Last minute pumpkin patch run

Don't try to go to the pumpkin patch two days before Halloween because you won't find any pumpkins. Well, I shouldn't say that because you will find very large, very rotten ones! This was another soccer practice day so we had Matt with us and Laura just ran around trying to do all the things the boys were doing. They were running around so fast I can't believe I got any pictures. I was able to get one of the new little pumpkin/fall hairclip I made Laura. I am officially obsessed with making felt hairclips by the way.

Miss Dusti's Kitty Cat Cupcakes

We had a wonderful playdate with Miss Dusti, Kendal and Chase on Wednesday. Kendal and Nathan played legos and Chase and Laura played together. Dusti and I tried to make some sample practice lego cupcakes for Nathan's party next week. Dusti makes the most incredible cupcakes that look as good as they taste. The kids were thrilled to take these cute kitty cat cupcakes home. It is so nice to have such good friends.

Pregnant Together!

This is my oldest, dearest and truest friend Cristina. We went to high school in the bay area together and can you believe we are pregnant at the same time?! We are due 2 weeks apart and I just love that we were able to get together last week and catch up. It had been waaaay toooo loooong since we were able to spend time together. She looks fabulous and while the picture isn't the greatest I am glad we have this memory to savor! She is a wonderful special person and I couldn't be happier for her and her husband Ricardo! I am looking forward to getting together soon so we can take more pictures and then introducing our little boys to each other - that's right, she is having a boy too! How fun!

Happy Birthday Dustin!

Happy 'blank' Birthday to my wonderful and crafty friend Dustin (aka Dusti)! This picture is from my birthday back in November but I wanted to celebrate with a picture of us together. Maybe when we celebrate her birthday with friends tomorrow we can get an updated picture? Dusti is such a wonderful and honest true friend. She has been through a lot these past 3 years but the future looks bright and cheery! She is a constant reminder to not take things for granted and live and do in the now and don't sweat the small stuff and be true to yourself and your family and your friends. We have talked a lot about organizing and prioritizing our lives with things and people that are most important and I love her spirit and the kind of mom she is to her two wonderful little girls. She is a great wife, mother and friend and deserves a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Friends

Here, Nathan and Laura are with dear friends Kendal and Chase at a birthday party on Friday. They all get along so well and love playing together and I love all the time I can get with my crafty friend Dusti. I think this is the first (and only) picture we have of all four of them together and it is just so sweet. Thanks to Miss Dusti for sharing the photos. As I was looking at the pictures Nathan says "those are some beautiful, beautiful, beautiful little cutie pies. I mean the girls Mom". I just love the things he says sometimes! I couldn't agree more and I mean all four of them!
