FULL

Yes, my hands are full but so is my heart!!

Growing Up!

my little "big" man! Loves skateboarding, wrestling, books and preschool!

Everyone always told me, " just wait, they grow up so fast!" and I was always " yeah,yeah,ok, sure"...and now...I'm a Believer!! I mean my babies that I just gave birth to yesterday are growing up! And don't get me wrong I LOVE watching them grow, change, mature and learn new things but it also makes me sad...it's a bittersweet thing really. And people are always asking us "so you guys aren't done?" or " you're gonna have more??" and the answer is yes!! People think we are crazy sometimes but it is just right for us. We love kids, being parents, being pregnant (ok, I guess I love that one) and we can't wait to have more...ok we can....we're content right now. Our hands are full at the moment but in a year or two or three we would love to add another addition to our family. But until then we are loving life and enjoying watching our children grow!

Miss Ireland Kate is "officially" walking now! And may I add "into everything!!"

She is such a character and I just love her big toothy smile!

And Miss Riley Ann....look at those eyes! She is just growing up before our eyes!

Uh-Oh!

I think the pool may overflow??? The weather here in "sunny,beachy CA" is the complete opposite right now! Don't get me wrong, I love it! I love snuggling, fires, hot cocoa, laying in bed and listening to the rain(if that ever happens) but, I don't like that our backyard that we've been working so hard on now looks like a tornado went through it. Our pool is about to overflow any minute, there's a lounge chair in the pool along with tree branches and a gazillion leaves, the umbrella broke in the wind and the kids little dollhouse/playhouse completely fell apart.......looks like Daddy has some work to do :)

Poundcake with a Chocolate Glaze

I Love Fall!!!

My favorite season of them all:
pumpkins

warm meals/crockpot

chilly weather

no air conditioner

open windows and nice breezes

scarves

baking

trees changing color

slippers

Halloween/Thanksgiving

pie

snuggling with blankets and a fire

but sad it doesn't last for very long!! Oh Fall how I adore you!!
