Halloween

we celebrated tia's big 3-0 on halloween eve this year. we skated till our toes were numb. tia's ugly betty was spot on. so was peter's dawg the bounty hunter. emily & josh were zombies.i think it's obvious what ashley, john & tia's mom all are. i was farrah fawcett (unfortunately my hair didn't turn out too well) adam's a guy from the 80's- chris was the corps bride- & ryan well i think he just wanted to wear short shorts & grow the back of his hair out.


on halloween elsa had her first official trick or treat experience at my moms. then we headed down to PG to visit GG- then over to jeron & eliz' to trick or treat some more

little pookie was a dancing bear- k a mummy- & gramps (i know we need a better nickname for ida) a dancing skeleton

Sooo Good

My neighbors carved their pumpkin the night before halloween. Yes it's still attached to the vine hanging over the fence.

still life with adam

I love that the apples in the last picture look kind of sexy...




husbands really good with the camera

Oh Elsa!

lately i'll leave the room for a minute & when i come back i'll find elsa over by ida doing something to her. the day before this picture was taken i was in the kitchen putting my cereal bowl away & i could hear ida making a strange sound so i ran back into the room to find elsa sitting on ida who had rolled over onto her belly. funny thing is she didn't seem to mind. her eyes follow elsa around the room all day long. it's pretty cute.


elsa loves hats- this one's adams

Super Excited About These Two

Chris' Birthday Weekend- Yes That Is A Pumpkin Pinata

stacy- baby ida & i went to cali to have one last girls weekend before chris & courteney move from their amazing four-plex in west hollywood. you walk out her front door & turn right- a few blocks away is melrose avenue with urban outfitters on their corner- you turn left there's the grove. i've had so many great trips to chris' in the last 5 years. i may miss her place more than she does.

this is a start of a whole new life for chris & courteney & even stacy (more on that later) so the weekend was filled with great memories & even more exciting thoughts & ideas for the future. thanks chris- court & camille for being such rad gals & never once complaining that there was a baby on board.
