Fun with friends at the park

Today, my friend and I decided to get our kid's out of the house and take them to the park. We wanted to take them to this one I really like, but after driving around for like 15 minutes not being able to find it, we decided to go to Beryl Park, a park that we passed on our long quest trying to find the other park....ugh...so frusterating! Anyways, the boy's are almost 3, so a year younger than Brielle, but they all play so good together.

By the way they are twins: Ethan, Brielle, and Andrew....

My friend and me were sitting on this bench watching the kid's play, and these 3 boys, who were probably like 9 or something (so they should have been in school) came up to us and said move off that bench, we need to walk on it! I was like, no sorry, but we are sitting on it, then the bratty kid was like well get up, then when we are done you can sit back down (meanwhile the mom is just sitting there watching this), so i said we were sitting here so if you could just go around us please....oh my gosh!! get your kid off our back! SO annoying...we were like so amazed that they were that rude and their mom's didn't even care!

Anyways, after our great fun park adventure, we went to my friend's house and she made lunch for us, and the kid's played in the backyard for awhile. It was a fun play date. Elli love's getting together with her friend's! And I love it too, so I can hang out with my friend's too!!

Aren't they so stinkin cute?

Northern Cali Vacation

About 2 weeks ago, my mom, sister, nephew, me and my kid's loaded up the car with carseats, and luggage, and headed off on a 10 hour drive (yes, it was tons of fun) to northern california : paradise, and chico, to go to my cousin Mark's wedding...We stopped in Bakersfield to sleep at my aunt Jana's house, so it was only 2 hour's the first day...As soon as we got to my aunt Cyndy's house, she told us to go in the backyard to her pumpkin patch and pick some pumpkin's. It was so cute. My cousin Ryan had his kid's there too, who are around Elle and Aye's age, so it was fun to watch all the kid's get excited about the pumpkin's

This is my cousin Tanner, who Brielle followed around pretty much the whole time.....which I'm sure he just loved...but he was a great sport, he's 7....

After being in the house for awhile, waiting for the wedding to start, I decided to take the kid's to the park (even though it was freezing outside)...It was the preetiest park i have ever seen, Paradise is such a beautiful place, tonz of trees everywhere...

Aisley always has the biggest smile on her face when she goes on the swing! She's so cute...

Tanner wanted to push her the whole time...so sweet

Elli and her favorite big cousin...Sami (my cousin)

This is the bride, Angie, Mark's new wife, Elli was so funny with her. She kept asking if she can take picture's with her, she followed her everywhere, danced wherever she was dancing, upstairs to get something, I mean everywhere, Finally I had to tell Elli to stop cuz she needed some time to herself...

My babies taking a break at the reception...

And more of my cousin's that Elli loved hangin with

I really like this one of my mom and Elli. She really love's my mom. Aren't both of their eye's amazing! They even look alot alike...

My bestie and ayes...

Janae was dancing with Aisley and she thought that was so funny as you can tell...

Here's my cousin Andrew dancing with Sami, nothin but fun time's when family is around!!

Here's the groom, Mark with cousins (all the same age): Jessica, Carrissa, and Rachel! It was fun for them to see eachother because they were all the same age so they all hung out growing up!

My cousin, Brent and me...When he was a baby, he was seriously mine, I loved him so much, always wanted to hold him and take care of him, I spent alot of time with him....It's so funny how grown up he is now...Such a sweetheart!

Here's my boy (well actually, Jess's boy) Issac, I just love him so much and he was asking me to get him out of the swing, and I said sure, if you say cheese for the camera, and look how cute that cheese turned out!

The kid's must have thought they could read, cuz the found this rock with some writing on it, and they stood there for the longest time pretending to read what was on there. It was pretty amusing!

And there's the mum and Elli, best of friends! She love's her mum so much, and she was playing with her grandkid's for a long time at the park....Gotta give my wonderful mom a shout out for helping out with the kids so much on that trip, it's always alot harder when the daddy's not around to help out, but she did an amazing job! So grateful that I have such an amazing mom!

