Oh no...it's SANTA!!!

Look Familiar?? Looks just like her pic with Santa last year...she does not like Santa...she likes the presents and ask "When is Santa coming?" but she sure dose NOT like to sit on his lap!!! haha..I knida dont blame her!

Our Bug Turns 2!!!!!!!!

How can it be that our little Beauty has turned 2? It is crazy how fast time really passes and it seems like once you have kids it speeds by even quicker. December 15, 2007 will forever be the best day of our lives.
At 2, Elle is smarter than her years...she understands and has a vocabulary far beyond most 2 year olds, it both shocks us and scares us. She is a lover and a bruiser at the same time. She can be sooo sweet and smother you with hugs and kisses and then turn around and man handle something twice her size like it's no big deal. She is so tough...she rarely cries from pain...she can fall sooo hard and just get right back up and brush herself off. When she does cry it is from emotions or hurt feelings or because she didnt get her way....she is a TOTAL GIRL! She has her Daddy wrapped around her finger and for that matter, her Papa, Grandma, Aunties, GG, Great Aunties and Uncle too. You can say she gets "a little" attention. Above all she is the sweetest most tender little bug in the whole world and we are all so blessed to have her.

The other night at dinner she had her hand on my face and looked at me and said, "Momma, you're my best friend." Ugggggg.....I am soooo BLESSED!

Happy Birthday Elle Ryan!!! We love you more than the moon!!!

Ryan and Shanan Burk

Our friends Ryan and Shanan tied the knot in Cabo on December 4, 2009. If ever there was a couple who is meant to be it is these two. We just love them together and know that this is one union that will last a lifetime!!!! It was the most amazing setting and beautiful day!

Congrats to Ryan and Shanan...you two are amazing and we love you so much!!!

We LOVE Cabo

Sean and I spent the first week of December in Cabo San Lucas for wedding and some relaxation time. We had such an amazing time, the weather was awesome and it was nice to just get away. We have always taken Elle on our vacations with us, she went to Cabo with us when she was 3 months old and then to Maui when she was 8 months, but since she was born we have never been away from her for a full 8 days. It was nice to have some time just the two of us...but by day 5 we were missing her like CRAZY! I dont think we will go again without her for that long...half the time we kept saying, "Elle would love this!" So in the future it looks like we will be taking our bugga along for the fun!!!...at least we say that now...LOL

Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays

This time of year gets pretty busy for us. So many of our friends had babies near the holiday months, so once October hits it seems like it is one fiesta after the next. Elle absolutely loves all of the parties...but there are sooo many that she has started to think that we should be going to one everyday! On a daily basis she asks me for cupcakes and bounce houses! LOL

Here are some of the sweethearts that had Bdays the last few months, Elle just LOVES all of her little friends!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Tyler!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Hanna!

Happy 2nd Birthday Kaylee!!

Family Pictures

We finally took some family pics. The last time I had professional pics taken was when Elle was 6 months...so we were way overdue! My brother-in-law Bryan is an amazing photographer and did the shoot for us in Corona del Mar. We love the way they turned out! Thank you Bry Bry....you are the best!!!
