Impromptu Dinner with Friends

Sophie and Paige playing on Paige's kid size chair.
Why they insist on practically sitting on top of each other I will never know
Hilary reading to the girls, the girls were so sweet sitting on her lap.

Our friends Clay, Hilary and Paige had us over Saturday evening for homemade pizza. Dinner was delicious, even Sophie couldn't stop eating the pizza and she doesn't eat anything or ever try anything new! The girls played so well together and it was nice to have some adult conversation on a Saturday evening. Thanks Zachry's!

Why is the toilet the place Sophie loves to go to????

For those who know me, you know that I hate the bathroom; hate to clean it, hate to talk about it and now hate for Sophie to love it! Why the toilet? Of all the things/places to go in our house, she goes to the toilet......yuck!

Sophie's new Princess car

Top 8 Reasons Why We Love Fall

Although a California fall is nothing like a New England fall, it's still fall and we still love the new season!

Top 8 reasons why we love fall:

1. Football Season! (ok, so this is more Ed then I, but still fun)

2. Best beer season ever!.....so says Ed. Try a pumpkin beer or Sam Adams Octoberfest
beer.

3. Pumpkin Spice latte's from Starbucks....get one, you'll enjoy it!

4. New Wardrobe! Another excuse why you need to buy new clothes

5. Weather change. Even though we love the constant sun and heat, sometimes its nice
to need to put jeans and a sweater on.

6. Lazy fall days are acceptable and long Sunday afternoon naps are inevitable....I
suppose Sophie might have a different idea about this!

7. Cookie season is coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!

8. Christmas is just around the corner!

A True Fan....GO PATRIOTS!!!!
