We All FALL down!!!

Fall is here, yeah!!! Time for pumpkins and leaves changing! This is my most favorite time of year! So much fun things to start crafting!!

Longtime NO BLOG!!

Welp I have started yet another job but I am very happy doing it! I got a job for a Seattle based clothing company called Romy. I am now the General Manager for the Chandler Mall location. The store will open next week and I am so excited. I have been over at Desert Sky mall opening up the store there and going to the different locations to help open the stores here in Arizona. I am so excited as this is a great opportunity for me. I am still at Massage Envy only one day a week for like 4 hours but hey it pays for my massages so I like that. Lee is still looking for a job so the opportunity with Romy came at a great time. The money and benefits are great.

I have been super busy and really haven't had a chance to do much, I did however get to hang out with the Howard Twiners on Friday so that was fun. Rachel's boys are getting bigger everyday. They are cute. Lynn also came over and I got to see little smiley Andrew who is also getting big. He plays and laughs out loud, soo cute. It is really cute to see Lynn and Rachel as new moms and they both look amazing after having babies!! I have not seen Jessie Boo Boo bear in quite some time but she is busy pimpin herself out at Great Clips so I understand.

Lee's 30th B-day is coming up on Saturday August 22nd. I have no idea what to get him. He has been talking about a Brazilian Steakhouse in Scottsdale so I think I will take him there but I really wanted to get him something special but have no clue. Any ideas, anyone????

Lots of fun things going on right now,Lee and I took Jacob to a water park and he had fun. I think Lee had more fun going down the water slides than all the kids in the park. It was hilarious I wish I had a camera. We took both Jake and Ryan to Peter Piper and that was a disaster. Ryan I love him but man he is a lot of work. He gets mad because he wants to throw the ski balls but they hit the wall and bounce back which is dangerous since the balls are kinda heavy. Anyway he got mad at me and bit me. He is so cute though and I hope he will talk soon. Jacob also started first grade this year and he lost his tooth on the first day. I can't believe it, it seems like he was just born. Time flies!!

Danica my cute little niece is getting so big. Marina and Nate got her ears pierced and she looks like a little lady. Soo cute. I want to find her some little diamond studs. She is a good happy baby.

Anyway blog ya later!!!

Okay Okay I know it's been quite awhile. I have been super busy lately. I did start a new job as a sales coordinator at Massage Envy. I do like it and it's a lot less stressful than my previous job at Gold Canyon. I think getting massages on a weekly basis adds to it. Anyway I still haven't been able to get my pics on my computer because Lee added some new software on the computer and now it's not recognizing my camera, we are getting another computer soon so hopefully that will fix the problem. Anyway Lee was laid off from his job and will be on the job hunt here shortly. He has a bachelors degree in graphic design so if anyone knows of anything let us know, he is very talented.

Rachel had her twin babies which was very exciting. Me and Lee went to visit the Howards last night and hung out with Asher and Cole. They are so cute. Rachel and Scott have their hands full but it's so worth it. I haven't been able to hang out that much with Lynn. I need to call her soon, Lynn if your reading this "I am so sorry and we will get together soon''.

More exciting news my cousin Bridget had a baby girl on July 2nd. Her name is Audrina Bailey Vega. She was quite the firecracker and came into this world with a bang :)!!

We had a nice 4th of July and hung out with the family, swimming and BBQ. Nate and Danica came over. Danika was in her swimsuit and loved the water. Marina had to work so we didn't get to see her but hopefully soon. She is deffinately a busy mommy.

I will post pics soon. I have lots to share.

It's been awhile

I know, I know...It's been awhile. I have lots to write about. I am loading my pics onto my computer so as soon as it's done I will update my blog. Lots of fun stuff to share.

Good times and Great Friends!

