Beach in October...can't beat it!

 How can one not love Southern California's weather?! It is October and we are in high 80's enjoying the beach after a long productive day of boys' activities (swimming class at the Y and basketball practice with BFT).

I even got a chance to relax while the boys were playing. :)

Andre's 8th Birthday

Andre chose his favorite superhero for his cake and theme this year.

So blessed to have such a smart and athletic kid (not to mention silly). 

 All sweaty from jumping on the trampolines. 

Harper's 6th Birthday Party

After having a fun party for Andre at Mulligan's last year, Harper chose to celebrate his birthday there as well. Who can say not to arcade games, laser tag, miniature golf and go-carting?

Once again - the party turned out to be a success and everyone had fun - the kids (boys) ran as a gang playing games together. I almost felt bad for the three girls that were there, since they chose to stick by their parents instead.

 When Harper saw his cake in the morning he said: "Mom, I don't like it, I LOVE it!!!"

 We first had pizza, fruit and of course cake

 Boys will be boys. They were all antsy 'waiting' to get their wristbands so they could go play.

 Waiting for their turn at laser tag (Dante, Syi, Caleb, DaVon and the boys)

Christmas Lights

This year I decided to take the boys back to Rancho Cucamonga to Thoroughbred neighborhood to see the lights. (Last years light at Sleepy Hollow in Torrance definitely paled in comparison). We had a great time looking at overboard-ly decorated houses. Kids enjoyed eating churros and oversized cookies. See for yourself
