Halloween 2012

We had a wonderful Halloween!  It was Charlotte's first year to trick or treat and she LOVED it!  After every house she would say, "another house!"  Paula and Bob were in town and Kyle came over too.  

Our cute little pumpkin.

Our pretty Minnie Mouse.

 So excited after getting candy at her first house!

Pumpkin Carving 2012

We had our friends over the night before Halloween for chili, fall sangria, ghost cupcakes and pumpkin carving.  We had a great time!

 Easy on the Pepsi (la croix) Fuller.

Random Pictures..

Charlotte loves to get in baby Kate's crib.

Our very first movie night!  We have started watching a movie on Friday nights.  I clean on Fridays so I take the night off from cooking and we pick up dinner (usually Whole Foods).  Then, we snuggle up on the couch with popcorn and candy.  Here we are watching Tangled.

 Baby Kate 5 months.

Sweet Kate 6 months.

Charlotte has started ballet class and she loves it!  I think her favorite part may be getting all dressed up for class!

Charlotte's 2nd Birthday

I can't believe our baby is two!  Time flies when you're having fun!  Charlotte makes us laugh and smile everyday.  She is sweet, funny and smart.  She talks all the time.  Yesterday she just came up to me and said, "pretty mommy!"  She melts my heart.  She also likes to sing and dance.  Charlotte loves all things girly: make up, nail polish, tutus, pink, Strawberry Shortcake, Fancy Nancy and especially princesses.  At her two year check up, she was 34'" (57%) ,  25lbs 4.8oz (32%) and 18.62" head circumference (48%).  For her birthday we got her a little kitchen and she is obsessed with it!  It has been a couple of weeks since we gave it to her and she still says to us randomly, "thank you mommy daddy new kitchen!"  We just love her so much and feel lucky to be her parents!

Here she is on her actual birthday.  She wanted pesto pasta for dinner.  She said she didn't want cake so we had ice cream instead.  Kyle (auntie kiki) joined us for dinner.

Playing with her new kitchen.

A Cinderella birthday party for our little princess.

 After she blew out her candles, she decided to try a little lick of the cake haha.

Some recent pictures of our sweet little two year old.

Drew's 30th Birthday

Drew's actual birthday fell on a Thursday.  When he came home from work Porter, Patricia and his parents were at our house to surprise him.  We went out to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants that night.  We had all of our friends over on Saturday to celebrate.  It was a very fun weekend!  Happy birthday to the best husband and dad in the world! Thirty and never looked better!

Birthday dinner at Tiny's #5

Video of Porter and Patricia surprising Drew..... priceless!

Coronado 2012

We had another great vacation in Coronado.  The weather was perfect and it was so nice to spend time with with family.  Charlotte LOVED the beach!!!  The first day she was a little hesitant about the sand but by the last day, she was rolling around in it.  Kate was too little to really enjoy the sand and water but we all loved holding her and watching her smile.  

Daddy's girl

 Drew and I stayed the night at the Hotel Del Coronado to celebrate his 30th birthday.  My parents took the girls to the bookstore, out to lunch and to the farmers market.  Drew and I enjoyed a lunch on the patio at the Del, drinks by the pool, a little shopping and a nice dinner at the Brigantine.  We had so much fun!!!

 Congrats to the newly engaged couple!  We are so happy and excited for you two!

Catch Up.....

Trying to take a picture of both girls is hard to do;  this is how most turn out haha.

 On the 4th of July we went to a neighborhood parade.  It was very cute!  Later that afternoon we had some friends over for burgers, beers and sparklers.  

 These next two pictures are from playgroup at our house.  The kids had so much fun in the baby pool and enjoyed popsicles and apple juice.

 Our happy and easy going baby Kate at two months.  She is such a good baby!

 Charlotte moved to a big girl bed.  She did so great!  We told her that Snow White, Cinderella, Fancy Nancy and Gigi sleep in big girl beds so she thinks it's pretty cool that she gets to as well.  Here is a picture of her on her first night and the next day when we took her out for ice-cream for doing such a good job.

 Charlotte started Gymboree and she loves it!  In her class they climb, sing, play with a parachute and do bubbles..... what's not to like!?  Here she is on her first day.