Yesterday was pretty fun, I got to hang out with Ryan almost all day. He is getting big so fast. In the morning I went to pick him up and then we met Tasha, Tiffany, Chloe, new baby girl Martinez, and Hunter at the park. It was fun because I haven't gotten to hang out with Tasha and her sister Tiffany in forever. I'm sure everyone remembers Tasha. She has been my friend since the 3rd grade. She was my partner in crime and we have tons of hilarious stories of all the fun/crazy times together like the time we got home at 5am and threw dirt all over our jeans so it looked like we got a flat tire and tried to fix it (Tasha you remember that one don't you, and John woke up) or the time we took Doug's car or the time we threw eggs at Peter's house because he was a jerk to me. Anyway there are so many stories. AHHHH GOOD TIMES!!

Back to the park... After the park Ryan went down for a nap and when he woke up we went to Tasha's moms house who I haven't seen Sydney in forever. It was good to see her. She still is eating her candy and looks good. Anyway me and Tasha are going to start to get together more often. I love you Tasha and I miss you and I'll call you in 5 minutes and you could be saving money with Geico.

After that I dropped Ryan off. He had a fun day and got to see a doggie so I'm sure he was a happy camper. I then went over to hang out and have din-din with Rachel Howie and her sister Jessie Boo-Boo bear. Another sister duo I love. We ordered Peeba (that's pizza) and pretty much stocked and hoovered over Mackenzie, Jess's baby girl. I literally almost had to elbow Jess in the face to hold Mackenzie (sorry about that Jess, you know how I get..worse you know how Rachel gets if she doesn't get to hold her). We had a good time, Jess did some Nancy Drew faces and we called it a night.

Even for not having a job I really have been pretty busy lately so it was nice to get to see good friends yesterday. Welp off to do some last minute baby shower shopping, this Saturday is Rachel's day!! Yeah!! We are soo happy for her and Scott. She is expecting TWINS weeeeeee!!!

Go D-Backs!

I finally got my pictures onto my computer..Yeah!! It took forever but at least the computer is up and going again. It was on the fritz for a while. Anyway Lee and I went to the D-Backs game last night which they won. It was fun and I say that because anyone who knows me knows that I love hotdogs so of course I got a yummy Chicago style dog and enjoyed the game. There was one part of the game that was pretty annoying, a drunken lesbian couple (not judging) who were probably around 60 yrs old were yelling stuff every few minutes and then one decided to take her shoes off and spread her toes out on the railing. It was foul, who spreads big toes all over a guard rail that many people touch. Siieeck! Anyway I had my hotdog so I was a happy camper. I got bored for a bit and decided to take a pic with Lee.

I also finally have pics of the cute little Danica. She is sooooo cute. I must say she is possibly the cutest baby girl in the world. I miss her maybe I will see her this weekend. Anyway just thought I'd share my pics.

The Weekend

Let's see where to being...Friday night I stayed home and did some baby shower stuff, got the favors done and tried to think of a seating way to arrange stuff. I watched a movie called Rachel Getting Married, it was horrible and made no sense. Lee and I are working on some things so we spent Saturday joint at the hip, we went to the Phoenix Art museum in the afternoon which if you have ever been to the Louvre museum in France you just can't compare it. The Louvre is amazing and the art is incredible with such great history behind it.

Later we went to Jacob's football games. He had two and won both. His team is undefeated so far. He was so funny every time he pulled a flag he would wave it up in the air for about a minute. It was funny.

We then went to Nick and Veronica's (they just got engaged)for game night/drinks. Cyrus came with us and talked about chicks the whole way there (what's new), he needs a blonde nice girlfriend so if anyone knows any nice girls.:) We had a good time. Armondo and Maureen were there (they just got engaged) and Vanessa and Jamie. We played cranium and partini which were both fun. We said we are going to have to make more game nights atleast once a month. We got home around 4am so I pretty much slept all day long and Lee went golfing. It was nice to get some good sleep.

Anyway that was the weekend.

Great Weather!

