I had to get my wedding dress out for a Young Women activity. I had fun running around the house in it! I had the girls laughing very hard. I loved when I let them put the veil on. Okay, maybe just sydney loved it. As you can tell Paige wasn't that crazy about it. I wish I could be a bride again!

Our Halloween Party was a blast! The kids had a great time and the parents were able to sit and talk. Though it is a lot of work, I look forward to doing it every year.

We went last saturday to Oak Glen with the Child's. It was a perfect day, perfect fall weather! The kids never sat down the whole time. Of course running after Sydney every five seconds got old, but hey it just worked some cardio into my day. We hope to return every year for more fun.

Aaron took Coby to a Monday night football game in Pittsburg. Chris was starting and it was a great game! ( I watched on t.v.) Coby has a blast.

coby is now an offical football player for the Placentia Steelers! I think football runs in the "Hoke" blood. He loves it. Everyday he asks me if it's time to go to practice and when I pick him up from practice it takes me forever to get him off the field. Go Steelers!!!

We had a fun summer. We ended it with a whole week at the beach with the child Family. Lots of fun. We enjoyed bike ride, Brian making a HUGE pancake breakfast, nights on the pier, and long days on the beach.The boys were exhausted by the end of the week, as were the parents.

The girls are finally a year old!!! The party was great. I can't believe that they are already a year old. Time has gone by so fast. They are the best! I'm so grateful the Lord finally blessed me with them.

I love being a mom. Today Iwas was thinking about how I am truly blessed to have these children in my life. I just can't get enough of them (okay..maybe I still crave bedtime) but I know it gets only better as they get older.

We just got back from our trip to Hawaii with the Mac's, Minors and Weavers!! We took Coby and the girls stayed home with grandma and grandpa. It was a fun trip. Coby went non-stop the whole time. On the last night there, he was sooo tired he slept from 5:30pm to 6am the next day. He never woke for dinner or even to have birthday cake!! If you know coby it's a miracle he didn't get up for cake! We love our friends and love that the Mac's invite us on trips. It was the best time ever and it ended way too soon.

We love cousins!! This was taken after a fun day in the pool!

Happy 7th Birthday Coby!!! I can't believe that he is seven years old! It goes by so fast. I sound like an old woman saying that!! But it's true. I love being Coby's mom. He is the best little boy ever.

I love You Coby

Love,
Mama

Can't wait to eat!!

This is my favorite picture of the girls right now. My little sister Erica is living with me for the summer and I am loving it. We never really "lived" together since I was married by the time she turned eight. Getting to really know her is fun. We are a lot a like! Having my other sister Michelle live with me would just complete the package!! Erica is helping me out a lot with the girls and it's nice to have someone to just hang out with during my crazy days. I fear I won't know what to do with myself when she leaves in August!! Love you Erica!

We spent Memorial Weekend at my grandparents beach house. All month long I have been looking forward to hitting the beach with the kids! Then came the rain!! It rained most of the weekend and Sunday night it poured at the beach. However, the sun did come out in the afternoon and we took the kids down to the water. The girls and I stayed fully dressed because it was still chilly, but Coby and his cousin Ethan didn't care. Coby spent most of the time in the water!! Sydney and Paige loved the sand. I couldn't get syndey to stop eating the sand. I'm still finding sand when I change her diapers! It's probably giving her colon a good scrub! Despite the not so perfect weather, it ended up being a really fun day! Thanks to my parents and grandparents for letting us crash with all our kids in a two bedroom apartment.

I bought these hats for the girls to get ready for summer. We've been in the pool a couple of times so far. Plus, I'm "training" for a 1/2 marathon so now we run outside. So we need to keep our skin covered!!! No skin cancer for us!!

This is Sydney's favorite spot. She is our climber. I think she is going to be one of those kids are need a net around their crib so they don't fall out. She is already trying to get out of her crib.

Aaron went to his grandmother 80th b-day party ! He had a fun time spending it with family. the kids & I skipped this trip because the weekend before we had just been in Las Vegas at his brother Brandon's wedding

Two very unhappy girls!!

The girls were going crazy one night while I was trying to make dinner. So I put them to work!! It was kinda fun...but they really aren't the best helpers. Dinner was a little late that night.

Yummy!!

Dinner time

My three Wonderful Children..

Sassy Sydney!!
