*: 2007

January
All Ethan, all the time ever since he was born! He got to hang with the grandparents this month for a week while Erik and I headed to Maui for our 4 year wedding anniversary.

4 Year Wedding Anniversary

We had a few issues during our stay at the Royal Lahaina in June so I wrote a letter to management and they offered to cover a week for free!

Ethan loves closets and bunkbeds in the model homes we visit.

April

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny comes to every house Ethan visits! Our house, the Kooks, Grama Jean and Papa's...

May

I attended a Shaw Flooring Conference for work. We stayed 2 nights in downtown San Diego, all meals provided and an evening at the House of Blues. Not too shabby :)

We're pregnant! I had an early miscarriage a few months back but I think this ones a keeper, I'm SO sick!

Caedmon and Ethan helped Auntie L and Uncle P move out of their condo, Leah is due in October!

Happy 30th to Erik!

Erik's 1st surprise party was Domino's pizza at the condo before heading to the Laugh Factory on Sunset Blvd via limo with Patrick, Leah, Jeremy, Jessica, Jen and Nick.

Erik's second surprise party was supposed to be a small family party that I turned into a family and friends shin-dig complete with a team scavenger hunt. Teams drove all over the valley visiting places Erik worked, played hockey, lived etc. collecting clues and items. Erik's team (Patrick, Kurt, Jare) won on a technicality, I printed the wrong address for one of his work locations :(

All partied out!

September

It's a GIRL!

September 1st Erik and I invited the grandparents to our 3D ultrasound in Glendale. The doctor at Kaiser thought it was a girl but wasn't sure... It's confirmed, it's a GIRL! She moves a lot in general but moved all over during the ultrasound. We had lunch at Tony Roma's after the appointment. Ethan wasn't his usual cooperative self and had to be taken outside for a bit in the 100+ degree heat.

Happy 3rd Birthday Ethan!

Happy 3rd Birthday to our happy, funny, sweet, cute Ethan Bajethan! Party time at Honey and Bubba's house with lots of friends and family.

Potty training! He liked playing music from his Cars birthday card :)

Gotta figure out how to put the swing set together!

Welcome Tanner!

Tanner is here! September 28th at 2:32pm, Jare and Meaghan welcomed Tanner Fulton Stotts at The Thousand Oaks Los Robles Regional Medical Center. He weighed 7lbs 7oz and was 21 inches long.

October

Another busy baby month! We visited cousin Tanner.

Torey's 31st Birthday

We had dinner at Claim Jumper with Mom, Bubba and the Leclair's

Roses from Erik 28 Weeks

Lombardi Ranch

October 20th we took our annual trip to Lombardi Ranch to see the animals and pick out pumpkins.

Welcome Lillian!

October 23rd Patrick and Leah welcomed Lillian Grace Leclair at Henry Mayo Hospital.

Happy Halloween!

We trick-0r-treated with the Leclair's and Serrano's at Honey and Bubba's house.

Not sure who wore it better?!

Is October over yet?!

November

Festival of Trees

My friend Nina and I decorated a tree for the Boys & Girls Club Festival of Trees again this year.

The show and gala was at the local Hyatt this year, very nice venue.

Jadyn's Baby Shower

November 17th Grama Honey threw my baby shower for Jadyn at Mimi's Café. So good to see so many friends and family to celebrate this little girl.

I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes this month so I'm checking my blood sure 4 times a day (down from 7). It took me a week to finish the piece of cake from the shower, one bite at a time :)

December

Another BUSY month! It was 5 years ago this month we closed escrow on our 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo and now we're getting ready to close escrow on our 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house! We're so excited for the extra space, a yard and a 2 car garage! We're going to replace the carpet and clean before moving in but we had to move out in hopes of a renter for the condo so we moved most everything into a POD and we're staying with Grama Honey and Bubba for a few weeks.

Merry Christmas!

I'm about to POP! I'm having this little girl via c-section December 27th!

She's here!

Jadyn Kiara Jegel was born December 27th at 12:39pm at Kaiser in Woodland Hills. She weighed 6lbs 14oz and was 20.5 inches long. We thought she looked just like Ethan, minus a chin since he was almost 2 pounds heavier. Her delivery was much easier or maybe I just knew what to expect so it wasn't as scary! We stayed in the hospital 2 nights before heading back to Honey and Bubba's. It was great to have my mom there since Erik went back to work and she didn't seem to mind getting up in the middle of the night or changing diapers!

Happy New Year!

We celebrated New Years with the Leclair's, Serrano's, Morshead's and Nick Mitchell at the Leclair's place. Not an easy task after having a c-section! I almost couldn't climb back into our SUV since it was parked on an incline in the driveway!
