Kell & Nick....

So...I know I have been the WORST blogger lately but it is just so hard to find the time! It is wedding season and I am busier then ever...! While wondering about what to blog about and what it is I thought you all should know about this I came across this poem!
ENJOY!

I do not have a face to see
or put inside a frame
I do not have soft cheeks to kiss
I don't yet have a name.
You can't yet hold my tiny hands
Nor whisper in my ear.
It's still too soon to sing a song,
Or cuddle me so near.
But all will change come February 5th, 2010
That's when they say I'm due.
I'm your new baby.
I can't wait til I meet you.
All I ask between now and then
Is your patience while I grow.
I promise I'll be worth the wait.
Because of all the love we'll know.
So what I have to give you now,
Is a wish to you from me.
I cannot wait to be a part
Of this wonderful family.


YES THAT IS RIGHT!! NICK AND I ARE EXPECTING!!!!!! I am a little over 8 weeks pregnant and we got to see little "cutie" this past week and he/she heartbeat was 156beats per minute and the doctor said we are doing fabulous!!!! Nick and I cannot be more thrilled!!! The Dolata Family is growing! I feel fabulous and haven't had an ounce of morning sickness so I think I am almost out of the woods for that! Other than being really tired so far this is a piece of cake! I am so excited to share our news with everyone!!!

I hope you all are doing well and I will post a photo of the baby soon! I just have to get it on my computer from the phone!!!

Have a great weekend!

Kell, Nick and Cutie~~~

Truffles Goes to the Vet~

So Truffles has been acting a little strange for the last few months so Nick and I decided it was time for her to go see the Vet....I have had Truffles for a long time 10 years and I wanted to make sure she is a happy, healthy kitty! I am sure some of this has to do with the fact that we have LouLee now and she isn't the only cat in the house but none the less it is off to Dr. Forsythe we go...
As you can see by the photo she doesn't LOVE riding in the car!!
However....she loved exploring the Dr's office! She really liked her doctor!!!
She especially loved the little cut out in the cat bed and she jumped into the garbage can and sat there and stared at us! It was pretty hilarious! She did a great job! She needs her teeth cleaned and had to have her shots but other than that she is doing A-Ok...she is back to her spunky self and loves to hisss at LouLee!
Ok...I know I need to get a life! I am blogging about my cats! HA HA I am sure things will get more exciting in the coming post I HOPE!

Have a great day!

Cassidy's 2nd Birthday-Reno, Nevada

Happy Birthday Cassi~
I think she likes her cupcake!!
Cassidy laughing at the dolphin squirting water at Dom! The pool I gave Cassi for her birthday!
Dom & Cassi~

I went up to Reno for Cassi's 2nd birthday! It was so much fun! Cassidy turned 2 years old and Dominic and Cassi are only a few weeks apart! They are so cute together too! You would think they were brother and sister!
After the party we had another fabulous Dinner at Gary's house!! Nick wasn't able to come as he started his new job and couldn't take the day off so I drove up for the day and dinner and came back! It was so nice to be with my family again!!!

Happy Birthday Cassidy! XOXO

Dominic's 2nd Birthday-Reno, Nevada

In April Nick and I went up to Reno for Dominic's 2nd Birthday! Dominic is my cousin Kristin and Bo's son! We had such a great time celebrating his 2nd birthday and eating delicious cupcakes!!!
After Dom's birthday party we went over to Little Gary's for Dinner. It was a great weekend with our family! Happy 2nd Birthday Dom!!! We love you!!!!

Mom & Kells~ Mom I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! I love you so very much and can't wait to be a mom some day soon too!! XOXOX

I'm Just Not That Into You Lately.......

Ok...so I am just not that into blogging lately? I don't know why? I think I am overwhelmed with all this "SOCIAL MEDIA" lately...there is just too much of it and we have so gotten away from "REAL" contact with people such as meeting for coffee to catch up ...a happy hour or maybe just a nice walk to talk? With all this technology it seems we are getting away from that because we can stay "connected" via facebook, twitter, blogs etc......it is all so weird in some ways! Granted I love blogging and facebooking but it is time consuming and again it puts me back in front of a computer yet again as if I don't have enough computer time every day.

So lately the last thing I really want to do is BLOG....however...here is a little update on us.....I promise to try to blog at least once a week....

• Nick got a new job click here to see where he is working. He is the General Manager! I am so proud of him!!!
• I quit my job here and my last day is June 6th. I am sad but it is time for me to move on and really pursue my dream click here to see what that is.
• I got tickets to the season finale of this show but didn't get to go for family reasons. I was disappointed but hopefully will be able to go again.
• Nick and I did a hard hat tour a few weeks ago of this new resort in Lake Tahoe. We made reservations for the opening night!!!
• We have been here twice in the last month to celebrate Dominic and Cassidy's 2nd Birthday's
• We took mom to this restaurant for her Mother's Day Celebration
• I really can't stand this American Idol Contestant

Ok...so I think that is what has been up with us for the last month or so! I know not too exciting but it is all I have....

So do any of you feel the same about blogging? Are you just not that into it anymore?

Tell me what you think if "you" are still out there and reading my blog!

Until Next Time.....K~

Where has the time gone?

Not sure if anyone is still out there or if anyone still reads my blog ? I have been such a bad blogger but I haven't had too much to write about.

Here is a little re-cap of what has been going on over the last couple weeks or so....

About 2 weeks ago my dad had open heart surgery. Yes...this all came as a huge shock to all of us as he went in for ankle surgery and then a few days later was in the emergency with chest pains and shortness of breath...after many test and every day something new was developing we found out that dad's lower Mitro Valve in his heart was torn and needed to be repaired. So he was transferred to Mercy Hospital in Sacramento where he would wait to have his surgery! Karyn and Addison flew out too, to be with all of us so it was so great to have her and Addison here and Papa (dad) loved seeing them too! We missed the rest of her family but Anson stayed with the girls so Ashley could stay in school! Dad's heart surgery went amazingly well! They had to do a little more than they thought but he had an amazing Doctor and made it through with flying colors!

Dad is now staying with Nick and I. He is resting, excercising and going on Sonoma town tours in his wheelchair with Nick every morning. Yes, you heard it correctly ....Nick walks with Dad in the mornings and then I found out he puts him in the wheelchair and they go for about a 3 mile ride around Sonoma! Dad is just loving it! We are loving him being here too! I still can't believe that tomorrow will be 2 weeks since his surgery and he is doing so great.

We also bought a new car about a week ago! We bought a Nissan Murano and I am just loving it!!! It is so fun to drive and isn't too big. It is just the perfect size! I love it! I highly recommend one if you are in the market for a "crossover" as that is what they are called now! :) :)

Other than that...nothing else is really new. Nick and I are doing really good! Nick's job is going fabulous and he loves being in the city...(not the commute so much) but loves the energy of San Francisco and the restaurant! Jason Preistly had dinner there a few weeks ago! I was a die hard 90210 fan so anytime I hear of a cast member from 90210 I get so excited!!!

My job is going good! Wedding season is right around the corner! It is hard to believe we have been in Sonoma for 3 years!!! Where does the time go? We have truly grown to love the wine country and all that it has to offer! We are especially loving this amazing spring weather, the green hills and the mustard through out all the vineyards! It is such a beautiful place!!!

Well...that is all! Hopefully one of these days we will do something with pictures and i will have something to post with pictures! :) :)

I hope you all are doing great and if you are still out there leave me a comment so I know someone still reads my blog!
What have you been up to?
