Carleigh

Baby Carleigh came to visit us this weekend. Ok, so she brought along her Mom and Dad too... Someone had to drive! Carleigh is a cutie and a very happy baby.

Cute Pictures

Here are some cute pictures taken this month that I thought I would share. Below is Connor (left) and Ryan (right). The picture was taken when they were playing with their train table.
Below is Ryan with his bear-bear.

Christmas

We had a great Christmas and Connor and Ryan got spoiled by all the great gifts. We took a week off of work and split the week between both Grandparents.

Santa brought Connor and Ryan a race track. Uncle Chris enjoyed playing with it too! When we left to head back home and the race track went back in the box and in the car, Connor and Ryan cried because they were having too much fun with the cars and didn't want their toys to go away. They insisted that Daddy set it up as soon as we got home.

Below, Connor is giving Eli a kiss.

When we got home, there were more presents...

After Christmas we got to see Ed's family and Connor, Ryan and Cody had fun playing together. Below is a picture of Tyler, Cody, Ryan and Connor. It is hard to get all four boys sitting still long enough for a picture together!

Christmas Coookies

Connor and Ryan had fun making Christmas cookies this year. There weren't big fans of eating the cookies, but they liked to help make them. It is hard to believe that they are such picky eaters that they won't even eat cookies that they make!

Christmas Tree

We went to a tree farm in Half Moon Bay this year to search for that perfect Christmas tree. And here it is with Connor and Ryan standing in front of it before we cut it down.
Ed cut down the tree with LOTS of help from Connor and Ryan.
They had just about as much fun decorating the tree as it was to pick it out!
And here it is all decorated with the stockings hung over the fireplace.

Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving at our house and Grandma, Grandpa, Great Gramma, Tom, Cara, Cody, and Tyler came to celebrate with us. Below is a picture of Connor and Ryan reading to Tyler.
Below is a picture of Great Gramma reading to Ryan, Cody, and Connor.

Dani, Cody, and the beach

In November, over Veteran's Day weekend, we went down to Arroyo Grande for Tania's baby shower. While there, Len, Mary, Dani, and Cody were visiting on their way back from their cruise. Below is a picture of Cody, Danielle, Connor and Ryan at the beach. The tide was too high, so they couldn't go down to play in the sand.
Great-Grandma had her hands full with all the kids!

Halloween!

For Halloween, my office had a Halloween party, including a costume contest and a team pumpkin carving contest. Below is a picture of me in my Raggedy Ann costume. I didn't win the costume contest, but my team did win the pumpkin carving contest.
Connor and Ryan dressed up as dragons to go trick-or-treating. It was a chilly night. After getting treats at the first house, Connor said "another one." He had fun at the first house, so he wanted to do more! We walked around the block and hit a couple houses. Before we got in the house, they went through all their candy and chose a juice box that they had to have TONIGHT. With choices like chocolate and sugar, my kids want juice :)

Clowns!

Happy Halloween! We went to two Halloween parties last weekend. On Saturday, Connor and Ryan dressed up as clowns, complete with makeup.


They thought they looked funny, so they laughed at each other.

At the party, there were soccor relays. Connor and Ryan enjoyed kicking the soccor balls around.

Another Pumpkin Patch

We went to another pumpkin patch today. This time we went Uesugi Farm in Morgan Hill. It was a warm, sunny day. Hard to believe it was cold and raining just a couple days ago.

The flowers were so pretty, Connor had to stop to smell them.

My little pumpkin kings...
