More Birthday Fun!

Matthew has been one lucky boy for his birthday this year - it's been more like a birthMONTH than a birthDAY! :) We had a family birthday dinner at our house this past Saturday night, and it was lots of fun - we love getting the family together, and Matthew was definitely blessed :) Here are a few pics from the night. . .

And here is a sneak peak at Matthew's new Robots -Hoping to get pics up of the finished product soon!

Our Little Boy is 2!!

Matthew turned 2 on Tuesday November 3rd - we just can't believe how fast the time is going - our little boy is really growing up! We celebrated with a birthday week! Monday was Legoland, Tuesday was the SeaLife Aquarium, Wednesday we went to BJ's for birthday dinner with my family, Thursday we had birthday cake with Josh's family. Lucky little boy :)

His birthday cake :)
Blowing out the candles - such a big boy!

Didn't want to eat his slice of cake - just dug into the regular cake with a fork - frosting is his fave!

Celebrating with Grandma & Grandpa :)

Our Lil' Firefighter :)

This Halloween was a lot of fun :) We had been rehearsing saying "Trick or Treat" with Matthew for days, and he actually said it several times - although more often than that he would just walk up and say "candy"! He enjoyed grabbing a candy and putting it in his basket, and he really enjoyed riding in the wagon down the street (and would get a little upset when it wasn't his turn to ride in it - oh well). Great fun with friends (thanks Turners, it was awesome!) and a great first real Trick or Treating Halloween. Happy Halloween everyone!

Fall Fun!

Fall time is so much fun - the colors (even though we don't get much of anything in the changes of seasons department) - the smells, the tastes, oh the food! And the fun :) Here are some pics of our fall so far - our nephew, Matthew's cousin Kylian, had his first birthday! And then pics at Bates Nut Farm. Last year when we went it was super hot at Bates, so this year I swore, just like my friend Melissa, that we wouldn't go again when it was so hot. That plan went out the window when the day we scheduled to go turned out to be 85+ degrees. Ugh. Oh well, we still had fun and good time with friends :) Enjoy the pics!

Park in Wildomar for Kylian's 1st Bday - lots of fun, but heat in the 100s!!!!

The awesome cupcakes Amanda, Brittany & Simone worked on - so fun!

Season of Change

So just for fun, here is what we are planning to do for our little girl's room (except we'll probably paint a light green or blue on the walls), and then Matthew's room (pic is a little small, they are robots) - so fun!
