Thanksgiving

There are so many things I am Thankful for.

1- My Family (all of them)

2- My husband and his stable job

3-My children

4-My health

and so much more.

This Thanksgiving we celebrated with my family. No one wanted to cook so I found a coupon to Bucca Di Beppo saying they served Thanksgiving dinner, I quickly made a reservation.

We all had a great time being together and enjoying each other's company.

Destiny, Bobbie and Bryce.

We were seated in the Pope room. He was pretty creepy.

Jazelle loves her Auntie Latorr and Loney.

Kaleb with Grandma.

This girl is so silly, she does this every time we try and take her picture.

It's her smile.

The whole gang.

After a filling dinner everyone went to our house for dessert.

We set up a chocolate fountain, it was a hit.

Auntie Latorr has recently moved to San Jose for school, we don't get to see her much anymore so we were happy to see her.

Birthday

Jason turned the big 32 on November 28th. what he really wanted for his Birthday was an Ice cream cake, so we headed to Dairy queen and he picked out his cake, while I sat in the car with a sleeping baby.

We then headed home to enjoy this yummy cake.

Sang Happy Birthday, Kaleb and Jazelle helped blow out the candles.

It was a good tasting cake but not worth $30!

Halloween costumes

Jazelle the Chinese Princess

Kaleb the next Karate kid

Every year our community has a Halloween party, with food, and a costume contest.

They had all the kids go up on the stage and the 3 judges took a look at everyone. Then the kids got down while the judges tallied up there votes. There was a 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place prize.

Bryce was a pumpkin, Jazelle was a princess and of course Kaleb went as a Police officer.

So guess who won 3rd and 2nd place? We did! Bryce won 3rd place.

And Kaleb won 2nd place.

We got a McDonald's gift card and a gift card to our local sweet factory.

The little Angel Baby won 1st place.

Beach Day

Last month (November) we were having record high temperatures, so I decided I wanted to take the kids to the beach. My dear fiend Gen and her husband came along to help me out. It was such a hot day, even too hot for the beach (90s), but we made the day fun anyway.

Jazelle was not to fond of the sand or the water. When she did walk in the sand we gave her tons of praise.

Kaleb has never been in the ocean either, he too was afraid but this time he got over his fear and loved it. He didn't want to leave.

Gen always gets Bryce to sleep.

My kids do not like to get dirty, so playing in the sand is a BIG accomplishment.

Petey!

Awhile back, Kaleb was chosen to take Petey his school mascot home.

When I came to pick him up from school he immediately ran into the car and buckled him up.

That night Petey had hot chocolate before bed.

The last day we took Petey t o the Beach!

I sure love these guys.

Even when one keeps me up all night,

and the other talks back,

while the other does exactly what she has learned from her older brother.

Girl's Day

Is she a princess or what? I love having a girl to share girly outings with.

I took Jazelle to get her nails painted, she did so well. She picked out her own color and sat very still in th chair.

I also got a pedicure.

Bryce being the good baby he is, sat there so quietly.

2 years

We just love this girl, she is so silly and makes us laugh.

At 2 years old Jazelle is 26 in long and weighs a whopping 21 lbs.

She loves to sing and dance,

read books,

put on "make-up",

dress up,

play with her older brother, (Kaleb)

help feed her baby brother. (Bryce)

She is a mommy's and daddy's girl.

Youngstars Halloween Party

Kaleb's school had a Halloween party filled with food and fun for all. The kids did a little program as well by singing some songs they had learned.

We love Grandma K and Grandma Brenda for all they do.

LA County Fair

This will be our 2nd annual trip to the Fair. We always have a good time.

Jazelle, Bryce and I got to ride an elephant!

The weather was so hot that day, they had a new attraction which was like an ice box, Jason took Kaleb in. They had different ice carvings of famous things around Los Angeles.

We love the dinosaur exhibit. These are robotic dinosaurs.

The petting zoo is also a must!

Kaleb sharing his ice cream, I guess it was meant to be captured!

Bryce was so alert.
