16 days and counting...

Our big day is fast approaching, there is so much stuff to do from centerpieces, hairstyles, make-up trials, cleaning, shopping, prepping, etc! I am so excited to marry Tony, there was something special about him the moment I saw his face. It sounds corny, but it is true. He is such a special person, he is a great brother, son, friend, father, partner, provider, our rock. We love him so much, there is not enough back rubs in the world to show him lol. He might like to challenge that I am sure. Here are some pics of wedding things we have been doing or looking into!

Family Pics ~2012

We were happy to finally have some family pics taken, our friend Wes was sweet enough to take some for us. He is a talented young man! We took a nice little trip up to Spring Mountain Ranch, a little ways past Bonnie Springs. Here are the pics! Enjoy! 05.07.12

where have we been...

I am so lazy, I have not been on here updating this blog, there is soo much going on right now, school, kids, life, oh and a wedding in June! Yes, in 3 months we will be getting married and we have been busy. I just started sending invites out & I only made it to 11 LOL..It is more work than I thought it would be, stuffing envelopes takes some skill haha. Aren't my MOH's supposed to be doing this work with me lol!?? I believe it is in their job description! haha I will post more stories and more pics, thankfully it is Spring Break 2012 for NSC, best thing for me right now!

These two love each other to pieces!

Jazzie and Jr love each other so much and I love seeing them play together laughing, sometimes screaming haha little guy has a habit of pulling his sisters hair which is not nice but he gets so impatient sometimes he yanks on it so hard! He is going to be a little shit! lol he is a little sourpatch kid, sweet and then sour sometimes haha! Jazzie is a really great big sister, I am so proud of her and she is a great little helper!

Teamwork!

Tony was fixing the dishwasher plate one day and as usual, Jr was very curious to see what Tony was doing with all his tools, here are a few pics of Jr being super inquisitive! I love how he is with his daddy!

our new toy... I think it is supposed to go outside lol

Tony ran to get an oil change at wal mart and as he was walking around he decided to bring this home for Jr and it is because he is climbing all over everything so Tony figured this would be safer lol here it is in our LIVING ROOM lol~!

what Jr does while Jazzie takes her horseback lesson!

Jr is such a great little brother, he keeps himself busy while Jazzie takes her lessons on Sadie, here are some pics of what he does to have fun while waiting!

welcome to the world Liliana!

A very special person was born May 12, 2011! My step sister welcomed her first child, a little girl with her husband Lee, they are very excited to be parents and they are doing great along with baby Lily! here is one of my favorite pics of her! She is a little cuddle bug, she enjoys being held!

We miss you Boss-a-Roo!

It has been almost a year since we had to put our precious dog Boss to sleep, he was a great dog, not to mention great body guard =) If he did not like you there was a reason for it haha well maybe he loved me so much he wanted me all to himself! We love you and miss you so much Boss, you will always be remembered and greatly missed! RIP my baby!

Jazzie's first tooth...it came out!

On April 4th, 2011 Jazzie was out in the park playing and a nice lady with her grand daughter was out there and she offered the girls some oreos! how nice! Jazzie comes running home and opens the door and opens her mouth and says look mom, my tooth finally came out after I bit into an oreo !! lol, she looked so cute, as she handed me her tiny tooth I dropped it and we searched for 10 minutes on the doorstep =) my fault I know lol but anyhow we did find the tooth and she did not even bleed very much, if at all! Her big girl grown up tooth is coming in right away , so white and shiny lol I put her tooth in a ziploc baggie, tucked her into bed later that night and she awoke to 10$ under her pillow and the build a bear card didnt hurt either hahahaha, she asked me why her tooth was still in the bag and I said oh well, the tooth fairy always let you keep your first tooth lol (OMG was I supposed to take the tooth out of the bag lol!? I totally forgot the protocol lol ..I almost blew that one ROFL!!!!) I have not lost a tooth in a longgg time so forgive me lol here is a pic of my baby girl after she lost her tooth, so proud haha, she has a little lisp now haha sooo cute!!

We have a new roomie lol!

