Vegas Getaway

Ozone Roofing, Freddy's company, had timeshare points that weren't used this year, so we used them in Vegas this weekend. We knew we weren't going to do much since we brought the kids with us, but it was nice having Freddy around for help. We basically slept when we could. The kids were so excited about being there, their sleeping pattern was totally off! And with the baby, everything was pretty exhausting! But with what energy we had, we did a few things. We took the kids to see the lions at MGM and took them to the M&M factory. Spencer and Reta, Freddy's oldest brother and wife, went this weekend as well with their new baby Mason. So we all met up and went to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. The kids always like that. We made forts in our room for the kids to play in which they loved. We were able to get out one night, thanks to my friend Coleen, and have an amazing dinner at one of those Japanese restaurants that cook in front of you, and that was a big highlight! We made the most of it, but man, we are sure tired.

Twick 'O Tweet!

I love that my kids, well Tre and Brooklyn, actually get Halloween this year! We took them to get their costumes a few weeks ago and they knew exactly what they wanted! Brooklyn loves The Wizard of Oz and Superman seems to always be Tre's favorite. We thought they would pick completely different costumes, but chose what they wanted. (Brooklyn still won't take hers off!) We attempted to spray Tre's hair black, but just fell apart right before we even got there! It was a good attempt! We met up with a whole bunch of our friends and did one little street which was enough for us. I'm still recovering and the kids had already had a full day. Some of the houses were decorated so fun! The kids were totally into it! (I love the picture with Brooklyn looking at the melted witch! Priceless!) They had a great time! Happy Halloween!

Halloween Party

We love having friends who are willing to have fun parties for our little kiddies to go to. Our friends the Cathey's had a Halloween/Birthday party for their boys and the kids had a blast!! There were a ton of kids and they did costume parades and contests with a bunch of food! Heaven for T&B! Heather had these adorable Halloween themed cupcakes made. Such a fun time for the kids! Thanks Cathey's! We had fun!

The True Superhero's in Our Lives

Meet the Nemrows. Blair and Shanna are forever in our hearts as the most amazing people in the world! While in labor, Shanna drove all the way out to Oceanside from Chino Hills to pick up our kids and take them for the weekend. They planned a whole bunch of activities for Tre and Brooklyn with their family and went above and beyond to reassure us that they were well kept for. (I'm tearing up just thinking about it!) They would send us cute updated pictures of the kids playing and having fun. We were actually in the hospital for Freddy's 30th birthday since Knox was actually born the day before, hence the "Happy Birthday" picture. With all the drama going on, Blair and Shanna made the whole hospital experience so much easier for us. Here are some of the pictures they sent us. Thanks you guys! You truly define what good friends are. We love and adore you! (I also have to thank my beautiful sister-in-laws Kati and Amy Kay! Kati took Brooklyn for a few days to hang with her girls and Amy Kay watched Tre for a few days as well. I love, love you guys! Your service helped us so much! I truly can't thank you enough!)
