School is finally out!! I had a good semester and even a better summer once grades were posted. Since March... <br />We went to Southern Cali for spring break. It was a great vacation. We were able to go to the San Diego Zoo and Disneyland. The kids loved the zoo and now will never be satisfied with our little Sierra Safari Zoo here. Disneyland was quite the adventure. Two out of the five days we were there in Cali it was freezing, windy and raining, but we came eight hours to go to Disneyland and we were not going to let some rain ruin it. So as we are driving there, it is pouring. Cali downpours, not rains. We paid the parking ticket, got our stroller all loaded up with kids, jackets, blankets and things for the day in the park and got into the elevator. Out of the elevator to the tram, about 20 steps in, we were soaked. Umbrella useless for the most part. Our jeans were sticking to our legs. The kids were dry, except for the part that sticks out of ths stroller, which included their shoes and blankets. So 20 steps in, we decided it would be a miserable day in Disneyland and not to mention a waste of money, if we were miserable. So we turned back.<br /> We decided to stay in the area, just in case it cleared up, but remembering we were in Cali, not Reno, where storms pass in five minutes. We completely lucked out!! In about 20 min, after we had left the park, the skies were clear. <br />All in all, it turned out to be a fabulous day at the park! Hardly any clouds, weather was ok, but no more rain and man, did we feel the magic this time. We got to meet almost all the princesses there and even met Mary Poppins, Peter Pan and the fairy godmother. We were so thankful the weather cleared up and it was an awesome trip<br />Thalia turned three finally in May. We had the usual birthday party with all the family, which we love having. We got the her a trampoline for her birthday and a sandbox. Man, if I had knew about this earlier, I never have to entertain kids while I am trying to cook and clean. They all three will play on it for hours, and it has a net, so I can literally lock them on.. j/k <br />Mercedes had her first dance recital, which many of you came and thank you so much for all the support! She told me she loved to dance on the stage and her favorite part was when everyone clapped for her when she danced. She did a great job and let lose at the end.<br />Chris got a really cool internship with the Sports Med program at UNR. He starts in August and will be working side by side with the UNR football team, included practices and all their home games. He is really excited for it and so are we. The experience will be great and hopefully opens some doors for the future. <br />As for me, I have had a great time scheduling out my freetime to spring cleaning, which I really do enjoy and finishing up house projects!<br />Sorry about the super long post, but I will be posting pictures soon.Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-31676642851938426892011-03-15T15:12:00.000-07:002011-03-15T15:22:17.894-07:00Feb on into March<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE6uK3pNN4dgqYtslXkGoROZVxvlbN02tAnZMr9ZgHy34DyiZ3HxFtW2dPgJqe53G8URgJA2er_oRc9STIFLA-KWhSYL_33dxSIaNZGm7wx3hy5R9-3g3e0tohEI7c9p_6MNSI29moriI/s1600/FEBRURARYMARCH+056.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE6uK3pNN4dgqYtslXkGoROZVxvlbN02tAnZMr9ZgHy34DyiZ3HxFtW2dPgJqe53G8URgJA2er_oRc9STIFLA-KWhSYL_33dxSIaNZGm7wx3hy5R9-3g3e0tohEI7c9p_6MNSI29moriI/s320/FEBRURARYMARCH+056.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584435586827594450" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkw32jEy5Taa9sGiOU5RJg2WKOkKTeOFpZdpt1ekC0DK4yx-CvW83_c7L_pnalYOaJZQhIOsGAGql4HE2YX1a9bRYYACxW7uEVTwSOEZ7dia0jjinWM5I_ZrotIrd0wh86nBK3jkIKO68/s1600/FEBRURARYMARCH+054.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkw32jEy5Taa9sGiOU5RJg2WKOkKTeOFpZdpt1ekC0DK4yx-CvW83_c7L_pnalYOaJZQhIOsGAGql4HE2YX1a9bRYYACxW7uEVTwSOEZ7dia0jjinWM5I_ZrotIrd0wh86nBK3jkIKO68/s320/FEBRURARYMARCH+054.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584435575078519346" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvn_AB9770VKi2FrmFxOq8Odxx1JyKu4cQFigrV1Adk1uOfRRwPQ8LPFwcG2ewWEDEOGHb3A7JWdPe9MykBjvYZnmOPQjI2LZkNE5vgE09gGCYKVa6B7WNyxw7c69cR76BKAcayzl6SLk/s1600/FEBRURARYMARCH+038.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvn_AB9770VKi2FrmFxOq8Odxx1JyKu4cQFigrV1Adk1uOfRRwPQ8LPFwcG2ewWEDEOGHb3A7JWdPe9MykBjvYZnmOPQjI2LZkNE5vgE09gGCYKVa6B7WNyxw7c69cR76BKAcayzl6SLk/s320/FEBRURARYMARCH+038.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584435570491056882" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdsIeUcjJuAbz5s6XjPt12S5hEumJ2UaFdmu4x-t245873l5TbRjjy9q7feHx15iLOYq4UT1mbHzIezOHKqzSpcfLFEQc46tlTm9puEO6X-bKzekcE_-DNMrifOuDU68W0UboH5RYNC9k/s1600/FEBRURARYMARCH+011.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdsIeUcjJuAbz5s6XjPt12S5hEumJ2UaFdmu4x-t245873l5TbRjjy9q7feHx15iLOYq4UT1mbHzIezOHKqzSpcfLFEQc46tlTm9puEO6X-bKzekcE_-DNMrifOuDU68W0UboH5RYNC9k/s320/FEBRURARYMARCH+011.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584435563215177074" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwRACu67TaJltg8dTqLJHeuxTPeKI0Y7ds0lurCK8o8ZNzAwAMIhzRj7BdGhTa4igN1MGIumCM5GZwFDe5WbE6WyU-qUNKOGUIPGcSbue5zJL2Vw2HhQ0XcGq8qBmlLRzzZ_GlWGgxRwk/s1600/FEBRURARYMARCH+004.