so much to catch up on...

i went a whole month and didnt blog once...holy cow!! i felt like october was the busiest month ive had all year. it seemed like everyweekend on our calender was marked. we were here there and everywhere.

of course there was halloween. alexis was tinkerbell and taylor was a bumble bee. we got to go to a party at alexis school on friday then out for some trick or treating on saturday which was fun. the girls got lots of good candy. stephen and i got to go to a halloween party on another night. stephen was the tapatio man (the guy on the hot sauce bottle) and i was just a bunny. i didnt get any pics tho cuz we were having too much fun at the party.

on october 25th was our 4 year wedding anniversary and we went out to lunch and enjoyed the little break from the girls.

my parents celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on october 19th so my sister and i gave them a surprise party. we had some friends and family over and had food and of course cake. we made them cut it and feed each other :)
my little sister stephanie turned 21!!! the girls and i went out to dinner with her and some friends and had some fun.
october was the end of fire season so stephen has been back to one schedule for the last couple weeks. which is nice having him home for more then 1 night a week. ive just been home doing the usual, but i have been being adventurous and trying to cook more which stephen likes. we have been on the hunt for a house but with all the choices out there we just cant find anything that fits us. hopefully we can get one soon.
alexis is still loving school and is bringing home lots of fun stuff. she now has friends that we see at the store and its so cute when they say hi and talk to each other....she is so grown up already. she has learned the letters a - i (she can now write then and identify them) no matter what shes doing......watching tv, reading a book, driving around in the car.....she points out letters to me.

taylor is getting bigger and bigger everyday and is dying to go to school just like sister.

thanksgiving is just around the corner and then its the home stretch till christmas and new years. i cant believe that 2009 is almost over. ive just barely started shopping but at least i already have an idea of the gifts ill be giving this year. hopefully we can get our family pics done soon and getting our cards out soon after. well thats about all for now.....heres some pics!!!!
