Turkey Day 2009

We had my family over to our house for Thanksgiving. I got to work an early shift and got off at 4 in time for dinner. Sarah, Kelly's roomate and my mom's cousine Debbie joined us for dinner.

Here are some pics of Hannah helping Grandma bake the pies!
And Cole was all smiles :)

Halloween Wigs

Kelly brought over these wigs left over from Halloween costumes, and we dressed our little guy up. He looked FABULOUS!!

Maui 09

The first week of November we took a vacation to Maui with both kids, Grandma, Aunt Kelly, and James and Jojo. The traveling part was not-so-fun but once we were there everyone had a blast! We stayed at the Maui Marriott right on Kaanapali beach. The pool was AWESOME and the kids had lots of fun playing on the pirate ship. Mommy and Daddy really liked the beachfront massage station :)

The Official Halloween Pics

OK, trying to catch up on the last part of 2009! Here are the official Halloween pics, taken by my good friend Marian, a budding photographer. It was a TOUGH day for all of us, but we did get a few good ones! Hannah the bee did NOT want to wear her bee hood, and Cole the monkey was about as mad as Cole the froggie, so in the end we went with the pumpkin onesie which was cute also. I think the last pic captures the essence of the kids' feelings about Halloween costumes! HAHA

Hannah and Jo Jo

Jo Jo and James came for a visit a few weeks ago. Jo and Hannah are fast friends, and Jo loves helping out with Cole too!

Halloween Preview

We found some really cute Halloween costumes at the used baby store in town. Unfortunately, neither of the kids were too excited about wearing them! We are going to have to think of something clever to get them to smile for the pictures. Hmmmm.

Cole is 3 months!

And what a handsome boy he is! Looks more like MOMMY, don't you think! Yeah!

Double BOB

That's right folks, we are double Bobbing it these days. The kids are actually enjoying riding together in the stroller! Cole is 3 months and Hannah is 20 months now. Hopefully I can get back to blogging after a short 2 month post partum break :) It's been BUSY around here!

Brother and Sister

Here are pictures of Cole and Hannah at 1 month- note the family resemblance!!

Cole's first week

Father's Day

We took Cole to the Carlsbad ward for father's day and left Hannah at home with Grandma since it was her naptime. Daddy got a little bike ride in the afternoon, and for dinner we tried out our new favorite Thai restaurant in Oceanside with my mom. The last picture is of Randy on Hannah duty... we took turns chasing her thru the parking lot since she did not want to sit still and eat. Cole, on the other hand, is super at going out to dinner. He is also good at going shopping and pretty much anywhere else we want to take him...he never makes a peep!

Hannah plays fetch with Rio

Hannah has learned how to play fetch with Rio. Maybe now they will BOTH leave us alone and play nicely by themselves (just kidding!!)

Hannah meets baby Cole

Hannah was quite taken with her new baby brother. She met him on his birthday at the hospital. ( We snuck her in after visiting hours were already over and luckily nobody really cared :)