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwRACu67TaJltg8dTqLJHeuxTPeKI0Y7ds0lurCK8o8ZNzAwAMIhzRj7BdGhTa4igN1MGIumCM5GZwFDe5WbE6WyU-qUNKOGUIPGcSbue5zJL2Vw2HhQ0XcGq8qBmlLRzzZ_GlWGgxRwk/s320/FEBRURARYMARCH+004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584435554153726402" /></a><br />We have had so much fun these last couple of weeks! Lisa and Phil and Sandy came to Reno with the kids. It was so much fun to hang out with them and for Chris to finally meet Sandy. Plus I had not seen Riley since she was a baby. It was fun catching up and spending quality time together. School is still going great,busy but when you enjoy it, it is doable. We just found out that Chris will be able to graduate with me next spring! We are so exicted to continue to accomplish all our main goals together. The first week of March I was able to go to a student career forum in San Fran with a couple of my good friends. We had a blast and were there for three days. It was fun to be able to get away from everything for a while, but it always makes me aprreciate my life back at home. We have had some fun snowstorms that have kept us busy and active. In a few days for spring break and a much needed vacation we are heading down to Southern California to soak up warm weather. We are lucky enough to go to the San Diego Zoo and Disneyland. The kids don't know we are going yet so I am excited to see their faces. I have been working two nights a week for a while now, still a waitress, but finally there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I see that I won't be stuck in it forever. For those of you who don't know, I am partially interning with a designer on the house that my dad is working on and she is lettting me use my skills on the old master bath! It was will be so neat to actually see one of my designs become a reality instead of a color board. I will definently post pictures of that and our vacation next time! Chris's birthday is this weekend, while we will be in California, so last night I threw a surprise party. It, for once, was a success. He is usually a snoop, but he really had no idea. Thanks to everyone who made it!

Everything has been great here. The kids are growing way to quick. I finished up the worst semester, and my intership just in time for the holidays. Chris was able to take off December 24 until Jan. 12 so we had tons of time and catching up together. We were able to reaarrange most rooms in our home and finish some of the projects we started before school started. Chris was able to go back to Mississippi to help Ryan and Shantel get everything packed and drive their second car back. He had a great time and saw some cool sights. He drove 17 hours in one day and knowing him, that is pretty darn impressive! I am really enjoyed just not having to do anything and hang out with the kids more and more. We had so much fun this Christmas in our first home. It was really fun setting up the night before and it was priceless to see their sweet faces in the morning. Every year is better because they understand Christmas and Santa more and more. It was fun being together with the whole family again too. My good friend Kaylynne started up her photography business so we jumped on her great price and she did a great job! Here are a few pictures that she took.

We hav ebeen able to go to the cornmaze, lots of birthdays and of course Halloween! Here are some pics of whats been going on. We are also loving all the leaves in our yard. It's so exciting to be able to rake the leaves at your own house and jump in the piles. We had so many leaves the piles were deep enough to throw the baby in them, gently of course. The girls had a blast dressing up for halloween. They are totally into the princess thing right now so everything is centered around being a princess. Including them using it as an excuse to not do their chores or help out. Mercedes continues to tell me, " Mom, princess do not throw diapers away, and princesses do not clear their plates. Mom, Princesses do not wear socks.... It's pretty funny, but she had learned that princesses do everything we do.Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-43520773890856287162010-10-15T15:34:00.000-07:002010-10-15T15:43:59.247-07:00September events<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcVqnz_1YmQHgyp6Xa7QZ66tI-_kXJtmPUpw_53KtdnmSMgYGfyYvlhYYTy__f2Vwg7BZChb2SCJHU5MLXpTaS9AHmFzj5mI916cGx3QRdbeVCBm4Aelb13Q_c-ShDXskfv35tjef8Pmo/s1600/September+113.jpg"><img style="float:left;

This has been a crazy month, hence no posts. So school is in full swing now and so it has left me little free time for anything else. I started the semester with my usual 15 credits but this third child has me really thrown. I was way to overwhelmed with some of the basic classes so I decided to put those off and focus on my design classes this semester. It is nice because my mind is completely zoned in on them and I don't have to worry about classes like core humanities and marketing. I also started my internship. I am at a place called ProSource. It is a flooring showroom and by the end of it I will very knowledgable about all floor sn countertops! They sell cheap, cheap but good stuff so if you need new floors come see me! Chris is also very busy at work. He had a week of pathology training that kept him busy and will also lead to another promotion in the near future. He watches the kids tues, wed and thurs. He is Mr. Mom and quite honestly does a better job than me. The house is clean, dinner is sometimes made and always delicious and almost all the laundry is done. He even has master the girls hair. He and Julius have become quite close and Julius would rather hang with dad when he is not hungery. Chris is amazing! The girls are doing great and staying busy. They love to play with each other and often won't let chris and I play with them. Julius is three months now and is even more adorable. He is babbling, very loudly because he has to compete with the girls. He even started giggling. I love him so much and I love having a boy!

