Siabhra's Birthday!

So, mother nature had her own plans today and decided that it would rain on Siabhra's birthday .... so the Party headed over to my place instead. Who needs a park anyway? It was a blast ...... the whole herd of us which included : Dustin, Veronica, Dylan, Devin, his girlfriend Amber, Mom, River, Moonlily, Alaina, Chris and of course the birthday girl Siabhra ... but the party wasn't complete without Yeager (Devin's puppy) Which made my little apartment JAM PACKED .......

Alaina and Dylan had a blast together! They cracked everyone up. There is Dylan with his super silly face! Alaina was being a ham for the camera, what a smile! Moon Lily had bought a lot of balloons and the kids had fun playing with them. Dylan untied the balloon, which promptly deflated. He exclaimed, "I let the air out! That's all!" He is so cute!

Siabhra had so much fun blowing bubbles outside today! All three cousins ran up and down the sidewalk playing with the bubbles and having a blast! What a happy little 2 year old! They grow up so fast!

Hello, I guess?

As I sit here in my living room I am trying to think of something profound to write, after all this is my first "blog" .... so there is pressure! Maybe I should just tell (insert your name here) about myself.

Hello, my name is Danielle. I am a Gemini (if you are into that ..... I can take it or leave it) May 21, 1987 was when I entered the world. My mom is named Wendy and my "dad" is named Gary. My mom and Gary had 5 children together while they were married. Gary had two children with a former wife. Up until yesterday I knew nothing about them other than their names: Melanie and Matthew. I always thought it would be cool to get to know them but had no idea where to start to find them. Yesterday Matthew (Matt) called my sister and then Dustin and River. Dorothy called me to tell me about it. She told me his wife and himself have a blog and since she doesn't have internet access at home she gave it to me so I could check it out. So I guess this blog is a way for me to reach out and say "Hi, since you are willing to put yourself out there so am I ....."

I am the second youngest of my siblings, we are all very close in age. Starting with Dustin (almost 26), River (almost 25), Dorothy (23) Me (almost 22) and Devin who is 19. Currently Dustin, River, Devin and I live in Yreka. Dorothy lives in Salt Lake City, Ut. I am moving to South San Fransico in May which is so awesome!

Well, life is calling until next time .......
