Happy Birthday To Me!

Turning 34 isn't so bad when your cute sweet husband lines up an all day babysitter for you, spa treatments and a day by the pool with your best friend in the Napa Valley! GO DAN!

Ohh and did i forget to mention he also sent champagne and truffles!!!

Yes please!!!

Onto round 2 poolside- a split of chard...and yes, round 3 did follow as the heat was begging to be paired with a bubbly rose - well, what can we say..... this was a party!

Kathryn enjoying a dip in the salt water pool

and me enjoying a moment of quiet catching up on my celeb gossip!

Dear children,

You know mommy LOVES you to pieces but always remember she needs and loves breaks from your beautiful smiling faces too to stay as energetic, creative and unconditionally loving as she want to be.

love,

mommy

The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown is one of my favorite things about Halloween. I always look forward to seeing it each year as we get into the Halloween spirit.

Here is Kellan with his light up spooky ghost wand

And shots from our trip to the Nacasio Pumpkin Patch

Daddy with the kiddos in the wheelbarrel

Kellan greeting the pigs

Little chicks and various other petting zoo animals

There was also a "bouncy slide" that Kellan LOVED!!!! Daddy was super impressed that this lil guy went all the way in the house, up the stairs and down the slide all on his own while surrounded by tons bigger kids. Too bad we missed this video opp :(

& Makenna in her spooky glow in the dark skeleton pj's

which seem to make her giggle instead of make her scared!

Getting Back Into The Grove

in SF

Naturally off to the ferry building for the farmer's market

Miguel and Kathryn coming over the babysit the kids while Dan and I go out for a belated birthday dinner

Off to fillmore hill and the water to watch the airshow. Kellan was a fan until the Blue Angels buzzed his head.....note - this child does not like sudden load scary noises.

And the big move into their new bedrooms. Kellan is now up front.

And Makenna is in her own room

Flight Of A Lifetime For Papa

A scene from The Hangover or Papa and Kellan loving their ride together on the escalator

And the moving sidewalk in the "light on-a" United terminal

Papa was so patient and sweet with Kellan

and Makenna...We couldn't have done it without him...we are so thankful for the loving chaperone!

Only real hiccup was that Kellan ended up skipping his nap and was up the whole entire flight which not only put Kellan to sleep on the ride home from the airport but mommy, Makenna and Papa too :)

Chicago Wraps Up

With snuggling and watching football with Papa

Kellan's first trip to famous Homer's for ICE CREAM CONE

YUMMY!

And poor poor Makenna came down with the croup. Luckily BB the nurse was on hand to give her a home steam treatment

Followed by a visit the next day to the ped for a shot and breathing treatment. Poor little pea!
