Thanksgiving Images

While all my family were visiting for Thanksgiving, I took my brother and family to downtown Paso for some Christmas pictures. They are such a cute family. Thank you everyone for coming, I miss you bunches already!



Garrett was having a great time playing in the leaves too!

New Moon

My friend Alissa's husband Ben organized a Girls Night Out for her birthday on the opening night of NEW MOON. It was a blast he got a limo and went to the midnight showing at the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo. We met at Alissa's house before hand and did spa treatments and had dessert, it was such a blast. Alissa did this New Moon raffle and Joddy won an Edward doll (she is holding it in every picture), I was super jealous. Maybe she will be interested in joint custody. We laughed in the theater at all the crazy fans, like the guy who showed up dressed like Edward with glitter all over his face and hands. I have so much fun, thanks for the great night!

Here is the group:

Me and Alissa on the right (all smiles for Edward)

The Edward doll...so, so cool
Getting ready for the movie to start!

Being Thankful

Garrett (4 years)

Garrett has been say some pretty funny thing lately, so funny I had to share it with you. He is really cleaver and Aaron and I are still trying to figure out how comes up some of his sayings.

Tonight, Aaron and I were discussing cars and which car to purchase and Garrett chimes in to say:

"You get what you get, and don't have a fit"

Hilarious!

Last Sunday Garrett insisted that he carry this old book around all day, and when we asked him why he was so interested the vintage book, he replied

"I reading the book about Jesus"

In the Primary Program the children will be performing on Sunday, Garrett was given a part. Scary. When it was his turn to go up to the stand and practice. Here is what happened...

Teacher: (whispering) Garrett, say "my body is a temple".
Garrett: (into the microphone) My body is a temple, and it makes me feel good
Where did that come from? Talk about random!

We have been talking about Thanksgiving this week, and I asked Garrett what he was thankful for, he said "My mommy and daddy". Awwww.

Lily (13 months)

Lily is walking and is following her brother all over the house. I gave her pig tales for the first time the other day, so cute! She loves to play with Garrett's trucks and cars, her kitchen and loves to eat sand.

Everything she finds around the house, she puts on her head. Daddy's sock...it's a hat, Tupperware container...it's a hat, dish towel...it's a hat. It never ends, everything's a hat. Even in the picture above, she is probably thinking to herself "Hmmm, wonder if this pumpkin could be a hat?"

These are the moments that I stand back and feel and overwhelmed with blessing that I have these adorable little ones in my life. They are my greatest blessing, they bring so much joy and happiness into my life. I'm truly thankful for my family!

Las Vegas PBR and Happy Birthday

The family and I went to the PBR Finals in Las Vegas last week, we had a great time. We ate at great restaurants, swam in the pool, and did some major shopping (as much as you can do with two kids). Being that all we have here is Target, I practically had a nervous breakdown walking through the mall. So many options, so many stores. We were thankful that we could go the PBR at night, wouldn't have been able to without my mom helping us out!

So many great memories...got to ride in a limo, got front row seats at the big event, went to a pre-party at the Hard Rock Hotel, met up with my friend Joddy to shop at H & M, and most of all got to celebrate Aaron's 30th birthday!! Thank you Smith Family for making Aaron feel so special on his birthday, we loved the party!

I will post pics soon, for some reason they will not post.

Halloween Babies

Here are few pics of the kids at Halloween this year. Lily was the cutest little ladybug and Garrett was Mr. Incredible! Garrett had a Harvest Festivel at his school this year, that is where he got the cool Spiderman face paint.

Lily was so cute in her costume, we pulled the kids around the neighborhood in the wagon. Garrett loves running to each house, he said he wished everyday was Halloween. He is still asking me if we can go Treat or Treating. Too cute!!
