Happy Halloween!

What a couple of weeks we have had. Lots of updates are to come on what has been going on in our lives, but wanted to give a little Halloween preview and fall inspiration of our little pumpkin!

Growing up at the Firestation

This Week

We are getting very excited around here for this weekend. On Saturday, I am hosting Meghan's bridal shower. Addy and I are very excited to entertain and have a party. And, if that wasn't enough for the weekend we are also hosting (well K and Addy) a happy hour in celebration of my master's degree. If anyone is in town and wants to stop by it is from 3-6 at our house. Week has been going well and we are surviving the weather. Here are a few pictures from this week of my little cutie. The bruise on her head is from hitting it on the pew at church last Sunday. Gotta love the life of a little one!

Good Day!

Addy and I shared a really good day today...just the two of us. We woke up and went to mass. I can not say that it was the greatest experience in the world, but we survived it. We then came home and Addy took at nice nap while I was able to get some things done. A trip to Target and Trader Joes and home we went. We didn't even have 1 melt down in either store. Addy just wanted everything I would put in the cart in TJs. Once home we had some really fun play time. This little girl amazes me how smart she is. I can ask her to get or do something and she does it. She may not be vocalizing words let, but she gets her point across. We then enjoyed a nice little bike ride, complete with Addy getting her helmet and glasses off in the middle of it. Luckily I caught it in time before she had a chance to throw them. The last part of our ride we went and visited the ducks and ran around the park. Addy thought it was so much fun to play chase. Times like these really make me see what life is all about. I wish K was there to share in our fun experiences. We then returned home for dinner (protest free :)) , bath and bed by 7:15. It was a great way to end the weekend. Tomorrow it is back to work for another week. Love to everyone and hope life is going well and you see and cherish all the "good" things in life.

Happy Wedding Mike and Becky

We attended Mike and Becky's wedding last weekend at a beautiful winery in Temecula. Although, we were having some hot weather, it was beautiful and a wonderful breeze seemed to make its way through. Addy had a blast and danced the night away. Another great time with the D family! Thankd for including us in your special day. Congratulations to Mike and Becky!

Happy Birthday Paul

We have had a few busy couple of weeks. We celebrated our good friend Paul's 30th birthday down at Newport Dunes. It was a blast. Addy decieded that she would stand in the kyack the whole time out in the water and refused to sit down. She did not stop that day, but we had a blast. We love spending time with the D family and wish Paul the best for his 30th year. The only corker for the day was that when K and I left, we hiked out, had to hop a fence with the stroller and all our stuff only to find that he and Paul had parked in a no parking zone and we had a parking ticket. The funnier thing was that the no parking sign was no more than 10 feet directly in front of the car. I should have documented the situation. So much for parking outside of the resort to save a few dollars. Here are some pictures from our fun day.

Tomatoes!

Addy has gotten to spend many days with just daddy alone since I have gone back to work. Daddy has gotten the true experience of Addy's continuous energy and personality. The other afternoon I came home and out of the gate, Addison and K come walking out. Addison's shirt is off and she is devouring a tomato just like if was an apple. I couldn't believe it. Tomato juice everywhere, but she was loving it. Addy loves our homegrown tomatoes and if is very challenging to keep them on the vine, because she will pick even the green ones. Oh well, she's a kid and you gotta love tomatoes!
