Why we love daddy...

Rooting for dad at the football championship game...
As you can see the girls can't get enough of Daniel..but either can I. :)

Thanksgiving Blessings

Pin the tail on the turkey...

Pumpkin Pie

Nothing says thanksgiving like saying "cheese!" with a mouth full of food :)

Lauren~my little pie maker

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving at home with Daniel's aunt and uncle. It's strange to say "home" because we always call Oregon home.... I guess now that the girls are getting older home is where your little monkeys are... :)

We have a lot to be thankful for this year....our health, our family, and friends both old and new. This year we made a thankful tree so the girls could count their blessings as well.

Beach Trip!

Last weekend we went down to Monterey so Daniel could run the 1/2 Marathon with my friend's hubby Christian. We had a great time spending the weekend with our good friends the Belleza's and Darcy was nice enough get some great shots of our family on the beach..something I have wanted to do for a long time! She takes great pics..check out her site. http://darcybellezaphotography.blogspot.com/

Fire Station Adventures...

Fun with Friends

Our little kitties has a great time this Halloween with friends and family. I think Lauren enjoyed passing out candy as much as she enjoyed going door to door. The girls traded their buckets of sugar in and I tossed it as quickly as possible....right after I helped myself to a few favorites :).

Pumpkin Patch Fun

We love the fall! There is nothing better in October than changing leaves and the warm yet cooler weather of Northern California this month. The girls and I enjoyed daddy's day off today so we had a great time as a family at the pumpkin patch.

What to do when mommy is busy...

Okay so I learned my lesson today while being distracted doing homework....when the girls are quiet they are busy! Shannon decided to help herself the new box of band aids....a favorite around our house. Pretty impressive how she neatly placed them on her leg in a nice row.....so maybe I need to pay more attention. :)
