Point No Point.

2012/13 is going to be a big year. My sister jessy graduates this year and will be heading off to college soon after. My sister alexis is heading into middle school and just made the cheer squad. I just started a new job i really enjoy and cj... well he is just being cj. With that being jessy wanted to do something as a family since after this school year things will be changing. We decided to take a trip to Point no Point. Its about 45 minutes ish away from our house and it is a actually beach.
 You may want to laugh at me when i say actually beach but i will explain why i say that. I am from Cali, so when you visit a beach it involves sand. Washington beaches typically don't have that. They have rocks instead of sand. Not very feet friendly if you ask me.
 It was a great trip though and it was liyahs first time at at beach. She loved it. According to her the name of the ocean was pool. She enjoyed playing in the sand and if she could she would have stayed in the water. Jessy had to take her out because she noticed the shivering. It wasn't exactly warm when we visited but it still was a nice and enjoyable day. Great family time spent together. A blog post wouldn't be complete if I didn't have pictures to go along with it.
 Most of the pictures are taken by my brother who is an inspiring photographer. He did a pretty good job.

2nd birthday

This year, just like the previous year we had a small get together for liyahs birthday. I was awesome. The sun came out, there was a ton of food, a nice amount of people showed up. It was a really great day. Couldn't ask for much more for her birthday. No theme really, just had a dora cake :). It was one of the hottest days of the summer so we all got pretty tan. She enjoyed herself and im so happy about the turn out.
 On of my favorite moments is when everybody sang happy birthday to her. She became very nervous and held on to me. Her face had an expression that said " How do they all know its my birthday and why are they all singing about it." It was adorable.

Pool time :)

Liyah loves the pool. Whether its the little kiddy pool or the huge pool at the ymca. If she could, she would totally live in the pool haha. I dont have a huge story to go a long with this but i thought it would be cute to show some pictures :)

The reason

I haven't been able to keep up on my post about Liyah lately. Part of it is because I had nothing to talk about. Now it's because I have been working. Yep, that's right. Yvonne finally got a J O B :)
It has been weird and very challenging to juggle both. I use to be a work a holic but now I can't over work myself because Liyah wont get the attention she needs from me.
I love my job and I can see myself being here for awhile. I work at jc Penney :).
With that being said I don't always get to see Liyah on her adventures because I'm not here.  I promise to get better though :)
