Disneyland!!

Last Friday afternoon we took Bella to Disneyland! Grammy and Pop were able to join us and we all had a wonderful time...We rode on some rides, watched the parade, met Goofy and Mickey, watched the Princess show, saw fireworks, etc...Isabella got Minnie ears with her name, a flashing necklace, and a Jasmine toy. She was so worn out that she fell asleep waiting in line for the Nemo ride. We had so much fun; I really hope that we get passes for Christmas and we can enjoy Disney fun anytime!

Mother Loves Fall!

Ever since we left Rebecca's house on Friday from decorating the Luau, Isabella has been begging to decorate our house. So Monday after she woke up from her nap, we put out the pumpkins and fall decorations. We didn't put up much this year (although more than what I took pictures of), but I just love the fall season and it put me in the mood for Halloween, our Anniversary and Thanksgiving! We are excited for what the next few months have in store for us...

Last week we were able to celebrate Beau's 4th Birthday! Isabella had so much playing with Beau and helping her open all her presents. Look how cute the family is!!!


Saturday was our third week of Ballet. We didn't get to watch class this week (SAD!), but the girls said they had a great time! Isabella had to wear her ballet outfit to Grammy and Pops house to show off after class, while Mommy went to work at Sal's 60th birthday party (pictures later!).


And here we are trying out Mommy's new camera. Some funny Bella faces...

Second Week of Ballet!

Here are a few pictures from Ballet/Tap class this week. Isabella had a great time...we woke up early and even though she said, "I'm too tired" when I tried to get her up, she got up anyway and was so excited to wear her hot pink outfit and see Beauy! Unfortunately my camera hit it's last leg and all of my pictures are blurry...so guess what? I bought a new one today! Hopefully Caitlin has better pics?!


Stretching!

Warming Up!

Going Across the Floor!


Tapping with her Heel!

Dear Mr. Obama



I copied this from the Lee family blog! Sara and Derek have a military family and you all know my Dad, Chris' Dad and all of our Grandfathers served this country...I will let this speak for itself. Worth watching!

Congratulations Brandon & Aileen!

Saturday night our friend Brandon got married at Friendly Hills Country Club. It was a beautiful evening and wedding. We had such a great time hanging out with Chris' fraternity brothers/our college friends. Oh so much fun to see the boys all together. We can't wait to see them again soon...Next time I can have a drink (or two) !!

First Day of Ballet!

Saturday morning we had Isabella and Beau's first day of Ballet. Beauy has taken Ballet before, so she is a more experienced, but Isabella tried to keep up and they had so much fun together! At one point they were sitting down facing the teacher (so we could see the backs of them) and Beau reached her arm around and hugged Isabella. Isabella did the same and they gave each other a hug for no reason. It was the cutest thing ever! Below are some pictures. And the girls have a recital on December 14th. We are looking forward to that! Lots of love!

U....C....L....A....UCLA...Fight, Fight, Fight!

WHAT A GAME! We had a wonderful day yesterday cheering for the Bruins! We went early and set up a BBQ picnic on the golf course with all of the other fans. Then we headed into the Rose Bowl for a great game. Needless to say, it was so much fun seeing "Father" so excited! Bella was so tired she sleep a lot of the game, but before and after her nap she had a great time cheering in her new outfit! And of course, Brother already likes football because he was kicking and moving around when he heard the crowd go wild! Go UCLA!
