WOW

has it really been that long since my last blog?...doesn't seem like it but i guess it has.  got caught up in the family life and the blessings it has showered us with.  so let me fast forward a bit and share with you a little somethin new (circle of life chant...)

...BOOYAH!!!

so this little dude is 4 months now and man oh man...let me tell ya..what a difference.  we've been sleeping a little more and he's been a bit easier to handle.  It's been tough for the past few months but the JOY this little one has brought, i can't even describe in words.

and she's been such a great big sis..

   hope that puts a smile in all your faces.  good day!!!

REGINA + ALEX

"Before Kobe & Shaq won their first ring 
 Before Diana & Jason, or Mark & Steph were ever a THING
 Before all the break ups, weddings, and babies occurred

 There was a boy from New Jersey, and a California girl..."

since their move from Jersey to Cali...they learned how to "ride"...

...BICYCLES!!!

Abstinence is "key" before marriage...but you gotta get "some" somehow

Congrats my friends!  Looking forward to the BIG day
