Our 10 year Tradition!

 I'm  all about traditions and going down to San Diego the same weekend every year for the last 10 years has been it! That's right 10 years we have been going down to the Zoo and now we have added in Knott's Berry Farm! We love this trip and look forward to it every year! The kids have so much fun! We just love watching them have fun too!

 The top 2 collages are form Knott's Berry Farm! So much fun! Penny was tall enough for the big rides for the first time! She loved them! Cash could go on a few of the big rides with an adult! Love it! I'm all about the rides!!! Love that my kids are getting taller to ride! Seriously such a blast!

 The bottom 3 collages are from the San Diego Zoo! We love to see the animals and all the new babies! Piper loved it! She was freaking out with excitement when she would see the animals move! It was so fun to see her reaction! Penny and Cash love the animals too! Penny's favorite was the Panda and Cash loved the Tiger and Lions! Piper loved them all!

Such beautiful weather with beautiful people having a beautiful time! Can't wait to get back making it 11yrs of tradition!

Pumpkin Patch for the WIN!

We have done so many fun fall things this past month! Cash's school had a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch! We normally hit up all pumpkin patches around town but we have had such a busy month that his school field trip was our first time this year and boy did Cash and Piper have a blast! This was Piper's first time on rides! You can see her expression in these pics she was loving it! These pics just capture her joy! I love it so much! They had such a blast and I had a blast watching them!!

Trunk or Treating!

We had such a blast at our ward truck or treat and chili cook off! Have No fear the Incredibles were there to save the day! Penny was off busy with her friends playing and trick or treating! She said she loved being big enough to walk with her friends! lol Cash and Piper helped me pass out the candy then daddy took them around to get their pumpkins full! We love our ward so much! We have made and built so many lasting friendships! They are our second family! Such a wonderful night!

Pumpkin Carving Fun!

We are loving this time of year! The kids had a blast carving pumpkins! Penny did hers all by her self for the 1st time! She's getting to big! She loves being creative and being crafty! Piper loved her tiny pumpkin so much! Cash had daddy's help but made sure he got to carve his name in the pumpkin! Such a fun night! Thank you Larkin family for hosting this fun night every year! Our favorite tradition!

Penny's 1st Solo Performance!

 Penny has been taking private voice lessons from Mrs Lila since the summer and has been working so hard on multiple songs! Her teacher tells me every wk she's a natural and just gets the music industry! Her teacher put together their fist showcase performance show for friends and family! This was Penny's 1st solo vocal performance! Penny rocked it up on stage! She sang and performed the song "Fabulous" from the movie High School Musical! She was so excited she got to wear a head mic! Brittany Spears style lol! She's a Star! Born performer! We were so proud of her up there singing and dancing her little heart out! She has no stage fright and was working that crowd! Just love my little performing star!

Penny's Fun School Fall Festival!

 

Have no fear! The Incredibles are here to save the day! Oh how we have so much Fun when it's Penny's school fall festival! Penny went as the perfect Violet! Cash as the best Dash and baby Piper as the cutest baby Jack-Jack! It is too much fun dressing them up! Once again it was Penny's idea for their costumes! She is always so creative and makes sure they all match in a theme! She's been doing this since Cash was born! They have always matched their costumes! I just love it so much! They had a blast at her school party! So many games, rides and candy! They burned through 150 tickets fast! Such a great night! Love this time of year!

Family Pic Time!

 

It's that time of year again! Family picture time and boy does it come around fast!

Of course the day I plan for pics a storm is going through town! lol it was nice that it cooled off but then I last minute changed the girls outfits so they wouldn't be cold! The wind picked up just as we were getting settled into our 1st pose! lol Mine and Penny's hair was going everywhere! My sister did such  great job catching these pics! Thank you so much Eryn and Joanna! It's hard work taking pics!

 

Why is it such a challenge to get everyone smiling! Penny was on! She's always on and camera ready! Cash is too busy just wanted to jump off the concrete doing tricks! and sassy Piper was not wanting to do anything we wanted her to do! It took a lot of behind the scenes to get that one to smile! lol but after all is said and done i think we got some good ones! We are so happy with them!

 Love my sweet beautiful Penny! Always such a helper to momma! and did I mention always camera ready! She turned 8 this year!

 Stud muffin right here! He's my busy all boy! He loves posing for the camera! GQ all the way! Cash turned 5 this year!

 

Baby Piper was all smiles as long as she could go where she wanted! lol So we just followed her around getting her to look at us and smile! She just turned 21mons!

Sweet and Sassy Piper!

Oh my this little one is getting sassy! Baby Piper turned 21mons! Full of personality and knows what she wants and she will get it as long as she screams to the top of her lungs! lol  For most of the time she is quiet and content but boy oh boy if shes set on something she is going to get it! Her big brother Cash likes to tease her too and when she's not it the mood to be teased she will definitely let him know! lol She loves her baby,baby stroller,  Binky, blanket, and phone! She will push or carry all things all day! She has discovered dressing up and loves when i take a pic of her and show her what she looks like dressed up! She's such a funny smart girl! She's busy! She gets into everything of Penny's! In fact she recently got into Penny's press on  nails and was so excited when she had put them on her fingers! She takes off her pants, short and diaper daily! ugh! That's no fun for mommy! We sure love this sweet and salty Piper! She keeps us going and brings us so many smiles!!
