Birthdays, Disneyland, Turkey Dinner & The Beach, What a WEEK!

My Sister & her family were able to come spend the Thanksgiving Holiday with us.  What a fun and memorable weekend. (look @ ALL those BOYS, my poor sister)
We were able to spend a whole day at the beach!  The kids loved every minute and I was able to get some great shots of all the kids enjoying a little SURF & SAND!

Disneyland was a big hit.  It is crazy what a KID you become when you step foot on Disneyland grounds.  We were there from Sun up to Sun down!
Scott and I are so lucky we are able to GROW OLD TOGETHER!
(sure love ya babe!)
THE BOYS WAITING FOR THE PERFECT WAVE!
Nothing BEATS a day at the Beach the day after THANKSGIVING!

Sadie's Silly Fun with the BOYS!

We loved every minute we were able to spend with our cousins.  We made some great memories and look forward to many more to come.

Quick Trip to Pismo Beach!



We spent the night at Pismo Beach, since the kids had no school for Veterans Day!

The kids had so much fun exploring and climbing on the cliffs!

TRICK OR TREAT!

It is hard to believe that yet another Halloween has come and gone.  Halloween is a much anticipated day for the little ones and a whirlwind for the mothers and just another day for the dad ( atleast in our home).  The kids were so excited and we had a wonderful time full of tricks and of course many a treats!  (Sadie is in heaven, her middle name is SUGAR)
Sadie and Kade posing for another picture, Kade not so thrilled!
Kade was Russel Martin, many of you I am sure are not aware of who he is.  He is the Dodgers catcher.  Kade is truly obsessed with this man.  He has actually told me he would like to change his name when he is older to Russel and he wants me to sign him up for baseball as Russel Martin so he can have MARTIN on his jersey.  Hopefully this wears off before he is of age.  He liked the candy thing for the 1st few houses then he was pretty much done and just wanted to play with the neighbors.
Mitchell was not sure what he wanted to be this year, so I went to the store and decided for him.  He was ok with the idea of a vampire, especially when I put some blood and scratches on his face.  He LOVES, LOVES, LOVES halloween and all the treats.  Only bad thing is he can only eat a few of the candies due to his braces!  Oh well, better on the teeth anyway.  
(p.s. I think he makes a handsome EDWARD!)
Sadie is still not sure of the whole dressing up thing so I found this costume and I knew she would look darling.  After a lot of bribing , Kade was able to get this on her.  When we started trick or treating Scott and I thought she might be a little hesitant, she was until she received her first treat and then  it was all over, she was the leader of the pack and Scott and I had to do everything just to keep up with her.  Towards the end, we could tell she was tuckerd out and the bag was dragging behind her. Finally we called it quits.  She loves her snacks and keeps asking for more snacks please, more snacks please!
