Birthday Princess

October 28th has a special place in my heart.

It was on this day 3 years ago that I became an AUNT for the 1st time, 

as Miss Brynlee Michelle Bermudez entered the world!

October 28th, 2009. Party in the Hospital!

Bryn Bryn instantly became my best girl, and I could hardly stay away from her!

And then she turned one...

October 28th, 2010. A great 1st Birthday Bash!

Brynaboo continued to grow, becoming funnier and spunkier every day.

Before we knew it, she was two!

October 28th, 2011. Celebrating TWO as we head to the ZOO!

Another year has already passed, and my Lee Lee is now THREE!

October 28th is always a party, and it is killing me that on this special day, I'm so far away from the Birthday Girl. I am missing her terribly, but am so happy to reminisce on the last three years and this cutie girl's little life. She has been such a blessing to me, and I love her with my whole heart!

Thank goodness for Birthday Packages & Skype, making me feel not so far away.

October 28th, 2012. The Birthday Princess in all her Glory.

So Happy Birthday Miss Brynlee, Boo Boo, Bryn Bryn, Lee Lee!

Love, Heetie

the start of something new

Today is an exciting day.

It is the First Day of the season for

Seasider Basketball!

Robbie has been working out and playing with the team since we got to Hawaii, 

(did I mention he ran 2 miles in 12 minutes, did 100 pushups straight, did 80 pound weighted pullups, and has a 44 inch vertical?!... Yep, that's my husband)

but now he has official practice with the coaches, and will be making his debut for the first time since the mish. 

This isn't just an exciting thing for Robbie, I think it's about equally exciting for me! Lucky for Robb I grew up in a sporty family where Basketball= Love, and one of my favorite things to do in High School was watch him play (regardless of which sport!)

 And today is not only Robb's first day as a Seasider, but it's the first day of the first season that I get to cheer him on as his WIFE! 

Pretty exciting stuff.

Looks like i'll have to make a few more fan jerseys with MY name on the back!

 I can't wait for him to get home from practice so I can ask him all kinds of questions about it! (Probably his very favorite thing) 

We'll see if he's still got it.

(atleast i know he's got a new hairdo!)

Go Seasiders!
