Grandparents visit

December and then some.

We are finally settling to our new life, new house.

Here are a few shots from our assorted november/december adventures!

Happy Halloween

Disneyland and back again.

The theme of this post is....

The day Ramona and Sam went to Disneyland.

I wish these pictures could truly capture how AWESOME our trip was.
I should mention. That Sam loved Peter Pan's Flight but after that pretty much slept through the day.
He very much enjoyed the pool at the hotel, where we did NOT take pictures.

Dear Sam.

Dear Sam,
Tomorrow you will be ONE.
You love trucks, you adore plugs and cords, you despise getting dressed.
You always wake up happy, but you never want to fall asleep.
Your pretty blue eyes look at me the same way today as the day I met you.
A serious boy with a silly family.
I am pretty sure you are adapting.
LOVE MOM

What have we forgotten?

a lot of change...

We've moved.
We have a new state.
A new house.
A new blog template.
Sam has seven teeth and Ramona is starting pre-school next week.
I am working on house pictures...however here are a few shots of us...on our new adventure.

Sam's moving!

All together now!

We had a great weekend with our friends near Rocky Mountain National Park.

Busy month, i am sticking to the basics.

Kids should have jobs. Sometimes Ramona helps empty the dryer. Sometimes she sweeps but finally I have found a job that is very helpful, albeit a bit messy.

New House, New adventure....

assorted april

Birthdays, bike rides and other. :)
Great month but wicked busy!

and...Happy Birthday Ramona!

Is is possible to have your heart break in a good way? I am so proud of my family this little heart of mine has burst open!
Ramona gives me a hard time! She is bossy. She will only wear pink and purple. She will only wear dresses that are PINK and PURPLE! She won't wear socks or slippers. Her feet are always blue. She always wants to eat "something different"...However.

I love her. At night she tells me "Mama you're my dream, you're my heart". She thanks me when I turn her fisher price records over, she kisses Sam on the head and tells him he is her special baby.

She's three and she knows what she wants and she loves us. She expresses that more in this year than any year past and everyday I am reminded of how lucky I am.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

as for Ramona's face, she had a late night artistic triumph.
