May Your Days Be Merry and Bright!

Happy December EVERYONE!!!! Here are some fun pictures from this month...

We did a family photoshoot on the beach. The pictures turned out GREAT... wonderful memories!

Check out our Christmas card (coming soon in the mail!) for some more pictures from that photoshoot =)

Some London modeling shots =) Remember to look for her little smile on the Carter's website and in the stores this January!

Stroller Strides is going very well! We did a canned food workout earlier this month! All the girls brought cans of food and we did an entire workout with the cans. Afterwards we donated all the food to Ventura Missionary Church.... they are doing a canned food drive for the needy during the holiday season.

Here is another shot of all our MUSCLE MOMMAS =)

Here I am leading the group in squats... lots and LOTS of squats =)

A group of us decided to take our babies to visit Santa!

London was NOT happy about this... beards can be VERY scary you know!

Decorating the tree... London put the star on top

Last weekend we hosted our 3rd Annual Holiday Party! We did an Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest and had all our good friends come over for an evening of FUN!

Under the mistletoe =)

First, second, and third place! Their sweaters were AWESOME!

We also had a gift exchange... here some of the guests are stealing other gifts. It was so much fun and everyone seemed to be laughing throughout the game.

London is such a big girl now! Here hair was getting so long and falling into her eyes, so it was time for BANGS!!! She looks so grown up now!

October Highlights

October was SO MUCH FUN! We took London to the Calabasas Pumpkin Festival (no Kardashian sightings unfortunately). We met up with a few friends there and enjoyed walking around all the booths and games together. London was NOT a fan of this walking giant pumpkin man =)

But she DID enjoy when Daddy took her on a ride on the big slide! Her little friend, Maya, and her Daddy beat them in the race to the bottom.

Halloween Time! London and I were butterflies and Jeremy was the butterfly catcher!

A big group of our friends came over and we enjoyed the little two block neighborhood kids parade and trick or treating together.

This is London's boyfriend, Grant (aka: the monkey)

London's first time trick or treating! The first door...

She was a pro in no time at all!

Mmmm... kit kat

My business, Ventura Stroller Strides, is doing really well! I am almost at

my goal of 15 members by the end of the year! Here is a picture of the girls working out on a Friday morning.

Each month we do a Moms' Night Out. This month everyone met at my house in their PJs for Movie Night! We popped popcorn and watched Steel Magnolias together. There were 2 girls in our group who had never seen this classic chick flick (and one actually had a baby girl named Shelby!). I attempted to make a red velvet "bleedin armadillo" for the occasion =)

Ready for the movie!

Other big news... London landed a job for Carter's! Here we are at hair and makeup.

It was 93 degrees out.. but don't worry, London had her own air conditioned trailer!

I took a quick pic of the Carter's crew hard at work even though I wasn't supposed to have my camera on the set, hehe. They put London in an adorable Valentine's Day outfit! She was standing on a grassy hill surrounded by red carnations. The photographer had her hold one white carnation and she was a big ham for the cameras =) I was so proud!

Here are the new pants coming out in Fall. They put a little red top on her right before her pictures were taken.

Another sneak peek at the new clothing line... a little onesie that says, "Mommy's lil Shopper".

Look for London this Jan/Feb in store catalogues, the Carter's website, and Carter's stores!!!!

What a FABULOUS October!!!

London's Disney Job

Wanted to post some pictures of a very exciting day!

Jeremy and I submitted London to L.A. modeling agencies about a month ago... she LOVES the camera and loves people, so we thought it might be fun to try.

We had our choice between a few different agencies that wanted her and found a great one! This is her modeling ZED card... so cute!

We went to an audition for Disney a couple weeks ago. There were over 600 babies and toddlers there!!! We were absolutely shocked when London's agent contacted us to say that London got the job!!!!! She would be doing a GLOBAL print ad for the Disney Princess line!!!!
It was SO exciting and we were very proud!

When we arrived to the set, they all greeted London like she was a star! A camera man followed her and filmed her meeting the crew. They had special lullaby music on and a room full of toys for her to play with! She LOVED the attention!

Here she is being filmed while playing with a few princess toys.

They gave her a big princess wand and she loved it!

Proud Mommy

Pretty soon it was time for hair and makeup.... I couldn't believe it, but they actually had a hair stylist and makeup artist for her!!! Here she is getting her hair professionally done... SO CUTE!

I was loving every second of this! Such a great memory!

Getting a "rosey glow" for the cameras. I almost felt like a "toddlers in tiaras" mom for a second, but the crew assured me that they only used a touch of blush for babies =)

London's cheeks were perfectly pink!

Waiting to go in front of the cameras. The bib was there to protect her little outfit until it was time for pictures.

On the set with the photographer and wardrobe person... I was only able to snap this one picture while she "worked". The other sets were hot pink and light pink, full of cribs and cute blankets with the princesses on them of course! She was a little nervous here... but quickly warmed up to the photographer once he started playing "peek a boo" with her.
