And they are all gone...

Sammy and I at Christmas in these big bubbles

that float on water and you stand in them and

walk...its really hard but was fun

So all the Espe boys are gone and starting new adventures. Sammy left for Texas where he is running a ranch for some old customers of ours who moved out there and asked him to join. Alex is back at Humboldt playing the piano (which he is amazing at) and loving it, and Charlie left for the Navy. They are all gone kind of wierd but probably a lot different for my parents!! But I am so proud to have all 3 of them doing such great things with their lives!!

I can't believe how long it has been since the last time I updated the blog. Everyday I would tell myself I needed to get around to get...but I didn't. So let me go month by month with some updates!!

Sept- Football season was in full swing by this point and Servite was coming out strong. Matt had gone back to school and the girls and I got back into the swing of Daddy back at football and school.

October- Servite was still going strong and had won all their games up to this point and also beat Mater Dei for the 2nd straight year!!!! We had a fun time at the game tail gating with Grandpa in his new trailer and then we all got a suite (since the game was at Anaheim Stadium) It was a pretty fun night. I also had my best friend Amber's shower here at our house and that was a blast. For Halloween the girls were "Pirates" (don't worry there will be pictures to come)

November- Servite won League and were headed to the playoffs. I spent my first night away from the girls EVER (pretty crazy it took so long) and headed to Palm springs for Amber's bach. weekend. We spent Thanksgiving at my moms and Charlie and Matt cooked there turkey.

December- Servite won the PAC 5 for the 2nd straight year and went on to lose in the state title game. What a amazing season for them! We also had Lucy's 2nd Birthday which was Olivia themed and had it here at the house. Christmas was a blast Lucy loved Santa and Audrey not so much. The girls got way to much of course but it was so much fun to see Lucy so into this year.

Jan- Well the new year brought us by best friend Amber's wedding on New Years Eve Lucy and I were both in the wedding. Matt and I got to enjoy a night out so it was fun! The girls have been passing a cold to each other for the past couple of weeks. Sammy left for Texas about a week ago and Alex leaves to go back to school in a few days. Charlie (the baby) will be leaving for the Navy on Tuesday we are so proud of all of them but it is sad!! We had a big party for Charlie is past weekend at our house. As of now Lucy is 2 and Audrey will be 10 months on the 19th (how time flys) Audrey is a big eater unlike her sister she LOVES food but still stays tiny! Lucy is talking up a storm and talks all the time!! They enjoy each other so mush it is such a blessing!!

Bald Head Island

We just got back from spending a little over a week at Greta and Mikes place in Bald Head and it was an amazing trip!! Matt really wanted me and the girls to see what it was like and it is so hard to explain and such a great place. It was the girls first time flying and they did pretty well.We got to go with Uncle Joe, Kelly, and Grandma Betsy and we all had a blast! While the boys played golf us girls went to the beach and pool everyday and sometimes did both. We got tons of sun and I think we all could have stayed a week longer but it is the start of football season for Matt. We also got to enjoy a couple of days with Stephen, Aspen, Ryan, Sam, Kim, and EJ and we had a great time and had some fun late nights with them. Here are some pictures!!

Audreys 4 Month Check-up

Last week we took Audrey to her 4 month check up she now weights 12 pounds and is 24 inches long. She is tall and thin just like her sister. She loves to sleep on her tummy and rolls over all the time now. Audrey started rice cereal, smashed bananas and apple sauce and loves it!! Lucy loves talking to her and giving her kisses. Audrey lights up when she sees Lucy it is awesome to watch. We have been busy with Matt being back at football and we leave for Bald Head this week. It will be the girls first time flying so we are excited for the new adventure!! We also celebrated Matt's birthday with the family at Zitos Pizza. Matt's college friends came up and golfed with Matt and then we got to enjoy a night out with friends and no babies at sushi...it was a blast!

4th of July

This year for the fourth of July we had a fun filled day. We first took the girls to the OPA parade and got to hang out at some friends house while we watched all the horses and other animals go by...Lucy loved it! Then we hung out with Joe and Kelly and went to a block party in Old Towne where we go to listen to a great band....and of course we all went and watched the fireworks at Angel stadium!!

Red River

This year we went with the Espe Family to Red River, New Mexico. When we were younger we had gone a few times. It is a small town (no street lights or stop signs) in the mountains of New Mexico about 45 min out of Taos. It was a great time and beautiful! We walked a lot, took jeep tours and ate!!! Here are some pictures
