Goodnight toes

I went to check in on Noah tonight, and this is how I found his foot. It was so cute. I love these little moments.

Im thankful for...

For family night we put together a "gratitude tree", and each leaf represents something we are grateful for. It was really fun, and the girls loved thinking of fun things that they are blessed with.

I love my children, husband, family and church. I am so blessed to live in this beautiful area. I love the schools my kids have, the home we are blessed with, and my friends who support me in so many ways. I could go on and on, but I just wanted to document what I am thankful for this time of year.

Singing cousins

We had a ward talent show tonight, and all the cousins (except the babies) sang the song "in the land of lemonade and lollipops".

I remember signing that song with my sisters when we were young at our ward talent shows. It is fun to see the kids enjoy these fun activities.

Field trip to the Bagelry

I have grown up LOVING bagels from "the bagelry" in Santa Cruz and Soquel. They are awesome, and today Addison's class got to have a field trip tour of how they make them. I think I was more excited to see the process than Addison. After the tour, we got to order our bagels to eat, and I loved sharing one of my favorite places with Addison.

That was one big kitchen-aid

Watching the dough being made into the bagel shape

Fresh out of the oven!!

Hanging out at the park after

Noah was so content just swinging there. I love this boy!!

I enjoyed hanging out with you today Addison!!

Tree lighting on Santana Row

I am officially in the Holiday Spirit after attending the tree lighting event in Santana Row.

We started out with some hot chocolate!

Noah was all cozy for his first holiday outing

The girls just playing around while we listened to live music

Group shot...well, almost all of us are in the picture

Audrey, Hannah, and Addison

The big tree all lit up. It doesn't look that good from my picture, but it was really pretty.

Halloween 2009

Look at Noah's face.....he needs a boy buddy to balance out all these girls

I dressed up this year!!!

Happy Halloween....now what am I suppose to do with all this candy????

Bring on Halloween!!

Halloween is in two days, and we are getting really excited.

I have put off carving pumpkins until now. Just look at how happy Audrey is. But I quickly remember why I don't like to do it....as I am the only one who "guts" the pumpkin

Family fun....look at Noah falling asleep in his high chair....he didn't care much for pumpkin carving

Ta-Da!!!
