Shanna Home For the Holidays!

Shanna came home a little early to spend the holiday's with us. We we're so happy she got to come and get here safe through the snow. Andrew got a new car from his aunt & uncle and LOVES it! Here are some pic's of his new ride.

Andrew's Christmas Pictures

Happy Birthday Faith!

We're having a boy!

Well, mommy better get some running shoes, because now we're going to have two little boys to run after. Grandpa is convinced we are having football players just for him lol. Who knows...if this one is bigger than 10lbs we might put him in football as soon as he is born lol.

Trick-Or-Treat on Safety Street

This year we took Andrew to Trick-Or-Treat on Safety Street at the Fremont Community Center. It was perfect for his fist trick-or-treating experience. He had so much fun trick-or-treating, doing crafts, and picking out a pumpkin. It was extra special because he got to do it with his BFF's! They were all so cute in their costumes. Andrew had a whole handful of Skittles on the way home...we had to let him stay up late to run all the energy off (0;

You can see more pic's and a couple short videos here:

Andrew's Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Today Andrew went to the pumpkin patch with his TCPG friends. They had fun running around the pumpkins and checking out the goats. Andrew was more interested in moving the pumpkins around rather then actually picking one out, but we finally found one just the right size for him. We drove all the way out to Joan's Farm in Livermore, because Ardenwood did not have their pumpkin patch this year )0; Hopefully there will be one closer to home next year. I can't wait till he can help carve pumpkin's, this year we'll just be decorating with stickers. Check out the pic's by clicking this link: 10-2008 Pumpkin Patch

Andrew Goes to Disney on Ice

One of Andrew's BFF's was kind enough to share her tickets that her grandma won to Disney On Ice. This was Andrew's first Disney "event". He absolutely loved it! He had so much fun pointing out the characters and watching the show. He loved seeing Mickey the most. Last night he told daddy all about it.

Our 1st Pic of Baby #3

Today we had our 1st ultrasound of baby #3. Everything looks great! We're so excited!

Andrew's 1st A's Game

Last night Andrew went to his 1st Baseball game! He went with his friends Ella & Callie! They had so much fun clapping and watching Stomper dance! I think Andrew's favorite part was when Daddy bought him some cotton candy. He made it through the whole game without falling asleep. The A's won the game too!!!!

Another Lil' DeFord On The Way...

It's a yes...we're having another baby (0; Due April 2, 2009. Wish us luck!

Please keep us in you prayers as this will be another high risk pregnancy.

Romy & Michelle had Babies!!!

So we THOUGHT we had two girl hamsters...at least that is what the pet store told us! They had six lil' babies last night. So if anyone wants a hamster, just let us know!

TCPG goes to the San Jose Children's Discovery Museum

Yesterday, Andrew got to go to the San Jose Children's Discovery Museum with his friends. He had a great time running around touch everything! His favorite part was playing in the water. Unfortunately, Ella fell down and bumped her head and Julia hurt her hand, so next time we know to bring water shoes so no one falls down. We are definitely going to go again!

Summer, Summer, Summertime

Andrew got some summer toys today! Mommy took him to Toys-R-Us because he was good during his haircut. So we went and did some damage. He got a bubble lawn mower and a Mickey Mouse patio set. So now he is chillin' in summer style lol.

TCPG Fiesta Feast

Okay, I had to share this because it was so funny! Today our parent group had a "fiesta feast" at our house. So I bought all the babies little mustaches...the pictures were so funny!

A New Addition to the Family

Well, she is finally here...our baby neice was born yesterday. Naleyah Aviana Vigil, 6lbs.1oz., 19 inchs, at 8:40am. She is so tiny and cute! I love her already! Ejen & Angelina are so happy! I'll post some pic's up when I get them!

Mommy Got a new Tattoo

So this pic isn't so good because we took it with the cell phone, but you get the idea (0; I finally went and got my memorial tattoo done for Faith. I love it! Since Shanna was in town I made her go with me. We've had a great week spending time with my sis. Andrew loves playing with his auntie (0;

Andrew Goes to the Bay Area Children's Museum

.
Today we took Andrew to the Bay Area Children's Museum. It was a beautiful day today! So that means that traffic was terrible getting there, but at least we got to look at the pretty views of the city. Once we got there Andrew had fun playing the wooden xylophone, splashing in the little river, and his favorite playing with the trains. He had a great time!

We Miss You Faith!

Wow, it's been two years already! We miss Faith everyday and wish she was here to play with her little brother. We know she is watching down on our family until we can be together again. Thank you everyone for all your prayers and support over these two years. We can not express how much it means to us. Please remember our little girl today and never take life for granted...hug your family a little longer and cherish every moment.

Missing you baby girl!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today was daddy's 29th birthday! We spent the day at church and we went out to lunch to celebrate. Daddy played his karaoke with grandma Diane. One more year till we get to celebrate the big 30 for daddy (0;

Andrew Goes To The Zoo

Andrew took a trip to the Happy Hollow Zoo in San Jose on Friday with his TCPG buddies. He liked looking at the animals that moved like the lemurs and birds...but not so much the non-moving animals like the turtle. He was very scared on the little train they had, so I'm going to have to take him on more rides to get him ready for Disneyland (hint hint daddy). He is was so tired from all the fun he had he fell fast asleep on the way home.

Mommy's Got A New Job!

That's right! Mommy took a new job. Why? Because they are going to let me work from home full time! Isn't that awesome! I can't wait to start. I love staying home with my little man!

What's Happening with the DeFord's

I'm steeling this idea from Emma (0; This is a great way to journal our family happenings all in one place. So sign up and keep updated with what's going on in our lives.

Right now we are busy just trying to keep up with Andrew. He is 17 months and running around like crazy. He talks a lot, but nothing that makes sense except for "mama", "dada", "Ella", and "all done". His favorite foods are bananas, apples, and french fries (yeah he is definitely my kid). Mommy is sad because she just had to start putting him in 24 months clothes already. He is just growing too fast!
