Bella had a dear friend in class, aiden, sweet as can be. He invited her to the nutcracker tea this morning (along with his mom and brother). She was so excited to put on her pretty clothes, asked me to flat iron her hair...and was anxiously awaiting his arrival HOURS before the event!!!
SO DANG CUTE!!!

Cute!!!

                                                    Is this kid freakin CUTE or what?!?!

Christmas Sing

Caleigh had her Christmas Sing program. Sooooo dang cute!  Of course I am partial, but she is the cutest little preschooler EVER!!! 

Santa

Kids went to see santa. No fear,no tears. Caleigh told Santa she wanted a signing Belle doll. Bella shared that she wanted an American girl doll (first I heard of this...grrrrreat) Shaney was happy as can be.

6!

How can my Bella be 6?!? Where did the time go? I remember so vividly having her... Being in the hospital, being so enamored and amazed that Bijan and I had created this perfect being.

Oh my Bella... She is full of sass, fashion, precision...thoughtfulness, sillies, a big heart, a gentle soul. God truly blessed us. Words can not begin to explain just how deeply I love that child.

 

 

Pub crawl

Nothing like a good ole pub crawl thru PB with the crew. Super fun. Love my friends. Love that we were a good 15-20 years older than everyone else, but we all didnt seem to notice or care! :)


Cheers!!

Way beyond

So Way Beyond in utc malls gets 2 thumbs up from the Bijan girls. Great, clean, open space for kids to climb, jump, run, exercise. They LOVE it.











Might I add that Caleigh used the facilities on her own... Didn't pull down those pants far enough- resulting in a wet mess. As I only carry extra clothes for Shane, I gave her his pants to wear. So ya, those blue capris she is wearing are shane's pants! :)

Hot Lava!

Bella finished her first season of soccer.  She played thru the Del Mar/Carmel Valley Sharks association. Players can play once they are in kindergarten. Bella had a blast!!  The first few practices she was a bit shy, as she didn't know any of her teammates, but over time, the girls all bonded and she realized many of them go to her school...she had a really great time. The coaches were awesome...kept in light and fun.  Her favorite part was the uniform (of course) and she just recieved her first trophy. Go team HOT LAVA!  :)

Feeding Time

I can't believe my "little guy" is nearly 6 months old!!!  Started him on rice cereal at about 4 1/2 months and have now moved on to baby food. Of course, he likes it.  He is one "healthy" boy!  :)  Bella and Caleigh have enjoyed being part of feeding time too. :)

Lost tooth

Oh my goodness, bella lost her first tooth today!!!!! She had a blanket in her mouth, and caleigh was pulling on the other side and pop... Out came her tooth! She was little freaked out at first. But now is so excited! Oh... An did I mention that her tooth was not wiggly, at all... Before it came out.

Just love how excited the girls get to play with their Nana. They scream and run to the door when she arrives. They both just adore her, and of course Shaney too.

Love my lil munchkin!

Halloween

Headed over to the Boyds house for trick or treating, football and tasty margaritas!! I just love Halloween... The excitement of the kids putting on their costumes, and the pure joy and rush the kids get from getting candy. Love how caleigh was equally excited on house #1 or 9... She seemed so happy and surprised to get candy each time. And Bella seemed like such a big girl... Dashing from house to house. It's been a fun tradition... Past three years of being with great friends.

May I mention that 8am school start time is torture the day after Halloween!!!

Not scared

Every night caleigh comes downstairs, after being tucked in and tells us, " I'm scared". And every night we tell her that mommy and daddy are here, we are protecting her, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Well tonight, she popped out of bed, like usual, but this time said, " I'm not even afraid! God is watching. God is with me all the time!"

AMEN!!

Took the kiddos the pumpkin patch last night. Of course they had a blast on the rides and seeing all the halloween decorations. Just love this time if year!
