Kayla's 2nd Birthday!

Kayla Rose had such a good time at her 2nd birthday! She went down for a nap at noon and the party was starting at 2 so we had 2 hours to decorate. When she woke up at 2 the look on her face was priceless. She was soooo excited to see Dora all over the house! There was balloons, figurines and streamers. I was really nervous about the pinata...Kayla & I went to her best friends birthday & Haley was terrified of her pinata and screamed when all the kids were hitting it with the bat. Well Kayla did awesome & was actually upset when we took the bat to give other kids a chance.

She got sooo many awesome gifts and A LOT of Dora stuff. We started yesterday on her Thank You cards that she is making herself with her art set. Needless to say they are very interesting and I think everyone will get a good laugh! Overall the day was such a success & she was EXTREMELY tired at the end of the night. It was nice to have my mom and dad from San Diego come in for the occasion!

Pumpkin Patch...

Like my previous post...I love this time of the year!!

So we took the girls to a Pumpkin Patch in San Diego!

San Diego & Back....

We went to San Diego for an extended weekend! The weather was great & it was awesome to see family! We did not stop the entire time there, we had a wedding, a test, dinners & Monday Night football at a friends. I will post pictures soon, I have been trying for the last hour and no success. Now that we are back home OF COURSE Travis & Kylie are sick!

You never realize how much you love your home & the normal nights at home till you are away & in complete chaos. While in San Diego we had the family bed....both girls with us & I am so sleep deprived that I now need a vacation from the vacation.

One of the best parts of our trip was on Sunday my mom made a wonderful dinner...her homemade carne asada....her secret recipe. After years of begging she taught me how to make it. I am sure that it will take numerous tries, but I am ready & am going to be making it soon! Another really cool thing was while my mom, sister and I cooked on Sunday my dad took Travis flying all over San Diego county in his cesna airplane. Travis took some awesome pictures....

GLAD TO BE HOME......

HALLOWEEN

I absolutely love Halloween...I love the costumes, and I love the weather. Yesterday Travis, the girls and I sat outside and decorated. Kayla is not into the scary things, I took her to Party City...well with all the scary figues hanging and the spooky music...she was ready to leave. So needless to say the ghosts we got to hang up are friendly looking ghosts. After we decorated Kayla was soooooo excited to see the lights and pumpkins after it was dark.

I am not sure what she is going to be for Halloween yet....Kylie is going to be Tinkerbell. There were so many costumes to pick from. So we are going to go next week and see what she likes. NOTHING SCARY! I am actually nervous about Halloween night with all the costumes and people she will see.

We leave Wednesday for San Diego, we have a wedding and Travis has his journeyman test on Friday! He has to take in California because we paid for the test almost 4 years ago but then moved here. It is valid in Arizona as well. So keep him in your prayers this week, it is a four hour test! I am sooooo excited to see my family & friends but NOT excited for the car ride....a 2 year old and 7 month old! I will let you all know how it goes and will post pictures while we are there!

Okay 2nd try to keep up my blog....

Okay lets hope that I can take 5 minutes each day & keep this updated! My mom would love to be able to open my blog each day & be able to see her girls! This has been a very busy & blessed last 6 months. Kylie Beth was born on March 9, 2009. She is now 6 months old....crawling, eating, 6 teeth and very big girl already! Onto Kayla she just had her 2nd birthday! She is such a big girl and takes such good care of Kylie. She wanted to have a Dora the Explorer party. She was beyond excited to walk down stairs after her nap to see all the decorations!

Other then the 2 girls we are doing extremely well. I finally got a job back with my old company & have to drive 2 minutes to work!! Travis takes his journeyman electrical test on October 16th...so keep him in your prayers. He passes that and a lot of doors will open for him! Well this is all for now....Tomorrow I will do a post of Kayla's party & all the fun pictures!!!!
