The Zoo with Cousins

We had a great time spending the day at the SB Zoo with my cousin Josh and his 2 boys Jackson and Hudson. Ashlin loved running around the zoo, trying to keep up with 2 high energy boys. Westin was very entertained watching everyone.

Our Christmas...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! We had such a great holiday at the Farm with Nana Lou and Papa Les. Christmas morning was so much fun, Ashlin was so excited for everything. We ate a lot, drank a lot and had lots of laughs together - we have such a great family!

Hand Made By Ashlin Rae

Ashlin made this heart ginger bread cookie at school today! She was very proud of herself and even waited to eat it until after she showed me - so cute!

Saturday Afternoon. Kevin and I had a special afternoon with Ashlin today. We took her to her first performance of the Nutcracker Ballet at the Arlington. She did great and loved it!

Santa Visit 2011

We had a fabulous visit with Santa this morning. Ashlin ran right up to him and jumped in his lap wanting to talk about his reindeer. Westin sat in his lap but wasn't exactly thrilled (thus no smile). We then walked through the mall which was beautifully decorated - so much fun!

Thanksgiving DAY!

We had a super fun Thankgiving at our house. I was busy working a horse show from Tues-Fri in the morning (my clients rode great earning a few 1st places - everyone was happy!) So Kevin and Mary Lou worked their magic in the kitchen, whipping up some fabulous food. My parents, Grandmother and Corey all joined us.

Thanksgiving at the Wissel House!

We had a SUPER SATURDAY at Frank and Maggie Wissel's house for an early Thanksgiving dinner and celebrated with the whole family. It was great. A HUGE thank you to Maggie and Frank for all entire event, you guys really go above an beyond with the food, the tent and the fun atmoshpere. The kids had a fabulous time playing together!!

Ashlin loves her sunglasses

Miss Ashlin Rae loves her sunglasses, she insists on wearing them all the time!!

Happy Halloween 2011!!

We had a great Halloween. I took the day off. We all dressed up and took to the streets of Montecito on Coast Village Road, there were tons of kids all dressed up and was super fun.

Halloween comes EARLY!!

We have been getting lots of use out of our Halloween outfits. Last weekend we went to Boo at the Zoo, this week we went to Lane Farms Pumpkin Patch and of course there will be Halloween night also. Ashlin is a Bumble Bee and Westin is Batman. Westin is fully walking NOW!

A night in HOLLYWOOD

Mark, Lo Lo, Corey, Kevin, Aimee and I got all dressed up and drove to Hollywood Friday night to preview a movie starring TJ Thyne (John Thyne's brother) called Shuffle. He also produced it. I loved the movie. It was a super fun, late night - as always good times with the family.
