Chloes 2nd BIRTHDAY!!!
We had a birthday party at our house for Chloe's birthday!!!!! We had a Shamu bounce house and I made Chili and hot dogs (I asked Chloe what she wanted at her party and she said "food" I asked her what kind and she said "hot gogs", I came up with the chili for the adults) Chloe loves Shamu and we went to Seaworld a few days before, she was thrilled with the Shamu whales at the top of her bounce house!
Chloe got embarassed while everyone was singing to her and she started smushing her face all around!
One of Abe friends said " Are you guys really going to serve a bunch of kids chili and then put them in a bounce house? Are you crazy?" hahaha...I didn't think about it like that!
Noelle and Chloe like to dress up and this is how they came out the other day! SO CUTE!

extended versionROAD TRIP!!!
Abe always looks at my blog and tells me to write more...so I am adding some stories in this color.
This was the most awesome trip! The California Coast is so beautiful. We took six days and drove up to San Francisco. The driving was one of the best part, once all our electronic devices ran out of batteries! Abe and I got to listen to our girls talk in their sleep!!!!! Noelle said "Lizards, and Mommy has frogs all over" and Chloe fell asleep while meowing like a cat, she would randomly let out a very drowsy slurred string of meows!! I tried to get it on video but to no avail. We did a lot of driving but these are the adventures we had along the way:
SAND DUNES!
Abe and I wore ourselves out trying to get pictures of each other flying through the air. Abe's jumps were very impressive. Me on the other hand, I would run full force to the edge, skid to a stop, flail my arms in the air and scream dramatically to disquise the fact that I only got 2 inches off the ground ( you try running off the edge of a cliff) ...the pictures are pretty amusing-hence why they are NOT shown here! The girls were sliding all over the place and left the dunes looking like sugar donuts.
MORRO BAY!!
ELEPHANT SEALS!!
it was sooooo cold, Noelle cried the whole time but when we got home I asked her what her favorite thing was and she said the elephant seals!
BEAUTIFUL PLACES!!!
BEAUTIFUL PLACES!!!
REDWOODS!!!!
Noelle and Chloe spent the whole hike looking for elves. Noelle only let us all whisper the entire time( 45minutes) because she did not want to scare them away. We found where they ate, and slept, their little hats and even heard some giggles~
FAIRYLAND!!!
This place is about 60 years old and it looks it!! all the paint was coming off all the rides and the story boxes voices where waining~ The girls did not notice a bit, it was a great place to let your imagination run wild!
NOELLES FIRST HAIRCUT..AND WE STRAITENED CHLOES HAIR!!!
FUN WITH AVERY!!!!
and that concludes my longest post ever....it was a busy week!

BOO!!!!
We went trick or treating 3 times this year...a bit much i know....tell that to the enormous mound of candy in my freezer. I decided to freeze the candy so it would be harder to eat large quantities. After trick or treating we left Noelle alone with her candy stash, it was an accident, Abe and I were preocupied working on the kitchen. I went into the living room and with a slightly frantic giggle she said "mommy I just cant stop eating candy!" I looked down to see a large pile of wrappers, needless to say we had quite a time trying to get her to sleep that night. Chloe picked up on the whole trick or treating thing like a pro. She ate her fair share of candy but now she has forgotten all about it doesn' know it is still readily available. Noelle on the other hand askes for a piece every five minutes. I want to throw it all away so it doesn't deter me from my new diet, but
it seems like such a waste. Abe wants it around too, he says it will excercise my will power and getting rid of it is the easy solution.. (I think he just wants it around because he doesnt feel guilty at all night after night of sugar indulgance)
Ballerinas
TRUNK OR TREAT
(trick or treating out of the trunks of cars in the parking lot of our church the night before Halloween)
HALLOWEEN! (we went around our neighborhood with Tori (pocohantas)and Zach (nemo!!) We had a major melt down and since Noelles costume was mainly face paint...with all the tears we had to paint it three times! And when it was finally done for the last time it smeared all over the place! One of her piggytales is lower than the other due to a mighty hair pull by Chloe, I couldn't get her to stand still to fix it so we left it! Chloe would not get her face painted or wear her chick hat so she walked arould like a yellow fuzz ball and no one knew what she was! All in all it was a pretty funny night!! The girls had a blast with their friend once we made it into the cool night air and people started giving them candy!!
I didn't think I was dressed up but looking back at last year I am dressed in the same sweater my mom wore last year!!
we miss GRANDPA!!!!
Abes costume!
