Back In the Day...

I love looking back on old family photos. With kids of my own its nice to see how strong my family's genes are (sorry Paul). Yes, I am the red head (as most of you know) and I have to give my mom props for always having us dressed perfect and everyone coordinated, I don't know how she did it!

Me and my Daddy. I Miss him so much!

Thanksgiving in Santa Barbara

We had such an amazing Thanksgiving with Pauls family. We all met up in Santa Barbara and spent a few days with cousins, brothers and Pauls Mom and Ric. We walked around downtown, went to the Santa Barbara Zoo, Swam in the pool (Mostly the Jacuzzi) and ate WAY to much! 




Gillian and Sidney, these two were highchair buddies! Gilli liked to share her food with Sid and Sid loved watching and playing with her older cousin

Nicky (Gillians sister) and Riley were best buds! Riley just adores her and she is such a sweet heart totally taking care of Riley (Holding his hand going across the street and making sure he uses his manners) Love this girl!
Nicky and Riley agreeing that the Flamingos at the zoo are "Stinky"!

Sidney in the wagon, it seems we have chosen the wagon over the stroller since Riley and Sid are so happy ridding together.

At the zoo they had the coolest hill! They had cardboard so the kids could slide down. Sledding California style?



Nicky and Riley... (The ipad and iphones were great entertainment for all the kids during dinner).

Sid was content with her books and her daddy

Riley LOVES to crawl into Sidney's crib at home (while she's napping) and when we stay in a hotel its no different. She's always happy to see him though. 




This park was just 2 blocks from our Hotel and the kids loved it!

LOVE these Kids!

And they LOVE each other!
  Paul and I are so lucky that these two are growing up to be best friends,
and are fingers are crossed that it will always be this way!

RILEYS PRESCHOOL FEAST!

I love all the holiday parties at Riley's pre-school. Miss Dianne and the kids sing a few songs, dance and then its time to eat. Riley isn't much or a performer, he usually just stands there and looks around, but its entertaining none the less!

Boys night out

I cant express enough how awesome it is that my brother and my husband are friends, and we have boys the same age who love to play together. It makes for so many fun outings and awesome memories. On this evening the BOYS headed to the La Galaxy Vs. Denver soccer game.
