On the move again

Well my friends... we're moving again.  We're headed back to sunny California!  Dave & I are so sad to leave our family & friends behind, but are looking forward to new adventures in a new place.  We'll be renting out our cute house & arrive in California in early June.  We're not exactly sure where we'll live yet but somewhere southern.  Dave will be working at a family law firm in OC, LA & riverside.  We're excited to enjoy the warm weather all year long, ride bikes at the beach, go on dates at Disneyland & hang out with old friends.  Thanks to everyone who's supported us through our big decision!

FIVE!!!

Happy Birthday Noah!  I can't believe my little man is FIVE!  I'm actually a little sad because I feel like he's growing so fast.  Noah is so much fun to be around.  He is sweet, caring & silly.  He makes us laugh numerous times a day & always keeps things interesting.  He is into transformers, legos & cars.  If Noah was stranded on an island & could only have one item... it's be a Reese's.  He's obsessed & would eat them for breakfast, lunch & dinner if I'd let him!  I feel so lucky Noah is in my life & am so happy he's mine!  I love everything about you Noah!  Happy 5th!

Lately... And a car show

We went to the Autorama car show & Noah was in heaven!  He thought it was SO cool!  I'm still trying to figure out how to work my camera... sorry for the dark pics :)

 

Noah was so excited about the Transformers!

 

Snowman

It snowed! Dave & Noah worked so hard & built this adorable snowman inspired from Here.

My best Valentines yet

 

Dave had the day off work.  He started my day off right with breakfast in bed!

 

Then it got even better because he bought the kids GINORMOUS donuts & they were totally excited!

That evening we had dinner & cookie decorating with our favorite friends!

 

Everybody took the cookie decorating very seriously.  We had our instagram friends judge...  Brittany was the winner :)

Noah

Isn't my mama so pretty!??  (She was serving snow cones at my sisters cheer competition, that's why she's wearing gloves!)

Noah cracks me up!  For some reason lately he feels like he needs to pull a crazy face when I take his pictures, like the one above.  He had pajama day at school on Friday & his teacher asked him a few questions about night & day, here's how he responded:

What do you do just before you go to sleep?

 "I go into Mommy's bed cause some scares me in my bed!"

What is the first thing you do when you wake up?

 "I talk to Mom in her bed"

Favorite breakfast?

" Square thing cereals"

What time do you go to bed?

"When it's dark"

Who sleeps the most in your Family?

"We all sleep in Mommy's big bed! Daddy- Ruby-Mommy and me!"

I absolutely love my little dude.  He's so cute & fun to be around.

 I am so grateful for my children!  They are my world & they each bring me so much happiness!  I feel so lucky they're mine!

I just love this time of year!  We're definitely Summer people, but we've managed to have some fun moments so far in this cold weather.  We've played in the snow, built big fires in our fireplace, enjoyed delicious hot chocolate, decorated Christmas trees, made yummy Holiday treats including, homemade marshmallows and pumpkin pie. 
Carli and I decided to get crazy and went black Friday shopping... we had a blast.  It was insanely busy but we laughed lots and got some serious bargains!

 

Carli and I decorated 2 Christmas trees at my Grandparents house, we think they turned out awesome!

  This little girl just melts my heart.  She is so happy and fun to be around.
