A Halloween Party

On Saturday Niko put together our 2nd annual Halloween block party.  We invite all the neighbors and our friends for an afternoon of fun, games and costumes.  Mine were a swamp monster, Scream & a navy seal.

Roman, Ty and Super Mario Peyton.

I got into creative mode and made mummy fingers.  

The monkeys...

The required pic of Vern & Me.

The kids getting ready to eat the donut on the string, by far the funniest game I have ever seen!!

Cute mother daughter costumes.  

Thanks Niko for hosting another great Halloween party!!  And for coming home for the weekend and giving us our dose of Niko, Kerri, Roman & EQ.  Love you guys!!!

Jill's Weekend

I was super lucky to have Jill, Kim & Monika fly out from Chicago for Jill's bachelorette party!!!!  I had a little party on Friday night with my fave girls and fun stuff at my house and on to more fun at the Spa Casino for some dancing. 

Court brought over some 'girl' party appropriate candy.

Vern broke out the mustaches...

And Jill got in the spirit!

A little dancing...

This one is out of order, Saturday we went to the boys soccer game, laid by the pool, watched a movie and went out for a yummy dinner at Lulu's.

A tasty shot...

Jill and Kim enjoying a treat after our hike on Sunday morning.  Seriously one of the most fun weekends ever, these 3 girls were a blast and I enjoyed every minute!!  Lots of good food, wine, a little exercise squeezed in there and tons of laughs.  I can't wait until the wedding in November!!!

Bring on Soccer Season!!

Saturday was the first game of the season and they looked so darn cute.  Ty is on the Eagles and the twins are on the Gators.  They got up at 6am asking when it was time to go to their game, so excited!!

Eric is coaching Luke & Mace's team, they love having daddy as their coach and it is so cute.  

Santi tried to psyche the other team out, it worked, they ended up winning 10-1.  And they were so modest.....'we winned them 10 to1' they told everyone they talked to after the game.

Luke running full steam ahead.

Ty is in U10 this year, they have goalies and much more organization. His team won their first game too.

Lots of sweaty boys after playing for an hour in 104 degrees.  

That afternoon we went to the skate park for a professional exhibition.  They love it there.  

There was even a DJ.

Fun in the sun in Palm Springs!!1

On a side note, I did Zumba for about the 4th time tonight.  Man, I am the most uncoordinated person out there....is it wrong I love it so much????

Cabo

Two weeks ago Eric was lucky enough to get to go to Cabo with Kerri.  The ultimate vacation with golfing, fishing and good people.

He caught a big Wahoo that ended up quite tasty on our dinner table!!

Eric's idea of heaven.

Oak Glen

On Saturday Eric, Julie and I took the boys to Oak Glen for some fall fun.  We picked strawberries, I was glad to see the boys had their Aunt Missy's work ethic with eat, eat, pick......they were so sweet and yummy and long gone by the time we made it back to the car. 

I think Mason thought the perfect one would just magically appear without searching too hard. 

Luke found the perfect resting place on Julie.

The boys enjoyed hard core 'boy' time rolling around in the grass tackling each other. 

All in all, a fun family day in our beautiful sunny Cali.  

Fun with my boys and another Baby!!!

Last weekend Ty had a sleepover at my parents so Eric and I took the boys to sushi downtown, so fun and super yummy!!

They took the date seriously and got all dressed up on their own. 

This weekend Tash and I took the kids to Big Bear for one night to get out of the heat.  

Today we went to the new ice skating rink for Drew's 6th birthday party.  The skating was a little sketchy at first but they all loved it and have asked quite a few times to go again.

The adults even got into it!!

And afterwards, super stylish with socks, flip fops and frozen toes.  I was making fun of my look and glanced down and saw Tash had the same idea.

The birthday girl got to ride the Zambone.

 And the most exciting news of the week, a new cousin for the boys!!  Jill and Jon welcomed Tobin J Rossi on Thursday, September 29th.  5lbs, 11 oz, a little peanut and so cute.  We can't wait to meet him!!
