Ruby & I got to enjoy lunch with Noah the other day.  I brought Chick Fil-A.  I started talking to another Mom about her son's very critical & serious peanut allergy only to be told that Chick Fil-A frys all their food in peanut oil... Ugh mortified!  Ha ha

  DJ came to visit!  He flew down to celebrate his 27th birthday!  We went to Disneyland, the beach, made cinnamon rolls, drank lots of soda, listened to Christmas music & laughed a lot.  Noah absolutely loved having DJ here!  We moved Noah's bed into the guest room & he slept next to DJ every night.  The kids would constantly hang out in DJ's room.  I'm so happy he flew down to see us!

Noah learned to climb our car!

We went to the international street fair!  We walked there & probably shouldn't have... it was way too hot.  We spent $10 on delicious lemonade, $10 on Noah's "Hulk" face painting & another $20 on who knows what!  

 Noah was pleased!

Coke's good for toddlers... right!??

Ruby

Our little Ruby is 19 months... how do they grow so fast?  

She is so fun!  She's sassy, sweet & full of personality.  We're enjoying our time together while Noah's at school.  I'm so grateful for this little girl of mine!

 Dancing!

Happy First Birthday Ruby!!!

 -Rubys party invite-

I can't believe my baby is ONE!  The year flew by.  

Ruby is so much fun!  She is always happy, she loves eating & playing with her big brother.  

We had a pajama party for her on Saturday night.  We ate breakfast for dinner & sat by the fire.  It was a cozy night, especially because the snow was fluttering outside.  Ruby got so many cute gifts & really enjoyed her cake!  Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate!

I just love this time of year!  We're definitely Summer people, but we've managed to have some fun moments so far in this cold weather.  We've played in the snow, built big fires in our fireplace, enjoyed delicious hot chocolate, decorated Christmas trees, made yummy Holiday treats including, homemade marshmallows and pumpkin pie. 
Carli and I decided to get crazy and went black Friday shopping... we had a blast.  It was insanely busy but we laughed lots and got some serious bargains!

 

Carli and I decorated 2 Christmas trees at my Grandparents house, we think they turned out awesome!

  This little girl just melts my heart.  She is so happy and fun to be around. 

Lately

We went to a Halloween party and I painted my face...

We've been enjoying the last of the warm weather

This is typical.  Ruby chasing the cat, Noah in his underwear

I got published in The Knot magazine!  I did this hairstyle on a bridesmaid at one of my weddings!

Carli and I made caramel apples... they turned out SO delicious!

Noah's started drawing faces, and they always look like this!