It's been a while but the time has come...I'm going back to school! That's right, I'm tired of messing around and really want my degree. I would love to work in the Fashion Industry traveling all over the world, it's a dream I've had for quite a while. Anyway classes start soon and I'm really prepared to make it happen this go-round!

I have kinda been laying low a little, lots of things going on. Anyway I went to the mall with Britt on Monday and that was interesting. My first ever public transportation outing. I told her it was kind of relaxing to have someone else drive you around. I wish her wheel chair could go in my car so we could go all over, maybe Lee should build me a ramp! :) We bought a few things and of course I spent well over $200 in a matter of hours so that was bad, however I did purchase my Flight of the Conchords tickets which I am super excited to go see them. The show is on the same night as The Kings Of Leon concert so that sucks but I think it will still be fun. Britt got a really cute dress and some other fun things. She cracks me up with how many Starbucks drinks and coffee she can have in one day...and I thought I was bad! :)

I feel bad I haven't seen my little niece Danica in a few weeks and I am starting to get withdrawls. She is sooooooo cute. I can't wait for everyone to see pictures unfortunately my computer has been acting funny and I can't get to my pics. Sorry!

Lee has been putting around the Golf Courses on the weekends so that's what he's up too. I'm still in the planning mode of Rachel's shower but I must say I am really crafted out. Lynnerkins had her baby boy Andrew on good Friday so we are excited for her and Jeff.

I am still looking for a job, most likely part time because of my school schedule. I hated the bank and will never apply for a banking job. So not my cup of tea!

Easter was good. Hung out with the family, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandpa. Jacob said it was the best Easter ever!! I think because we had a water ballon fight and we played baseball, he loves that kind of stuff not to mention he gets 4 Easter baskets. Ryan was cute, we put him in a big Easter basket with eggs and toke pictures while he ate candy. I will have to get those pictures from Auntie June, I bet they are funny. We also played a board game that Grandpa made. I must say it was pretty fun, it had cards and marbles. I have no idea what it was called.

Anyway I hope everyone had a great holiday and has been enjoying the awesome weather. Blog-ya-later!!

Back Again!

Welp it's been a crazy few weeks. I went to California then came back and started my new job at the Federal Credit Union. I really needed a job. I was getting used to rolling out of bed at 10am. NOT GOOD! Anyway Nate and Marina (my brother-in-law and new sister-in-law) had their baby while I was out of town but I did get to meet Danica Corrine Pace when I got back. I will have to put pics up of her when I load them on the computer. She is soo adorable , her and Marina are doing good. She loves getting her hair washed so I'm sure her and Auntie Stephanie will be going to a few day spa's when she is old enough. Danica looks like her daddy but has some of her mommy's features as well. She is going to be a little super-model.

So I am just learning everything with my new job and let me tell you, there is lots to learn. Yikes!! Lee has been really getting into golf and has been going almost every weekend so between that and work he's been busy too. Anyway it's good to be back in the work force again. Staying at home is not for me unless I had kids... maybe someday.

Hello!Goodbye.

I'm off to California to attend my uncle/Godfather Ray's funeral. We will all miss him very much. I know one day we will see him again so it's not so much a goodbye but just a little time away for him. My cousin Samantha who is two years younger than me, she is Ray's daughter. I know she needs prayers more than ever right now. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Sanchez family.

God has a plan for all of us!

I always tell Lee that God has a plan and I'm not sure what that plan is for us but he has one. This week he has really tested that. Some of my closest friends and immediate family know that me and Lee have been trying to have kids now for 2 years. We have even went to fertility doctors to try different medications. Anyway Lee and I decided this year is our year, 2009 (woot, woot). Despite the strange events that our year has started out with we are trying to maintain a positive outlook on it all. We have a goal this year to buy our first home that's the first plan and if baby comes before or after that plan, even better! Just had to put that thought out loud.

This weekend my dad lost his brother Ray and my godfather to cancer. Although uncle Ray will not be with us his spirit and memory will always be in our hearts forever. I am so lucky that he was able to come to our wedding. We will miss him so much. We are thankful God did not make him suffer long. We will pray for him and his family during this difficult time.

