This was also a very epic month of activities. First off, this year is Jake’s 30th birthday so they took a week long trip to Spain, while Michelle T, Rel, Debbie and I tag teamed to watch the girls.

I gifted Jake tickets to a soccer game and early access to watch the players warm up.







It was amazingly kind that Michelle came all the way from Ireland to help out. She will definitely have a special place in Elle & Reese’s hearts, as my own kids do.


Rel hit a pumpkin patch maze thing with TT & Kenna before heading back to Carlsbad.

Dave, Shel and Fam have a tradition of camping right near Rel in Carlsbad for fall break, so she also got some time with them.



If you know me, you know I love Seinfeld. How could I not take a photo of this car??

For TT and Kenna’s first anniversary, they took a trip to Seattle.



In the meantime, we packed up and got ready to move AGAIN (hopefully for the last time, knock wood) out of Corner Ridge and back into the newly remodeled Somerset. I can’t even put into words how very excited and ready to go I was – even though there were a few things not done yet.


The amount of boxes and trash became mind blowing. This was the tip of the iceberg

Lelu, Jake and the girls went to Disneyland with their friend Miranda and Connor and Maddi for a couple days. From what I understand, it wasn’t exactly the happiest place on earth for them.



Halloween season and pumpkin patches are a must!




The cutest Toy Story family ever!


Rel totally pulls off spiderman!

TT & Kenna go all out for everything since it’s Kenna’s absolute favorite holiday.

On Halloween, Dave and I flew with my mom to move her out of Becca & Scott’s to Arizona to stay with their family for the winter.
