Anaphalactic Alec

Poor little Alec seems to be alergic to several medications, and this time it ended us up in the ER. Epi pen here we come! Think I can pull it off if I need to?? Of course I can. I'm a MOM!

It's a girl!!!

We are having another Girl! How exciting that I can pull out all the things that Ella wore once and give them one more go at life. I was just looking at my friend Kate and Dan Moss's Photography site and thinking I might need to fly the wee little thing to Utah to get her little newness all shown off by Kate. Check her out here at Peekaboo Photography.

HMD!!

Update-party!

Steve and Emma got hitched!!

We took pictures with millions of blossoms on the blossom trail with our friends the Westwood family.

Our Heninger Halloween!

We moved closer to the Rich and Laurie and the kids and just look how much fun we are having!! A candy-bar smores cookout with the long lost Brandley cousins, Damon , Stephanie & kids and Melissa. We had so much fun seeing you all! Can't wait for the next family function!

Sweet LIttle Apple Pie

Reese's birthday party pics to come. Margaux did a fantastic job of the good-old apple pie, watermelon, hotdogs, cupcakes and gigantic red and yellow balloons, all-american party. Happy Birthday Reese.

Catch Up.....I mean serious tag here people!

Grammy helped us Pack. Seriously.......the woman moves like lightning. I know, you're all jealous.....so am I. Thanks Grammy. We love you.











Alec's first soccer game. He rocked the warm-up crew with his sweet moves but come game time.....he lost his steam and kept asking to just go play at the park. Brady finally told him that if he scored a goal, we'd head to the swings. So, slouched over, he sauntered back onto the field, ran over and stole the ball, dribbled to the other end of the field, scored a goal and then immediately hung his head to the side again and walked off the field leaving his team-mates to finish the game solo. Seriously, can you believe this guy?? What a character!








The Crews: Willardsons, Kropfs, Clarks, Ingersols & Armstrongs
I'm pretty sure they are all moving this way soon!!! Come on you guys....please?











Pre-School Year-2
Alec at his new pre-school. This new place has come with it's own set of challenges. It's about 20 minutes away which has meant extra barf bags for poor Ella. Her new best friend is Dramamine!! Pray for Ella. Actually pray for me and Alec. We thank you.







Hangin With the Heningers!
We had a blast up north with our cousins Hannah, Jakie, Jonah, Becca, Uncle Richie and Laurie. Thank you so much for letting us crash. We had so much fun yuckin it up!! This is the only picture I snapped. Apparantly too busy having fun.

Fam Pics....take me home!

We had so much fun hanging in the O.C. with the fam. We kicked it at the temple after church and snagged some pics of Jamie's fam. They were so cute. And mom got her way with a fam pic at the wooden door park. I love that spot. The light is always so beautiful there. I wish it was my backyard....oh wait...it is.

Shirley Grad Party!

Our friend Shirley threw a graduation party for her daughter Joslynn. She was so much fun to work with and Margaux and I had a blast planning this green and brown theme party with oreo truffles, chocolate cupcakes, and other envious green sweets.

Ella's Ruffles & Dots Party

We had so much fun with a bunch of our friends who had little girls in Ella's nursery class. Sidney S., Audrey, Reese, Sidney I., Anna and their siblings came to the secret gate park to have a Big Bash! Each girl got a hand-made apron to help decorate their very own cupcake. We ate cheesey Pizza (ella's fav) and had delicious and beautiful fruit (THANKS Kari!) Also thanks to Margaux and Brady for being my wing men. It turned out so pink and lovely!
