Jordan's new trick

Jordan holds his own bottle! He grabs for it :)

My brother!

Here he was this morning while playing with mama.....and here I am holding him in bed this morning before I went to school.

Field trip to the Pumpkin Patch!

Today, Grace and I went with my school to the pumpkin patch! Mama and Jordan were going to come, but Jordan has been sick so they stayed home. I spent most of my day with Kylie.

We picked out pumpkins and brought them home. I brought one for Daddy, one for me and Mommy to share and a baby pumpkin for Jordan.

We also rode on the train!

"Old" friends..

This morning, we received a surprise text from Michael and Elvia (Elle and Mason's parents). They used to live next door to us, but moved a year ago. They are back for a visit and were at the beach, so we decided to change our plans to go to the Farmers Market and head to the beach. I went and put my bathing suit and dress on....look at my bottoms. The pink belt should be around my waist!

Here I am playing in the sand with Elle...

...and jumping the waves with Daddy.

This week, we celebrated Sophia's birthday (on Thursday), but her birthday is actually today!

And, here are a few pictures of my sweet brother, Jordan....with Daddy and Mommy on a few nights this week when we had friends over. Here he was helping Daddy cook.

Giggling Jordan

From Mama....I caught my giggler on camera the first day he giggled (October 3rd). Funny thing is that it was the exact same age to the day that Gigi giggled.

Elena...

My sweet, dear Elena....thank you for being my friend. You were an incredible mama to your 5 children and a wonderful wife to Mark. Your strength in fighting to stay here with Mark, Xavi and Ivy and all those that love you was awe-inspiring. Your love and support of me during our days of creating our families and then when Eliza died will never be forgotten. I am heartbroken that you are not here anymore....you looked so beautiful and peaceful yesterday. I hope that the reunion with the triplets was better than you would have imagined. Peace.

While we were painting...

Jordan was napping...

Painting...with brushes, hands, feet and more

Nanny G got me some great paint supplies for my birthday. Above, you will see the spill-free cups for my paint. Below is the beginning of a fun painting play date with Meazi and Melese. You will notice that it started out with us using the rollers Nanny G gave me...but when it was time to mix paint and create other colors....well,

....we started using our hands to make pink from red and white and it all became

more of a body painting experience.

We were covered from head to...

hands....to...

arms to...

hair to ..... well, we were covered everywhere

Abbot Kinney Festival

This morning, before my birthday party, Mama, Grandma and Jordan went to the Abbot Kinney Festival..these are just a few pictures that show the color of Venice and why we all love living here. They went to breakfast and then walked the fair....Daddy and I went to the Farmers Market with Grandpa!

My 3rd Birthday Party

My birthday was last week, but we had my party on Sunday....and SNOW WHITE came! So many of my friends were there to help me celebrate.

We caught bubbles...played games and limbo...

Hugged a lot!

Decorated crowns and frames. Nanny G took pictures and printed them at the party so that everyone could put a picture in a frame they decorated.

Parachuting!

and got our faces painted!

even Jordan had fun!
