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.
