Christmas Cookies

Having worked Christmas Eve and Christmas Night I'm a little behind on the posts...so they may be a little out of order...same cute kids though!

Christmas with my 1st Baby!

Gracie Pearl. She is 14. She kept me sane while Joe and I waited patiently for a baby or two LOL! Every year she gets a present and every year she unwraps it! Everybody loves to watch.

Merry Christmas!

Jordyn's 10th Birthday Celebration

We went to the Country Club Plaza.

We started out seeing Alvin and the Chipmunks. Then headed to the Plaza. We went to Starbucks and the girls had a Mocha Mint and they loved it. It did however HYPE them up LOL We then walked over to Children's Place (GAP had nothing) and the girls got their matching pink vests (sparkly) and pink hats! After that we waited for our cinderella carriage. They performed for people walking by - so funny!

We met our horse DUKE. The picures tell the whole story. We then got on our carriage. Very magical. The girls went nuts waving and saying hello....then someone yelled hey it's Hannah Montana and they were cool man. The ride was beautiful.

After that it was to the Melting Pot. What fun that was. We then decided to walk off our dinner and went shopping. I was in Williams Sonoma shopping and the girls tried on every lotion they had (picture). Then off to Pottery Barn Kids and they played in the kitchen stuff while I bought stuff for Parker.

Back home for Lauren to spend the night.

It was so much fun and I hope it is a memory she has forever.

Santa Claus

It took everything Connor boy had to stand next to Santa! LOL

Happy 10th Birthday Connor and Jordyn

Wow! 10 years has flown by! They are wonderful and I feel very lucky to have them!

Thanksgiving Centerpiece

Hope everyone had a GREAT thanksgiving. I worked nights but survived anyway! I got to watch the megawatts go up when they pulled the switch to light up the plaza!

The kids made this for our thanksgiving centerpiece . We saw it on Family Fun

Leaves Leaves Leaves

Annie spent a lot of time raking all the leaves and then Connor came and joined the
fun of playing in them!

Connor and Jordyn - almost 10

They had a portrait session last night...I hope hope it comes out good. I took these later in the evening. It is hard to believe they will be 10 in December. Where did my babies go....

HALLOWEEN NIGHT

It turned out to be a GREAT night. Not too awful cold at all. In fact with the costumes on the kids didn't get compain once! Parker did fabulous keeping up with the older ones until her bag of candy got to big. Then it was up to me to carry it! LOL





Gotta have a picture on the first porch
