October-December

I keep telling myself "this time I am going to keep my blog up to date." Lets see if I can actually do it this time, I wouldn't count on it though! 
 Back in October Jordan's school had the firemen come and let the kids have a little tour around the firetruck. Jordan had so much fun with his little friends.
 For Halloween, Jordan chose to be Darth Vader, we thought about who Alia could be from Star Wars that is cute and little. R2D2 of course! I just had to make her costume girly by adding the tutu and flower! 
Jordan wasn't totally into trick-or-treating, we didn't make it too far before he wanted to sit in the stroller and go home. 
 We had a blast at Disney on Ice. I thought Jordan would get bored and want to go home halfway through, but he was entertained the entire show. 
 We went home to Utah for Thanksgiving so everyone could meet our sweet Alia! Josh's dad and step-mom are so good to have Thanksgiving dinner the Sunday before Thanksgiving so we only have to go to 2 dinners instead of 3! 
In the first picture Jordan is helping with the relish tray, then he had to take a break to be with his sister. In the biggest picture the kids are all playing so nicely! I was impressed, Jordan isn't the best at sharing! 
The last row: Josh watching Alia (he would poke he with that foam sword every now and then!), everyone chatting after dinner, and sword fighting with cousins. 
 These are all just random pictures from our trip

Jordan and Rem playing video games, and loving on Alia


 When we got home from Utah we decorated our house for Christmas, and our Elf on the Shelf started coming. It took Jordan a few hours to come up with the perfect name for him, Little Elf. Very creative, isn't it! 


 
Top pictures are just from us hanging out at home:
Jordan loved my Christmas village so much he made one of his own with his Batcave, Blocks, and cars.
Loving on his sister
Making Alia so food while she plays with her toys, he loves his sister so much!
Bottom: Jordan's Christmas Program at school, doesn't he look nice all dressed up! We love that little man!

Hopefully soon I will get the updated! 

Grandma and Grandpa B Came to Visit

In all the excitement of our sweet baby girl arriving, I somehow forgot to post pictures from when my parents came to visit. About 2 weeks before we had Alia, my parents and nephew, Remington, came to visit for a week. 
They brought the boys to Disneyland for a day. They had so much fun, Jordan still talks about it! 
After Disneyland, they stayed in a hotel and went to the beach the next day. 
The same days they were gone, Josh was in LA for a few days for work, so I was by myself for 2 whole days. I didn't even know what to do with myself, it was so nice!! 

One evening we went to the park, during the summer you have to wait to go to the park until after dinner cause its way too hot to go before! 
We had so much fun when they came, we are ready for their next visit (hopefully its not too long before they come again)!