It was so much fun and we didn't even get one bug bite. We went to a place right past Boreal. There was a river right by us and plenty of rocks to climb ob. Julius did great too, he only woke up once during the night. The girls loved it too. They loved getting dirty and fell right to sleep in their new polka dotted sleeping bags.

Julius is almost two months and I am feeling great and back to normal. He is starting to smile and goo a lot. He is so adorable and such a handsome little guy. Mercedes and Thalia have been having a blast with their cousins all summer. They slept in Todd's room for a sleep over with Madi. We have been able to go to the lake several times and we were even able to go to the Keenan's cabin and try paddle boarding. Chris, Amber and Crystal were able to go on a overnight hike in CA, Point Reyes I believe. They had a great time and saw some really cool things! We are lucky enough to replace our nasty flooring into beautiful hardwood floors, with my dads skills of course. We took our family camping for the first time. I was very nervous but it went really well and the girls loved it! We went to a small campsite right off the freeway past Boreal. It was so fun with most of the family there and with a nice river right by us. Julius did great as well, only waking up once during the night. We now have one more week left of summer before I head back to school. Thanks to all the family for the great summer!Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-70236975491286189602010-07-10T15:11:00.000-07:002010-07-10T15:23:22.251-07:00Summer time<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLT6X0N_ezl_UsmYHOIAwkiGyB1qeFtkZZCD_DzudFdyp_zhSQ2LJ37R-VAkm3Ar0sRnVk6r9eNjqapPgmmE0rSEqmOhE5MY2uqzXHMJ0Era_rF5h4NVluANYSwWqRuQHWB0C450EIBqM/s1600/July+2010+001.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Julius is running at seven and a half pounds now at almost three weeks. He is a little more work than his sister but now that I am feelin healed it isn't so bad. Chris was able to take two weeks off for the baby and I was terrified for him to return, leaving me with three kids. So far it's been okay. I even ventured up to Tahoe to meet the family. The girls sure love Julius and are big helpers. They ask to hold him at every chance. Nightime is pretty typical of a newborn but he takes pretty good naps during the day so I have time to breathe and catch up. We have been pretty lucky to be able to hang out with the family often this summer. We had tried to take pictures but it's impossible to get every happy face all at once. Chris also got a promotion at work the day before we had Julius so a shout out to his hard work being recongnized!Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-51334529324075542352010-06-28T11:22:00.000-07:002010-06-28T13:10:45.556-07:00Welcome Julius John!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj48vFFy4fE6Xy6i_XU22SRNSAdrOVWYWPs2kLBPlGvkQvRI8WCxrmLgGkGmMMT-gHHUET6KKmu0eMNPiQQ3a254Om3nYGHgih-2pwhB4MqG_y07zpJkYfg8fsVqdDWTvDW8E-4PGSiBS0/s1600/Julius+birth+100.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

He weighed 6lbs, 6oz and 18 1/2 inches long. He looks like Chris right down to his little ears. He has big wide eyes and lots of black hair. He sure is adorable but much different from my girls. He cries before his eyes are even open to let me know he is hungry and eats much more than I can remember the girls eating. He already has shown me the difference between boys and girls and I cannot wait for all the new experiences we will have with him. The surgery went well and was one of the better csections for me. I tend to have panic attacks before and during the surgery but as soon as that baby is out, everything goes great. I ended up falling asleep while they were sewing me back up, after I heard his first cry and knew all was well. My pain is also much less than the previous surgeries and I seemed to have bounced back physically and mentally much quicker. I am anxious to get past these first six weeks and back to my normal self. Thank you so much to all those who have been so much help and for all the visitors we had in the hospital. Oh yah, we decided to name hime Julius John instead of Christopher Julius in honor of my grandpa who passed away a month too soon. I'm sure he definently helped pick this little guy to come to our family.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-15561873070918716452010-06-03T20:46:00.000-07:002010-06-03T21:07:32.570-07:00Mercedes first dance recital<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzdaWqV3Wm-G1nvB8QTiIVBU9RtNZAKN1P48MwB2Fgly1hTDzbK0POMsDgvKCEaWCsrnq0sgmT2d3H5cYV3Dw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwG9EzA-g_BNEiW639bEMHwqC7hgfNHTzMev5kklmzLG9-M7l6xYQ80KsPwNyEfnlCrMeF1kzti4NMv07cwCw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxpynQTwiT4goydaGKaT0RiDA-sbS3VZtk4wxYcXPAf2p6sUqRTg9Ddl5nPKhYJ3DHsTMIIfqa7g_2sTeHEnw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-6309146030006997352010-06-02T16:03:00.000-07:002010-06-02T16:21:27.705-07:00Lots to say...