I have to write this down before I forget:

Naya and Belize at the zoo, it makes my heart sad to think that they will live in different states.
Belize VOLUNTEERED for this photo op and got Naya to join her, what cuties!
Me and my Dad celebrating our B-Days.  Dad - if you weren't my dad, i'd worry.  I love you, aren't you excited to use the senior menu at Denny's?!?!?!  Richelle- that cake looks amazing, keep up the good work.
Rio + Rib = first step to becoming a man.
Rio + A1 sauce = maybe I don't want to be a man quite yet!
A sunny afternoon at Gas Works park (who named this park and what's that smell?  Oh, it's the 20 homeless people who live there.)

Belize called these her "scary feet".  She is kindof obsessed with scary things right now and likes to talk about them a lot.
Abuela trying to keep Belize occupied while caulking the bathtub - can I buy some of her patience?
Nana is already going thru with grandkid withdrawls but on the flip side, we've had babysitters A PLENTY!  :)
Recently Belize has taken to watching the ballet (the real one), she wants to watch "The Rose Adagio" over and over again.
My attempt at being a super creative mom while packing.  Making dresses out of wrapping paper lasted all of 2 minutes.
I think I might know where this kid gets his good looks.

Even though this year I feel that my mind is a million places, I am so grateful to my Savior, Jesus Christ who is keeping me grounded.  He is my rock and my foundation and I couldn't make it without Him.  I am so thankful for the sacrafice that He made so that my family and I could return to our eternal home together.

Belizism:  Nana: "Belize, would you like a little bit of JELLO?"

  Belize: "No, I want TOO much!"
The Gregg sisters displaying one of their many talents - consuming lots of chocolate!
I totally caved when it came to Belize's Easter dress, it couldn've have gotten much frillier!
Grandma Gregg is staying with my folks while she's having chemo and radiation (she already endured a major surgery) for Glioblastoma Multiforme.  Yucky cancer aside- I LOVE having her here, it's so nice to be able to drive for 30 minutes and see her smiling face.  Uncle Walt came up from Long Beach for Easter dinner and of course his two amazing dogs, Turbo and Jewel who everyone loves- except maybe my mom (no offense guys, she doesn't like any dog).
Rio is getting to be such a little man.  He is 6 months old and sitting all by himself.  He's more tolerant of tummy time but still doesn't like it much.  He is fascinated with Belize and if she's not around he turns very needy all of the sudden.  He is still very good natured and smiles at everyone.  AND he just cut his first tooth!

Oh where, oh where did my little March go?  Here are the highlights.  Belize and I went to the "Sypiny" symphony which I still hear about daily so it must have been a big hit.  It's thru the Seattle symphony at Benaroya hall and called Tiny Tots symphony.  If you have kids, you MUST go, it was pretty much the coolest thing we've done ever together.  We rode a bus, had gelato, watched a quintet.  Belize is now obsessed with the tuba.  We are going again as soon as they have another one, I wished I would have had a video camera, her mouth was open in awe the whole time.  


Dooms day, I mean Match day came and went and turned us upside down and inside out.
Kyle, it has begun!!!!  I DID NOT PROMPT THIS PICTURE, I just happened upon it!
Rio loves his Abuela!!  He gets all his undivided attention time from her.
Sorry, Abuelo, whatever ever you were saying might have been a little long winded for Belize.  Good thing you are an expert putterer! :)
Just my kids  .   .   . watching the laundry, why can't everyday be like this one?
Jumping on the tramp with cousin, Ethan.  I wished we lived closer to you guys, Lezlie!  Wait, we will, but you know what I mean, down the block kindof closer.
Chillin' in my pimp suit, yeah!  I don't know why but that song pops in my head everytime I see this pic.    Fast forward, whole family sick (and I mean mondo sick!) , 1st ER visit (Rio), double ear infections for both the kiddos, quit my job, packing up all my worldly possessions and weekend trip to LA to find an acceptable place to live (still sick, trip worst EVER) but we might have a found a 3 bedroom rental a mile away from the beach.
