SAN JUAN MISSION
So I have decided to do some completely new Photo Walls in my house. I am going to 1 of just the girls and Adam and I, and then 1 of friends and family! So I needed some help, my girlfriend Mary is taking a full load of photography classes at Saddleback, so I enlisted her help and she is now going to be my personal Family photographer! She got some awesome pics and today was just the first a few trips for my wall. We started out at the San Juan Mission, if you have never been, which I had not. The architecture is amazing and there are some beautiful backdrops there. I just got a few in the background of her taking all the pics of me and the girls. She used a few different cameras and got color and blk/white. Kenzie and her friends Sam and Scarlett(Mary's twins)

Just one of the many beautiful buildings!!

One of my Fav's(I love baby feet)

On our way to go get chocolate shakes when the day was over!

Mckenzie was so fabulous today, she took 100 pics and did any pose we wanted her to do, she was my true little model, and she loved every moment of it! It was so adorable!!

So I didn't get the good ones but she got some really great ones and I can't wait to get them back!Our next outing is going to be to the beach and then to the park with the girls wearing Tutu's!

Also it is almost x-mas card time, and this year I will get a fantastic one, mark my words!!

First day of Pre-school......

I can't believe the day has come, my little monkey started Pre-school today. She was so excited, that's all we have talked about all summer. I had put Kenz in summer camp this year the same days an times that she was going to be going to school to kind of get her adjusted to being away from me for hours, and I an so glad that I did because I think it made all the difference. She gave us a hug and a kiss and she was off and never looked back. Adam kept trying to peek in and and see her, so that was really cute and sweet. My baby is getting bigger and in a couple more years Laura and I will sending off the next batch of Pre-schooler's. Haylee and Jack will go to school at the same time in a measly 2 more years...OMG!!!

What does the future hold....

So with all the Olympics we have been watching the last few weeks, Haylee has been trying to decide what she wants to do with her life, I mean she's already 1!!

Maybe she will be a pilot and fly an airplane....

Maybe she take care of hurt and helpless animals......

Maybe she will be a race car driver, or a stunt driver....

Maybe she will be a swimsuit model......

but in the end, we decided that she was gonna be a gold medalist in the 2020 Olympics!!!

Arts-N-Crafts

So yesterday we had our babysitter come over(ALI) to watch the girls. O.K. so I signed Adam and I up to go and listen to one of those timeshare presentations, in hopes of winning 100K!! I mean If we would have won 90 min. would have been worth it. I entered one of those drawings at the mall a few months back and so they called, and told me I was guaranteed 1 of 5 prizes! 100K, a new car, a cruise to Mexico, a trip to Hawaii with airfare or a trip to Vegas w/ airfare. So Adam was tortured the whole time, but we won a trip for 2 to Vegas for 2 nights and also a bonus gift of a trip to somewhere w/ just accommodations...we have a few choices but I think we are gonna do Big Bear in a few months so we can take the girls to the snow this year! I think it was worth every minute....2 vacays!

Anyways while Miss Ali was here her and Kenzie did some projects and they turned out very beautiful.....here are some pics

1st Birthday Party!!!

So we had Haylee's birthday party yesterday, and it was great. I think everyone had a good day and Haylee got some great stuff! It's still hard for me to believe that my baby is one, but I guess that's what happens, they grow...they get older, look at Kenzie she's gonna be 4 this year and starting pre-school in a few weeks. Time flies when your an adult and your not waiting for Santa to slide down your chimney!:)

So to all the baker's out there, you will know what I am talking about. I was going to make haylee ice cream cone cupcakes. So you make the batter as usual and pour it into the ice cream cones and bake. East right. My mom use to make them for us when we were kids. Well I'm not really sure what happened cause they didn't quite turn out the way I had planned. But it's not me cause I did make a mini cake out of the same stuff...let's just clarify NOT MY FAULT!!

I can Hear you laughing!!

Oh well, better luck next time!

Happy Birthday Haylee....the big 1

Today is a happy day, Haylee is turning 1. We are having a birthday party for her and having all of our family over. We can't believe it's already been a year, this year has been so crazy that it just flew right past us! I will blog more tomorrow after the party when I have more pics. We wish that all of our family who doesn't live here, could be here to celebrate with us also, but we are always thinking about you!!

OMG, I looked so haggard, but we were so happy!

Hayls at bath time, she is a sponge, she loves the water!

Weekend Happenings.....
So this weekend we have been able to find some time to spend all together!

Saturday- I opened the bar, which meant I was off by 4 and got to come home and hang with the fam. Our friend Heather and Dan came over to bbq and see the girls. They love our girls and that is why is she Auntie Heather. Haylee is completely walking now and pretty much running....she is my CRAZY child. All she wants to do is climb all over everything and up on top of everything, she doesn't think she has to always take naps, and will growl at you if you take something away from her. She has such a great little personality, and now that she is mobile she is the happiest baby ever, you would never guess that she was a hard baby!



Sunday- Auntie Heather decided to take Kenzie out for a Big Girls day, the are going to see Space Chimps, go have lunch and Heather decided to tell her that she would take her to TOYS R US....can you say Spoiling Much. But I guess that's what you do when their not your own kids! They love their Auntie Heather! So that means that Adam and I have a little peace in our house today, only 1 monster instead of 2, and Haylee doesn't require constant pony or princess play....so we consider that a break all in itself.

Tomorrow I think I am going to take the girls to the Spectrum to walk around and have lunch, and I think Laura and mom are going to come with us, so that will be nice day out of the house, I usually let Kenzie play in the water fountain and ride the carousel so she loves it.Haylee got to eat J-E-L-L-O....What a mess

Yeah, she thought it was hilarious

Needed to get cleaned up....they love bath time

Kenzie likes when I put stuff to make the water different colors! Today Blue
