Their ultimate favorite...

Pumpkin Patch and pre-Halloween fun!

Nanny B came down to visit us for a few days over Halloween which was so special as she got to do all of our fun pre-Halloween activities with us, going to the pumpkin patch and doing fun games at home. Aesa and Noah came over one day and Taylor and Aesa just had soooo much fun together!!!

Pumpkin Patch- this year our favorite patch around the South Bay area was closed so we found another one owned by teh same people. It was pretty cool, but oh so crowded! Taylor LOVED the jump house and the pony rides. She is growing up and becoming so mature. She makes friends so easily and is being more confident to just start playing with other kids she sees. I love watching her grow!









Nanny then planned some fun Halloween games at home that we never actually got to play as a family but she got to play a little bit with Nanny and they looked so fun!



Halloween playdate with Aesa...

Weekend with Sydney!

We had been planning this weekend for a while and were so excited for it to finally come! Alvin, Shelley and Sydney came to stay with us for three days. We relaxed most of the time, having fun adult time at night, and making our normal trip to the beach.

The first night when they arrived a little past 10:00 PM, Taylor had just gone to bed so we let Sydney go into her room to say hi and 3 hours later (yes, 1:00 am) they were still wide awake playing in Taylor's room! They were so excited to see each other they would not lay down to go to sleep. Yay cousins!!!

On Saturday we had a fun morning at Good Stuff with yummy food then a relaxing playdate at the beach.







Aunt Kiki came up to our house while Taylor and I were off at a her friend's birthday party. Aunt Kiki had fun Halloween gifts for both the girls...such a special treat!! We all had a fun night on Saturday night when Aunt Kiki came up to visit; we played liar's dice and had some yummy adult drinks. IN order for the girls to get some sleep, Taylor slept in our bed while Sydeny slept in Taylor's room. Whew! My most favorite memory that night will always be Aunt Kiki and Aunt Shelley dancing, with it all on video.

Love you guys!

Halloween cakes

Taylor and I wanted to get into the Halloween spirit so we picked some cake tins out of our Halloween boxes and found som epink cake mix (her choice).

They turned out great!



We needed some frosting so asked daddy to pick some up on his way home...this is what he got. Haha! True girly Halloween cakes.

Puzzle making!

Taylor has loved puzzles since she was little so we bumped her up to a 300 piece puzzle! She definitely has both the Wickett and DuCharme puzzle-making genes!
