For you Daddy - peace!

He's a lot more awake now.

He's pretty good in the carseat

For You Babe

So, Danny flew home on Monday and we already miss him terribly. I saw this post on his cousins blog and thought it would be appropriate to post since he is gone. I LOVE YOU BABE.

1. What is his name? Danny to me, Daddy to the kids, and Daniel and Dan to his family
2. Who eats more? He does but it's way better for you than what I eat
3. Who said I love you first? He did and then I hung up the phone. I remember the phone conversation like it was yesterday
4. Who is taller? Taller men are a must
5. Who is smarter? He is definitely more book smart... I think I am more street smart (but not with directions)
6. Who is more sensitive? My man is pretty darn sensitive. I would say he is.
7.Who does the laundry? Me but he helps
8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Danny. Doesn't the man always sleep on that side?
9. Who pays the bills? That would definitely be me. I don't even think he knows where the money is. Keep bringing home the bacon babe :)
10. Who cooks more? He is the best cook ever!
11. What meals do you cook together? Umm.. I don't think any.
12. Who is more stubborn? Me
13. Who is the first to admit they're wrong? Him
14. Who has more siblings? Definitely him
15. Who wears the pants in the relationship? We're equal
16. What do you like to do together? Go to Vegas, watch TV, ride bikes, go the movies, hang out with the kids, get together with friends
17. Who eats more sweets? Me
18. Guilty pleasures? He loves Itunes, shoes and pants. He likes to shop.
19. How did you meet? At a soccer camp and then again through our friend Bubba
20. Who proposed? We agreed in Maryland to get married but he actually proposed with a ring in front of his house
21. His best features? His sexy bod, his smile and eyes
22. What is his greatest quality? Besides being an extremely talented soccer player, he has this amazing discipline that I wish I had. He's also the sweetest guy I know and a very fun dad.

Jude's Baptism

Our family at Jude's Baptism

He did so well... didn't fuss or make any noise.

Michelle and Aldo are Jude's sponsors. We're so happy they are in our lives.

Blake told me he was thirsty and asked if he could have some of the water. He's so funny.

Praying for Jude.

Random Pics Of My 3 Babies

Lazy mornings... my favorite!

Blake insisted we take Jude's picture with a soccer ball... the ball is as big as him.

My 2 boys. I love them!

Blake truly adores him. He is so good with him. I love that they will be close.

Say Cheese!

Celebrity Soccer Game

Danny played in the Mia Hamm/Nomar Garciaparra soccer game last weekend. We got to sit on the field and see all the celebs up close. It was so fun watching Danny play with people from the shows we watch each week. Some take it very seriously... and tried so hard. Poor Tony Hawk is not a runner/soccer player.. stick with skate boarding Mr. Hawk.

Gosh, he's cute! (Mark, Kelly Ripa's husband)

Had to take this picture for my dad. He loves Two and A Half Men

My kids have a great life. They are getting to do and meet so many people thru soccer.

Julie from one of my favorite shows - Desperate Housewives

The lead singer of Weezer. I guess he is a big soccer fan and in the locker room came up to Danny and said, How's soccer going in Denmark? He totally knew who Danny was. WOW!

Sorry I have been MIA!

Thank you to everybody for your phone calls, texts, emails, wonderful gifts, and prayers for me and Jude. I'm sorry I have been MIA. I've been enjoying my time with my kids and Danny (he leaves in a week). I'm also enjoying this amazing weather so we have been outside a lot. Sorry but the computer is the last thing on my mind... I want the sun!

Jude is doing so well and is such an easy baby (for now). He loves to sleep, eat, and poop. I guess he's doing what he's suppose to be doing. He had a rough time at the beginning with eating but now he's got the hang of it. He's already a fan of Target too! We went when he was 5 days old and he just loved it :) .

Both Paige and Blake are in a little class 2 days a week which they are really enjoying. It gives me some alone time with Jude and them a chance to socialize with other kids. I'm finally feeling like myself so we'll be back to visiting Disneyland and doing more outgoing things. We'd love to get together with you and play. We're always looking for new things to do.

Danny is up in Manhatten Beach and comes down to Orange a few nights a week. He plays on Sat. Jan. 24th at the HDC against Sweden. I'm looking forward to watching him play - it seems like forever.

Hope you enjoy the pics of our family. I really do enjoy hearing from you so please keep the emails coming!

Waiting Game

I don't think this picture shows how big I really was. I gained almost 40 pounds but it was ALL in my belly. It hurt to touch it, it hurt to bend, it hurt to give hugs to my kids, it just hurt!

An epidural is a must. Why be in pain when you don't have to? Anyways, the kids were obsessed with my pee bag and loved telling me when I was going pee. Things to entertain kids in the hospital with. Who would of thought?

Our last picture with the 4 of us. A fun, exciting, new chapter lies ahead.

My little pirate helping pass the time.

Our family is complete!

JUDE EDWARD CALIFF arrived at 2:23pm on December 31st, 2008. He came out with a nice set of lungs, even though the cord was wrapped around him twice. He was the smallest of my 3 weighing 8lbs. 2 ounces, and was 19 inches long. He had much lighter hair than P and B but definitely looked a lot like them.

Our first family picture of the 5 of us.

He holds his hands just like me.

I'm tired!

Looks like Mommy here!

Jude Myster - 1 week old

Blake helped me with the powder.

He is such a good big brother. He is in charge of the diapers. If you don't ask him to get one he gets so mad. It is very helpful but at times a bit annoying. He takes his job very seriously.

Thank god for pacifiers. He loves his.

Jude, you are so lucky to have 2 big siblings... They sure love you!

Another One Bites the Dust

She lost another one!

2 weeks old

Paige enjoys holding Jude... after I remind her that she hasn't held him. She wants him to "play".

He makes the best faces. I just love him!

He's starting to smile in his sleep. So cute!

This was Blake's shirt and pants. I can picture him wearing them still. I don't have any summer clothes for him. He's so tiny still.

He has to have his hands near his face when he sleeps.

Family Beach Day

Silly of me to think that my kids wouldn't go in the water. Thanks Daddy for the clothes!

He slept through his first trip to the beach.

I love this picture!

Danny is staying in Manhatten Beach with the US Team so we spent the day at the beach. This January weather is crazy but I'm not complaining one bit.

It was such low tide.... they love the beach!
