We did our Grape Day pictures, and overall I think it turned out great. Kaden and Kohl were awesome, total little models! Watch out Abercrombie!!! lol Brady, well he was just Brady, a two year old who doesn't like to sit still! :) Now the tough part, picking just one to use for our cards....it's gonna be hard for me to do!

They LOVED this old tractor....spider webs in all..ewww!

I swear, you will notice a trend...there is always one of them either making a weird face or looking the other way!


little stinker was hiding behind them!


haha, Kaden looks Asian! (that means its a total fake smile!) Jason was trying to get Brady to smile so he told him to show his teeth....well he DID! haha!




This one's a fave!


They were actually watching some skateboarders, who, very quickly, got kicked off this historic building by the security guy...they thought is was entertaining ;)





Being Silly


I love this one! Too bad Brandy wanted nothing to do with it!





Work it Kohlie!


I asked to them to scoot in once Brady got up and ran off, and they immediately linked up together, I LOVE my boys!!! (weird shadows from the tree, bummer!)




This one is great too, another fave cause it's just a classic moment

(same one with a different finish)

I love both of these pictures.

Yee-Haww, cute...except Brady looks like he's gettin' ready to fertilize lol

Beach and Birthday Fun

This past week, my Grandparents (the boys Omar and Pop-pop), were staying out in Carlsbad right across from Tamarak Beach. We went to the beach last weekend and then had dinner to celebrate their 58th anniversary! I let Kaden play hooky from school on Thursday and took the kids out to the beach again and they swam like fish at the pool in the resort. You could not ask for more beautiful weather!
We also had a busy birthday weekend with two cute little girly birthdays (which means, I got to buy girl clothes!!) We celebrated a friends daughter's 3rd birthday in very cool Halloween fashion. There were some of the CUTEST costumes with about 15 little kids all dressed up. My favorite was the little UPS guy, he was too cute! The boys were SO excited to get to wear their costumes before Halloween! Kaden is a Knight, Kohl is the Incredible Hulk, and Brady is our handsome lil' devil. After that we were off to celebrate their cousin's big 1st birthday.

Boys v. Girls (about cleaning)

Kaden, my oftentimes great little helper,asked if he could vacuum this morning....of course!!!! Well him and Kohl turned it in to a suction battle, which I have to admit, had me busting up! Even Brady, who does NOT like the vacuum right now and usually runs, was watching and laughing!
(Can you tell Brady got his first REAL haircut!)

For our Christmas pictures this year I plan on taking the boys pics at Grape Day park, so I took them all their this morning to check it out and take a few shots. I am still learning, but feel like I am getting the hang of how to take decent pictures on manual settings. We'll be going back next week in the evening so the lighting will be different, but I found some cool backgrounds, I can't wait! Kaden likes to have his picture taken but usually makes very over-cheesy smiles lol, Brady doesn't have a clue so I can just snap away at him, and Kohl hates it...should make for an interesting time to try and get all three looking together and looking good lol!
Here are some of my favorites from today.

The santa ana and the slide were making his hair freak out!

At least pretend to be having fun...please! All Kohl wanted to do was go back to the playground!

I found my tile!

I have this teeth whitening option on my software, but I think it's a bit too much though! :)

Love this background!

Keep it on, 10 seconds, give me 10 seconds! lol

The guy on the riding mower was behind me, it scared and distracted him enough to forget about the beanie.

OH and on a side note, Mr. Brady has a hair appt. tonight....AAAaaaa, I hope they don't hack it! I still am keeping it long, just cleaning it up a bit.

Just had to say....

One of my MOST favorite things about fall....PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES! Non-fat, WITH whip of course!

LegoLand fun

Kaden had a great birthday, he celebrated his actual birthday night with some friends and family for cake and ice cream, then the next day we went over to grandpa and grandma's and hung out with most all our families for swimming and pizza, a cool dragon cupcake cake and s'mores by the fire-pit. Then today we took the boys to Legoland. We had such a blast! Jay and I each took a turn going on the rides with them (one of us would stay with Brady). The park was perfect for their age and the rides were not to over the top so they never got freaked out. It ended up being pretty warm so towards the end of the day we made our way over to the Pirate's Cove where it was my turn to go on a ride...yay for me, I got the ride where you get SOAKED! It was so much fun though! Then we let them run around in the water before we headed to driving school where they drove a course to get their D.L. How stoked were they!!! Here are some pics of the trip (there ended up being a lot more of Brady because when it wasn't my turn to go on the rides, I was just snapping away at him).

Kohl tought is was hilarious to sit on the water spouts...

Brady got mad at the water when it would stop or he couldn't get to it fast enough

what can I say???

This was a huge wall of water that would dump out of a gigantic bucket, we wouldn't let Kohl stand under cause we were afraid it would knock him over!
