Pumpkin Patch!

 We went to the pumpkin patch with Ella's pre-kindergarten class at the end of October.  We've had a lot of rain for Southern Cal. lately and I think this was the first time I've been to the pumpkin patch when it hasn't been above 95 degrees!  Parker spilled his drink on his shirt and refused to wear it (the story of my life).  That boy is making me old!

Construction Time!

Matt's parents came to visit and Matt and his dad put a door on our extra bedroom so now our guests have some privacy.  Parker decided he could help.  We're still waiting on the doorknob so I'll post the picture of the door after that comes.  It's so nice to have a handy husband and 2yr old!:)

I'm Baaaackkkkk!

It has been almost two years since my last post but I finally decided to get blogging again.  I've updated my blog design and hopefully will be more faithful at making posts.  We went to Disneyland again this Fall.  We had a great time.  Especially since all of our kids were old enough to enjoy it.  Matt and I went on more Fantasy Rides than we ever have before.  Here are a few pictures of our day.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Carter and Ella singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - their new favorite song. It really has made Christmas fun this year, seeing their excitement and hearing them sing. Push the pause on the playlist so you can hear it.

Ella turns three!

On Nov. 4th Ella turned three! I can hardly believe my little girl is no longer a toddler but a "preschooler" although technically not in preschool; that would require being POTTY TRAINED! But I'm not frustrated or anything. :) I took her to the doctor for her yearly check up and they gave me a sheet of questions to ask her. One of the questions was to have her identify some animals on the paper. There was a cat, horse, fish, man etc. First I pointed to the cat and asked her what it was. With much enthusiasm she said "a lion"! Great I thought, right family lets go on. Next I pointed to the horse and she said "a zebra"! I laughed did a couple more and then pointed to the man. "It's Jesus!" she exclaimed. There's my little Ella always making things just a little better than they are.
