HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Halloween 2009; Jake didn't want play dress up this year.

Kaycie was a gothic princess & Riley was a Pirate! We went to Grandma & Grandpa Mellors for Chili and then off for some trick or treating. The kids had tons of fun and the weather was great!!

Riley celebrated his 4th birthday on September 30th. For weeks, he's been telling me he wanted a Thomas party, so he was excited to see the balloons, trains, and Thomas toys! We had friends and family come celebrate with cake & icecream. He loved opening his presents and it was so fun to watch him get excited about each one! I cannot believe my baby is "4"...time flies!

HAPPY 17-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Mark and I just recently celebrated our 17-year anniversary (September 25). Since Mark was still working in Kansas, he made a plan to fly out on the 25th and meet me in San Diego for a weekend and then fly home together to see the kids. We had a very fun and relaxing weekend...saw some beautiful scenery, caught some rays by the pool, and even went for a morning job along the coast! We ate some great food and it was just nice to spend some time with Mark, since we hadn't seen each other for almost 8 weeks!