The Jesters

So today I went over to Jesters (that's Jesslyn), we have lots of fun names for her. We got a lot of the Howard Twinerz baby shower planning underway. It will be really cute. I don't want to give away anything since Rachel reads this so I will show pictures after her shower on April 18. I got to hold Mackenzie for a long time (isn't her picture soo cute). She is so adorable. Jess is such a good brand new mommy! I made Mackenzie a really cute headband with a giant flower on it but I wasn't able to get a picture of her with it using my camera. I must say for my first time attempt at sewing I did pretty darn good. I am making some for my some- to- be niece, Danika that is due any day now. I will post pics of them sometime next week. We can't wait to meet her! Anyway Jess is always a lot of fun. She does the best Nancy Grace impressions. Lee played basketball last night so I didn't really get a chance to hang out with him but we did watch our new favorite show last night, ''Flight of the Conchords''. It is on HBO and it is hilarious. You should check out some of thier videos on Youtube. My favorite is called, ''Business Time'' and the ''Hiphopapotumus". Well I'm off to go visit my cousin Brittney in Glendale. We are going to be making cards and other crafty stuff. She is my fellow crafter. She always makes the cutest stuff. Every time we get together we could talk for hours. She cracks me up, I love her. We have lots of fun memories together when we were younger. Every time I hear, ''Thats Amore'' by Dean Martin I think of her and her brother Aaron. We were such dorks. Anyway I love hanging out with her and wish she lived closer so I could see her more but she loves her new house. Wah! Wah Waaaahhh! Off to go crafting!

Hitchcock Rugrats!

So today I was watching the cutest little boys in the world who are also little monsters... my nephews. We had a good time. It's always entertaining with Ryan (1) and Jacob (6). I gave Ryan Frosted Flakes for breakfast which I'm not sure if my sister ever lets him eat that but I thought what the heck, he was crying to get Jacob's cereal so just give him some. He didn't love it as much as he loved the licorice I had to give him so he would let me change his diaper, shhhh...Don't tell Annette. Jake and I played guitar hero for a bit. He is really good, he kicked my butt a few times. I took his picture with the guitar but you can't really tell he's holding the guitar then he told me I should practice like him. His favorite song on the game was Welcome to the Jungle by Guns & Roses. It was funny to watch him because he knows the words to the song.

They are getting big so fast. Jacob is finishing kindergarten in May and will be in first grade. It seems like he was just a baby. Ryan on the other hand is not talking completely but says, ''More". That is his favorite word which gets him anything he wants from his mommy, daddy, and his Nana. They are such a hand full but they are so cute. I love those little rugrats!

I then went to Devine Memories to get some stuff for my friend Rachel's baby shower that we are going to be throwing for her. She is having twin boys so if anyone can think of any cute shower ideas let me know. She is super excited to be a new mommy. She is gorgeous so you know her kids are going to be adorable. I am soo excited for her and her husband Scott. They are going to be great parents. I'll share pics from the shower.

Anyway my day was eventful. Tomorrow I'm going to Jessie Boo Boo Bears (that's Jesslyn) to go over some shower stuff. Jess is Rachel's sister who is also gorgeous. She just had a baby girl who is a little peanut. Her name is Mackenzie. I'm sure I will take pictures of her tomorrow so I will post them later. Makenzie is such a little doll.

Welp off to eat dinner with my giant Panda bear (Lee), beef tacos tonight! Yum-O!!

Welcome to the Pace Family blog!!

So my best friend since 6th grade, Tasha has turned me onto this blogging. We talked yesterday and she was telling me about hers. I hadn't talked to her in a while but every time we do talk it's like we've talked forever. I have had lots of crazy and fun memories with her. I love her.

So anyway I'm not much of a writer but thought I'd give it a shot. It's a fun way to keep in touch and to store those daily happenings that we sometimes forget. I will post more stuff later.
