Our Third annual visit to the Santa Train

Last night found us waiting in line for Santa at Irvine Park. They have a train ride that takes you right to him and then the kids get to tell him what they want For Christmas. Nicholas had a ball with Megan and the other kids. The line was a bit long and we almost starved to death, but its about creating long lasting memories right?? We hit Macaroni Grill after and Nicholas finally hit the bed about 9pm...It was really fun and we cant wait until next year.

Thanksgiving up in NO. Cal

We went up to Elk Grove for a week over Thanksgiving. We had a nice long visit which allowed more time for seeing friends and family. I got to see my high school girlfriends Pennie, Shannon, and Jenny 3 out of 4 of us are pregnant. The kids had a ball together. We got to go to my sister Felicias house and spend a day with Tiffany at the Train museum. The grandparents got lots of nIcholas time and everyone was happy.

Nicholas and his So. Cal cousins

We had a nice Turkey dinner here with The Aufdembergs before heading up north. We managed to get some cute pics of NIcholas with Carter, drew and Nolan.

Halloween 2007

We had such a great Halloween. We had the Moreys, Dickinsons, and Rochs over for dinner and then trick or treated the neighborhood...It is so much fun for the kids to do it together. They had a blast and I think the parents had just as much fun. we had yummy Chili, corn bread, and salad for dinner with Pumpkin bread for dessert. The kids were wild indians by the time we got back from the treating and they all had big bags full....I am not sure what we are going to do with it all. This is one of our favorite holidays and Nicholas even got to have his mommom and poppop come and go out with him too....

Fall Days

We have been enjoying the fall except for the lack of actual Fall weather and except for the smoke that lasted 2 weeks due to our big fire. We have not been affected by that so we are very thankful. Nicholas is enjoying it and all the pumpkins and halloween decorations. His class got to pick out there very pumpkin and has been making lots of scary treats. Aunt Felicia gave us a haunted gingerbread house to decorate and we had fun doing that although I think Chris and I did most of the work while our little Godzilla ate stuff off of it.

Another big moment was getting his first Cleates. Daddy took him to Sports Mart and they picked them out and now the kid thinks he is a big time soccer star....They are so cute.

I just had my 6 month visit and am doing well...Everything is on track and baby is due to come February 13th. I even have the hospital scheduled. the only advantage of having to have a C-section. So we don't know the sex, but we know the birthstone and birthsign.....We are getting excited and baby is not giving me a break wiht constant kicking and rolling.....Cant wait to meet it.....

Pumpkin Patch

It is that time of year again and I love it...The fall weather and the beautiful days. We of course had to make our first trip to the Patch...Nicholas had so much fun exploring all of the pumpkins and scarecrows. He is going to love Halloween this year.

visit from the Ragsdales

I have not blogged in awhile I guess my pregnancy has made me quite lazy...I am feeling good although at 5 and 1/2 months you would think that I would not need naps anymore..\
The Ragsdales were in Carlsbad and Nicholas and I drove to visit them. We had such a good time and saw Oceanside pier for the first time...It was a great time and NIcholas had so much fun running around with his cousins.
