Round 3

I'm never really sure how I feel about showing the pee stick, but hey I did it- I peed on that stick. We are going for round 3- our little babe will be joining the Huffman House in April- right between Keia and Mattix's birthdays. I am 14 weeks and finally feeling better- this little guy was a doozy. There will be no update until April as to what we are having because we are going to be surprised- but let me just state right here for the record- I think it is a boy.

Onto more things we have been up to... I turned 29 last month- my last year in the twenties- so craaazzy. Here is the cake my mom and kiddies made for me- it was by far the best gift I received!


My boo is turning 31 this next week so his fam came out to celebrate. We had a great time- Matt got to do his favs: golfing, surfing, then we went to see BYU play against SDSU. Here are some pics from our fun weekend- Happy Birthday Boo- you are officially entering the thirties!!! I am so proud of you- thanks for working so hard for our fam, but best of all you are an amazing dad and hubby. Love you!!

Huffman Update

Since I am not a very good blogster, I thought I would just update everyone on the Huffman Fam and put up some random pics of what we have been up to. It will be a year next month we have been in San Diego... so crazy!! Matt is doing really well at his job and things are starting to look up. I am still working at the preschool and just waiting to retire =) We love our weekends and time together as a fam and LOVE being back by the beach. Keia is doing well in her 4 year old class- she cries if her teacher even says her name in a disapproving way- she HATES getting in trouble. In fact the other day we were out to dinner and I was asking how her day was-she said, "It was okay, I did something wrong and I don't want to talk about it." Mmmmm... should I push this or respect that she doesn't want to talk about it, so we try some other creative ways of getting it out of her- but she just continued to say she wanted to stop talking about it. DAYS later I am telling some teachers at my school this story and Keia overheard me- she said, "MOM, don't tell them! The teacher told me to listen at circle time- okay!" So that was the big mystery, I guess I should be grateful that my daughter likes to be good, but does she have to talk to me like she is 12??? Mattix just keeps learning more and more- his teacher at school is awesome! He has been officially potty trained for over a month now- he was so easy- nothing like potty training Keia!!! He loves to inform us when something is "not funny". He cracks us up.
Anywho, we are all healthy and doing well- enjoy our random pics!

Keia went on a daddy date, Matt is brainwashing her to love golf... she actually really enjoys it!

Mattix in his "big boy" underwear, so cute!


Everytime my dad sees my kids, he brings these giant lollipops -EVERY TIME, the mean mother I am, I only let them take one bite!


Keia is now diving in the pool- so I thought I should get her some goggles (of course you can't get something for one of your kids and not the other). They wanted to sleep with their goggles for a couple of days- they wear them more around the house than in the pool!

We all went to Disneyland for Matt's sister and brother's birthday. Uncle Tomi spoiled all the girls with Mickey ears. That was a fun day!

We got to meet Elmo at Sea World!

Serious Fireworks

Happy Fourth America! We went to Vegas to spend the holiday with family- it was so much fun. The kids loved the sparklers and even the fireworks!! The other pictures are during June- do you like my monthly blogs??? I'll work on it...




Love this picture of Mattix, the kids all love Obachan (Ba Ba)























I took Keia to the Del Mar Fair with my sister and nephew. She charged the roller coaster- she seriously has no fear!! We had a lot of fun!




















This is Keia at her preschool- they were having their last party outside- she moved up to the four-year old room. I try to go visit her, but apparently she is too cool for mom to come see her... I didn't realize this would start so soon, maybe I should get a tatoo... tee hee.













Her great teachers- who she still talks about!

April & May Pics...

Mattix turned 2!! He is definitely a toddler now- we call him echo. He literally loves to copy every single thing anyone says and anything that his big sister does. He is a our little comedian- he loves laugh and make others laugh.
The best 2 things I love about this little boy are:

1. He is always making me laugh, whether he is meaning to or not- what a great quality to have!
2. He is my little snuggler- that kid loves to be close to you and be held (since birth), I will be sad when this goes away! I guess I could still hold him when he is 20- whatever he is into.

Here are some pictures from his second birthday on April 27. We took him mini-golfing (since he is obsessed with anything "ball"). Then we went to a restaurant to open his presents- it was a great day.



Matt's dream to have any of his kids be a pro golfer!

Just like daddy.




Yes, he put this sticker on himself, he must get his weirdness from Matt =)

Legoland was having a fundraiser and it only cost 15 bones to get in, so we were on top of that!! Keia still talks about that day!





Vegas Baby... we had a mini-family reunion in May with Matt's family in Vegas. It was such a fun weekend, Keia & Mattix loved playing with their cousins and grandparents. I had fun hanging with the girls and Matt got to golf 36 holes in one day...not my idea of fun!!!



LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PICTURE! thanks sista

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PICTURE TOO!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl

Keia turned 4 on March 29.




We went to Ruby's on the Oceanside Pier for her actual birthday. Then on Easter weekend we had her birthday "tea"party. We invited her friends from school and had donuts and chocolate milk. We had to dress up as princesses of course. I just love the little girl Keia is becoming. The FOUR things I love the most about her is:
1) She is a peacemaker- she does not like to be in trouble and is always making sure everyone is okay. She will sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star to Mattix in the car when he is upset. She is so patient with Mattix, it makes it so nice for me!
2) Keia is a quick learner and loves to learn new things. I love being able to talk to her about things and she remembers everything.
3) She is always reminding me what Jesus loves and wants us to do. I love her prayers and little insights.
4) Keia cracks me up. I am really weird, therefore my daughter can be so silly- I love it!!!

Here are some pictures of my little princess- she is one of our greatest blessings.






My Mother-in-law made this beautiful cake!!!

One with Nature

We have a bunch of trails by our house, so for Sundays, we like to go on "Nature walks." For some really odd reason, my kids love rocks- who knew. Today I told Keia that she could take pictures of things on our walk- she loved it. Therefore, all these pictures are taken by Keia- except the one I took of her... our photographer. For the video- please read the caption before watching!!
Keia liked this rock.... mmmm.

Pretty flowers.

The ground.

Love this picture, you can see Keia's shadow taking the picture.

So, I had no idea that Matt was filming behind me, filming my behind. This video is pretty boring, but if you watch Mattix the whole time, then it is pretty funny- we are totally oblivious to Mattix eating it and getting hurt, until the end of the video. You can hear in the video him trying to tell us he's hurt. Side note: WE ARE NOT WEARING MATCHING CLOTHES!!! I AM FULLY AWARE OF WHAT WE ARE WEARING, Matt wanted me to mention this!

(Okay we are working on putting the movie up- keep you posted on that!!)

Feathertastic

So my sister-in-law, Erika Allred makes the most incredible hair pieces. She mailed me some and I decided to model them for you because I think she is sooo talented and should be selling these- big time. Anywho- enjoy my modeling shoot and pics of her feather hair thingys. I am hoping she will let me post her email address in case any of you are interested in buying one from her!!!
