Alyssa's 3yr old photo shoot...

Here are some pics from getting Alyssa's 3yr pics done. She did such a great job! :)



This was really cute...the lady wanted her to stand holding her hand on her hip (the lady said 'with attitude') and she just couldn't understand how she was supposed to do it, so she was just cracking up!

This is the best 'attitude' shot we got! ;)

4 girls today!!!

Today I watched the Diaz girls for Kristina because she went to WI for a couple days. You can just say that Alyssa couldn't have been more happy to have her BFF over ALL day! We played outside in the play house, they all got a turn swinging, they played dress up, watched Cinderella (of course!), and just ran around screaming/laughing. I think all four of them had a great time!!!

They would not take their eyes off of the movie for even a second!

Yes, for some reason I thought I'd try to get a picture of all of them together...silly me! ...not even one of them is looking, but I guess none of them are crying or running out of the picture so that's a small amount of success, right???

The sisters...

It's so hard to get cute pics of the girls together (one's always looking away...or running away) so I just thought I'd post a couple that I recently took that turned out 1/2 way decent! ;)

My sleeping 'baby'...

Playgroup today...

Today for playgroup we went to a park and it was so much fun! The weather was beautiful, the kids had fun, and no one got hurt...Praise God for a wonderful day!!! :)

"FOOTBALL" & The Cards!!!

Yesterday was a very special day for me...yes Cardinals won and are 4-2, which is just AMAZING, but ..............

Emily said "Football!!!" Very special day indeeed! ;) ...she even 'kinda' did the touchdown sign with me!

That's my girl! :)

Day 7 ...heading home

Our last day was uneventful...but PRAISE GOD for that! We were able to have a nice breakfast w/Nate before we started our drive home. The drive home was an amazing answer to prayer...thank you again to all of you who were praying for us. It went by quickly, both girls slept for a little bit, and I stayed awake! ;)

It was a great trip, but it's also really good to be back home...and have the girls in their own separate rooms! ;)

Day 6 in LA

Monday we were able to go spend the day with the Angstead family. We first went to a pumpkin patch that was really cute! The kids got to bounce, run through lots of pumpkins, go through a hay maze, take a train ride, and go on a hay ride...all the kids had so much fun! I think Alyssa really enjoyed being around some other kids!!! :) Afterwards we headed back to their condos, put the kids down for their naps, and sat outside playing cards while watching the ocean! It doesn't get much better than that. :) After they woke up from their naps we took a walk along the beach to a playground and let the kids run around. It was a very fun day.
