Fall means...

Ocean Shores

Enough cold beach, time to go swimmmmmming!

Halloween...

Our chubby little butterfly made it all the way up and down my mom's block. Walked all by herself and would not let go of that pumpkin if her life depended on it.

The Puyallup Fair

The true fair experience...furry animals, Earthquake burgers, curly fries, and cotton candy!

Curly Fries

My first earthquake burger, mustard, onions and ALL!
Made my mommy so proud




The Pumpkin Patch

Um, there is dirt on my hands, eeeewwwwwww.

I have been a total Blog slacker! I know most of the fans of this blog see most of my pics on FB, so I know you haven't been missing out on too much of our lives :) I used to be an avid blogger. It is now one of my last priorities behind spending time with family, working, getting my housework done and catching up on all those good books I have been missing out on. Life as a working mom is INSANO! Get up, get myself caffeinated and ready so by the time Ayla gets up (not till 7 or 7:30) I can spend quality time with her before "we" head to work, pick up Ayla, get home and try to give Ayla my best, clean up the house, make dinner, eat dinner, Ayla to bed, relax?! No way I gotta do dishes and oh ya, spend time with my hubby :) I love my job and have recently felt much more settled into our routine though, especially now that Brett is not working. I miss my stay at home mommy life, the playdates, walks to starbucks, endless time with Ayla, but we have all adjusted and things are going great. Ayla is walking, actually running everywhere - she can't get enough. Its a whole new world and I may regret saying this but I am LOVING the walking Ayla. We are reading "The Happiest Toddler on the Block" highly recommend it by the way. She is definitely showing signs of tantrums and has officially learn “no" and "mine" YIKES. She is a kind, funny, smart, and strong willed 15 month old!
