Just Land...

So let me start off this post by saying how thankful that both Bobby and I have jobs during this rough economic times. We have so much to be thankful for!

Well about 3 weeks ago, Bobby got news that he would be transferred from the Corona store that he worked at to the Chino Hills store. Keep in mind that the Corona store was 4 miles from our house and the Chino store was 20 miles. It was pretty frustrating at first because they didn't really give Bobby a choice and not that much notice either. When he arrived at the Chino Hill store, they didn't have a lot hours to give Bobby so they decided that Bobby would be working at the warehouse in Bernadino too. Bobby was fine with that because it was a little change of pace. Well then we find out over the weekend that Bobby would be transferred back to the Corona store again. But before he could even report there, he was transferred back to the warehouse. As of right now, I am not really sure where Bobby is working but I know he is (I think he is at the Corona store today!).

All in all it has been a rough couple of weeks - just not really knowing where Bobby is going to be the next week. I am so thankful for my husband and all that he does for his family. He has been so flexible during these crazy transitions and I really feel that he is impressing those that are over him and seeing that Bobby is there to support the company. So pray for Bobby and our family because every new transfer means trying to figure out child care and my schedule as well. It's a crazy time but we are so thankful that we are both employed!

Emma's Baby Dedication

This past Saturday, we had Emma dedicated at our church. This was a time that we as parents demonstrated that we were going to raise our child to know the Lord and to pray for her sweet little life. We were so blessed by all of the family and friends that came to support us - it meant so much to us. The ceremony consisted of a little sermon, a beautiful song (that seriously made me tear up) and the dedication of 7 babies. Below are some pictures of our little girls dedication.

Surrounded by those that love us!

Praying for our family

One cute girl!

The whole family!

Us with The Warrens - our dedicating couple. During the ceremony, we handed Emma over to Susan and Kerry, which represented us giving Emma back to God. The Warren's have such a big influence in our lives and we were so thankful that they were able to be Emma's dedicating couple!

Cousins! Oh the fun we'll have when Emma is older!

3 Months Old!

Today our beautiful little girl turned 3 months old. It is hard to believe that 3 months have flown by. It is amazing to look back at Emma's newborn pictures and see how little she was. She still is little but she has grown so much in the past 3 months. When we went to the doctor 2 weeks ago, she was weighing in at 12 lbs and was 24 inches long. She was in the 75th percentile for both weight and head circumfirence. But she was off the charts in length!

Emma's personality is definitely developing as well. She really is a mellow baby but when she is mad, man will she let you know it. She is so alert and loves just looking at people and talking to you. We just love making her smile - it really does make all of your troubles melt away. Emma also loves when you sing to her - anything and everything.

When Emma was born it really helped me to understand Christ's love for us - but even now as she continues to get older, I am understanding the depth of Christ's love for us even more. We just love our little girl to pieces and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for her little life. Enjoy some pictures that we took of her today.

Here are a few cute pictures of Emma from Halloween night. We enjoyed a fun night at the in-laws and their Halloween Party. Everyone was supposed to come dressed as a dead celebrity - so we Lucille Ball, Anna Nicole Smith, Heath Ledger, and the list goes on. Emma just went as her cute little self :)

Where do you use your debit card?

So Bobby and I just recently went through some not so fun adult experiences. This past Monday morning, I was checking our bank account because I had to pay all of our bills this week. I noticed that our balance was low and thought maybe the church forgot to pay me. As I looked at the transaction details, the 1st three transactions that pop up are ATM withdrawals totaling almost $1500! Withdrawals we definitely did not make.

To make a long story short - somehow Bobby's old debit card was compromised, meaning that they somehow duplicated his card (which he had shredded a couple of weeks back) and got his pin too. So when we filed our 1st claim with the bank - they denied it because whoever used had Bobby's debit card had his pin number and it worked the 1st time. I had to go down to the police station and file a report and then we had to file a 2nd claim because the fraud agent said that it was suspicious activity on our account because we don't take out that kind of money at an ATM.

Luckily, the bank accepted our 2nd claim and we were reimbursed the money. But let me ask you, how many times do you just give your debit card to someone and they walk away with it (at a restaurant) or they turn around and swipe your card. Be extremely cautious where you use your card. This was not fun to go through. And we are so thankful for Bobby's parents who were able to front us the money so that we could pay our mortgage and not overdraft our bank account.

Being an adult is no fun sometimes but it is life and I know that both Bobby and I have learned a HUGE lesson from this! So please learn this lesson from us and be extremey careful where you use your debit cards!

Trunk n' Treat 2009

Well Trunk n' Treat went off without a hitch last night! Thousands of people flocked to The Grove for candy, bounce houses, and a whole lot of fun! We are completely exhausted today but here are some pictures for you to enjoy of the night.

Our Tootsie Roll!

Having some cuddles with Grandma Hank before Trunk n' Treat started.

Where Emma hung out all night - asleep in my wrap (have I said lately how much I love this thing!). Little does Emma know, she helped find lost children, check on the candy stash, and help out the Trunk n' Treat vendors.

Andy and his cool, glow-in-the dark booger!

Such a cute little penguin enjoying her lollipop

Grandma Kim came down to visit and play!
