Village Venture....

Today was the annual village venture Halloween parade. The parade is so much fun, and a great opportunity to see a bunch of adorable kiddos all dressed up! Jonathan was Nemo, it was so cute, his tail went back and forth when he walked. Miss Kelsey was Alice in Wonderland. It was a fun time, and tons of arts and crafts.

2 little pumpkins

Chris took the kids to the Pumpkin Patch on Sunday. I had to work (bummer), and my mom, thankfully, took some pics.

It's Jonathans turn for a Canvas.....

Our home is full of pics and a few canvases of Kelsey, so now it is Jonathans' turn! Help me decide which one to choose, leave me a comment on your choice! Thanks.

Presents, what presents???

For Jonathans birthday, he got a ton of presents. Toys, made just for one year olds. but what do you think he plays with?? The balloons from the party.
All day long, up and down the halls, dragging around the balloons. He just laughs, runs around, and laughs again. He is so funny. Then Kelsey will take a balloon, and he chases her. Hillarious!

Happy Birthday to me!!!

So, for my birthday, i decided to buy myself a Coach purse! Girls are so funny, Chris just looks at me funny when i tell him how much i love my new purse. Its my new baby. Hey, life is short. Enjoy it!!! And you know i do.

Oktoberfest!!!!!!

We took a drive up to Lake Arrowhead with my parents yesterday for Oktoberfest. Bratwurst and beer. mmmmmnnnn, yummy. It was a beautiful day, the music was lots of fun, and it was just nice to spend time together.

Jonathan Turns One!!!

He's officially a big boy now! What an awesome year. He has brought so much joy into our lives, i dont know how we ever lived without him.
He had a great birthday, filled with family and friends. Zendejas made fresh tacos for us in the backyard, lots of jumping in the trampoline, and swinging on the swingset. I cannot wait to see what his second year brings.


Jonathan got his very own cake

Swinging and laughing
instead of opening his presents, he wanted to get in them.

I cut off all my hair!!!

I was feeling pretty frumpy with my old hair, so i cut it all off. It was soooo long, and boring. I feel a bit sassy now. I was watching the waiter tonight as i ordered a cocktail. I could tell he wanted to card me, he just chose not to. Im bringin sexy back baby. OK, maybe im exaggerating a tiny bit, but after 2 kids, you gotta do what you gotta do, ya know?? This pic is today at Jonathans first birthday party!! Stay tuned for pics from the party!!!

Just Relaxing.....

So, i let the kids rough house on the bed, and took a few pics. It's amazing what you can get when they dont realize you want them to look relaxed. A bit O reverse psychology.
On a side note, I cut off my hair. Stay tuned for a pic. Approx. 14 inches.....

Whats been going on??

I have not updated everyone on the happenings of the family, so i will give a rough update!!

Kelsey started her new pre-school with Ms. Kim. I had to work on the first day, bummer, so i dont have any pics. She likes it but asks occasionally about her old pre-school.
Jonathan has been walking since 10.5 months and will turn one year this saturday. He is everywhere and chases Kelsey around the house, literally. He has approx. 13 teeth. I say approx. because i cannot pry open his mouth, he bites. That was the last count. He says mama and dada, blows me kisses, gives hi fives and waves bye bye. I love my little boy. I am so blessed to have a prince and a princess!
Chris began his second rotation at an Urgent care. He is really enjoying it. I think he may have found his niche! I am counting down the days to graduation, 300 or so. It is so great to see him enjoying his rotations, he loves medicine. He is starting to think about where he will work, the options are limitless. He just has to decide what and where.
Me, well, working like a dog, with an occasional nurses strike here and there. Always taking pics and planning Jonathans first birthday party. Oh, and doing a partial remodel of the house. So, not much, right??
I am trying to be a better blogger, but i keep relapsing. I think it is time for blogger therapy, dont laugh, it probably exists!

Me and my new baby!!!

For my birthday, my mom got me the lens i have been begging for. I am in love with my new baby. I took a few shots of the kids to try it out!



On a side note, Jonathan turns one on saturday, i cannot believe how time flies!!
