it's that time again

Time for holiday cheer and wrapping presents. I just didn't know how much longer it would take when you have a wonderful little 2 yr old elf helping you. ;)

Thanksgiving 2010

We had the best time in Lompoc for Thanksgiving. It was crazy busy, but so fun. The boys went golfing 3 times, while the girls went Christmas shopping. The kids played and played and played, and we ate a ton of delicious food! We had the Cinco Thanksgiving the weekend before and had tons of great food, good times chillin' with Patrick's family and just enjoying the time we all got to spend together (but we were so relaxed that we forgot our camera). We are so thankful for our wonderful families!

Four of the luckiest men alive ~ Dalton, Marshall, my Dad and Patty.
3 days of golf without any complaints from the wives/girlfriends? :)

Like we said up top, we are so thankful for everything we have, friends, a home, food on the table, clothes on our backs, but most of all our incredible families.

Noe's New Trick

After many rounds of jumping on the bed, we decided to teach Noe how to do a somersault. "Hands down. Head down."

Exploring Batiquitos Lagoon

Another Friday adventure exploring with some little buddies. This time it was the Batiquitos Lagoon by our house. The little ones love to look through magnifying glasses at bugs.



Snack time.

Encinitas Fall Festival

Today there was a little break in the rain, so we headed down to the Encinitas Fall Festival. They close down the streets and have tons of vendors & food. It was just nice to get out of the house and get some fresh (chilly) air. Here's Noe-looney striking a pose and walking the tight rope.






(With Daddy the day before)
On Wednesday, Noe and I trekked to Disneyland by ourselves. It was quite interesting. Tantrums, big belly mama who can't go on many rides, and lots of pitstops, but it was still fun. The best part was that they decorated "it's a small world" for Christmas and I went nuts. I had more fun than Noe. Here we are with Goofy and here's Noe pointing out all the decorations.


What happens when ballerinas don't nap. They fall asleep on the kitchen floor. :)

Mackenzee's Birthday

It's our niece Mackenzee's birthday and here's Noe with her "goo goo goggles" singing for Kenz.

Happy Birthday Kenzee! We love you!

Adventures of Noe

Hangin' at the park.

Tasting the cookie dough. It seems to run in the family! ;)
