My New Favorite!

Eric and I discovered this ice cream awhile ago, I am sure it's been on the market for a while but it's new to us. And oh my GOODNESS......it is fantastic. I have been on a no sugar kick for a little over a month now trying to loose the extra baby chub, but when I went off yesterday, Eric knew just what to bring me home today! If you are a Ben & Jerry's lover and haven't tried this flavor, try it!

Chocolate & Vanilla Ice Creams with HEATH Bar Chunks, White Chocolatey Chunks, Peanut Butter Cups & Chocolatey-Covered Almonds.......mmmm! Just disregard the nutritional info on the back!

Wagnon Family Reunion II

As I mentioned in the last post we had a weekend family reunion in San Jose, we stayed over in a hotel, went to Great America, took family pictures, and went to the Great Mall. It was lots of fun to get together and hopefully we can keep the tradition alive. ( I will have to post pictures of last years reunion that I never got around to posting)

All packed into the elevator

The kids had a blast with the ice machine, thankfully it is not the kind you can stick your foot in(anyone know what that's from?)

Gorgeous Krista and Tessa. Once in a while Eric thinks Tessa looks a little bit like Krista, I would love it if she did. Eric and I left to go get Taco Bell for everyone and they volunteered to watch Tessa........

conveniently she had an explosion on Brad's lap!

and she loved her bath in the sink!;)

But once she got cleaned up we headed over to Great America.......

It's fun that the kids are getting big enough to go on some of the adult rides.

But we did split off to ride a few on our own

And Bubba watched the kids moon everone in the Park!

I think they might have had more fun than us.

Love this picture of Brody, I think this is how we all felt after the trip!

Family Pics

At the end of August we got together for a family reunion in San Jose and took some family pics....

Thankfully we got a few


Our little Tessa


And all the cousins....Taylor, Tucker, Tessa, and Brody

Date Night

Eric and I were able to get away a few weeks ago while my sister Kristy watched the kids. Eric knew a guy from the Chamber that works with the Kings and offered him some courtside seats at their first practice scrimmage of the season. It was fun to be so close and I could see the lure of wanting such tickets for the season, which if anyone is curious cost 33,000 a seat for the season! Yes that is $66,000 for two people for a seat to watch basketball........Can't you buy a house with that much money?;) Anyway long story short the guy came and talked to us a few times to see how we were doing and make small talk, really nice personable guy, but I am not sure he knew the exact financial position we are in at the moment. Maybe he was thinking Dr., and Eric owns his own practice, but talking to him he mentioned how people use these seats to help their business grow, to treat clients to a game etc. and at one point he asked us what our next big business move was going to be. And thought I to myself, ummmm maybe move out of our tiny brown claustrophobic apartment? But regardless it was a fun night, nice to get away and a cool experience. Livin it up! The couple next to us had two 3 yr olds, it made us thankful to have a babysitter.

Kevin Martin


We both really like #40, hopefully he will bring the Kings some good luck.

I wanted to get a picture of him dunking, but they put the balls away too soon!;)After the game we got to meet Spencer Haws and a few other players. My favorite part was walking by the garage space they park their cars in and seeing all these custom decked out cars.

Mini Vaca's

We have were able to finally go on a couple of mini vacations since Eric opened his office. A few weeks ago my sister Cindy blessed her baby in Modesto, CA so we decided to try and get a nice hotel for cheap on priceline and were successful!

Sadly these were the only pics we got, but we had a fun time going to dinner, Chuck E Cheeses, and ice cream in the hotel spa.

Eric and the boys stayed up late watching TV, you can just see how excited they were by the look on their faces!

Then the next week I had a mystery shop at Great America and convinced Eric to close his office for a day to come with us. Kristy watched Tessa for us and we had lots of fun!

It's hard to catch this kid without a smile on his face ;)

It was fun to see how much they loved this roller coaster! Eric was not happy with all of the whipping around though, I am surprised he didn't give them an adjustment as soon as they departed.

This is the only character Taylor would stand next to. He wouldn't get close to Dora, Sponge bob, Rugrats and a few others I had never seen before, but he was sooooo happy to stand by the doggie.

6 Amazing Years!!!

So I'm a little late on this one (April 24th was the big day) but I thought this deserved a blog. For our sixth anniversary Jackie made a GIANT book of our lives together. I'm not sure how and when she found the time and kept me from knowing but IT ROCKED!!! So this one is just to say Thank You Jackie and It Just Keeps Getting Better All the Time!!!

6 months!

Today is our little girls 6 month Birthday. Man it has gone by so fast, it seems like just yesterday I was standing in the lobby of the hospital saying, "I THINK SHE'S COMING!" It's kinda sad it has gone by so fast, but in a way I am thankful because I feel like my grey hairs aren't growing as rapid as they once were.

She has made quite the transformation since she came out looking a bit like Baby Shrek!

Tessa

With two boys, Tessa hasn't gotten the spotlight she deserves. I have had a lot of fun having a little girl. Even though she has been a little more demanding of my attention than they have lately, I have been enjoying dolling her up!

To complete this look.......

Cute homemade flower that my sister Cindy and I made from her sewing scraps,

Adorable patent leather shoes,

And a handsome Daddy who makes her smile!
