September Recap

Paul at the fair

Brigham had his first field trip to the LA County fair and I had a total panic attack about someone snatching him, so what did I do??? I stalked his class! I wanted to be a chaperon but I was too prego and I had Paul. I told my mom I was going and she insisted on going with me (thanks mom) so she got up at 6:30 am and drove down to meet me. While we were there we got some cute pictures of Paul. He had a blast, my panic attack worked out great for him :) This was about 1 week before the baby was born.


My kids are so lucky to have such a fun grandma!



Paul with the goats - he loved them!

Fishing with Chad & Heather

On September 19 & 20 Chad and Heather invited us to go to Big Bear to go fishing with them. They got us a super sweet deal at their timeshare so we stayed the night and got up early to go fishing! It was so much fun! The kids had a blast with their cousins an it was nice to spend some time with Chad and Heather and my dad and mom. I think this might have been what put me into labor because I started having contractions the next day.

Our 9 year Anniversary

Our anniversary was 2 days after the baby was born so we decided to celebrate by going to lunch at The Corner Bakery. I was supposed to plan our anniversary this year but just got a little busy =)


I love the Corner Bakery! I always get the

Chicken Pommadori. If you haven't had it go get

it now! We had such a good time. Paul and little

Ben were so well behaved. I guess that was their

little anniversary gift to us!


I bought the cake at the restaurant, took the apple

cider and glasses the hospital gave us and the flowers

my parents brought and had a sweet little dessert with

my sweetheart =)

I Love My Family

I have the best family! My mom, sister, sisters in law and cousins had a shower for me at Olive Garden. Katie planned it (thanks Katie) before I had the baby but when he came 2 weeks early we had to push it back. It was alot of fun and I got some great stuff! It was nice to have the baby there for everyone to see :)

More really cute stuff!!

So that was pretty much my month of September in a nutshell!! Hope you enjoyed!

I got this little video of Paul today. I was watching the kids while Summer went to the store and I lost track of Paul for a minute. I was looking all over the house and then went out back to find him. I called out his name and his little head popped out of the top of this tree and said "What!" He promptly came back down so I made him climb back up so I could get it on camera. Some of you moms with weak stomachs might want to look away. Anyway, for your enjoyment.
