Halloween Night

Ella was so excited this year for Halloween, she was in her costume ALL day today:) We had fun trick or treating around our little neighborhood and Ella loved it...Ani had fun to.

Disney Land for my birthday!

I had a wonderful birthday this year! It seemed to last all week. On my actual birthday we did go to D-Land and had some fun!!!

Bate's Nut Farm

When I was a kid we had a tradition of going to Bate's every year. I loved it now and still love it as I get to watch my kids enjoy feeding the animals and picking out a pumpkin.

First Annual Family Vacation

When we first got there, and Ella was so excited to be camping.
They were showing me where Daddy was (out surfing)
She wrote her name (and Ani's) all by herself.

Ella having fun with her friend SavannahElla celebrated her 4th birthday while we were there.

Ella got her "Taylor Swift guitar" and starting singing right away!
We decided to try camping at the beach as our family vacation this year. I used to do it every year when I was a kid and loved it!!! We thought it would be fun to start with our family. The girls did really good besides the fact that the neighbors next door would wake up before dawn and wake up Anika:)...oh well

First day of Little Bugs Preschool!!!

Ella is so excited to be back in preschool. She loves Miss Paula and playing with all her friends.

Summer Fun!

We went down to Mission Bay to visit with some of the Reeves Family...Thanks to Benny we got some really cute shots

Anika is 1!!!

I cannot believe that our little Ani girl is one years old. Time did fly by and man is she getting more and more fun. She has a great personality. Although she just squeals, grunts or screams, she loves her big sister Ella especially when Ella chases her. She is very adventurous and is not afraid to take a few falls. She is very sweet and loves to give kisses and wave bye-bye. I forgot to mention that Ella was so excited for it to be Anika's birthday because she helped her open all her presents and blow out her candles.

This is why I love California!

Doesn't Ella look so old laying out like that!




So, we went down to the beach on Saturday, and the weather was beautiful. The girls sat and played on the grass with their buddy McKay. We love where we live!

Ella's First dance class

Ella and her best buddy, May just started their first pre-ballet/tap class. They are growing up so fast. They were soo cute together and loved it! Ella, of course, followed and did exactly what her teacher said and wanted to be doing every move just right. She takes after her mom!

The San Diego Zoo!

This last week we went with some friends to the San Diego Zoo. The girls did great, and Ella especially love it because she got to be with her "boyfriends" Brandon and Hunter:)

Bath time!

Ani loves her baths...
