Another month down, closer to Ryan's birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas!! YAY!!!!! October was fun, warm and quick.
We started the month off by celebrating this little guy on our Tuesday night dinner date. LOVE YOU BOO!
Hitting some PR's at the gym. 155 lbs, 10 reps on squats, HOLY MOLEY!
Mags and Ash have grown so much closer as she's gotten a little older. It's so cute to see their relationship.
And these 2, BFF's.
A rainy day splash sesh.
We got to meet our friend Colleen and Brando's newest little addition, Nicholas. She delivered him IN the ambulance! He is so tiny and sweet....
And totally gave me baby fever!
SO TRUE!
Silly face pictures from Mary and Maggie always brighten my day.
OMG my boo turned 5 and a half! This probably deserves its own post, but we will just recap it here. 5.5! How can it be true that she's almost 6? I still remember everything about when she was a baby, man I still remember when I was prego with her and loved every second of it! My boo, my bean, my love muffin and super sensitive one. She is such a lover it's unreal. I love to watch you grow boo and I cherish every single second I get with you. I feel like you're growing WAY TOO FAST. Seeing everything that you're learning in Kindergarten this year is just clarification at how big you're getting. I love your joy of learning, your love of numbers and your creativity. You are my big girl, my mini me, my cry baby (sorry it's true) but you are also my wise one, you are far wiser than your age. You are like a mini grown up and the words and phrases you say kill me and everyone. You're most recent one that has everyone rolling is, "oh my lanta." HYSTERICAL! You yell at us when we curse (and by curse I mean works like oh crap or oh damn), you are the rule follower, you are such a good little girl and behave so well. I am so proud of you and trust you so much. I believe you will do whatever you want to do when you grow up because you are such a hard worker now. You take such pride in your work, as you should. I love you bean sprout, always and forever ever.
At school on her half birthday, silly love. She taught herself how to roll her tongue like that too, never used to be able to do it. Now she's trying to teach me! LOL!
Yea, fashion nightmare! God I love her.
Fro yo trips that will no longer happen since they closed, BOOOOOOOO!
sweet pea
As we were leaving our neighbors pulled up. The girls were THRILLED to see Maddie and Sky, BIG GROUP HUGS!!!!
Her first homework, which is now a weekly thing. She has to draw or glue 4 items and write what they are that begin with the 'letter of the week' that they're on.
Oh my Ry ry, how did I get so blessed by having my best friend as my roll dog, always and forever.
Char sent me this pin one day of a wine bottle wrapped in a dress shirt sleeve and tie, HOW CUTE?! This year was my bosses 25 year anniversary with the company so we were going to celebrate her one night. I decided that this was the PERFECT opportunity to use this as a gift. How cute did it come out?!!!!
Out to dinner with some co-workers to celebrate her at Stage Left, YUMMMM!!!!!

At iHop one morning with Titi and Tio on Mya's day off, they were in heaven!

A night with Michael and Laura is always fun!
Arts and crafts with Nona.

Man night = girlssssss night!!!!! "Party up all night mommy!" As the girls always say. Girls night also always includes ice cream! We ventured over to froyo this one night.
Ash has been wanting to look 'fancy' quite often these days. She KILLS me in the heels.
"Wait mommy, take a picture by the tree."
Mya ran over too.
Daddy got to do drop off one day. LOVE!
We had Mya's parent/teacher conference in October too. When we were there we saw this adorable picture hanging outside the classroom. My girl LOVES babies!
Wishbone moments, Ash won.
Swim class and Ash wants to get in, of course, when I don't make her an appt. So she sat on the step and I always let her wear her suit anyway.

We started at this champagne bar, which was so cool, it was called flutes. We all did flights and got some yummy apps to snack on. Cheers to Laura and Michael!
Some (ok most) took shots, I wussed out as I knew I would never last the night with shots in my body.
Had to take a pic of the assortment of beers for my babe.
We ended the night at Café Wha, which was so cool. There was a band there that Laura wanted to see, they were awesome!
Mya won't take off the hat and tattoo sleeve from Pano and Stelio's birthday party.

Smiles for Aunt Julie, they love these toys. Mya has them in her classroom so feels so cool that she can play with them at home too!