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHcEoixhtq8VWdYvE_qakW24nv3gz3XJOzVU4dkXtaU1WmjL2gigQ2My3vHDEV25xaSAh9wvvQ45P6rUYFUBjRGaXgzWk-cxK70vcIc4Yktf-ZpQ1OgTdvmXD6C7-vsvhZfYcy_zaG9Qw/s1600/May+2010+099.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478320374206091426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHcEoixhtq8VWdYvE_qakW24nv3gz3XJOzVU4dkXtaU1WmjL2gigQ2My3vHDEV25xaSAh9wvvQ45P6rUYFUBjRGaXgzWk-cxK70vcIc4Yktf-ZpQ1OgTdvmXD6C7-vsvhZfYcy_zaG9Qw/s320/May+2010+099.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii51gfx9ITm3oTfxKZm2SWqJIelDNTk_TUQ5OH1ZCroT0o9sQccCQO9rrpLG_sZO7Z144Gv4nO8FZXcwCo22V0tbcM17GeiiFWqhplcbWtWRX66YT6MHdBAaZgu2uOCcXdXCUPscVzV98/s1600/May+2010+068.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 239px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478320366130695122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii51gfx9ITm3oTfxKZm2SWqJIelDNTk_TUQ5OH1ZCroT0o9sQccCQO9rrpLG_sZO7Z144Gv4nO8FZXcwCo22V0tbcM17GeiiFWqhplcbWtWRX66YT6MHdBAaZgu2uOCcXdXCUPscVzV98/s320/May+2010+068.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUo5ukI-jWzxQtoudMuCpHCxth9-4gFl7N8pBv4S6SJ1EsDcKpLgBpCHB5lxL-F8xhmeY9hNqkE0MxjDndgINXLmEAQRSvT-157zPCYmvwQTM33cS9zN5GkmJq98jeW1Barn3FQH6fCkk/s1600/May+2010+114.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 239px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478320354531446530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUo5ukI-jWzxQtoudMuCpHCxth9-4gFl7N8pBv4S6SJ1EsDcKpLgBpCHB5lxL-F8xhmeY9hNqkE0MxjDndgINXLmEAQRSvT-157zPCYmvwQTM33cS9zN5GkmJq98jeW1Barn3FQH6fCkk/s320/May+2010+114.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmgNCzNztoSDMM-9FRPUBkP9NASPPSSol1jdemFug-q-XNbZySh7vW1vG9Rtj4a1mSJ1zjzhDujXrtnd-_gxeNQy0k0GeYPHLpLr2x1CFvmhhQ_2wIjf2KFAwO6oym9ustPbKpn57xyEE/s1600/May+2010+087.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 239px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478320344438848898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmgNCzNztoSDMM-9FRPUBkP9NASPPSSol1jdemFug-q-XNbZySh7vW1vG9Rtj4a1mSJ1zjzhDujXrtnd-_gxeNQy0k0GeYPHLpLr2x1CFvmhhQ_2wIjf2KFAwO6oym9ustPbKpn57xyEE/s320/May+2010+087.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXx-xzN6OYhc8cOhAvMd4Umizs2Nkbud-B7AKHUpLYrK0kVJn3HYdh49hbSJM8dcWIASLkprdmy7h33iYmLXfsT_M-1JV1CrC8yUCmpQF5IfywAc-AWipX_BtYFanFxt4gbJadRpDSg2o/s1600/May+2010+027.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478320333627305554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXx-xzN6OYhc8cOhAvMd4Umizs2Nkbud-B7AKHUpLYrK0kVJn3HYdh49hbSJM8dcWIASLkprdmy7h33iYmLXfsT_M-1JV1CrC8yUCmpQF5IfywAc-AWipX_BtYFanFxt4gbJadRpDSg2o/s320/May+2010+027.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Well this last month has definently been a busy one and I am so glad to have it over with. A few big things have happened. First, my grandfather passed away which we are all sad about but glad he can move onto the next life. He lived a great life and it was great to see everyone again for the weekend. Second, Chris and I finally closed on our house!! After three weeks of setbacks due to the bank's errors, we closed on the 13th. My parents were so kind to allow us to stay in their home for much longer than expected and we really appreciated all the help. I think it's the way to go for all you preggies out there. Live with your mom the last month, it was so relaxing. Thanks Mom and Dad. We celebrated Thalia's second birthday there and I was glad to get a picture with my grandparents and the family since it was only a few days before he passed away. We just had a small family party but it was nice and perfect for a two year old. School finally ended and Chris and I both escaped with good grades. I will do a seperate posting about our new house later. Mercedes finally decided she was ready to pee in the toilet and has been toilet trained ever since! We got to talk to Brent on Mothers Day and it was great to hear from him. Ryan and Shantel, us and all the girls ventured a trip to Sacramento for a day at Fairy Tale Town and then IKEA for the afternoon. It was a great trip, but spent way too much money at IKEA. We are now just trying to get everything unpacked and set up before Julius makes his arrival on the 23 at 8 am. And to save the best for last, I quit my job!</div></div></div></div></div>Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-18751944671227502482010-04-18T13:55:00.000-07:002010-04-18T14:07:24.433-07:00Easter Pics...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDQS34CVGbyQj2nhsDfc79UsVo6FQjmVG4YURzxA5dBA2USx7grQqYE6mnRc_OJtvbVMEDh8hYucpOC6AmnMYOgAkY4qLUdHNLhxoj5Pbehttnks0uPx7pwfnFRldJw92Jdwzlbohf_y8/s1600/April+2010+032.