Matt came for the parade

Neighborhood Block party before trick or treating

The girls had a great time! They loved everything. Claire especially loved that Matt took her around the ENTIRE neighborhood trick or treating and she filled an entire pillow case. It was a great night but we are all wiped out!

Addy's First Day of Preschool

Today was Addy's first day of Preschool at Good Shephard. She was super excited and had a great day. She cannot wait to go back!

First Day Of Kindergarden

Today was Claire's first day of Kindergarden and she was super excited! The only tears were from Mommy (but Claire did not see me cry). She was ready! I can't wait to pick her up and hear all about it!

BIG NEWS!

It has been along time since I have updated my blog. It has been a crazy fun summer. The most exciting thing that happened over the summer is that we found out that we were going to have baby number 3! And even more exciting to end the summer with a bang we found out it is a GIRL! Everything looks great and we can't wait to meet this little girl in January. It is going to be a great year:)

FAMILY

Sorry I have not posted in a long time. I will try and be better.

For Easter we headed up north to visit with my family. I love getting together with my family because between all three of us we have 7 kids. It is so much fun to get together. The best part was meeting my new neice Haley. She is so pretty. I truly enjoyed holding her. I miss the baby stage.

This is the best picture I could get of all the kids. Might I add I cannot believe that my Neice Maddy is 13. WOW, I am getting old.

Proud Mama

Today Addy started Tap/ Ballet combo class. We have been waiting for her to turn 3 to take the class. She was so excited (so was Mama). She LOVED it! I think she is going to be a dancer like her Mama. She was really interested and listened well. I was so excited I took about 100 photos. She was the cutest little dancer ever. Below are a few of my favorite photos.

We can't wait until next week!

Go Red Sox!

After 2 weeks of being sick Claire finally got to play in her first T-Ball game. She was so excited. Last night we had practice and she did great! She was so excited to be back. She got up to bat and off she went. She just started hitting those balls one after another. She was great. I think Matt could not have been more proud. It was unexpected for sure.

This morning Claire was up bright and early for her 8:30am game. She had no idea what to do (having never played a game of baseball) but she was ready. When it was her time up to bat she put on her helmet and hit the first ball. She was not quite sure what to do after she hit the ball but quickly remembered to fun to first. She did great! Then when she went out on the field she went after every ball that was hit. She could not get enough. She had a HUGE smile on her face and loved it. She even got be be catcher. She had a great time.

Matt and I were so proud:)

My little baseball player!

We are looking forward to a fun year. GO RED SOX!

Long Day

What happens when you spend the day running around taking your sister to school, picking her up, going to the park, playing with the neighborhood kids, then end the day with a melt down?

You fall asleep on the kitchen floor.

I could not resist taking a picture of this. You will notice not only is she alseep on the floor with her blanket, she also has gotten herself dresses in a beautiful outfit. Priceless!

A Day at the Zoo

My Mom aka "Sneaker Mimi" was in town last week. Monday we decided to take the kids to the Santa Ana Zoo. My kids love the zoo. It was a fun day! Here are some cute pictures I took of the girls!

I love this picture.

Claire is 5!

It official, my baby is 5 years old! After celebrating everyone birthday in the family her day had finally come and she was ready. The morning of her birthday she comes running in our room screaming, "I am 5, I am 5, I am 5". She was beyond excited!

We celebrated her birthday with a trip to Dave and Busters followed by a special birthday dinner with Mimi and Papa. It was a great day.

Sunday we had her birthday party with all of her friends. We had a cooking party at out house. It was a blast. The kids made pizza and cupcakes, decorated chefs hats, and had a pinata (Claire insisted and the kids LOVED it). It was a really cute party.

It was a great birthday for Claire that I am sure she will remember for along time.

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY CLAIRE!!!
