Family Picture

Please ... no comments on our most up to date, fabulous family photo hahahahahaha

Utah

For Thanksgiving this year, we headed to my parent's in Utah.  We endured a very long 15 hour drive, in the car.  OK, it actually wasn't that bad.  At least to me anyway.  I for one, would much rather just do some hardcore driving and get it all over with in one day, then EVER EVER have another Primm episode.  My kids were  born to road trip, and have spent more time traveling then most adults have throughout their lifetime, so of course they did great!  As for the husband ... well lets just put it this way ... he made it :)

So whether we head to my parent's for Thanksgiving or for Christmas, the guys have an on going tradition of going rabbit hunting.  Each year, they all load up and trek through the snow in their winter get up, and then they stop at some dive restaurant on the way home.  Once they get back, all us girls hear them talk about is this fabulous hunting trip.  Well, this year (I don't know why it took us soooo long) we decided that we would have a little day of our own.  

Now for all of you who are just dying to know what we did, well ... all you need to know is that we had A LOT of fun and took every minute out of that day we could, so those daddy's could have lots of bonding time with their children.  

 While in Utah, me and Cameron also threw Kim a shower.  Didn't Cameron do an AWESOME job on the diaper cake!  It turned out absolutely adorable.  We can't wait for Miss London, so show her sweet face!! 

 On to Thanksgiving.  The main event!

 Major highlight of our trip:  finally meeting the ever so handsome AIDEN!

I love this pictures, and so I am posting it ... so there

Thanks for your patients Utah famillia, and for letting me and Chiki do a little bit of catching up on sleep.  Next year, we will be back to our regular party animal selves!    

Halloween

Halloween, was a lot of 

fun.  The festivities 

started off early for me,

 Olivia, and Tyler at Olivia's 

preschool party.  All of the 

kids dressed up, we ate

 lots of yummy treats, 

and made

 some really fun crafts.

Carving pumpkins was a blast. 
 Even Ty, wanted to dig his hands in :)

Our SWEET neighbor Lynn, 
had a little get together for all the kids, before going Trick-or-Treating

A Visit From Kim & Jer

Aunt Kim and Uncle Jer, came out for a quick visit a few weeks back.  As always, we had a BLAST and needless to say ... the Carbajal circus apparently didn't completely scare them off from having any kids.  They are expecting in February!!

I have a feeling that Kim is not going to be too thrilled with my photo selection, but just look at Jer.   Mini sword fighting with Olivia

 Who you gonna call ... GHOST BUSTERS!  AWESOMENESS!!

My Lovie's

Tyler

This little man, pretty much rocks my world.  He is now 7 month old, loves to giggle, roll around the house, eat, and watch his sisters.  He hardly ever cries, and love to cuddle with his daddy.

Olivia

Olivia is my little spazz.  She is always so full of life, a free spirit, and knows what she wants and wants it right now.  She is my curly haired, thumb sucking, sweetheart ... who can run in heels better then I could ever dream of.

Hannah

 She is sweet, so smart, and the best big sister.  She loves to socialize, draw, and could be a super good "couch potato" if I allowed :)  Note: this little lady has the most pretty, huge, blue eyes you will ever see.  People used to think that Chiki and I would scare her before taking her pictures, when she was a baby because her eyes were always so wide open

Don't I just have the cutest kids ever!!

Atttention : Tooth Fairy

Dear Mr./Ms. Tooth Fairy,

After two years of watching all of my friends teeth fall out, guess what .... IT'S MY TURN!  Bring on the cash!!

Sincerely, 

Hannah

My Little Beauty Turns 7

My Hannah Banana turned 7, at the beginning of October.  I know every parent says this with each child's birthday, but man ... I really can't believe that Hannah is 7.  Seems like it was just yesterday she entered into out lives, and boy have we been blessed ever since!  She is such a sweet, little lady.  We have laughed together, cried together, and have fought our many battles with each other ... and we haven't even reached the teenage years yet.  I know right.  Wish me luck :)

We kept the festivities simple this year.  Our cute little neighbor really wanted to make Hannah some birthday cupcakes, so we had the baker Miss Kennedy over and her mom over for pizza.  It was one big party.  Someone was really smart and bought the ladies, each their own horns to blow.  There is a high possibility that the rest of us party goers, may have suffered a little bit of hearing loss.

Hannah and Kennedy

Any bets as to whether Hannah is my height or taller, by her 8th birthday??

Cabrillo National Monument

Chiki & I wanted to take the ladies, somewhere to check out some tide pools.  Since there are only two areas within the San Diego area that has them,  we headed to the one place we hadn't been ... Cabrillo National Park.   

The park is located on Point Loma, and costs only $5 to enter and has some of the most stunning views of the city, but if you are looking for a great place with the kiddos  ... this is not the place for you.  Unfortunately the tide pools were closed and so all that was left, was to hike around and read about the history of the area.  And for those of you who have kids, know just how enjoyable and relaxing that can be.  Sarcasm ... much, much sarcasm.

We easily entertain ourselves

The scenery

Since we were already in the car and 2 of the 3 chill in's had a stuffy nose, we decided to continue our drive around the south end of the county.  And that is how we ended up here:

All I can say is OOPS.  Enough said.

And then here: we met up with an old friend of Chiki's from the Navy 

"Fernando"

Man, us Carbajal's are productive.  Stuffy noses and all ha ha.
