Two posts today- there is on about October too :-)
November was a busy month for us as well. Chris and I went to Cabo San Lucas with Scott and Emily to celebrate their 10th anniversary- they also did a small ceremony since they didn't originally have a wedding. It was an AMAZING time. It was just us, Scott and Emily and another couple. Such a fun group and it was a blast.
We've taken many trips with Scott and Emily over the years- I think I have a picture of these two working with their laptops on each one. It seems as if they work so much....and they totally do- but they sure seem to talk and laugh a lot while they do it- I'm so thankful to Scott for hiring Chris all those many years ago and so glad that they continue to be such great friends.
The big day- I didn't take many pics because there was a photographer and I knew she had it covered. I was too busy having fun!
We had an awesome dinner out on the patio of the villa
This is part of the view of the patio from the house- we were high up so it looks like the infinity pool goes right into the water.
On our way out to dinner one night
We got to go on a sunset cruise our last night there- this was a really cool beach in between 2 huge mountains of rocks
From far away- I think Scott and I took about 30 pics of this cloud. They all look the same as amazing as the picture is (with no filter or editing I might add) it doesn't even do it justice.
We took the kids bowling. I think it was Patton's first time- other than being a tiny baby.
Love these ramps they have now!
Pics like this are my favorite- when I catch how sweet they can be to each other. Its good to remember when they are screaming and fighting- they really do love each other.
This is a lot of pics of this one thing. But it is so funny to me! Patton loves this Big Foot that Elliott got for Christmas several years ago. Only he is terrified of it. So he has to be perched up high with the remote then he asks us to put him down on the floor. He won't get back off the couch until we've moved him up onto the counter or put him away.
SUCH a Patton face.
Chris took the girls on their Indian Princess Campout for the weekend so it was just P and I at home. I thought he had sent me a bunch (probably 3- that is a bunch for him though) of pics of them there but since I have approximately 6.3 billion photos on my computer I'm having a hard time finding them right now. It was Berkley's first year to get to go and she had a blast- Elliott always loves it. Chris has a good time too- I'm glad they have such a fun group of Dads and girls.
P and I were supposed to do something super fun like the zoo or the aquarium. We went to a birthday party that morning and I had to drag him out of it kicking and screaming like a crazed monkey - so the fun things had to get cancelled and he had to take a nice little nap. When he woke up I took him to the park as a consolation prize.
He makes a million faces and I love them all
He loves to balance and walk on curbs and walls
Going down the slide..Look at that little face!
Holding hands as we left
We decided to start working on potty training. It didn't stick for long this time- mostly because I wasn't staying on top of him. But he did get some skittles to help motivate him. I posted it on FB- but just in case- soon after the skittles ran out he started not caring about getting to the potty. I was on my computer in the office when he came in- took off his "unders"- put on a pull-up - peed- took it off and put on a new one. He is such a smart little stinker! He is also super impressed by the "pocket" that he has in his unders.
These are his "monster toes" that he asks Grammy to paint for him every time he is at her house.
Berkley loves getting Christmas decorations out. I have to be careful about mentioning that it is going to happen soon because once I say it she stays on top of me about making it happen. Her favorite thing is the Nativity scene- she is in charge of it every year. And she insisists that all the pieces need to be inside the stable. Makes for a crowded scene.
P is obviously pretty put out about having to pull the car in the garage with Chris.
I got this mask for him on my cruse in October- I need to post some of those pics! Anyway- he wore it everywhere.
My little shopping buddy- these carts are the worst invention since the car carts that run into everything because they are impossible to steer. We have finally moved past those. ARound the 10th time that he insisted on getting one, then got out and walked 2 min into shopping, leaving me to push the bohemuth cart I started refusing to get them. Now you have this fun thing- where he runs into your heels about 60 times- tips it over on occasion- walks slower than a snail- puts random stuff in it when I"m not looking - and gets tired of pushing it halfway through. To name a few of my complaints. But look at that happy smile.....
Berkley and her buddy Joey- they have so much fun playing together.
Don't miss my post below catching up on October!!
