Aren't they handsome?

I am so proud of my boys, little and big! I have so much to be grateful for. I have a loving husband and two of the cutest boys on the planet! They are so good. It is such a joy to be able to be home and spend lots of time with them. I have the best job in the world..... Motherhood!

My first day......

Well, I had my first day on the new job yesterday! Yes, I got a seasonal job working at See's candies and yes I have to wear that uniform. I absolutely love it. It has really great benefits too. I can eat as much as I want of whatever I want while I am there, I can order 4 1/2 lb boxes from the San Francisco kitchen for $10, and I get discounts an everything in the store! Wow, I get all of this just to hand out candy......I'll take it! Oh and they pay really well too! I am just working for a few weeks, just until Santa Claus comes and then I am done. I bet you know what everyone is getting from me for Christmas!

Another Halloween come and gone

We took the kids Trick-or-Treating last night. Finn lasted about 10 minutes then he decided it was time to go back to Grandma's house. Ethan on the other hand loved it! He was a trooper, running house to house in the cold. Trying to get him to say "trick or treat" AFTER people opened their doors was a challenge though. He would say it as soon as we got to the door and rang the doorbell. It was hilarious. We had a lot of fun and can't wait for next year!
Here's the kids excited and ready to go.....

Carving pumpkins at Grandma's house. They all turned out so cute!

I tried carving Thomas for Ethan, can you tell?

Our trip to Monterey!

We took a family vacation to Monterey to visit Matt's family! We had the best time. It was definately a vacation that was well over due! We got to stay a whole week this time, so we were able to do lots of fun things. We went to the forest and played with bugs. Ethan even pooped his pants there. It was really adventureous! We took the kids to the coolest park called "Dennis the Menace" Park. It had a huge train to play on. I think Ethan thought he had died and gone to heaven. We went to the beach, of coarse. It was beautiful and peaceful! We walked the warf and watched the boats and saw lots of seals. Ethan loved playing with Grandpa Tom and Grandma Judy and his cousins Ellie and Sara. We love our family and are very grateful for the time we get to spend with them. Now we hope we can get rich enough to move there :)

Happy Birthday Tara!

My baby sister turns 25 today! I can't believe it! She is such a fun and loving person. I feel so lucky not only to have her as a sister, but as a best friend too! Hope you have a happy day Tara! We love you!
