Pumpkin Patch
A few weeks ago we took the girls to the pumpkin patch. We live on Eagle and Victory so it was super close to our house. Every time we went somewhere the girls just had to see the monster. Well...let me tell ya...we went inside the famed "creature" and decided it should come with a warning for smaller kids...not really for them. Other than that it was a ton of fun.

1st Anniversary Happenings
We started our shin-dig on Saturday evening. We got a room at the Anniversary Inn. By the time we made reservations on Saturday morning there were only three rooms left- Hawaiian Paradise, Lighthouse or Enchanted Forrest. We decided to go with the lighthouse and we are happy we did. After I got off work on Saturday I went home and picked Louis up and then we headed downtown. We checked into the room and even though we got a pizza dinner with our room we decided we wanted something else to eat. We didnt want to leave the downtown area but wanted Italian so we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory. It was super good. After that we went back to the room and hung out all night. Sunday morning we woke up and had our breakfast- they deliver it to your room, and it was delicious. After breakfast we went home and got ready for the day. Then it was off to Verizon to get my new iphone...super excited!!! We grabbed some lunch after that and then went shopping for some shirts for work, and then we went up to JoAnns to buy fleece for a blanket for Zoe. THEN sticking to tradition we went to Bardenay for dinner and went to Barnes and Noble after that. It was exactly what we did on our first date, and we have decided that we will do it every year from here on out...cute. It was an amazing weekend. I look forward to many more.

What's Happenin'
Sorry that it has been ages since I posted anything good...we've been busy. Everyone is doing awesome and the hum drum of everyday life continues. Here is the skinny on us-
Bella~
Bella is doing super good in school. She loves Longfellow and fits right in down town. Her dad and I both really like that it is an inernational focus school, and that she gets to learn so much about other countries and their cultures. Her reading and math skills have gone off the charts and we are super proud of all the progress she has made. Way to go awesome baby!!!! :)
She is playing soccer this fall and is killing it. It is her third year and it seems to have finally clicked. The past couple years have been a lot of roaming around the field and cartwheeling, but this year she's really getting in there and playing. She will also continue skiing this winter. She is a demon on the hill, so we want to encourage her to pursue that if she likes it.
She has decided to be a blue ninja for Halloween this year, so we have started the quest for that costume along with the sword she insists she needs to go with it.
This last weekend she went to Montana with my parents for four days- by herself. They went to watch cousins play in soccer tournaments. I missed her like crazy, but she did really good and had a blast.
Zoe~
Zoe goes to school at the YMCA downtown and is LOVING it. She has a slew of buddies and every morning is anxious to go see her friends. She is one lucky cookie, because her teacher also happens to be her cousin....a few degrees separated- she is Jason's cousins wife, but hey it's all in the family. Zoe loves Connie and let me tell you, Connie loves Zoe.
Zoe is not in any extra curricular activites- she chooses not to be. She is perfectly content to just hang out with us, play, ride her scooter, and whatever else. She doesn't need the constant diversions that Bella needs- she is way more mellow than either her sister or mother! :) Regardless, I think next year she will HAVE to be in something. Music, dance, soccer, whatever, but she is going to have to decide on at least one activity.
Zoe wants to be Rapunzel, or Tangled, for Halloween. She wants hair all the way from the bathroom to the park. Ha...good luck on that one Zo...you have to quit cutting your hair first. :)
AND......
as for Louis and myself- we are awesome. We love our new house and the location is killer. Finally getting everything settled and put away. It's hard to combine two houses into one. What to keep, what to throw away, what to put in storage, what to replace....the list goes on, but we are getting there. We have decided the first order of business is to get the girls' room done, and then after that we want to buy a new couch set. All in due time- other than rushing to get the girls room done, the rest can wait.
We are coming up one our one year anniversary. I'm not sure what we are going to do but I'm sure we will find some way to commemorate the day! :) It's hard to think that a year has already flown by. We have so much fun together and every day is better than the last. He is my best friend and lover rolled into one and I couldn't ask for anything better. He totally completes me. :)
I got a new job and it's going really well. My schedule works well with Jasons and it allows me more time with the girls. I have nothing to complain about!
thats it kids....the low down on us. I will try to be more apt in my posting now that things are settling.
