Gobble Gobble

Our trip "home" was fun. We got to see Shane (my brother), his wife Barb and their daughter Ally...its been forever! Literally for Eric, it was his first time meeting them. Unfortunally they didnt get to stay too long but atleast we got to see them for awhile.
Wednesday night got to see Lindsey for awhile. So sweet to take time out of her busy night to come give us some love. <3 *muah*
Thanksgiving was yummy. Had all the usuals. Knotts was having free admission for military so Eric and I ditched the kids and went for a few hours. :)

Friday we braved the crowds at Toys R Us since Mom wanted to take the girls to pick out what they wanted. It was for Maddys bday but ofcourse Tay had to get a toy too. Wes got Baby byebye Chou Chou for Maddy since she has been talking about her for awhile now. Shell even sing her name, its sooo cute! He got Taylor a cute little pup with a leash that has buttons so he can walk and bark. Hes cute...Max is cute!

Saturday we went over to Erics moms house to see the family. It was her bday so we brought her some roses. It always great seeing everyone. Too bad we dont get to do it more often!

Unfortunatly I didnt get many pics... I kept forgetting. I only got a set of Wes and the girls outside sitting together, theyre soo cute...and to hyper to sit still for a picture! haha

Too tired to remember everything at the moment. Time for bed! ZzZZZzzzz...

Measles? Chicken pox? Nope, its just what happens to you when Mommy is on the computer and Big sister decides to stamp all over you with marker stamps! Oh dear.

Winchester Mystery House 11-22-08

Oops! Didnt mean to post yet...still cant figure out the pics issue. Heres some anyway...just cant tell you about them since I cant see where to write next to the picture. :/

(Fixed! Thanks Jill!!!)

Ok, so we didnt get to take any pics inside since I "lost" the battery inside my black hole of a bag! But we got a few of the outside and some of the extra tour.
If you havent been you should go check it out, its pretty neat!







This is the front door. They said only 3 people have ever used it. Mrs Winchester and 2 of her servants.


Eric was proud of this pic so I had to post it. :)
He cant remember why he took this one. haha Ill just use it to show you the funky tree shaped like the decoration on top of the house. At one time, there was 13 palm trees too...her favorite number.
13 panels. There were also alot of 13's inside...13 cabniets in some places, 13 hooks in the closets...
Elevator. Part of the "behind the scence tour"
Boiler
And finally the 2 cutest people you have ever seen! ;)

Question...help please!

When I try to post pics it now shows letters in the previews, not my pics...any idea how to change it back??

Mommy Brag

I pulled out Twister so Maddy and Tay could play around on it and Taylor says, "Mommy, which one should I go on, rojo or azul"? I told her azul and she hopped on the blue ones. I asked her if she knew which one verde was and she pointed to the green!

Just had to share my proud moment!! =)

Weekend fun

Saturday night was Girls Night Out for me and Poker night for Eric. Us girls went to Coldstone and walked around the outdoor mall that closed at 7...on a Saturday!! Borders was open though...nothing like looking through some books and laughing like schoolgirls. Good times! :) After we were done being silly I headed over to see how Eric was doing...not so great when I got there but he ended up winning. Woohoo!

Sunday we headed out to Del Monte beach/park and played some Croquet golf with the munchkins, or tried to anyway. haha We dropped some chips and the birds came like crazy! Maddy ran over to them with her hands on her hips yelling "Nooo birdies!" It was sooo cute, wish I had my camera! Came home and watch Kung Fu Panda...well they did anyway, I fell asleep.

So I didnt get any pics this weekend but I took these this morning...enjoy! :)

Too cute for words!

Painting

We had some mini pinecones sitting around from camping so I had Taylor think of a craft to do...she came up with "Lets make one of those things you put on the door"...a wreath. How cute! So we got out the paints and let the mess begin! :)
I had to get Taylor to focus since it seemed she might want to paint Maddy instead. haha And ofcourse she had to make it more girly by putting the ribbon in the middle. My little Princess. :)

We <3 Charlie and Lola

5 minutes for Mom is having a Charlie and Lola give away! One requirement is to link back to their site, so here you go...




Goodluck!! But not too much, since we looove Charlie and Lola too! ;)

Didnt think I was going anywhere this morning since I was SUPER sick, but we made it out...



Did you?

Happy Halloween

We were lame and forgot our camera battery since it was charging so heres a few pics we got from Brianna, who actually remembered her camera!

Taylor was a princess and Maddy refused to come close to any sort of costume so we settled for a cute owl shirt with pigtails. :) Trick or treating with Jasmin and Abu! While we were taking a pic this lady wanted to take her own pic of the kids!

At church. They had cute games and candy for the kids. Free dinner too, yummy fried chicken and mac. salad.

Aw! princesses holding hands. Too cute!

And a random camping pic. =)
