Birthdays and Cakes

November is birthday month for Rob and I. Cake, turkey, pie and then more cake...and now off to the gym!!!!

To the zoo we will go....

Definitely the weirdest looking turtles I have ever seen.

Jaedyn's favorite part of the zoo and Ashlyn's least favorite part...the sky ride!






The loves of Jaedyn's life.

Feet and Faces

Have I mentioned how much I love these beautiful little eyelashes?

And these cute little tootsies?

And these adorable tiny freckles?


And that little button nose?

Got Sleep?

I couldn't resist some pictures of these little nuggets sleeping away. I was reminded today of how blessed I am with these two little cuties. I cannot recall even one single morning when they didn't wake up with a big smile on their face. So happy and such a blesssing.

I got a little nervous....I had to wake her up on this day because it was getting late and she was dead asleep.



Jaedyn never takes naps anymore, but he had his first sleepover party this past weekend with his little buddy Connor. Connor and Jaedyn stayed up until about 10:30 laughing and giggling and then Jaedyn waltzed into our room at 4am wide awake because he couldn't sleep anymore with Connor. Exhausted? Yes!

Window Watching

One morning of this past week we had someone floating around in a bucket pruning the trees right around our window. We perched ourselves on the futon and watched for a few minutes.

The Water Floutist

Pools? Who needs em!

For those of you who live on the east coast and woke up to snow this morning, you might want to turn back now. :) We had a heat wave last week with temperatures in the high 90's and low 100's for about 4 days. I have to say as much as I love the fall a heat wave with spontaneous trips to the beach and storage bin swims are just fabulous!

Tricks and more treats

The Friday before Halloween we went to VIASAT, where Rob works to trick or treat around the offices.  It was lots of fun and holy cow do we have a lot of candy!!!

I couldn't resist posting these of a friend of ours.  This cute little guy, Kai is his name was dressed up like "Nacho Libre".  Too stinkin' funny!

Trick or Treat

For Halloween Jaedyn dressed up as a bat and Ashlyn was a butterfly.   I was a little nervous about the bat costume because Jaedyn talked and talked and talked and talked about dressing up as a "big black bat with giant ears and huge wings that would make him fly" literally every day for a couple of weeks before Halloween.   He was soooooo excited and focused on the features...I was really hoping that I could whip something up that he would love.  Thankfully I  did...he LOVED his big ears and his wings.
We did some trick or treating with one of Jaedyn's best friends, Connor.  We headed to their house for some chili and corn bread and then busted a move around their neighborhood for some treats.  Jaedyn zipped around from house to house running ahead of the rest of us.  Ashlyn tried to keep up, but once she realized what was in her little bucket all she wanted to do was eat the candy!

Felicita Park

I have run into some technical difficulties with the blogging world these last few weeks.  I am quickly running out of space on my blogs so I'll have to go back to posting small sized photos rather than the super fun big ones to save some room.  :0( 
Anyway we took a trip to Felicita Park a couple of weeks ago on a hot sunny fall San Diego day.  A great park indeed, especially if you want some professional pictures done!  There are lots more of the girls on my photoblog if you want to take a peek.
