brenden is getting so big, talking a lot, no more baby gates or high chairs.
 He sleeps in his toddler bed 
and ours of course...oh yeah we moved it to our room. 
His all time favorite thing to do now...watch cartoons.
 OMG! He wakes up, gets the remote, points to the t.v and says "toons."
 It's pretty ridiculous. 
He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Einsteins, and Chuggington only! 
He still eats everything and is more of a goofball ever...
with his silly faces and expressions.

Since Kylah is not done with her birthday celebrations, 
I will wait til they are over and do a big post later.
Enjoy!



Kylah at 20 months. She looks so much older than Brenden now...maybe it was all of that hair.
 
Brenden at 20 Months



He smiles with his whole face.


Someone was all into blowing sissy's candles.
