We love our Tessa!


Just hanging out with our Tessa!

"Potty Head"


So I am trying to get motivated to actually try to potty train our almost three year old Riley. Myles was so easy in comparison. Myles was done a few weeks after Riley was born. In fact Riley was doing really well over the summer but then the changes began. Between Zoey's birth, Jeff's new job, Myles starting school and Jeff's injury potty training took a back seat, go figure. So we decided we would try again after all the Holidays. As you can see we've begun and it is going oh so well can't you tell :(

Visiting with Great Aunt Linda!

We took a trip to Half moon Bay to visit with my (Jen's)aunt Linda! This was Riley and Zoey's first time meeting her. We had a great time visiting and "playing" with Chloe, her dog. Chloe is a bit scared of us and would only come so close before running away. It actually worked out well for Riley since he is still over coming his fear of all live animals! We ended our time together at a park in her neighborhood, where Zoey took her first swing ride! Thanks Aunt Linda for taking the time to visit with us!

Our Musical Girl


Each kiddo received a musical instrument this Christmas from our extended family the Bauers. Myles loves his Electric Guitar, Riley loves his Drum and Cymbals and Zoey loves her own personal band. I just love the look on her face in this one. I can't seem to capture the boys playing their instruments yet but if you talk to our neighbors I am sure they will tell you how it is going!!! I had no idea Cymbals could be so loud!! Thanks Bauer family oh and pay back is coming!!!

Christmas Eve fun!



Tonight while Jeff was at work my "bff" a.k.a Auntie Debbie came over to help us get ready for Santa's Visit. After dinner we took the kids to get hot chocolate and to look at Christmas lights. Believe it or not this was the first time we set out to intentionally look at all the decorations around town. The kids had a lot of fun though. When we got back we finished making Santa's cookies, writting a letter, and opening special presents form Auntie Debbie. In spite of Christmas Eve being totally different then our family had originally planned we had a great time and were so blest that Auntie Debbie could join us! Oh and Zoey's new trick occured on this glorious night :)