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 239px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461587020000012834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDQS34CVGbyQj2nhsDfc79UsVo6FQjmVG4YURzxA5dBA2USx7grQqYE6mnRc_OJtvbVMEDh8hYucpOC6AmnMYOgAkY4qLUdHNLhxoj5Pbehttnks0uPx7pwfnFRldJw92Jdwzlbohf_y8/s320/April+2010+032.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPVqmzs6gIHFIF9g4kP8acfRlYAl3T0xRCYayvluXzyk00-UFbLYCGD0e9bkvDG-2dvyZUsoQl8U5MLB0kxEPLM0n0ne-Nm8HTlDUDx-2h2cnrIQWxnLabSu38zewbxhojT-o8gCbkzr0/s1600/April+2010+028.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461587013382333794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPVqmzs6gIHFIF9g4kP8acfRlYAl3T0xRCYayvluXzyk00-UFbLYCGD0e9bkvDG-2dvyZUsoQl8U5MLB0kxEPLM0n0ne-Nm8HTlDUDx-2h2cnrIQWxnLabSu38zewbxhojT-o8gCbkzr0/s320/April+2010+028.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir2vMJfcYVnK-O3Wqrp0bo1spk84KEyXK1KoofOd0U00zBN234XONAsCG1QlN-s6C942iTMBcIBe9y3cNmzs2eHeRAXApi1e5imZHQ_J98GA1mxLwRVcAAT8z2IyEp_H0w7YLuCGbAKY4/s1600/April+2010+019.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 239px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461587005298589682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir2vMJfcYVnK-O3Wqrp0bo1spk84KEyXK1KoofOd0U00zBN234XONAsCG1QlN-s6C942iTMBcIBe9y3cNmzs2eHeRAXApi1e5imZHQ_J98GA1mxLwRVcAAT8z2IyEp_H0w7YLuCGbAKY4/s320/April+2010+019.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSTk3tuK2WBuicvYA4pWrpXW0wVku15DROq27lX2dM-D-JaybE4-pHgZL0RSNHCJrvLmBg-3503NsVpjK3CRr-sZPyr6CA0-MItF4rq0kBasR3IiHxPnxvcNSDtEii5hoQ4XonAW44fjY/s1600/April+2010+012.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461586996294085954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSTk3tuK2WBuicvYA4pWrpXW0wVku15DROq27lX2dM-D-JaybE4-pHgZL0RSNHCJrvLmBg-3503NsVpjK3CRr-sZPyr6CA0-MItF4rq0kBasR3IiHxPnxvcNSDtEii5hoQ4XonAW44fjY/s320/April+2010+012.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8BU8s450xCzPeqeQsMZRTf_puVwLB0r3vN4g2fJDJ-qod6ecXpSJS4MlSukv5CIqfodoryHsTNaAlH2n7E0EH67oGYuPCiYHOV_LU_W9LZ5YSfFblK91Jh_RRzXujzkupjvpv6MO5rqU/s1600/April+2010+007.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461586977802050530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8BU8s450xCzPeqeQsMZRTf_puVwLB0r3vN4g2fJDJ-qod6ecXpSJS4MlSukv5CIqfodoryHsTNaAlH2n7E0EH67oGYuPCiYHOV_LU_W9LZ5YSfFblK91Jh_RRzXujzkupjvpv6MO5rqU/s320/April+2010+007.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-65871686742003635492010-04-18T13:46:00.000-07:002010-04-18T13:55:53.682-07:00Easter and updatesSo Easter was fun, but cold. Ino don't know why we are always destined for a cold easter here in Reno. We went to a friends egg hunt then did the traditional one at mom's. I am always so frustrated because I will find cute Easter dresses and have to cover them up with sweaters. And the poor girls toes were frozen. Regardless, they had fun, got lots of candy and now it is sitting on top of fridge waiting for someone to eat it. This month has been crazy and will not be slowing down anytime soon. It is the last month of school so teachers are buckling down and assigning all the last exams and projects before finals in May, so this has left Chris and I extremely busy with one thing after another. Our home is still in process of closing so we are very anxious for this Friday, the 23rd when we will close. All the inspections went well and the appraiser appraised our home at 142,000 which was the best news all month. (we are only paying 110,000). So now this week are frantically trying to clean, pack, finish school, pick paint colors and keep going to work. On top of all that little Mercedes got a sinus infection and has been cranky from that. Yesterday I thought I was feelin braxton hicks contractions but as they continued all day and were only about 5 min apart I decided that I should go get checked out. I had to call in sick at work and spent 4 hours in L & D. After multiple tests I was sent home with antibiotics for an infection that had caused my contractions. Not only did I miss work but today I am still having these wonderful contractions and nausea because they willl not go away until the medicine kicks in tomorrow.. ugghh. Regardless we have been grateful for all the help Mom has given us, I don't know what I would do without her! I will keep you posted about the move, hopefully with some pictures of our new place...Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-38904217523114697232010-03-21T15:51:00.001-07:002010-03-21T16:09:06.784-07:00March fun continued...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2ahOhBZZZwzoQ48r585T1U4jzPsOqXTP1j3gyhgQkZBP1KRkHyzjdqHKXf2lOm35mVcQkvhk2SCIty4C6gQ2dlzaEVNVUrCF7Z2eVto4l3y2yV2oFK6uRZqUFHrd5lmk464z953QGC0w/s1600-h/March+2010+169.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

