Fall, San Fran and Five Years


Cheese!  Adult getaway for four days!!!
(We both forgot our sunnies at home so we raided CVS for these cool $10 shades)









Five year anniversary gift to my Longhorn

















I can't believe tomorrow is our five year wedding anniversary!!!  The past five years have absolutely flown by.  In some ways I feel like that's such a good good thing (time flies when you're having fun!!!).  But on the other hand, it totally freaks me out because I know I'll be 70 years old in a flash.

A week ago Michael and I took off for four days in San Fran and Napa to celebrate and enjoy a dear family friend's wedding.  We had an absolute ball drinking wine, catching up with friends and family and even snuck in some wonderful spa time.  The kids stayed home with Cristina so it was extra relaxing not worrying about nap schedules and bath time.

I took Monday off work to spend all day with the kiddos.  We went to the Arboretum to enjoy the pumpkin festival.  The kids LOVED it.  We had a picnic, ran around like monkeys and just goofed off in the most perfect fall weather.  Afterwards we hit Michael's art shop to pick up supplies for the house and lake house.  We've spent this entire week painting, glittering and gluing our hearts out.

The babes are doing great.  Barrett is obsessed with naming his body parts.  He's still in love with Mickey and copying his big sister's every move.  Oh, and big news: He's using the big boy potty two to three times a day! Landry loves school, gym class and dressing up her princess dolls. She's in a big asking questions phase.  On our morning rides to school she asks me at least 20 questions from a random squirrel's name to why it's cloudy outside.  The girl makes me laugh nonstop.

Work is insane.  But what's new.  So much going on with the flea it's a little mind blowing to be honest.  But I'm so grateful and excited my heart could explode.

Looking forward to celebrating our wedding anniversary tomorrow.  We're holing up at the Mansion --- where we got married -- for a fancy dinner date and drinks.  Then off to the lake Saturday for some quality time with the kids and to avoid the crazy TX OU crowds around town.  Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
