Here comes Santa Claus

We took our yearly trip to the North Pole( mall ) to see the big man himself, Santa Claus! It went better then expected. I knew Conrad would be good because he is just Mr. Social and has been talking about Santa all week. I was worried about Bug but she did pretty good, didn't love it but she didn't kick and scream. Conrad went right up and sat on Santa's lap and showed him all of his boo boo's. He was trying to score some sympathy points not doubt, smart kid. Then I threw Kylie on his lap and ran to hide behind and elf so she wouldn't freak out and they could snap a quick photo. So yea, it was good.

It's Back

Yes, the pumpkin spice latte is here at last! This is one of the most looked forward to days of the year for me. Not only because it is the most delicious thing ever, but because it, along with the wild fires ripping through southern California, signifies that fall has finally fallen upon us. Ahhh Fall, my favorite season of the year. I am so excited and looking forward to all the wonderful things this season brings with it.

Conrads 2nd Birthday!

My big boy turned two on the 5th! I can't believe how time flies by. Here is a sideshow of his birthday party.

New Roommate

I went to move Kylie's play gym the other day and this little ( um, big ) guy ran out from under it!!




I have never seen such a big spider in all of my life! I screamed bloody murder and the poor guy ran away under the sofa before Drew had a chance to kill him. Poor spider, I probably scared him as much as he scared me! I saw him later on by the fireplace and snapped this photo just in case anyone got bitten by him. I had no idea what kind of spider he was. I called Drew to come kill it and then when i got back he was gone again! Well, I haven't seen him since and I am too scared to move the sofa and look and he is probably to scared to come out from under there. Yuck! I hope he decided to leave.

I was informed later that he is a perfectly harmless Grass spider, very common. I spent all day telling drew it was a baby tarantula. I showed him the picture and he told me it's just a house spider...JUST A HOUSE SPIDER??!!! yea, maybe when your house is in the middle of nowhere in the dessert! I can't wait to move back to Orange County!

Here is Kylie

this is just some pics of her first week of life and her at 6 months old. I have way to many inbetween photos to pick from so i am just not going to go there. :)

This is a slide show of her first week of life, look at all that hair! Ignore me i look like a mess in all of these.

Here she is at six months old!

She is an amazing little girl. She has so much personality and the biggest dimples you have ever seen, her smile can light up a room. She is a bit of a diva and we call her out drama queen because thats exactly what she is. Kylie gets what she wants when she wants it and she will let you know if she isn't happy. This one will give us a run for our money I am sure of that. ;)

I'm back

I was on a very long blog hiatus, but i am back, now lets get down to buisness.

I had my daughter Kylie on October 24th, she was/is gorgeous! She was born with dark brown, thick hair but in the past six months it has faded to a light chestnut/dark blond color. I think she will eventually be completely blond. So that makes me a stay at home mommy of two now. Two kids under two for the next month until Conrad's birthday. Other then the new addition to the family nothing else has changed.

That's it for now but I will upload some pics of the past few months so you can see what you have missed.
