Ugh

The Christmas tree lighting at FI was brutal this year... for every reason you can imagine, from these photos.

Anybody lose a tooth?

Pey Pey Hlista did. Last Monday P went to school with a tooth barely hanging on. She said it fell on her lap during snack and she picked it up laughing saying, "hey you guys what is this that just fell in my lap.... oh wait, it's my tooth." ha! that kid is funny.

We love our friends, The Hamis.... for their Boat.

Look at these two holding on to each other for dear life in the back of the boat...so cute. Peyton had started out in the front of the boat before she told us, "I think I'm getting air sick."

As Brett would say, "I think Reese's hair is gonna blow off."

Two Year Old Trip to Disney

I love comparing pics of these two at the same age. Can you tell the difference? Same stroller, same sucker, only Pey's was a little bit bigger because we love her more, of course. And... only a lame first time mother would put a bib on their kid so they can eat a sucker. Ha!

the only way...

To capture my childrens briefly passing childhood is... to blog. ugh. It's true. I'm not facebooking (not that it has much to do with your kids), I'm not scrapbooking, I'm not journaling... I'll do as much as I can and when I have a minute I might as well blog it. xo

Trick or Treat

"I'm FIVE!"

What a cool age for a kid... 5. Peyton had a big girl tea party with all her friends from preschool. I don't know what was more fun for her, looking forward to it, or the actual event. She is so PROUD to be five. It's a BIG deal!
I love that kid.

I told Peyton, "you know, maybe you might not want your sister there since it's going to be a BIG GIRL party." she said, "Whaaat, not have my sweetest baby sister there... NO WAY!" She's a better big sis than i was.

Preschool Graduate

longest two weeks...

This is the afterbath of swim lessons. 2 long weeks of tears (Reese's tears) but as soon as we learned to keep her sister in the pool and put matching goggles on her....... the tears were minimal and we have TWO swimmers.

long time no brag... ummm i mean blog

So sorry for my neglect to document our lives in cyberspace, but we've been busy yo.

With what you might ask...

B and T went on a trip ALONE. Yes, that's a picture of me walking down a street without a stroller, baby on hip, gigantic bag on shoulder, etc. You get the picture. We loved San Fran... shopping, walking, eating, drinking. It was borderline, AMAZING.

We went to Disney! The kids and even the moms had so much fun! My fear of loosing Reese has gone straight crazy and I leashed her. Oh yea, I'm that mom with her kid on a leash. But what's my option, loosing her? So Peyton and her friend Boden took turns "walking Reese."

Finally, introducing.... the next...... Chrissy Whalen.

will post more soccer pics later!
