Baby Easten has arrived!!!

Easten Taras Turko is here!!! He was born on March 9th at 8:48 p.m. weighing 8 lbs. 14 oz. 22.25 in. long!!! I have seen him on the web cam and he is beautiful!!! The first time i saw Easten, his little profile reminded me so much of my younger sister brittany who we lost almost six years ago in a tragic car accident. I couldn't believe it, my mom told me the same thing. I want to get a picture of when brittany was a baby and get Easten's picture and post it!! It's amazing how the lord works in mysterious ways!! I know that both Brady and Easten were kissed by angel before they came to this earth.. We are so blessed to have an angel watching over us at all times!!!

I am so happy for my Sister, Taras and Brady!! When i call and talk to my sister, i can hear brady talking and cooing at baby easten, it's so darn cute!!! When brady see's his baby brother, he makes like this wimpering sound until he gives him a kiss. It just melts my heart!! I think it's his own way of communicating to his baby brother!!! I'm so glad that everything went well and he is here safe!! We love you Easten (and Brady) welcome, welcome!! Your auntie loves you very much and i haven't even met you yet!!! I can't imagine how i'll feel once i see you for the first time.

I don't have any pictures yet, but once i get them i will post them!! I am trying to be "patient" waiting to get pics!! i know, i know sister you've been busy!!

Waiting patiently for baby #2

I love my little nephews so much!!! Good luck Sister!! I know you will do great!!! I am a big worrier!! You know me, i can't wait til you have him and everything is fine with you and the baby. I love you sister and i am always thinking about you. It sucks so bad that i can't just get in the car and drive over somewhere close to see you.

UFC

Ryan had some friends over for the "UFC" fight. I had asked him what he was having for food, and he told me that this was his deal and to not worry about it!! So, i had to let it go (which is hard for me since it was at our house, wanting to make sure there was plenty of food, etc) but I just let him do his thing and he did a great job!! He ordered some appetizers from Chili's and I was very impressed!! Anyway, they had a great night watching the big fight!!!

Viva Las Vegas!!

We went to Vegas in january for ryan's brother's 40th birthday!

I know what your all thinking, ryan is 12 years younger than his oldest brother and 10 years younger from his other brother!! His parents weren't planning on having any more kids and 10 years later here comes Ryan!!

I am glad ryan was a mistake, for my sake!!! We had a ball in Vegas!! Who doesn't when they go to viva las vegas, right?!!! His girlfriend Stephani surprised him with alot of friends and family that came into town for the big 40th!! We hung out all weekend, shopping, eating at in-n-out burger which was fabulous!! Eating at some great restaurants and more!! It was so fun to be there with family and friends!! Great job Steph!! It was such a fun weekend!!

BIG "30"

So, I know this post is way past due, but I've wanted to post some of these pics but just haven't yet, so better late than never.

My hubby turned "30" in September 2008 (I know, i'm late) I surprised him with a surprise birthday party at our house!! It was so much fun!! I found numbers to old hockey buddies, i even surprised ryan and found his buddy that he had lost contact with who lives back in Maine that he played hockey with!! It was great talking and meeting up with old friends!! His brother and his girlfriend was also able to come up from Vegas, thanks guys it meant alot to us!! So, my husband is so hard to surprise so i completely hid everything and acted like nothing was going on. There is something that i will never forget, ryan went out to get the mail one day and some of the invitations had come back due to lack of enough stamps (don't ask) it was a joke, anyway the post office had stacked them all together and wrapped an elastic around them, ryan didn't even look through them, so he came in the house and handed them to me and i could of died, i quickly played it off and said are you kidding me, they got returned, they were for my clients??! he didn't say anything and i was so glad!
So i set up this whole thing to have two of his hockey buddies call him and ask him if he wanted to go play golf in the morning and then two of them were going to ref a hockey camp, so it was perfect!! So the day came and the guys came to get ryan and i acted like i was going to work and when they left i got everything put together!! I rented a big blow up waterslide for all of the kids, since all of our friends have kids. We put it over on Lance and Heather's lawn (thanks guys) and when they brought ryan home he saw all the cars and thought, "Oh, i guess lance and heather must be having a party cause he could see the waterslide before they turned onto our street, so he was totally surprised!! I was quite proud of myself because i can never surprise the kid!! To make a long story short, we all had a great time and he was surprised. I love you baby!!!
