JANUARY:
In January I turned 25, and we both went back to school. i decided to finish my AA. Our good friends the Smiths had a baby girl! they named her Brenna Grace. get it? BR(andon)en(cristi)NA Brenna! :) so we took her big sister Emma for a few days while all the new baby drama went down.
We took Emma to watch the Princess and the Frog...she REALLY wanted to watch Avatar though!! hahah!!! Funniest 3 year old i know!
This is Me and Emma at the Hospital going to meet her new baby sister.
and this is us with the baby!!! the 1st non family to hold her!!! she was so small.
FEBRUARY:
My dad bought me an iPhone for my birthday late in Jan...Jan 30th actually. so in February i started bad habits of taking photos of random people...
this was FEBRUARY mind you, i know it doesn't get REALLY cold in Hayward, but this girl is ridiculous:
see what i mean?!?! she's nuts!!! also in feb we went to LDS night at the warriors! Warriors vs. Jazz...to be honest...i don't remember who won. See how into basketball we are? we're a baseball people!!
MARCH:
in march we turned 2 years old!!!! I went to school, came to work and these were delivered to me:
the boy did well! he knows that i LOVE LOVE LOVE orchids. i'd hope so...they were our wedding flowers. :/ also in march, i decided to dye my hair. i got this idea to have a section of hair and periodically change the color. throughout the year, its been a series of colors...but it all started with BLEACHING it...i had to bleach it 3 times to achieve this color...my poor locks, they hate me for it:
APRIL:
you ever have one of those months that you're always down? April was that for me. it's would have been my Grandpa's birthday. i miss him everyday! EVERYDAY!!! though when he was alive he lived here in the States, but when i was in High School...he moved back to Nicaragua. he passed away Dec 29th 2003 (the night before my moms bday. so april is always a sad month for me. one day i was at work and i was looking in my purse for my burts bees...and found this:
brandon must have known i was having a bad time and put these in there...because i certainly do not remember buying them.
Also, we have a tradition with the Rohner's. EASTER EVE!!!! it started on our wedding day. when the boys "decorated" Brandon's car...they used SHAVING CREAM! you can imagine how i felt about this...so we went home after the reception to change into normal clothes and headed over to the rohner's for them to hose the car off. we ended up staying to dye Easter eggs. so we now have this tradition that on Easter Eve we do easter eggs and have food.
i then made a Reggae egg...they called it a Regg-egg:
MAY:
on my dad's side of the family i'd say that 70% of my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc...have may birthdays. so instead of having a bday party everyday of the month, we've ALWAYS had a "May Birthdays" picnic.
this is a pic of my dad and his siblings. there were originally 18 of them...only 9 are left:
My Nephew LOVES cars:
and there's me and the sibs...minus nena. so basically, me and the boys:
