Still away for the holiday...

We're still in California with Grandma and Grandpa.  It's rainy and grey outside but we're still managing to have lots of fun.

Here's a few pictures with the uncles at the duck pond.  

SO MUCH FUN!!

Proud Uncle Nathan...he would do anything for this little monkey!

Christmas highlights to come.... we have so many to share!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed the love of family and friends!

Hustle n Bustle

It's that time of year...we're running around like crazy!  Between shopping, visiting Santa, work, Christmas pageants, a baby on-the-go, church concerts, birthdays and the rest of life...we can barely catch our breath.  

Tis' the season!

Here's a recent photo of the girls...

these two put everything into perspective, we are truly blessed!

(More updating to come!)

Guess whose 10 months old...

ME!

Akira's 8th Birthday

The excited birthday girl!

For her 8th birthday Akira chose to have her party at Skateland.  I'm not going to lie, I was a bit excited myself!  She had so much fun skating and dancing to her favorite music!

The Party girls

Emery and mommy

The peace sign cake Nana made was perfect!

Akira is really into pink and black and peace signs :)

Present time

And the skating begins!

Last but not least, mom and dad's present!

We saved the best for last of course....

a new bike!

The skating party was a success and Akira had such a wonderful time with our friends and family!

Happy 8th Birthday Akira!

SO BIG!

Emery did it...she's crawling!  I got home from work on Monday and Emery was playing with Daddy...  We were all hanging out on the floor and she started to crawl to get to Daddy's phone.  Then anything I took away and tempted her with, she went after.

It was so exciting to see her cute little face as we cheered her on and clapped for her!

Here's a little video for you all to see.

Everyone has a little sassy in them...

When did our little girl get so big!  Okay she definitely still has a lot of growing to do but her personality is bigger then ever right now.  Here are a few pics of little miss showing off her 

sass-i-ness!

I'm a big girl now!

I told you...SaSsY!!

And yet another day where her personality was in full force!

I love this little one so much!  No matter how much sass she may give me I'll always love her!

Pumkin Patch

This was our second year heading out to MacDonald's Ranch Pumpkin Patch, only we had a new addition this year.  Both of the girls were so excited and interested in all the fun!

These were the expressions as we were waiting to get inside.

The Frey Clan

Mommy and Daddy Time

Us and Nana too on the hayride to pick out our pumpkins

Mommy's favorites!

Despite the face we think she loved the pumpkins!

We had such a great time and found the perfect pumpkins too!

Snapshots Galore!

I've always been a picture person but the number of photos that I take of Emery each day is remarkable! There are so many funny, cute, and even some sad moments that I just have to capture!! Here's a few of my favorites to celebrate 8 months with our adorable munchkin!

(These ones are for you Auntie Jess, thank you for my glasses...we miss you!)

The new Mr. and Mrs. Foley

On October 2nd was Leslie and Danny's big day! Despite the record high weather (note the colored fans us bridesmaids had), it was a beautiful ceremony and we had so much fun at the reception!! My Dad and Mom even came to celebrate, it was so good to see them!

Mrs. Foley!

I have more photos to post... my parents took most of the photos so keep a look out for more to come!
