Our Girls

I don't mean to brag but we have some damn cute kids!! Kennedee is 3 weeks old in these pictures.

Allow me to introduce...

Kennedee Lynn Alvarado!!!

The newest edition to our family was born on Sept 3rd at 5:12pm. She weighed 6lb 13oz & was 20 inches long. I was, and still am, extremely proud of my wife for how well she did. I'm also more thankful than I can possibly express for Kennedee, she is truly a blessing in our lives.

I have a new found level of respect & admiration for my wife, I'll be honest... I lost it when I heard my daughter's first cry. She is a beautiful child... Thank goodness she has Becky's looks ;o)

When we let Kaidence into the room she was so excited. She is a fantastic big sister, she helps out with everything that we ask (except diapers. She says "that's gross dad"). She does really great with holding her & she's very proud of her little sister.

Kennedee doesn't really cry, she's been just perfect. Our friends & family have also been a big help while Becky recovers & I try to nap ;o)

1st Annual Fathers Day Fishing Trip

My wife was nice enough to let me go on a Deep Sea fishing trip with my brother, brother-in-law & a few friends last weekend! The "Mancation" as it became known as was a blast! Becky was getting REALLY tired of me looking at the fishing reports every day & arguing with my friend Shane over which boat to take, tackle to use, etc... We left Queen Creek at around 7pm on Thursday, picked up Shane from a Truck Stop in the West Valley & we were on our way! We made record time. When you don't drive with kids or wives, there are apparently no bathroom breaks. The only stop that we made on the way was at Walmart so we could get our licenses. We arrived at our hotel at around 1:30-2:00am, after wading past a sea of beer cans & chinese food (My brother & his buddy got there at 7) we went to sleep. Our alarm went off 2 hours later & we were off to the Marina! The boat had roughly 50 fisherman & about 20 bunks to sleep in during the 2-3 hour ride to where we were fishing. I was good... until my brother started yacking off of the side of the boat. I Quickly grabbed a bunk & got mast my queezy stomache. The fishing was a little slow, but we all ended up catching something. The catch consisted of Perch, Bonito, Mackeral, Sheepshead & Whitefish. When we got back, I fried up some fish tacos. The next day, we went to check out Balboa Pier at Seal Beach. a few milkshakes later & we were on the road again! On our way home, we stopped to fish at the Colorado river until dark. Only one Blue gill there... Who caught it you ask? Me baby. Me. Next year we hope to do it again, but this time with more people. It was a blast!

A few of our future tacos.

Just before sunrise on a fishing charter... Nothing better.

My broter & I off of Catalina Island

4am. enough said.

Crazy rantings... & a few raves

Just thought I'd let ya into my dome piece, here's what's going thru my mind in no particular order...

1. If you're a greeter at Walmart, F'ing say hi. Don't just slump over your podium of minimum wage. Can anyone say "easiest job ever". Two letters, that's all I'm asking for.

2. So, after shaving a dreadlock-mohawk into Sprocket... Doesn't he kinda look like that weird dog-dragon thing from the Never Ending Story?

3. People who walk down the middle of the parking lot aisle when there are cars behind them piss me off. Even more when they're not holding their kids hands.
*Note to self: Install Brush Gaurd on front bumper.

4. Is there a better meal than Pizza Rolls & Chocolate Milk? I submit that there is not.

5. I love my wife for letting me be the father of our children.

6. T-minus 12 days until I'll be in the middle of the ocean!

The Vice President

How did I get to 28 years old without knowing where the Vice President lives? Learned it today!

BTW, Congratulations to Barak Obama for gaining enough delegates to be the Democratic Nominee. He's going to make a fantastic president.

Macayo's for lunch

Esurance bought lunch for the whole office again today!

Mmmmmm... I LOVE Macayo's mini chimis!!!

Only one problem with the whole office eating Mexican Food. All of the guys share one bathroom.

A guy in there let one rip & it sounded EXACTLY like when Donald Duck gets mad & yells at Huey, Dewey & Louie. It was hilarious. Guess you had to be there, but it's probably better that you weren't.

We are on a roll...

So it has now been just over 6 months that Andy and I have been married!!! I think we are off to a pretty good start. There are so many things that have happened that make me believe that the next 6 years will be a piece of cake! I dont get the chance very often to talk to my friends or family so I decided I would let you all know why my husband is so wonderful. 1 reason for each month we have been married. ( I have to limit it to 6 or I would never stop typing!)

1) He is the best dad I have ever seen. He is building Kaidence a play house to put in her playroom. I figured that it would be a cute little box that she could play house in. I know no idea he would make it so the whole neighborhood could fit in it!

2) He always makes me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world. Even though I feel like he married me and I let myself go! ( I promise honey once the baby stops making me sick I'll take showers EVERY DAY!!)

3) Before Andy I was affraid of change. In the past couple of years I have bought a new car, a new house, gotten married, we are having another baby, and I now have a new job after 8 years at my old one. I would have never had the courage to do any of this without him. I used to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders and now I feel like no matter what happens or where life takes me I will be ok as long as I have him by my side.

4) Our house can be completely dirty and he will clean the garage instead. In all fairness to my husband he only does this when I am acting crazy and I can't even stand to be around me! He never tells me my hormones are out of whack, or that the family crazy is showing through. Instead he just finds something productive to do that is away from the danger zone!

5) He understands and embraces my crazy. Like when I have a conversation with him in my head and expect him to answer me as if he were in my head too.

6) He is wonderful because of the person that he is. He wears shoes he has had since high school, he is affraid to talk about poop, he knows every line in anchor man, he has the ugliest dog ever but I am pretty sure he doesn't know it, he loves my friends and family, he has made home depot like Disneyland for Kaidence, he can't just say westside...it's Wesssstsiiiiide, he has a strange attachment to the westside, he is a bargain mom, he is the worst singer but he will not stop singing, and most of all he loves me for me and doesn't try to change me.

I am incredibly happy and grateful that I get to be married to Andy. He is truly a blessing in all of our lives.

I love you jerk face
