Making her rounds ...

Our Kaylors is finally here!! Yippeeee!! I picked her from the airport on Wed ... she was going to hang at work with me for a lil while and then my Mom was going to come pick her up, but we decided she could squeeze in a few hours of quality time with her Grandma Carolyn [her Mom's - Mom] instead. So even though she got into Cali at one, the fam didn't get to see her until six! Needless to say I had some very anxious kiddos waiting to see their sissy. Ray didn't get home from work until after six, so she snuck over to go see a couple of BFF's while we waited for him. They thought she was coming later in the week, so they were rather surprised when she knocked on their doors.

Damon didn't realize how much he missed her until he saw her! He wouldn't let her leave his sight! He kept asking her if she wanted to play! So cute!

Justin and that snowman! =)

Sissy-pies

Daddy just getting home from work!! Elated to have his baby home!

Tay still in shock that Kai was there!

Damon had his Christmas program that night, so we rushed over to his school and watched his awesome performance [next blog]! After Dae's performance we went over to Grandpa's! Shisha and the girls came over too!

It's so nice to have her home, especially for the holidays! Our time with her is so limited, we cherish every moment that we do have. It's the best feeling in the world to have our family complete again ... even if it only last for a bit!

Snow Fun

The pumpkin patch we take the kids to every year has now ventured out into Christmas fun. This is the first year that they've done Christmas on the farm. We weren't sure what to expect, but driving by on the freeway it looked pretty cool. They brought snow to the farm, totally awesome! It's not a huge snow play area, but definitely big enough for the kids to have a blast. Not sure who had more fun ... Ray or the kids!

They also have lights on the farm [you can drive through], but we are going to wait until Kailee gets here [only 3 more days] and take all of the kids!

He looks like he is going to stomp on Miss Auri! lOl

Throwing a snow ball @ Justin

Love this pix. Aurianna is chasing Damon to get him w/a snowball!

Who knew it would end up snowing in town the next week?! We get snow once every 20 years! People back east would probably laugh @ our snow, but it's snow to us! lOl! It was SO cool!

The run down ...

I'm waay behind! I started working a couple of months ago and I'm trying to remember how to be a 'working Mom' again! It's a lot more challenging with the kids in school and trying to balance everything, so blogging has gone by the wayside!

Lets see ... There was a fishing trip on Uncle Steve's boat!

Daddy & Dae taking in the scenery

Uncle Steve let the kids drive the boat, I thought it was going to be more like they thought they were driving, but he'd really be driving! Um, no ... he really let them drive the boat in full throttle! I was so nervous! Uncle Steve doesn't have kids, so I was like you know they are only 6 & 4 and have no driving skills yet, right?! Who am I kidding they got plenty of driving experience on the Wii! Haha

Damon kept turning around and looking at everyone, pictured below! Um, pay attention, honey! LOL

Sissy's turn

Haha, that's my girl!

Poor JuJuBe feel in the bait bucket!

Woo-who, we caught something

LOVE having my kids close in age! They are so cute together!

She loved picking up all the bait, nasty!

He really did love the boat drive!

There was bridal shower!

My bestie is getting married, yay! So the bridesmaids and I threw her a bridal shower!

We had the shower @ our friend Venesa's cafe downtown!
The bridal party minus one
The food

The awesome cake!!
Just liked this one! =)

There was Turkey Day!

So thankful for our awesomly large families! LOVE that my kids get to make so many memories with their family! This year we went up to Sacramento to see my family. Had a fab dinner and then headed back to town to see the hub's fam ... where we played Catch Phrase [hilarious] and ate some yummy desert!



I'll make a new post with a few more pixs ... soon! =)

Boo to blogs updates that don't work

For whatever reason when I blog it's not updating on other people's pages! Big BOO to that! I really haven't the slightest why this might be happening nor do I have the slightest on how to fix it! Another big BOO! I haven't changed any settings, hell if I even have the slightest on how to do that! HA! So as my page magically changed itself, I'm waiting for it to magically change itself back! HA! Good luck to me!

Trick.Or.Treat

Halloween is always fun! The kiddos were themed again this year, riding that one out as long as possible because I know there will be a day in the very near future when one of them won't want to do that anymore! Aside from that it's getting harder and harder to come up with themes that work for the three of them! Lil boogers didn't last long trick or treating though. They were content with a couple of courts and then we went over to Grandpa's and hung out with everyone!

Already sneaking into the candy! Knock, knock!

Pumpkin carving night!

Hey, where ya going with all of those pumpkins
He's so cute! He's growing up so fast!
The final product!

Our very own jack-o-lantern ... couldn't have lost 'em @ a better time!
