Brian and Vanessa are married!!

Besides having the same name, Vanessa and I realized that we had a LOT in common during her engagement session and wedding! She and Brian are just adorable together and they are so in love. I am so glad to have met you guys, and thanks for letting me be part of your day!! Go team Vanna and Ness!! :)

Sunset...

We have been having some HOT weather lately, which to be frank, STINKS. I love Autumn/Winter, and cold rainy weather, and so the hot just kills me. But you do NOT get gorgeous sunsets like this in cold rainy weather!!

These were taken seconds apart, with completely different settings. I love how different and yet similar they look!!

Christina and Mark are Married!

What a gorgeous wedding! It was the first time for me being at the Presidio chapel, and I actually had my wedding dinner at the Cliff House way back when! Thanks for the fun wedding guys, it was a blast!

More State Fair

She was making this as we watched out of Jelly Belly's!!

We finally lost it!!

Our very first tooth is officially gone!

Happy Birthday little man!

Today is Oliver's 3rd birthday. I am feeling SO emotional. He is such a big boy, and one of the sweetest little boys ever. Last night we were driving home from his birthday party and Crystal was naming all of her best friends from kindergarten. Oliver then said "You know who is my favorite best friend? Mommy"

He has such a big heart and loves his family so much. Since kindergarten started for Crystal he has been missing her so much. Immediately upon walking in the door from dropping her off, he will ask "Can we go get Crystal now?"

He loves pirates so much it is just hilarious. A total obsession. His pirate birthday party yesterday was a huge success, and he has been playing with all of his new pirate toys non stop.

He still loves to cuddle and just sit with me. He likes to rub my arm when he is feeling sad or tired, and still thinks I am the most amazing person there is. I don't look forward to when that goes away, LOL. I love his sweet slobbery kisses and his "squeeze hugs". Knowing that he is my baby and he is 3 is just shocking to me!! Where did the time go? I know how cliche it sounds, but seriously, WHERE DID THE TIME GO??? :)

As he tells me every day, You know who I love the best? You. :)

A few from the State Fair

We had a blast last week at the State Fair. The kids had never seen anything like it, and I just had so much fun watching their reactions to everything! By far, their favorite place was the CandyLand Exhibit. (shocking I know) Here are a couple of my faves!
