Catch up......

I'm sorry I haven't kept you all "up to date" with everything. So, here is the 411.
My little munchkin turned 1....can you believe it??!! She's getting so stinkin' big. I felt horrible for her though, because she was so sick on her birthday. Double-ear infection, plus we're having big allergy issues. Poor baby was miserable! I wished so bad that I could take her spot, but I couldn't. :-( So, I held her and rocked her for HOURS!! But, we're doing much better....after 2 rounds of antibiotics. She's such an amazing little girl. Every time you see her you can't help but smile. She's one of the greatest joys that God has brought to my life! Can't imagine my life without her! I love you baby!

Yay for me! This was the first birthday though that I have ever had alone. Well, Jonathan and the girls did a great job making me feel so special....but this was the first time that none of my family was here. Mandy and Matthew moved a couple of weeks ago to Georgia, and mom and daddy are in El Dorado and Mindi's still in Conway.

When I got to work on my birthday morning, my hubby had beautiful red roses in my locker waiting for me. Such a stinker!! (I'm definitely not complaining.....) He had requested my birthday off, so all day he ran around doing things for it. When I got home I had lots of presents waiting for me!! YAY ME!!!!

He got me an art easel!! It's so awesome!! And he got me lots of paint and brushes and pencils and just all kinds of stuff. I use to paint and draw so much. I loved it. But, I haven't done it in so long!! He said that he wanted to get me something that was just for me....not something I needed, but something that was 'my thing', something that would take my mind off of all that was going on and let me go into a world of my own. I haven't even known where to start with it. Can't wait though, I already have tons of ideas going through my mind!!

He also got me a new hoody!! I love it!! It's says "De Alba Since 2009" It's pink....which makes me love it even more. I wear it everywhere!

Oh, the chocolate cake above is a Coldstone Ice cream Cake!!! Woohoo!!! And boy was it good!!

My job is going great. I'm loving it more each day. Everyday I'm learning something new, assisting with surgeries, and so much more! My first test for my certification is on the 10th this month....I'm nervous, but i should do okay. Doc gave me plenty of things to study and prepare!! It will be exciting to have one thing down; Check!!!

The girls are both getting so big! Brooklyn is going to be 5 in a couple of weeks....I'm speechless and blown away! She's my little princess! She's doing so good in school and I can't believe that she'll be starting Kindergarten this fall!!! Holy Moly!!!

Heidi is walking now!! FINALLY!! She's such a mess....into everything!!!! We have to be careful with the house and make sure she's not getting into something that she's not suppose to be in.

Well, I'm going to go draw!!

Love you all!
