Busy December!

Hello again! This has been a busy two weeks for us! First off.... London has now decided that she LOVES stuffed animals. It is soooo cute to see her cuddle them all day. If she is crying, her puppy or seahorse can always make things better =) Here are a series of adorable pics....By the way, she positions them like this.... we just hand her the stuffed animal and she will actually find a way to put it under her arm to snuggle with it!!!!
Trisha and I went to San Diego last weekend for Stroller Stride training. We has a crash course in anatomy and physiology... it was intense, but we learned SO MUCH! We are now certified fitness instructors and will begin teaching classes in January!!!! Woooo whoooo!
This shows how exhausted we were....
After cramming our brains with tons of information and learning a trillion different exercises... we had to have a margarita to celebrate!
Here was our "graduating class" of franchise owners from all over the country
Time to break in the new BOB stroller.....
Testing out some exercises at Marina Park
Come on..... you know you want to work out with us!!!! =)
Up next.... baking.... a lot of it. All with London in tow =)
I felt like a kangaroo, but hey... whatever works!

None of our friends were throwing a holiday party, so we thought, "What the heck! Let's do it!". It was a GREAT time! We invited all of our local friends over for a last minute holiday bash... it was so nice to see everyone before Christmas!!!
The fake fireplace on the TV was a hit!
London stayed up until 8pm to meet guests and then went to bed for the night.
Bye Bye!

November Smiles

The month of November brought many smiles to our little family.... I love this picture.... Daddy and his little princess in dreamland together. SO CUTE!
Adorable diaper pic
How can you NOT squeeze those cubby cheeks?!!!
London's first purse! (Thanks Carolyn!!!)
My all time FAVORITE picture! I LOVE how her shirt says "Mommy's Pride and Joy" while she is acting like that, haha. She is such a little drama queen already.
London discovered her reflection and couldn't stop smiling
That smile melts my heart
Bedtime routine.... first, the bath (ALWAYS holding Daddy's hand of course)....

....then her bottle

And this is what we find 9-10 hours later (I owe it all to Bethanni's awesome swaddling technique!). She is the BEST sleeper! We are soooo lucky!

London wanted to try on her Christmas dress.... a perfect fit!
November 22nd- London's Baptism
The boys

Proud parents and Godparents
The day was even MORE special because London's cousins (Darin, Drake & Danielle) were baptized too! Here are the girls.... Dani and London
Snuggling with Grandpa
Time to introduce London to Santa for the first time!!!!
She was ready for the big introduction....
I gave her kisses just in case she got scared....

A few tickles to try to get a smile....
But she remained very serious the entire time.... meeting Santa IS kind of a big deal you know!
She did it!!!
Some other big news....Trisha and I are excited to announce that we are now franchise owners! Together we bought Ventura Stroller Strides and will begin teaching classes this January!
Stroller Strides is a total fitness program for new moms that they can do with their babies. It includes power walking, running and intervals of body toning using exercise tubing and the stroller. We will be attending a two day training in San Diego this weekend... then we will return as Nationally Certified Fitness Instructors, woooowhooo! Wish us luck!!!

Bye for now! (I had to leave you with one last smile!!!)

October Fun!

I can't believe London will be 2 months old already! Wow... we have been having soooo much fun with our little lovebug

Cousin Arden enjoyed "playing mommy" and helped to give London her bottle. SO cute!

Garage Sale Time! Jeremy and I made a whopping $125!!! Woooo whooo!


London slept through the entire thing =)

speaking of sleep... did I mention that London has been sleeping through the night for over a week now!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh

Halloween is getting close! Of course we entered Mandy in the annual Petsmart Halloween Costume Contest for dogs. Jeremy and I thought and thought.... and finally came up with an original costume idea. Mandy went as a Petsmart employee! Haha. Out of over 30 dogs.... she won 1st place!!!!!!

I had to take a picture of this! London fell asleep with her arm up in the air like this and kept it that way. It was too cute!

We finally put her name on the wall =)

She is the cutest grumpy little bunny!

So some woman like to cut their hair short after having a baby.... I just wanted a dramatic color change. I reeeeeeeally wanted to go red. My hair stylist and I decided to test it out so he just put a few test strands of red to see if it would take. When I got home from the salon, I found these roses waiting from London =)

Pumpkin Patch Time!
No doubt about it.... she is THE CUTEST PUMPKIN IN THE PATCH!
