Vacation to Corona

Last weekend, we took a mini-vacation to Corona to spend some time with Robert's brother, Phillip, and his family! Meredith was in heaven hanging out with her cousins all weekend...what 2 year old wouldn't love all the attention? We loved having a live-in babysitter (thanks, Em!)...and being able to enjoy some actual "grown-up" time with Phillip & Sara! Thanks you guys...we had a great time!!

Slumber party! (M, Kate & Chad)

Sara cooking a delish breakfast on Saturday morning!

Meredith holding a teeny-tiny apple. Funny how a 2 year old can like an apple so much because it is teeny-tiny...like her!

Kate & Nora

Meredith's favorite thing to do at Phillip & Sara's place...play with these rocks! I can't tell you how many hours (literally) she has spent with this jar of rocks. While we were there, I asked her what she wanted for Christmas and guess what she said..."rocks!" Deal! No toys...just rocks! :)

M & Kate walking around while the boys were skating! Doesn't Kate look like a little mommy...diaper bag and all! So cute!

It's a whopper...beware!

Life has gotten busy lately...but I'm finally posting some pictures from our trip to Arizona. Just a warning, though, there are a lot of pictures...so I won't be offended if you don't look at them all! :) We went home to Arizona for Halloween and we had such a great time! It is always so much fun to see my family and Meredith LOVES seeing all of her cousins...it makes it so hard to leave!!

Anyhow...here are some pics from the trip...including: pumpkin carving, Halloween, Jaycie and Papi's birthdays, a get together we had with some old HB friends (so fun to see you girls!!...thanks, Shannan for having us over!), a get together with my good friend Nikki and her mom (my auntie Patty), and some misc. pics of our girls and the cousins.



Okay...here you go! Finally...pictures from our HB trunk-or-treat party!!

4.5 months old

As you can see, Nora is still growing at an exponential rate. She is 4.5 months old and some of her favorite things include sticking out her tongue, chewing on her fingers and playing with her feet! We took her to her 4 month check up last week and she is perfect! She weighs in at just over 14 pounds and 25.5 inches long! Here's a few pics of my sugar-baby:

Sweet Adeline

So, I am very happy to announce that my big brother and his wife are now officially a family! Hilary had a healty baby girl on November 1st (while we were in Phoenix)! They named her Adeline May Morejon! Congratulations Kimball & Hilary! We love you and we can't wait to see sweet Addie!! Here are a few pics of their little beauty!

Oh, happy day!

Dane and Jessica tied the knot this past Saturday, November 8th! We are SO happy for them and we wish them the happiest future! We love you guys! Here are some pictures from the happy day!



By the way, we've been out of town for almost 2 weeks...thus the big delay in blogging! But...we're back...so I promise I'll post Halloween pics and pics from our trip to AZ soon!

Preschool field trip

We went to Tanaka Farms today with Meredith's preschool class. Sherri & her kids...Korie & Reagan...and Stephanie & Lucas all came with us! It was miserably hot and Nora was having a hard time for awhile, but thanks to some friends in the class and Ms. Linda & Ms. Jeanette...somehow it all worked out fine and we had a great time! Meredith was in heaven when they opened up the door and let the whole class walk right into the petting zoo! That's right...no fence and no barriers between her and the animals...free reign to love the animals as she pleased! Priceless! Here are a few pics from the day!

Pumpkin Patch

Meredith has been begging to go to the pumpkin patch and we finally took her this past Friday. The Lucas family and Grandma and Grandpa Holmes came with us...it was a lot of fun. Here are some pictures from the joyous occassion! The last few pictures are of a visitor we had waiting for us when we got home!

Silly, silly, silly!

Yes, that is a pull-up on Meredith's head. I handed her a pull-up and told her to put it on...a few minutes later, she came into my room dancing around, happy as can be...with the pull-up on her head. She is such a crack-up...love my girl!
