Recent Happenings...

Things have been a little crazy this year; a whole lot of fun, with some trials and blessings mixed in between. I've told the story many times on my blog on how we landed here in CA and ended up getting a house, which was my dream. Well, for the third time this year Matt was on the job search once again. I freaked out a bit, but this time I guess it was a little more expected. The lack of insurance for our kiddos and our mortgage and car payment were definitely on my mind. I didn't blog about it, because at the time I was not in the mood to share. However, we have been blessed once again and Matt has received two job offers. I think Matt should be a professional job finder. He is a man who knows how to interview apparently. Matt is still titer tottering between the two, however he is supposed to start one of them on Oct. 18. In between this speed bump in our lives we have tried to have as much fun as we could, while not spending money. My AMAZING friend Allison gave us three tickets to lego land. My Mom said she would babysit Myla and we were off. It was so much fun and really just what we needed. It is not a place I would probably get a season pass to, but the mini lego lands that they made were so cool to see. I can't believe what they made with those legos and how real they looked. Madeline was tall enough to go on a good majority of the rides, so that was helpful. Their water areas were her fav though, especially since it was about a 100 degrees outside. We also recently went to the new Disney store in mission mall, which I would highly recommend to those who live near by. They built a new princess castle in there and if you wave a princess wand inside, it plays clips from the princess movies in the mirrors. The people at the store told us that Mickey and Mini were coming to the mall and we could get pics taken with them. We went, did not have to wait too long and Madeline fell in love with Mickey once again. Later that day we headed to the pumpkin patch at Laguna Hills mall with the counsin's. Needless to say life has been hard, but a blast at the same time. Most of all, we are mainly healthy and really happy!!!

This was a boat ride through all the fairy tale stories, like three little pigs.

We were cracking up here because how much I look like lego lady. So sad :)
Matt said lego man was ripped.
Totally soaked and totally happy.
Trains are Maddie's life right now.
Hot lego woman with my man.

One good day!!!
This is the princess castle inside the store.

I wish Madeline was smiling in this pic. She had just cried before we got up there because she could not wait any longer to see Mickey, therefore her eyes are all watery in this pic.
I think this was her and Hailee's fav ride at the pumpkin patch.
Most of the cousin's. Myla was sleeping.

Tea cups with Matt. Hailee went pale on this one. She was a little scared. However Matt ended up holding on to her and she loved it. Madeline was clutching on for dear life, but with a huge grin on her face.
Madeline sang her choo choo soul song a good majority of the time. She was in choo choo heaven.





Do you love her pumpkin head band that I got for $1 at target? I'm obsessed.
She woke up. She looks so big in this pic.
Almost all of us. Auntie Kristina was taking the pic. Madeline could care less and was climbing through the pumpkins. It is like a where is waldo boook with Maddie's head band making her blend in. We will be going back, it was so much fun!!!
