Time: 5:18 p.m.
Weight: 7 lbs. 12 ounces

KAITLYN TURNS 5!



Heppy Birthday precious girl! Three days before I gave birth to baby Austin (wow-look at that belly), we had Kaitlyn's 5th birthday party at the Carousell. She invited all of her friends-girls and boys-and they had a wonderful time.
5 Things I love about Kaityn:
1. Smarter than her mom
2. Loves to help me around the house: cooking, cleaning, changing diapers . . .
3. Is very into fashion and loves wearing jewelery to match her outfits
4. Loves to look at books and is figuring out how to read some of the words!
5. She is the best to say "I love you mom!" and it brightens up my day.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN





Halloween was so much fun this year! I think my kids have enough candy to rot out their teeth for the next year. Just in case you can't tell what our costumes are, I am a witch, Kaitlyn and Breanna are black kitty cats, and Christopher is dressed as...himself!

NESTING

4 more weeks to go! Yay. I'm counting down the days, seeing as with each day I get more and more uncomfortable. My nursery is decorated all in blue, the baby clothes are washed and ready to go, my Christmas shopping is done and wrapped (I know-I'm way organized this year!), and I've made freezer meals so that I won't need to cook the first week after I have the baby. I'm tired! Baby can come anytime now.

DISNEYLAND





We spent a week in Disneyland in October and had a wonderful time. The girls still talk about their favorite rides every day. I was suprised by how brave our little girls were. Kaitlyn's favorites were: Tower of Terror, Splash Mountain, and Thunder Mountain Railroad. Whatever happened to Dumbo? Breanna's favorites: Pirates and Small World. Since I was prego, I spent quite a bit of time with Breanna riding all the kiddie rides. It was great to spend the time together as a family.

FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL



Yes, my baby girl is now in Preschool. She loves her teacher and all of the little friends she has made there. Her favorite part about Preschool? . . . recess and show and tell!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BREANNA!!!





Yes, my baby is now 2 years old! I can't believe it. She had an excellent day filled with balloons, cake, and presents. She would only open one present, however, and it was a FurReal Kitty. She fell instantly in love and wanted nothing to do with the other presents. All the better for me! I'm now saving them for Christmas.

My two favorite things about Breanna (or "Nanna" as she calls herself):

#1: Soooooo happy all the time! She so often has a precious smile on her face and can somehow make everyone around her laugh. She loves to be the center of attention and performs for us daily.

#2: Soooooo smart. She has quite a vocabulary for one so small and talks up a storm all day long. She loves to repeat everything we say. The other day Christopher said, "She is a little copycat." Breanna replied, "I'm a little copycat!"
