Happy Birthday Cousin Maddie!

This weekend we celebrated Cousin Maddie's 4th birthday! It was a nice party and the all of the kids seemed like they had a lot of fun. Our first week back to our normal routine was busy as expected. The biggest news is that I've been updating our family Youtube channel and have started a new segment called "In the car with" where I setup my phone and record the kids in their everyday routines.

They want to keep their trees up again this year so I decorated them for Valentine's day again this year. :) I'm going to keep this post short tonight but I wanted to at least get something posted. :) Have a great week!

Happy Holidays!

Well, I've fallen pretty far behind on the blog but one of my New Year's resolutions is to get back to updating it more often. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The last 6 weeks have been pretty busy around here. I'll try to briefly sum up everything. To start, I was in a car accident in mid November. It wasn't too serious and no one was hurt. Unfortunately, I am STILL waiting to get my car back. My wheels are out of production so I had to get different ones. They are waiting for the wheels and once that's done, I should have my car back. At this point, I'm not sure I want it back though. For the last several years, I've suffered from back and hip pain which I always equated to having a job where I sit all the time. 2 weeks after getting my rental car (Nissan Altima) I started to notice that I wasn't in pain as often. Over 6 weeks later, I haven't had any pain in my hip and my lower back doesn't hurt like it used to. I think the seats in my 300 were the cause of all of my problems! I was never able to comfortably drive for long distances but I never really put the 2 together. As strange as it may sound, having the Altima has been an enjoyable experience. Add on over twice the MPG's that my car gets and I'm really thinking about selling my car and buying an Altima. We'll see how things work out in 2014.. To close out November we stayed home for Thanksgiving and had a nice day at my Sister's house with family.

In December we celebrated Emma's 3rd birthday which was a lot of fun. We took her to Pump It Up, a place that has a lot of bouncers and I think everyone had a lot of fun. Emma seemed to enjoy herself once she got used to being the center of attention. Christmas was good for us as well. The girls were super excited and we got lots of videos and pictures. I've had the 2 holiday weeks off work and it's been great spending time with the girls. Last week they were sick so we spent a lot of time at the Doctors office this vacation but they are doing a lot better now.

We've also started a youtube channel to vlog the kids and our family! Check it out here and subscribe to my channel so you can be notified when there are updates! http://www.youtube.com/davidvargas38

I hope everyone has a great 2014!
