Halloween 2009

Our Halloween started by going to a party & parade at Natalie's school. It is always fun to see Natalie interacting with all of her school friends. Friday night we had a family Halloween party to attend so I dressed up as Dorothy. Let me tell you how hard it was to find an adult women's costume that was appropriate to wear! I had only 2 options so I went with Dorothy since my hair would work best with that costume. Natalie picked out her Sleeping Beauty costume & my friend Christine let me borrow Addison's old Tinkerbell costume. Since it was cool out on Friday night I put Alexis in Natalie's old lamb costume. Both the girls looked adorable in all their costumes! Then on Halloween we went trick or treating with our friends the Edwards. Kyan was a monkey so I took him up to some of the doors as my flying monkey from The Wizard of Oz.

We had a fun Halloween & enjoy the pictures..

California Trip

We wanted to see Disneyland decorated for Halloween so we took the girls to Cali in the middle of Oct. We then found out that the Dodgers were in the playoffs & there was a home game the Friday we were going to be in Cali. Since we have never been to a playoff game & I have never been to Dodger stadium we got tickets to the game. It was an awesome experience & it was the only game the Dodgers won against the Phillies during the playoffs so it was fun to be there. It was cool to see my Aunt Mary, Uncle Louis & cousin Tara at the game because they are HUGE Dodger fans!

On Saturday & Sunday we spent all day at Disneyland. Alexis was a lot more into Disney than I thought she would be at this age. She enjoyed going on the rides & I could tell she understood what was going on because she was laughing & pointing at stuff. She also wasn't scared of the characters! Natalie of course couldn't have been happier. The last time we went she got into pin trading so she had a great time doing that again. She even got Bryan into it too! On Saturday we mostly tried to do rides & on Sunday we went looking for characters. We loved all the Halloween decorations & the Halloween fireworks show is probably the best we have EVER seen! Cant really say enough about Disney because always have a great time.

Enjoy all the pictures..

Pumpkin Patch

My friend Amy and I took our kids for our yearly trip to the pumpkin patch. We went to the same farm as last year & the kids had a great time. It really makes me want to build a pit of corn in our backyard because again it was their favorite part! Every time we have an event like this I realize how hard it is to get good pics of my girls together. Oh well at least they are in the pictures together so we know they were both there :-)

Alexis gets her 1st haircut

On Oct 4th Aunt Jeannie gave Alexis her 1st haircut! At first Alexis did really well. No crying, just sat there. I don't know if she suddenly realized what was going on, but then she didn't want anything to do with it! She looked really cute once it was over, but we didnt get any pics of the end result!

Trip To New York

For our 30th birthdays, my Dad surprised us with a trip to New York. We were able to see almost all of my family that lives there, went to a Yankees game, went to Times Square, played on the beach, & spent time with my Dad. The girls were both so good on the flights & we had a great trip.
