Wyatt's Super Hero Birthday Party!

Tyler's little budy always has such a fun birthday party. It makes it even more fun since it is usually on or around Halloween and everyone gets to dress up! This year Wyatt had a "Super Hero" party. I love how Lisa's brothers always dress up! It makes it so much fun and they are hilarious! Tyler was Thor since that is Captain America's (Wyatt's) friend (I guess... I have no idea)... Bud was even a good sport and wore a Superman Shirt and I wore a Superwoman shirt. And Alyssa even had her own little costume!

Our trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Fall is one of my favorite times of year. I love the weather change and the feel of the Holidays approaching. One of our favorite traditions is to visit Pa's Pumpkin Patch every year. We always try to go when it is not so crowded during the day. Since I was still on maternity leave we met one of my best friends Lacey and her little pumpkins and made a day of it. Tyler loves running around with little Jaxon... they were so cute!

I love that Tyler is still such a little ham when it comes to pictures!
Isn't he ADORABLE! Love him!

It might not look like it, but I SWEAR Ally had fun too! LOL

Alyssa's Pink & Grey Nursery

When Tyler was born we still lived in Buds beautiful 1 bedroom condo by the Marina. I didn't get to have fun decorating a Nursery for him. So I went a little overboard with Alyssa's. Not only did I get to decorate a nursery but a GIRL nursery! At a certain point Bud told me to calm down with all the pink and ruffles, but I just couldn't help myself. Here are a few pictures of the Nursery before she was born. We've added some things here and there. I'm a bad mommy and don't put her to sleep in her crib... she likes to cuddle with me. But it still looks pretty in her room!
 
We got her bedding from the "Baby Guy: at the OC Swap Meet. I picked out the fabric myself and designed it. The owner said so many of his customers wanted to buy it when he had it out waiting for us to pick up. I should go into baby bedding design! LOL

I searched Etsy for the perfect quote for her room and was so happy when I found this one!

Love the soft colors. It makes it feel so calm and relaxing in her room.

Her bow collection has tripled in size since this picture thanks to Danicas Chic Bowtique!

A Pink Paradise!

Tyler brought this pink elephant to Alyssa in the Hospital

I love the butterfly mobil my friend Jenny got us!


Also loved these set of frames we picked up from BabiesRUs. I was determined to have a comfy gluider when I got pregnant too and this is the perfect one. It reclines. You can practically sleep in it!

Alyssa 2 Weeks Old

We could not have asked for a better baby girl! The moment she was born she has been so mellow and calm. We have to be the luckiest parents alive to have a newborn that sleeps the entire night! That was the biggest thing I was worried about before she was born. Tyler was such a fussy newborn. We would literally take him on car rides in the middle of the night to get him to sleep. But I honestly think we just didn't feed that poor boy enough, he was probably starving! Alyssa has a booby milk buffet right before bed and she sleeps nice and sound for 8+ hours. I have to actually wake her up on some mornings. I think she is a lot like her mommy and loves to sleep in! :) She also has the sweetest little personality already. Tyler just loves his sister. Our family is truly complete.



I saw this cute idea on Pinterest.com and have done it for her every month. I can't wait to display them on her birthday!

Our sleeping Angel!
Just can't get over those Chubawuba Cheeks!
Alyssa's BFF Harper came for a visit!
