November

November has been such a fun month. I love this time of year where their are so many holidays. I love spending that extra time with my family. It is even more fun now that we have a daughter to celebrate with.

Last weekend had to fun a bunch of errands to run and on Friday when I had the last of the errands to run this little man helped with Adalyn.

After we went to dinner with Wendy (Jeff's mama) and it was a lot of fun. We ended up at Macaroni Grill. We had fun and a good conversation. It is nice to spend time with her. I feel like we don't see her as often as we should!

Katelyn's friend Danni came into town from Texas. She came to meet little Taysom. It was fun. I wish I was able to spend more time with her while she was here but next time for sure! I went to Broilers with them and Brielle and my mom. I feel like Taysom is getting so big already!

During the week I started to grill up chicken so I can just have it ready in the fridge for a quick lunch or something. This girl loves to be outside, it doesn't matter what we are doing.

On Friday Liz and Hadley came over. It was fun to catch up with Liz. I sure wish she lived here in Fresno! We would be together all the time! I am so excited that shes pregnant again and expecting another little girl. Hadley kept asking if she could keep Adalyn and if she could take her home. She is going to be an awesome big sister. 

That night Jeff and I decided to stay in and watch Hunger Games. (Have to be ready for the new movie). Adalyn goes to sleep around 8 but she wanted to hang out with mom and dad until around 10. We were okay with that. 

On Saturday we took Adalyn, Braxton and Addison to the zoo. It was so much fun! I think Jeff was more excited to feed the giraffes than the kids were haha. Here are some pictures at the zoo. After we walked across the street and fed the ducks. 

                                                    All three of them in the back of the car.

After a long day this girl finally fell asleep. (She only likes to sleep in her crib lately)

After we went to the church musical. Brielle sang with Lindsay and they did an amazing job! After that we met Brendan and Katie at Doghouse for a late dinner.

This girl loves her walks. 

I know its November so people reflect more about things that they are thankful for and lately I have been feeling extremely grateful for everything that I have. My happiest moments are times with my family. I am blessed to have the family that I have. They mean the world to me. 

On another note I signed up for GB3. I can finally start working on getting my strength back from being on bedrest and also start to lose weight. Woo hoo. I know its going to be hard but it will be worth it. I see a personal trainer on Thursday :)

Fun busy week!

This has been a really busy week but has also been a ton of fun!

I have so much fun when my family all gets together. We all got together one night all the kids were able to make it and my grandparents. It as also a lot of fun because Katelyn's mom was here waiting Taysom's arrival. We decided to make it a desset night and my dad made crepes and my mom made caramel apples. They were delicious and unhealthy! My poor brother Brock even made it after his surgery that day. He cut his tendon the night before and they did surgery on it the next day. We were all secretly hoping that night that Katie would go into labor ;)

After everyone left Jeff and I stayed a little longer with my parents. We were looking through my baby scrapbooks and it is crazy to look at those pictures because Adalyn looked totally like me as a baby. It was fun to look back on all the memories. I am kind of bummed because this is the only picture I got that night but oh well!

I pick this little man up from preschool early on Fridays sometimes and boy do I love hanging out with him. He is the sweetest thing ever and such a stud! I just wanted to mention him. Here is his cute little preschool picture. This little boy has such a big heart. If someone is running out of a snack he would be the first one to take some of his and hand it over the person that doesn't have as much. He is such a crack up as well. Little Braxton.

Adalyn and I have started walking everyday and she loves being able to sit up in her stroller! Shes always trying to look for me if she cannot see me haha. She makes my world better. The love I have for her is unbelievable. 

This Halloween as a fantastic one! I gained a new little nephew! Taysom Jock Bogenschutz. It is my brother Brendan's first little baby. It is so fun to see him with Taysom. He weighed 7lbs 13oz and was 20" long. I could snuggle him all day. He is such a precious little guy and already so alert. Brendan and Katie are such great parents. 

That night I went over to my parents and we had chicken noodle soup and passed out candy. Jeff had class (bummer) but hes working so hard and I am so proud of him! Brock and Alyssa came over and Braxton and Addison got to trick or treat. I loved their costumes. This year I didn't want to spend too much on Adalyn's costume so I was looking in her closet and she had a red romper with polka dots. I figured I would just go out and get some Minnie ears and that was that. I figure I can spend a little more once she starts trick or treating. Braxton was the Hulk and Addison was Rapunzel. 

Today was a busy fun filled Saturday. My family went to Coney Island for Addison's 4th bday party. Belle was there as well. It was a lot of fun and all the kids had a ton of fun. 

After that Addie and I went to Emily's baby shower. I am soooo excited for little Harper to be here! I didn't get any pictures but it was a lot of fun with some really good yummy food! 

Excited for this up coming week to hang out with my loved ones and new little Taysom. I am so blessed to have the family that I have. I am so blessed to be married to my best friend and to have our amazing little girl.