His sister came with us in our car and Amber and Crystal drove in Amber's car. We stopped at the Jelly Belly factory first and went on the tour. The girls loved all the samples and the hats. Then we went to the aquarium in Monterey. They had some really neat things there. We had to rush a little at the end because they were closing but it was really fun and the girls loved seeing all the different animals. I had hoped for some bigger animals but I guess that just means we will have to travel to Seaworld next. The weather was beautiful and the town was so neat. It was just a day trip but I think that next time we would like to stay over and explore somemore. We went to the beach after dinner but by that time it was cold and very late. So not quite like the running on the beach I had hoped for. All in all it was a great month. One more down and only three left till this child is born. Chris and I are still waiting to hear about our house. The process is going faster than usual so this has our hopes up but nothing is in contract yet. </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-73990633416466780062010-03-21T15:38:00.000-07:002010-03-21T15:51:22.495-07:00March fun<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9YFVq28ZKmY4SJaNsl3ertghaRtIDMsrqDHQ-Z1Gpcnimzd0S208NuA_cLvBio7uRdKS4C7ZlxfXYRMNu719XVqkPU6ehpg7KIeFKMwiDFRg4Zr-XhihPUP19r6oLa-o-JkAwNyqXcN8/s1600-h/March+2010+106.jpg"></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO9j1XWfFkYcMn4KhENxw3IUvOrspmNp50OU9YmqQRaCitH_OxtOybYx2xeiRB0KGNMZBtTZbCwdb7GvQV9qR4EqplZxUsqzMOWCw-OPRhLbL8MHkQh4F-vmOeyGDCOzREjRv7Ut42YdY/s1600-h/March+2010+081.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451222802686866802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO9j1XWfFkYcMn4KhENxw3IUvOrspmNp50OU9YmqQRaCitH_OxtOybYx2xeiRB0KGNMZBtTZbCwdb7GvQV9qR4EqplZxUsqzMOWCw-OPRhLbL8MHkQh4F-vmOeyGDCOzREjRv7Ut42YdY/s320/March+2010+081.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcpLPymPuSO2nbLee-QPzJIV0AqTwloA1FbzvRfZEDiEiZz5Cjv60rh2gck1QLYo5Z3TU4nsL00RtzpMVyMe6Gdix1BwVHG1HNjTAc8dO1J1wcub8TAbvgKDqYFxRWDOVkOAFt2z-l1ds/s1600-h/March+2010+051.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 239px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451222789402566594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcpLPymPuSO2nbLee-QPzJIV0AqTwloA1FbzvRfZEDiEiZz5Cjv60rh2gck1QLYo5Z3TU4nsL00RtzpMVyMe6Gdix1BwVHG1HNjTAc8dO1J1wcub8TAbvgKDqYFxRWDOVkOAFt2z-l1ds/s320/March+2010+051.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVgmwYu2_pMlP6uHnNqqUtXa4pCya0oq4bdriBDfudjur_LpjhWIEJF4FDIcdNAx34u2Xww5dIlZvj_8zVYMzIdWLrT5dP_MYUhZE-KCDIYQhfmNzvlayJiMdPgtRuAwsyCD3Mt0Na0J0/s1600-h/March+2010+066.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451222776952912962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVgmwYu2_pMlP6uHnNqqUtXa4pCya0oq4bdriBDfudjur_LpjhWIEJF4FDIcdNAx34u2Xww5dIlZvj_8zVYMzIdWLrT5dP_MYUhZE-KCDIYQhfmNzvlayJiMdPgtRuAwsyCD3Mt0Na0J0/s320/March+2010+066.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGfiO7_gnganX2_GaiE3y7GPoxZeExASVOf5qiBl-OeQ8TN8jS0kyYH70sjYbqS0cWZXBZjk-AJCR5Xk7-yInCeDmh84vWGAsoqP4bFac6Jk2wjEnSfAL_1UlFrjWROcj6yjo_TUWr3C4/s1600-h/March+2010+028.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451222762765604850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGfiO7_gnganX2_GaiE3y7GPoxZeExASVOf5qiBl-OeQ8TN8jS0kyYH70sjYbqS0cWZXBZjk-AJCR5Xk7-yInCeDmh84vWGAsoqP4bFac6Jk2wjEnSfAL_1UlFrjWROcj6yjo_TUWr3C4/s320/March+2010+028.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>So this month has been full of adventures. The beginning of the month we had a freak snowstorm that covered Reno. This girls and I decided to make the best of it and headed out to make a snowman. We also made a big fort for a snowball fight but had no one to throw snowballs at. (Chris was at work). Chris sister has been participating in the Miss Reno/Sparks pageant for a few months and it was just something she wanted to try for scholarship money so on the 15th was the pageant and she won!!! It was a really fun thing to watch and her talent, belly dancing, was not only amazing but very unique. Most of the girls did ballet, which was interesting until the third, and fourth and fifth and so on starting doing it too. We are so proud of her!!</div></div></div></div></div>Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-19833095592956686932010-03-03T13:47:00.000-08:002010-03-03T13:51:30.363-08:00Please Pray!!!For all of those who don't know... My good friend and long time family friend is on her mission in Concepcion, Chile and was in the earthquake. She is accounted for and not injured but there is no water and very littel food. The crime is very high and the neighborhood she lives in has luckily built a brigade where everyone has guns to keep them safe. She is not living in her apartment but with a neighbor for safety. Her family finally heard from her yesterday and she says she is fine but bored. She was also asked to remove her name tag because it is not safe to be an American there right now. Please pray for her continued safety and for the rest of people in Chile.Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-19761713541712974802010-02-28T13:43:00.000-08:002010-02-28T13:48:01.860-08:00Sorry no pics...Chris and I made another huge step in our future. We made an offer on our first house!!!! I can't believe it and I though this opportunity wouldn't present itself for years, but it did and here we are waiting to see if it's excepted. We are so excited! Everything else is going great here. We went to the Wailers concert last night and that was a fun experience. It was our first reggae concert. Other than that we are still working and going to school. I am 22 weeks along and this little guy is a wiggler. I'm not quite sure how my mother had so many pregnancies. This one is already uncomfortable and I am not even finished with my second trimester. I will keep you posted on details about the house and hopefully within the next two months I can post before and after pictures!Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-7631365605994153072010-02-04T19:19:00.000-08:002010-02-04T19:21:55.901-08:00It's officialSo had another ultrasound today and it is 100% confirmed there is a little penis growing inside of me. Chris is so excited, as we all are. We can't wait to see what he looks like but one thing we know is that he is going to have two little mommies waiting to over him for the rest of his life. He will always have someone to comb his hair and paint his nails.Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-23949228568505620052010-01-20T14:35:00.000-08:002010-01-20T14:52:37.876-08:00Mercedes turns 3!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt3TP9lcKzv9rZLLLxoOKybyz3JTAc22fPAMehcGknbkxOiWxs3BNiAS8EU21Jf9QcCwqWjmLc0DbHdfE_rgQv7rZTExI599Q4c76wq9426MjtxKj_dAV4oAko37CJ2R32uqiYkFqw6NM/s1600-h/mercedes+bday+029.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 239px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428956919934576946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt3TP9lcKzv9rZLLLxoOKybyz3JTAc22fPAMehcGknbkxOiWxs3BNiAS8EU21Jf9QcCwqWjmLc0DbHdfE_rgQv7rZTExI599Q4c76wq9426MjtxKj_dAV4oAko37CJ2R32uqiYkFqw6NM/s320/mercedes+bday+029.jpg" /></a> I can't believe Mercedes is already three! It has been an adventerous three years and she is a little miracle. There is not a trace of her prematurity except her scars and we are so blessed to have her in our life. We had a small birthday for her at our place with each others families and grandparents. It was a very nice time and we are so glad that we have so many people in our lives to celebrate with. Mercedes loved all her gifts and made some interesting noices when opening them.<br /><br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLDM45dOLcCX_lL1dZPGdN2_dFCchGmB-zKz4at9x4p96pibFn7iW-O1m2e0nXXCagyVuiYMWwC9WFQohjgnQtFhzwU82GZ_LvwVVKz4BT3-srS862ulzh90bJ93gFnIUyeo3Wf_GgQ68/s1600-h/mercedes+bday+024.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

We were bummed some family couldnt be there including Jeremy and Rebecca, Ryan and Shantel and all of Chris's family went down to Mexico for the whole two weeks so Christmas wasnt the same without you guys! But, regardless we still had a great time. We spent Christmas Eve at moms and had the usual Christmas Eve program but with a much smaller group. Then just a lot of relaxing and hanging out with each other. Dad, Heather, Amarber and Chris got to go skiing on day so Mom and I watched the little ones. We made playdough, and homemade pizza for lunch. Mom, you always have great ideas! Chris and I had two weeks off work too so we really got to relax and spend some great quality time with each other and the kids before school starts next week and we are back to work this week. We went ice skating for Julies bday and there are a few pics from that. The girls got an art set for Christmas and they love the painting supplies. They concentrate so hard on it all. Overall it was a great vacation and we are sad to see it ending.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-1258650382607355932009-12-30T19:00:00.001-08:002009-12-30T19:06:00.452-08:00Announcement!Chris and I were pleased to find out that we are expecting our third child at the end of June. I about 14 weeks and have seen the baby twice already. Because of my first pregnancy being cut so short I am still considered a high risk pregnancy which is great because I get to see a specialist once a month as well as my OBGYN. Which means twice as many ultrasounds!! So I saw the specialist last week for an anatomy scan and just for fun I asked her if she could tell he what the baby was. Being only so far along, the doctor is only 75% sure what it is, but it sure looked like a BOY!!!

