Thankful

I am thankful for you! Enjoy your turkey day! :)

Snow Day!

Sunday was Snow Day at church. Sledding and snow ball fighting is always interesting when you get 100 plus kids/ adults together of varying ages. Katelyn enjoyed sledding and even took Nicholas for a run and Blake spent his time making snowballs and throwing them at Travis and the adults! It was a nice, warm, snow day... in Yorba Linda, Calif!

Whoo hoo, this is fun!

Updates... Finally!

I know, I know... major slacking in the blogging department. Of course this is the busiest time of the year so I can't make any guarantees that I am going to keep up! Sorry! :) I have back-dated some of the highlights of October and the first half of November (because that is how anal I am and I want things to appear in order... yes, I know... lame!)

At any rate, I hope you are all having a HAPPY Tuesday!! Scroll down to check out what we (i.e the kids!) have been up too!

Oh and of course, no post is complete without a photo...so you get three...

Our handsome nephew Nicholas (aka mini Scott), 9 months.

Our adorable niece Peyton, 4 1/2 months.

Blake, Katelyn and Tyler-- cutie cousins, 4 years-old.

Baby Shower - Annie

On Saturday I hosted a baby shower for Steve's cousin Annie. She is expecting her second child-- a baby boy on December 25! We played some really fun games, enjoyed some yummy cupcakes, made the baby some adorable onesies with iron-on designs, watched her open some adorable gifts and had a great time showering her with our best wishes. We can't wait to meet her sweet little bundle next month!

Congratulations Annie, Heath and Tyler!!

The mommy-to-be!

Happy Halloween!

A SWAT police officer and Cinderella appeared around Halloween time. The kids trick-or-treated with their friend Tyler aka Spiderman. We had a fun night and the kids brought in lots of loot.

Katelyn Meets Belle

Katelyn and Blake were invited to Ella's birthday party and guess who was their to celebrate with Ella and all the kids... Belle from Disney's Beauty and the Beast! She read stories to the kids, played games, helped do the pinata, helped cut the cake, sang and danced and posed for pictures. (Which Blake wanted nothing to do with!) But miss Katelyn was in heaven and had fun meeting a princess!

Happy 5th Birthday Ella!

Griffith Park Train Museum

The kids and I headed to Los Angeles one day to see the train parks up at Griffith Park. You can check them out here. It was such a nice day and we had lots of fun riding miniature trains, having a picnic lunch and seeing all the big trains at the train museum park. Definitely a fun place to go visit if you have little ones (or big ones) who are interested in trains.