Aisley and Aunt Jess just chillin at the park! It was seriously so beautiful there!

So as we were at the park, Elli saw some kid's and her friendly self, went up to them and asked what are you doing, and lucky for her they asked her to play along, they had like a balloon shooter, that shot these balloon's in the sky then it came back down and you had to catch it, she had soooo much fun doing this for a long while, and in the meantime made such good friend's with this little girl who was 5, they played for a while after that together!

We love getting to see our extended family, and we had a great time. We love all of them so much! Congrats to Mark and Angie! The kid's did ok in the car but they were definitly excited to get home.....of course Elli jumped right on in to her swimsuit, and put not only a princess crown on her but one on her sister too!

Halloween Night!

Yesterday was a long day for us. Us girls, woke up in the morning and went to Uncle Rob's school. (UCR) He's in his second year of medical school. They needed my kid's for example's for physical's. It was really cool. Im way proud of my bro cuz med school is so long and takes up so much time, and just alot of way hard work, he's doing such a good job!! It was fun seeing him in his white jacket, looking like a doctor. He also dressed up for Halloween, and I thought it was the funniest costume I've seen this year....And yes this is his REAL hair!!

We rushed home, got Elli ready for her preschool party, and she was off. She had a blast at her first Halloween school party. After that, we went straight over to our church for trunk or treat, for hot dogs (eww), and nachos, haunted house (which Elli screamed the whole way thru), lots of fun games, lots of candy, and then we were off to our friend's house, the King's. Addie and Elli are good friend's so they had alot of fun trick or treating. My friend made some amazing chicken taco soup, which sounds way more appatizing than those boiled hot dog's, right? And we didn't get home till 10:30, so it was a late fun night! And Aisley liked her first halloween, mommy and daddy gave her a sucker, which she devoured.

Claire and Brielle...

Somebody asked if Aisley wanted a balloon, so I said sure, O my gosh this balloon was the highlight of her night, she kept putting her mouth up to it and talking to it because she liked how it sounded like it was echoing....she thought it was so funny and kept doing it.....

Mommy and Aisley...

Here's Ayes and Brandon, in front of the excursion that my mother in law decorated. She always does a good job of decorating for trunk or treat each year....

I love this one of Aisley and her daddy, Aisley is a daddy's girl all the way...They were both laughing so hard...

All in all we had a GREAT halloween, and we were happy to be able to have our daddy around this year, luckily he got off early enough (he's been working in the backyard with his friend's masonry company). I want to leave you all with a picture of the cutest cow you'll ever see!!!

Trunk or Treat

Yesterday was trunk or treat at Mum and Pappy's church in Chino Hills. This year Brielle was a cowgirl and Aisley a cow....

Brielle invited her good friend Moe, they were so cute getting ready, they couldn't wait to get their hair curled and makeup on, and they kept looking in the mirror saying how beautiful they both looked. Listening to little kid's conversations with eachother cracks me up....
This is the 3 cuzzies on the Crompton side, Issac, is Jessies son who is 1 1/2. He was so funny, he saw the tale on Aisley's cow costume and started pulling it saying tail tail....it was so cute...They all have big blue eyes...I love it!!!

These two girls are Brielle's age and are her friends from her mum's ward, Rose and Abbie. They were very cute together...They were all running around playing chase weaving in and out of people, sometimes almost knocking someone over....It was fun to watch though....

Fun times at the Pumpkin Patch

Today Elle, Bri, Ayes, and me went to the pumpkin patch down the street. It was alot of fun!!! It was sooo fun to watch Bri and Elle go down the huge slide. They both had enormous smiles on their faces and were laughing so hard. They both got matching scrapes on their elbows going down too. They also went on this maze thing and had a blast...They are the best of friends. Bri is such a good auntie. Elle just loves her to death.
