Chloe's Carousel

Chloe's Carousel=little girls paradise.  Hair done, nails polished, fashion show, walk down the red carpet, parade, special cake room.  Tutus, glitter and fairy wings.  Need I say more?!

Pumkin Patch #1.

First trip to the pumpkin patch this season. The first of MANY I am sure. Pumpkins patches have come a long way...geesh.  This one had rides, a petting zoo and jumpers. The girls celebrated Caden's bday at this pumpkin patch.  It was probably about 85 degrees.  Feels wierd getting pumpkins when its so dang hot!

Locked in

So Caleigh locked herself in the bathroom. I mean, REALLY locked herself in.  I literally could NOT unlock the door. I messed up the hole-by putting all kinds of random stuff in there to open it.. Had to break down and call Bijan to COME HOME.  Seriously!?  Geesh, after about an hour in there, we got her out. 

Needless to say, the girls are NOT allowed to lock the bathroom doors.

Disneyland!!!!

Went to Disneyland with the Lurias to celebrate Caleigh, Adam and Ben's bday.  Nana came too.  This was Adam and Benny's first time there.  It was fun not only to see Disneyland through the kids eyes, but also through the eyes of Nana. 

Highlights were Small World, Dumbo, Autopia.  Surprisingly, the Jedi Training show was a hit-Bella insisted on getting a light saber as her souvenier for the day. Oh, and Tarzan's treehouse was a hit.  Bella braved it this year on Pirates of the Carribean while Cal and I sat out. 

The kids were champs and powered thru-from 10 til 8:30, in the 90 degree weather with crowds of people. 

True Friends

I've realized its hard to make "true" friends...the ones you can really count on, rely on, share a laugh or cry with, confide in.  Especially as you get older, and I think, as a woman...its hard... ya know...to meet, to get to know one another, to get past that initial "awkward" getting to know you phase...

I feel so totally blessed to have this group of smart, dynamic, beautiful, fun, personable, caring, incredible women in my life.  They each continue to touch my heart every day.  Its crazy to think we've all known each other now for like 14 years...we've experienced the party days, the working days, the dating days, married days and parenting days. 

This weekend we shared a birthday, a "special" birthday for a very very very special girl, Mia. 

I treasure these girls, I treasure their friendship.

Love you girls!! xoxo

A very special day...

Not only is September 4th a very special day for Caleigh, but it is special day for her twin cousins Adam and Benjamin, for it is their birthday too.  Very cool that Jenni and I had our beautiful babies enter the world on the exact same day. Very special indeed..

We celebrated with the Luria's and Nana and went to Farrell's and Build a Bear.  Went swimming with Pops and the crew too...

Love sharing new memories with the fam...

my baby's THREE! 3!!!

So my lil baby Caleigh is THREE.  Really...THREE years have gone by ALREADY!?  Crazy.  Words can not begin to express how much I love love love my lil Calibear. That little smile of hers, just lights up a room.  The way she blinks her eyes really fast when she eats her veggies, cuz her eyes are "sparkling"...just melts my heart. I can tell she is happy when she just busts out singing...dancing around...in her own little world, like no one is watching.  She loooves her movies.  She loves putting on shows, and playing dress up. She looooves her chocolate chip bagels.  She looooves her big sister Bella.  When we are at the park, and she sees a child she doesn't know...she asks, "Whats your name?  I'm Caleigh"...totally on her own---

 Just the other day she said to me, "Mommy, my heart is your heart.". 
Yes it is Caleigh...I couldn't have said it better myself...