We had so much fun! The girls were in awe the whole time. I must say that one of the best times to go is during Christmas. The place was covered in Christmas lights and decorations and we got to see the Christmas parade and fireworks. It was amazing and so magical. Right when we entered the park there was trolleys and carrigages both being pulled by horses dressed for Christmas as were the drivers. The girls were so excited to see Mickey and friends, but when Mercedes saw the princesses it was all forgotton. She loved them! They are so good and friendly and do an awesome job of making the children feel comfortable with them. We went on tons of rides including; Mr. Toads Wild Ride, The Haunted House, (which was totally redone from The Night Before Christmas), Pirates of the Carribean, Submarine ride which has been redone with Nemo characters, and most importantly,It's a Small World. (It looked like a huge gingerbread house with all the lights). The girls also got to meet Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore. We did lots of other fun things but those were the highlights. We also got to see all the other characters and princesses in the Christmas parade.Martinez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712121328875232912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946417185555248921.post-47669678873664462072009-11-01T12:51:00.000-08:002009-11-01T12:59:35.912-08:00UNR vs HAWAII<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3KExsgDjR-FxlqOaleTU-x_xjFfYsyyOFy6_r7qvAnNjQXz6H4gb_Os9eUQJwR21QKvAh3Pe1XMO1MNAibfifZf3fsheUFeOuYOhOddNL5NPnt9Ed6L3InYZgcRv_9ypYUC-IzMvdHr0/s1600-h/camera+pics+431.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 239px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399242127285547586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3KExsgDjR-FxlqOaleTU-x_xjFfYsyyOFy6_r7qvAnNjQXz6H4gb_Os9eUQJwR21QKvAh3Pe1XMO1MNAibfifZf3fsheUFeOuYOhOddNL5NPnt9Ed6L3InYZgcRv_9ypYUC-IzMvdHr0/s320/camera+pics+431.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPgQH2g9KxHMwAKTaGNB-Ktcc4ydfQYZ9_ThtVv0V3JJj7AHyS77xl71QkTquCf3Dy7IatxRHNalitoIcChqjpQNAuc8f4F2NWFTD0gg1IllRidFCNeEDYCnNO5iaq2NpLcbwmsWAiRnQ/s1600-h/camera+pics+433.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 239px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399242116472634690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPgQH2g9KxHMwAKTaGNB-Ktcc4ydfQYZ9_ThtVv0V3JJj7AHyS77xl71QkTquCf3Dy7IatxRHNalitoIcChqjpQNAuc8f4F2NWFTD0gg1IllRidFCNeEDYCnNO5iaq2NpLcbwmsWAiRnQ/s320/camera+pics+433.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAKevCnJGlh6L4XjTx7vwu_MHsiKoUXIFtb7dlNHqDC_1adgQd1Zib67OqlKTtdhCsir5nfcLolskqDKdY4_QPtfg1T-8YWHyVfFrCFktgwc-yzJ1X_i2w26B5r21aBJF76DKw7A-8wUU/s1600-h/camera+pics+437.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 239px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399242114068726658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAKevCnJGlh6L4XjTx7vwu_MHsiKoUXIFtb7dlNHqDC_1adgQd1Zib67OqlKTtdhCsir5nfcLolskqDKdY4_QPtfg1T-8YWHyVfFrCFktgwc-yzJ1X_i2w26B5r21aBJF76DKw7A-8wUU/s320/camera+pics+437.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnT0ckHK9fk5EpvdLuFIG_B5nx1QTrhuyPXa8AjmQ2bRcg5jLCH5seospPGApJ3eA_uUV8FTyJxvXHHtHbxoKutXVzt3N25b5C-7Uc9_yegCe0s2G0OXKrfBFWkrzGh5lt9aNaznE9RJ8/s1600-h/camera+pics+434.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399242104133579698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnT0ckHK9fk5EpvdLuFIG_B5nx1QTrhuyPXa8AjmQ2bRcg5jLCH5seospPGApJ3eA_uUV8FTyJxvXHHtHbxoKutXVzt3N25b5C-7Uc9_yegCe0s2G0OXKrfBFWkrzGh5lt9aNaznE9RJ8/s320/camera+pics+434.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwUXvx9bNGpeZ2EjIATM4pRBut9keyqSUUbiaEmwKzq_8CjT_VPuYErH2Ezv5zrOA67r2UBSg9Sd97B3tHKUjp5YKh33xusNCddXjIQufAJlOjpmdqzNA2e94sTtjVqDJpkzEdz-feWuE/s1600-h/camera+pics+427.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399242094187769410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwUXvx9bNGpeZ2EjIATM4pRBut9keyqSUUbiaEmwKzq_8CjT_VPuYErH2Ezv5zrOA67r2UBSg9Sd97B3tHKUjp5YKh33xusNCddXjIQufAJlOjpmdqzNA2e94sTtjVqDJpkzEdz-feWuE/s320/camera+pics+427.jpg" /></a><br />This was so fun. Amber, Brent, Crystal, Litzia George, Jessie and her man all came. It was a slow game but we won and the girls had a blast.
