Happy Birthday Ruby!

Our niece Ruby had her 4th birthday party today. It was such a great cowgirl party and all the kids had a blast. The adults weren't hurtin' either with delicious mexican food and fabulous dessert made by Desi of course... and cute to boot!

We love you so much Ruby and hope that being 4 is awesome!

Emerson, Ruby & Olivia, ready to party!

Mocking Byrd Graphics

Last Friday night I was blessed to have the opportunity to set up a display of my greeting cards, invitation sets and thank you card sets at Paris In A Cup. Paris In A Cup, in Old Town Orange, had a charity event for breast cancer and I got to be a part of this wonderful evening.

It was the first time I put a collection together for my budding company Mocking Byrd Graphics. I usually do freelance projects for personal invitations and business needs like signs and business cards. It was fun to be able to do what ever I wanted creatively for these items. I am so thankful to my kids and husband who bared with me in the week prior to the event and for my mom who always stepped in when I couldn't rush to Emme or Reese.

Here's a few photos of the night...

Are you ready for some football?!!!

It is that wonderful, all American time of year... football season! So, my Eugene, Oregon born husband has managed to turn a bunch of Southern Californians into U of O Duck fans. The gear is on and the team spirit is flowin'. And, of course Emerson is leading us in all the cheers... Gooooo Ducks!

We also get to watch our niece, Jordan, cheer this year (for my alma mater Calvary Chapel High School). She is so awesome and fun to watch. Emerson wants to be just like her cousin, which is fine with us.

We are excited and enjoying all the football family fun!

Road Trip

Our family road

trip to Eugene, OR began on a Thursday at 8pm and we arrived at Grammie Annie's at noon the next day. It was an awesome way to break in the minivan! The Lord was with us and the girls slept great through the night. It was a quick weekend with lots of celebrations. Our niece, Asher, turned one and she was dedicated to the Lord, Great Grandma turned 70 and we got to meet adorable baby Caleb.
