I'm back!

I haven't posted in awhile because i thought i didn't have anything blog worthy to share...boy was i wrong! look what i found when i uploaded pictures from my camera...
A trip to San Diego...the kids and I stopped at the beach to take a stroll...




 I was a COMPLETE doofus (spelling?) and decided to take the kids pictures as we rushed out the door for church... they came out OK for Braden just waking up and Riley hateing the camera...but did i think to take them infront of our tree that was about 20ft behind me? NO. dumb dumb dumb...we will be re-doing these infront of the TREE

If you know Riley, then you know she is into anything that she associates with being a princess. Whether it's the color pink, long hair, a dress that "spins", or a dress that touches the ground when you walk. Well we can add curly hair the list, she will sit patiently and let me curl her hair into ringlets, so fun!

 I watched the meteor shower that we won't be blessed with again until 2014 from atop josh's truck
And today, i let the kids play in the never ending rain. There was nothing left to do but play in the rain that has decided it's here to stay.
 
 Braden took it like a man...he was in his sister's rain jacket and rain boots (pink soles with polka dots)
 Not to mention the boots are a few sizes too big and he kept falling...he made the most of those falls and splashed in the puddles with his hands until i helped him up.


 I tried desparetly to get a picture of riley in the air facing me...wasn't meant to be i guess!

 Riley found a "nice snake" and she even held it...that's my girl!
Hope you are all enjoying the rain the best you can.  Santa is coming soon!
Our family wishes you a very merry Christmas. We hope you are blessed with loads of family time and safe travels.

  2. How cute is Riley's hair! Ugh! Hailey won't let me touch hers for anything anymore! I have to bribe her with stuff. Hoe funny is it that since Hailey was born I have to force her to wear bows and to let me do her hair and Riley just let's you do it freely? Lol. Wanna trade kids!? ;) And I can't believe how big Braden is! He just makes me want to give him smooches until he crys for me to stop! So cute! And your about the fifth person who has let their kid play in the rain! SCRRRREEEEEEWWWWWW THAT! I HATE the rain! Ain't no way your getting me out there! Hailey can go and I'll just watch her from the window! Cup of hot chocolate in hand and all! Lol!
