Christmas Time

I got to spend the day at disneyland with Cole, Sara, and Liza. I was so excited because I feel like I never get to spend one on one time with Cole and it was so nice! it is so funny after you have 3 kids, 1 feels SO easy! Sara said I acted like it was a day at the spa:). Well to me it was equally as nice, just in a different way.

Cole told me after this ride "I don't really like that ride too much, it wasn't fun" Liza loved it SO much she was super bugged we had to get off.

Besties!

First timer!!
I am so behind on blogging, more to come!!!!!!!!

Santa Barbara Zoo

Nicole and I took the kids to Santa Barbara Zoo again. One of our favorite places to visit. It is such a nice zoo, not too big, and the scenery can't be beat. This is little Creed crawling across a grass area where we sat and ate our lunches while looking out over the ocean.
Creed is such a great little boy. He lets us take him anywhere we want to, and at any time too. I'm sure that a big part of that is me and Nicole learning to relax more. Whatever the reason, he is a great kid.
Another view of our little picnic area.
Where is Savannah in all of these pictures? Oh yea, she is in school! Ha Ha. She always has fun there too though.
Mommy and her boys
This is what happens when Creed, or anyone for that matter, takes one of Cole's "Zoo Chips". I have discovered a brand of Chips called Kettle Brand Buffalo Bleu. Our kids refer to them as Zoo Chips because they mainly get them when we go to the Zoo. In the above picture, Creed has just taken one of Cole's beloved chips.
Creed has the best smile. I'm loving my little boy smile too. I'm still trying to learn how to smile for pictures.
Cole looking out across the water at the monkey island. You can't see them in this picture, but the monkeys that reside on the island are usually pretty entertaining. Just one of the many habitats that we love at the Santa Barbara Zoo. I also really like the Gorilla enclosure, the penguins, the Snow Leapord and the California Condor habitats.
The two boys in front of Savannah's favorite animals, the Flamingos.
Me and my big guy. Cole is so funny. He always tells me, "Daddy, will you beat me up?" and "Hit me daddy, hit me!" He really likes to play rough. I don't mind too much, it's my favorite way to play too. Fun times in the past. Lots of fun times coming our way in the near future. Stay tuned for some new blogs in the next month and a half.

Halloween Pics!!

We have been so crazy busy around here I haven't had time to post halloween pics! So here they are, we went to the Roger and Vanessa's house for dinner and treat or treating in their neighborhood after. Their neighborhood was ALL decked out for halloween and almost every house was participating in the trick or treating. We only had to do 1 street and the kids bags were brimming with candy-which is still hanging out in a special place by the way. It keeps dwindling day by day. I swear the kids are eating some of it. And I wonder why I can't lose weight :) Yummy as soon as the halloween candy is gone the rest of the holidays start, so much good food in the fall and winter!
Our sleepy monster at the end of the night
I know my old navy trick or treat bags are ghetto but I forgot to get cute ones!



she said she had to stop and smell the flowers like a real butterfly
Ok i know this is super gross but i had to post this pic! This crazy lady (pictured below) had her house all decked out and it was super scary! Good thing it was dark, the kids didn't notice all the weird stuff


Creed didn't get any candy but the dentists were passing out toothbrushes so that was his special treat. Thanks roger and vanessa, keeping even the youngest mouths clean!

Our pirate







A day earlier we went to the pumpkin patch by our house. It was freezing cold and I forgot my jacket so we didn't stay long.

Sorry so many pictures, I am using this as our scrapbook now so I like to have lots!! So Halloween is over, on to Thanksgiving..........

Don't take my Neosporin

WHAT THE!

That's what I thought..................

Halloween time at Disneyland

At the end of the night you get a child who falls to sleep crying because she wants to watch fireworks but is too tired to stay awake.
I loved this pic with his little toes peeking out. He hates socks and takes them off as soon as I put them on him

Vanessa, Marina, Cole and I
They told me I didn't push as fast as daddy
Devon and Savannah with Minnie
Visiting Minnie's house

Creed was quite the sensation in his little halloween outfit, almost every person who walked by had to stop and comment on how cute he looked! (thanks to Sara for making the cute onesie :)
Savannah loved having creed ride with her on the carousal, Cole said "I don't like this baby riding on my horse"
Got over to disneyland yesterday to check out the halloween decorations, I love it at halloween time. Met up with the Wests and had a blast

Crazy hair day!!

el pelo estuvo loco
savannah is learning from her spanish classes :)

Trip to AZ

Look at this little imp, I could just kiss him all day. We were able to take a super fun trip to Arizona last week for 4 days. We had a blast. Carinn and Eric, Rox and Gary, and Jenna & Kellan were all there so it was a big family affair.
Neal and Eric. It is exhausting being 2. And apparently being 29 too?
Kel and Jenna
Baby Bri and Grandma. This baby was the nicest baby ever. I tried to convince her brother and sister to let me have her but they said no.
Alauna had to stay in her room the whole time since she was super sick. Neal, Breanne, and Creed all took home a little souvenior of our trip- they are all super sick right now. Creed has bronchitis.
Celebrating Gma's Birthday with the motherloade cake! Happy Birthday Grandma, we love you!
Cole spent most of his time on the trampoline. He also loved playing with his friend Neal and his new "grandpa" gary. We kept telling him he was his uncle but he wanted to call him Grandpa. It was funny.
The little guy!

The kids thought it would be super funny to hide in the front room and surprise Grandma.
Surprise!
Hey there hot mama! I should not have let Carinn around my husband with her hair like this AND holding a broom, it is too much temptation.
Funny face Grandma
getting a shower

Dressing up in her apron at Grandpa Steve's
His first taste of pretzel and boy did he think he was in heaven. Roxxane also gave him his first taste of chocolate- the mother load cake from claim jumper. He was freaking out from excitement
Savannah loved playing with Payson
Nick and Creed
She rode this bike around the track like 20 times. Good thing she was wearing the life jacket, its kinda like a helmet for your body in case you wipe out