All the kids were playing at the park on Sunday and Jazzie came home and told me there was a rat in the park, well she actually said it was a mouse lol. I did not really think it was alive, I figured the poor thing had been dead and almost got run over by someone on their bike who did not see it, well... long story short we left it out there until Tony followed me out to the park to look for it after the kids were asleep, we found it and Tony scooped him up and put him into an empty diaper box haha, I was too scared to pick him up but the next day I went and got him a cage..food..bedding ..etc lol I wrote the lady who heads our HOA and asked her to send out letter to community to see if anyone claims him, for now we are fostering him lol Jazzie named him PETAL lol no clue why but she also calls him Ratatouille lol or splinter as Tony calls him! He is no bother at all, he plays all night and sleeps all day, what a life haha 

wedding!

I am excited to announce that Tony and I have set a wedding date! ...(drumroll please!) ...June 21, 2012 here in Las Vegas, I am super excited to finally agree on a date lol, we can barely agree on a spot to go to breakfast sometimes let alone a WEDDING DATE ahhh, I am excited to become Kristen A. Sonnenberg! Tony loves me for the pain in the butt that I am and will always be, for better or for worse right!? lol What a lucky man haha, anyhow here is a few ideas of what I want in a dress =)

My new nephew...or something like that!

I just wanted to introduce everyone to the newest member of our family, my nephew haha Dexter DeVito Leonard, he is a blue nose pitbull and he likes long walks on the beach and tummy rubs, he is a sweetie but watch those sharp puppy teeth, those are no joke! I would not call him energetic because all he likes to do is sleep, it takes an act of god to get him to even chase a ball lol! He is a fan of riding on your lap in the car and cuddling in the bed watching DEXTER with you! Here is a pic of him...

Jr & Chassidy sitting in a tree...

I love this picture so much, it is of Anthony & Chassidy (my friends little sweetheart!) This was taken of them at our friends sons birthday party! They are always checking each other out and they get along very well, such happy toddlers they are! After I took this pic, I realized that jrs shirt says Peace in a peace sign of course lol and Chassidy's says LOVE , OMG peace and love <3, how cute are these ones, I see a love connection don't you!!?? They look lost in this moment with each other haha, so sweet!

The Magic Treehouse?!!

Jazzie loves to be outdoors, I swear she takes after my Aunt Cathy lol! I always said if I told Jazzie she could live outside in a tent she would be one happy camper hahaha happy camper omg I crack myself up! She comes home from school, gets a snack, does some homework and runs outside in a hurry to play with her friends! This is her latest obsession...the magic treehouse, there is no house in the tree (maybe just the one in their imagination! =), just a tree in our little neighborhood park that the kids around here love to play in! I am happy to say they all take turns sitting in the branches very nicely! Here is a pic of her in the tree!

Jazzy's new pal!

I have been searching for a place where jazzy could take horseback riding lessons and I have finally succeeded! Jazzy started lessons 03/19/11 with Sam her trainer! I am so happy for jazzy because she has been wanting to do this forever! Her horse she rides is named Sadye, she is a 17 year old Arabian and Sam has had her since she was 3 months old! She is very gentle with miss jazzy! She loves getting brushed but is not a fan of the windy weather (who really is!) We don't blame you Sadye :) pics to come!

Happy Birthday to my sweetheart!

Today we celebrate my babes 32nd birthday! How lucky we are to have him in our lives! We love you and appreciate all that you do! after a long day at school, grabbed him a cake that he likes and made him a yummy dinner of filet mignon and lobster tails, I am not a fan of seafood but he loves it and it is his birthday! =) love you lots babe!

... Gemini!?? ...

Here is the little guy sitting in his dad's chair where he usually sneaks and taps away on the computer keys haha it is not what he is supposed to do but I think it is funny how he gets himself in this chair! He probably feels like such a big boy! So if you do not know already, Mr Anthony is a Gemini (can you tell haha) I took some pics so you can see for yourselves haha! ENJOY the many moods of little guy and check out this head of hair, he is a whopping 20 months old tomorrow and he has had 5 haircuts! Yes, 5 haircuts already in his life!!!

our beautiful weather on Superbowl!

Jazzie and Anthony painting some suncatchers, okay so I painted a few too!! It was so nice out so we enjoyed the gorgeous weather!

Snow in Vegas!? barely lol

I know this was a few weeks back but see how it goes from almost snowing to 85 degrees out! Here are a few pics I took on the morning we woke up to it snowing, it did not stay long though!
