Time flies when you're...barfing!

I have become one of THOSE people...updating my blog every month (or longer)! Since our Sacramento Apple Hill trip, we went back up to Big bear (the very next weekend) and had a great time. Then, the fun began! I had surgery to remove my wisdom teeth on the 20th. And, of course as soon as my mom left town, I got the flu. Yes, everything you are imagining actually happened while barfing with open wounds in my mouth. 'Nuf said.



I am feeling semi-recovered enough to go back to work that Tuesday, and Little Willie woke up in a puddle of barf. So, Big Will stayed home with him for two days. Poor little guy! But, he was well taken care of by Daddy (and Charlie Kitty - see below). In fact, he was bathed about 6 times in one day, and my floors got mopped - you do the math!





Then, we were off to Vegas to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Arizona Siggies. First night there, Big Will got sick. Third night there, cousin Rhiannon got sick. But, we managed to salvage a shopping day (or three) and hit up the Shark Reef Aquarium. We had a beautiful and moist turkey courtesy of Heather. Alas, I forgot my camera!



So....I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend AT HOME.

Sacramento Apple Hill Trip

The surgeon has lost his patience!

Ok, that wasn't very funny....but Dr. McDreamy was Dr. McScreamy - didn't want to wear his surgical mask, or hat...

YUMMY!!

Aya and "WeeWee" had a Halloween cookie decorating date last night.


They were supposed to be doing this....

They ended up doing this.....

And then this....

But, Willie gave the thumbs up!

October Visits

Papa driving the tractor at the nut farm, with all of his pumpkins: Tessa, off-center Willie, Anastasia, and Tave.

OK, this is really hard to post just a few photos...I could go on for pages, and pages. A couple of weeks ago, Grandma, Papa, Auntie, Uncle and "Anananas" came to visit. In that short time, we: had a couple of BBQs, went to the Pumpkin Farm, went to the beach, the zoo, AND the Wild Animal Park! It was a busy few days, to say the least. Here are just a FEW of the MANY photos. (Mom - upload your photos!)

Tub Time Fun!!

Lately, William's favorite hobby is bathing! He will go find his tub toys, bring them to me, and say, "Here it is!" as though it was ever missing...He has a blast. Getting him out is the tricky part. Squeaky perches on his "throne" to watch.

Pumpkin Patch with Aya

On Saturday, we went to the Pumpkin Patch with BFF Aya. They had a blast running around.

Here is "Willie" chillaxin on the way home from Bates Farm.

I like to call this one...DOUBLE TROUBLE!

Few random photos

Go White Boy, Go White Boy, Go...

Here are a few photos from Gabe's Rock Star Birthday party. Be sure to see the video in the previous post!

Video Killed the Radio Star

William (center stage, black shirt) is quite the little singer lately, and was excited to show off his talents at Daycare Sister Gabe's Rock Star Birthday Party. Hannah Montana made an appearance to lead the kids in some karaoke. William was a dancing machine - of the white boy kind! Notice the background chant: "Go Willie, Go Willie..."

William's First Date

On Saturday, William asked his buddy Aya to join him on a date. They went to see Abby in Wonderland at the movies. Daddy got William ready. He had his hair spiked, and a little bit of cologne, and he was ready to go! Mommy packed snacks, and William gave Aya some Sesame Street hair clips in a Zales gift box. But then, he wanted the Elmo ones for himself! They fed each other graham crackers, and checked on each other throughout the movie. Aya...Willie...Aya...Willie...Sssshhhhh...Elmo!
Then, we checked out the games...
And attempted to sit for a picture. Aya got her cheese on.
Then, we chased each other...
Rolled around on the dirty floor...
And, then William drove her home...And of course, they kissed goodbye. Where was mom with the camera on that one?!
