Tessa tornado and hurricane Hannah

The girls have been quite busy destroying the house and the nicely folded clothes that I spend time cleaning and folding.

Tessa is walking and climbing on everything, into everything (dryer, cubes in playroom,) let the fun begin Thankfully we have a palm tree so no tree getting knocked over here!

Santa!!!

Hannah's preschool had Cookies and Coco with Santa this weekend and although it was their 2nd visit with the hairy man, they were not amused! The 1st visit at the mall they did amazing and we even scored a cute picture with him, well this Saturday was a different story! But funny of course!

Poor Tessa is like get it outta here!!!!!! Hannah is just like, dude I want cookies get me out of here!

I love the fact that she doesn't "get it" and doesn't ask for things.....(yet) so I'm enjoying this year of the innocence. She told the mall Santa that she has a plate for him and cookies and milk will be waiting for him on Christmas Eve! With this Santa she just looked and gave us the evil eye for putting her on his lap. 

Tessa chowing down on some cookies....by some I mean 3 or 4 right at lunch time! Mommy of the year!

**Snow**

So of course a while ago (can we say slacker???) we had emptied out the office and turned it into a playroom for the girls and in the process we had a TON of paper shredding to do! Which we did over many nights and of course saved it all to make a HUGE mess with the girls to play in! So when the woke up from their naps one afternoon we had finished the last of the pile and we played!!!!!!!!!!


Tessa not quite sure what to think of all the paper! She actually didn't eat it like we thought she was going to do! Growing up maybe?!?

Static cling! :) The girl is nuts now.....off the wall bouncing, running, saying things that are just freaking hilarious! I can't wait for Tessa to start talking and watch them have conversations!

Umm yeah I was freaking out and not looking forward to the clean up at all.......But sometimes even me who's "upright" lets down my guard and likes to make a mess with my loves! It started out in the living room then somehow continued into the kitchen and back to the living room........sigh............

Colder weather is here to stay so no walks to the beach......now we bury daddy in the paper shreds! Who lets their kids do this?!?!?

Then we JUMP on daddy! haha Like I said CRAZY!

Now all cleaned up and a jam session with Gee Gee and his banjo! Also a sneak peek of the playroom half done!

Hannah jamming with her rattles, dressed in her dress up and high heel shoes! Music, dresses, shoes, we are in for it! :)

Trickin' it with Preschool....

Monday Hannah's preschool had a Halloween party with lots of treats, crafts, pumpkins and everyone in costumes! It was a good time! We were all excited!


My little lady baby and myself! Shes so unamused by me!

Girls Baptism

The day after Tessa's 1st Birthday party we had the girls baptized!! It was a beautiful service and the family was able to stay and we had our good friends there for the Godparents role! Perfect! 


Say what???

Between Mass and the Baptism service getting all her crazies out....hopefully  :o)

Father Jennings and Hannah

Parents and the Godparents

Hannah thought she was going to get to "go swimming" she was very cooperative. I was impressed! Shes a bit old (as well as Tessa) but after Hannah was born Remi was away for 6 months for training elsewhere, then he got back, we got pregnant with Tessa and decided to wait to do them together and wham bam a year later we finally got around to it! Whoa time flies!

Hannah is probably saying more water, more......shes a trip.

Tessa enjoyed it too! She was so calm and quiet and it was nap time :) My sweet baby girl!

Dewi (Remi's brother and Godfather) and the In laws with the wiggly girls!

Our family! And we are DONE! Well the girls were :) It was a great day, short and sweet service but that was all the girls could handle then we went home took more pictures, changed and headed out to eat! Yay for family filled days! xoxo

Thanks to everyone who came and visited us over that very important weekend!! We love you and thank you for everything that you do!!!

Tessa is 1!

2 weeks ago our friends and family came up to celebrate Tessa's 1st Birthday! It was an amazingly beautiful day!!! We rented a moon bounce mostly for all the older kids/dads! It was mostly Hannah's friends there and their parents and baby brothers/sisters! It was an awesome day and lots of food!!!

It was Halloween Themed since we love Halloween and we have a ton of decorations! The kids wore their costumes and jumped in the moon bounce all afternoon! :)

Tessa's Birthday Cake! A Teddy bear jack-o-lantern! :)

This big sister princess LOVED the moon bounce! But for her 3rd birthday she told us she wants a "pink moon house with a princess" You got it babe!

The birthday girl and me!! Don't ya just love Tessa's outfit?? My friend made her shirt and tutu!

Singing and drooling over the cake....."All of this for me"????

AND..........She loved it! Look at the grip and bite! Oh and the face of determination to take a big bite!!!!!

Still going at it!

All done and stuffed.......

Mr. Cool Dude Alex....who's going to be a BIG brother!

Hannah and Alex and Teddy jumping the next morning! Teddy jumped up in the moon bounce on his own! He loved to lay down and have the kids bounce him! What dog does that?!?!?

We had a lovely day with everyone! Thanks for coming and celebrating with us!!!

Last Saturday we took my friends girl and our girls to the Pumpkin Patch! It was a chilly fall day! Everyone had a great time! :) We played with the donkey, horses and chased the chickens then went picking! It was awesome!
