Trick-Or-Treat Princesses

For Halloween this year, David had to go to school, so my Mom came over and we just went around my neighborhood for an hour or so. Katie and Emma were Sophia and Snow again, just like at Disneyland. Emma was content in a stroller for once, though it was a cheap umbrella stroller.

Katie had her cool new bucket.

And away we went!

Some of the decorations were pretty cool, I have always wanted to decorate my house for the holidays, but it's so darn expensive to buy a lot, and it looks so cheap if you only buy a few small things =/

This spider scared Katie twice, I was cracking up. Since Katie hates when people laugh at her, she cried =/ Ugh. So funny though. It popped out on her on the way to the door, and on the way back, hahaha.

She got pretty tired, and we had to take a lot of rests. But she got a pretty full bucket eventually and we headed on back home.

Peaceful night out, glad Emma was good. Glad Katie got her candy.

Lombardi 2013

We had a good time at Lombardi this year. It was Katie's 2nd year, and my first. Emma's first too :p When we got there we bought tickets for everything after getting cash out of the ATM.

 We all rode the train first. They had cool dressed up scarecrows to look at as we rode.

 It's so weird having two kids now. I'm getting used to it. They're both so beautiful and wonderful. I love that Katie is such a good big sister. She loves Emma so much!

 The maze was pretty tricky! We got lost a lot! We cheated and picked up this sign we saw laying around haha. We still had a ways to go to get out. The hard part is Emma won't go in the stroller, so I had to hold her the whole time. She just cries when I put her down =/

 At least someone around here is good =) Katie had a great time!

 My little pumpkin.

It was a pretty cool day. I enjoyed it. Wish David would have come with us, but it's okay. I'm glad my Mom goes with me, it would be hard going by myself with the 2 kids now. I can't wait for next year when Emma's walking around. These are the boring months to me!! I'm waiting for her to crawl and babble and walk and say "mama."

Gymnastics Day

We had gymnastics again since it's Tuesday. Katie seems to enjoy it. She asked for this new leotard so I got it for her. She hasn't learned anything yet really, but she's trying her best. She gets candy after each lesson, she usually picks a lollipop :p

 Emma tagged along to support and cheer for sister :p

My Pretty Girls

Emma is growing so fast! She is already over a month old, and getting cuter and cuter as the days pass!

 And of course my beautiful Princess Katie is as great as ever in her new Sophia pj's! =)

1st (Annual?) Halloween Party

My Mom decided to throw a small Halloween party for the girls. She made food, bought snacks, crafts, games. It was a fun night for them! We started out eating, yum! Chocolate covered potato chips were yummy!

 She saved the Toy Story Spooky special on her dvr for them to watch.

 Played Bobbing for Apples. The kids tried their best, but it was just so hard for them, they kept spinning away and Katie got really frustrated =/ Bummer.

 Making caramel apples. Yum!

 Katie decorated hers like a face haha.

 We were going to carve pumpkins, but to save ourselves from all the mess, stickers worked better :p

 The kids spent a little bit of time playing in the room too. They have fun together, I hope they always stay close.

 Poor little Emma doesn't get to do much yet since she's so little. lol.

It was a fun night, I hope we get to do more of them.

The Bubble Run

My friend Katherine went to the Bubble Run and posted pictures on Facebook. It looked really cool, so I waited patiently for it to come to a city near me. It finally came to Pomona. I got some of my family to go with me =) I ended up taking Emma too, since she's so hard for anyone to watch. I just couldn't put David through the misery for more than 4 hours. We got there and had to get our shirts and race numbers and everything. Then waited in line for our wave to start.

It was getting really boringgg waiting in line, but we lived. Mary carried Katie most of the way on her back!

My Mom started out carrying Emma for a little bit, who was also dressed in white to participate :p (Don't worry, we didn't take her through the bubbles! We took turns going through while the other held her outside of the bubbles!)

Time to go walk!

I cheated and stayed to the sides so I wasn't completely under the bubbles, but my Mom and Mary went through the tall middle and said they couldn't breathe there were so many bubbles and foam hahaha.

Emma slept through some of it lol.

It was so much fun, this 5k was even better than The Color Run. The bubbles were hilarious. We all had so much fun! I'm so thankful to be able to do fun things with my kids and to have my family go too was extra nice =) Especially thankful for my Grandma who has been going on a few more trips with us recently. I hope this comes closer to town one day, I would do it again! =)

Foncy

My old co-worker gave me this pretty outfit for Emma for my baby shower. She looked so cute in it today, very "foncy." That's a fancier word for fancy. Hahaha. David and Emma have the same hair, I realized. LOL. Love them both!

Boo Voyage Rachel

Rachel is moving away =( Her family is going to live in Washington with some of her other family members as well as her brother who is in college over there. I am going to miss her!! We had a goodbye party for her tonight, with the cool kids from work. Glad they invited me! Christy wanted to make it a pj party so everyone would be comfy and we could just hang out.

 Camden trying to kiss Emma.

 Christy takes her holidays seriously. And since it's so close to Halloween... =)

 Even Katie and Jaren wore pj's.

 It was nice having dinner and hanging out with everyone. I miss my co-workers, they were fun =) I hope Rachel does great in her new city and has a good life, but I also hope she remembers us and thinks of us and visits!

Good luck in your life Rachel, you're a wonderful person and I hope you get everything good in life!
