Happy Monday!

First of all, I have to start off by saying Happy Veterans Day! I have such a deep feeling of gratitude when I think about all the men and women who have put their lives in danger, some giving their lives for the sake of our country and our safety. I am proud to say that my Dad was one of those people who served to make the world a better and safer place. Thank you PopZ!

I woke up this morning, as I do just about every morning lately, to the sound of Ashley crying. By the time I got to her room Alec and Aaron were already up also and in there with her. They had dragged the chairs from the little table in her room over to her crib and were standing on them. They were taking all of her toys and dolls out of her toy bag on the front of her crib and laying them all around her while telling her, "It's ok baby Ashley, don't cry!" SO DARN CUTE!! What a way to start the morning!

Since today was a holiday my Mom, my sister Amy, myself and the kids were all available to hang out. We decided that since Amy's wedding is only a month and a half away that we would head up to LA to go shopping for some wedding stuff. We headed up at lunch time and after some trouble finding parking (it was crowded) we headed out to scour the garment district. Through all of our shopping we were able to get a beautiful head piece for Amy, the ring bearer pillow, flower girl basket, guest book, garter, and material to make the flower girl dresses. What a productive day!!

I have been doing so many photo sessions with the kid-o's lately and there are so many good pictures. As you can imagine the hardest one to get is of all three, sitting in one spot, looking at the camera, and smiling. Yeah, like that will EVER happen. Here is a picture that is about as close as it can get to all those things.
Look at those sweet faces, am I the luckiest Mommy in the world, or what???

That pic was fantastic! Were there bribes involved? Please e-mail me that one. For some reason it reminded me of "The Christmas Story" (from the 50's).

All three smileing will happen eventually...like when they are all grown up and happy to be siblings again hahah. You'll have to wait a while, but I promise it will happen!
