Paige's night with the girls

Last night we went to Shereen and Isa's house for dinner with Jonna and Matt. We had so much fun! I'm so blessed to have such great friends here in San Diego. Jerm had a great time with the guys, I had a great time with the girls and Paige had so much fun playing with Paige M. and Izzy. Shereen made really good fish tacos and the girls played dress up, kitchen, and anything and everything else they could get their little hands on. Here they are watching The Little Mermaid

And striking a pose for the camera
Jeromy was wigging out because this was the first time he'd been around when Paige played by herself with her friends. Usually we have an eye on her but last night we just let her play. Izzy and Paige M. are a year older than Paige so they can regulate (tattle) when needed! We checked on them every once in a while but for the most part they played by themselves. Paige is growing up so quick!

My little ladybugs

Nicole gave us Ava's old Halloween costume but it was a little too small for Paige! The sleeves were 3/4 lengths and the pants were capri pants. Even though it is too small, Paige still had a great time playing in it and that's all that matters!


Reyna and Matt gave us all of these cut bug/animal hats when Paige was only like 1 month old so Jerm put on the ladybug hat. What a goof! He was flying her all over the house.

Taking a little milk break

Uh-oh Paige is sleeping!

Tricked you! I'm actually awake!
Peek-a-boo!

Mommy's belly at 20 weeks

Baby Ty Ingram is here!

Sarah and Chess had a beautiful baby boy today. I talked to Chess and he said everyone is doing great! This is the only picture I have so far: They also have a little girl Stella who is 7 weeks younger than Paige. Sarah and I went through our first pregnancies together...a lot of phone time! And, now she's had a little boy and I'm pregnant with one! They will be about 5 1/2 months apart. I'm so happy for them!!

Daddy wears bows too!

I wish this picture wasn't so dark...I'll have to have Jeromy help me with it but if you look closely you will see that Jeromy has on one of Paige's biggest bows! Paige didn't want me to do her hair so Jeromy offered to let me do his hair too. She agreed so Jeromy got a little pony tail and a yellow and white polka dot bow! What a great dad :)

Pumpkin Carving at The Elleraas'

Tonight we went to Nicole and Chris' house to carve some pumpkins! We did this last year too so it has become an annual party for our neighborhood friends. Here's a quick group shot before Clare and Palmer got there.

trying to talk Paige into putting her hands in the pumpkin...not working

Mommy showing her how it's done...ewwwww!

Sara digging in. She is allergic to pumpkins but that didn't slow her down! Her nose got stuffy and she kept sneezing but kept carving!Paige and I carved a princess slipper! We bought a book of Disney princess templates and the slipper looked the easiest so that's what I went for. I've never carved a pumpkin before and Jeromy wasn't able to make it because of work so I had to step in and make it work. It was fun! Jerm was so bummed that he wasn't able to make it. After the pumpkins were done, the white clothed kiddos (this was what they had on under their costumes) hopped on the couch with Chris to watch a little baseball. Then my little monster climbed on Chris' arm to surf...wonder who she learned that from?!

Disneyland!

Disneyland!!! Paige and I had so much fun and took tons of pictures.

In front of the castle

on the merry-go-round...all by herself! I was right next to her of course :)

Eating a delicious and nutritious lunch. Paige is big into wearing her sunglasses when the sun is out. She asks for them now!

Entering Princess Land

Sleeping Beauty herself! We had to wait in line for about 45 minutes...which wasn't bad considering Shereen went the other day and waited 2 1/2 hours! Anyway, keeping a 2 year old in line for 45 minutes was interesting. I ran out of entertaining ideas quick and luckily Paige made friends with the little girls in line with us so they helped entertain. So we all know how obsessed Paige is with princesses so I was so excited to see her reaction when we walked around the corner and the little stinker could care less! Sleeping Beauty is her favorite right now so I thought she would pass out or something to see Sleeping Beauty first and she honestly didn't even have a reaction! I guess she is just too young to get it. She was more excited to walk around the store with all the princess dresses and toys after meeting all the princesses! After waiting in line you walk around the corner to meet 3 princesses and you don't know who's going to be there! I think we were super lucky with the ones we got :) Off to Belle we went. Paige had no reaction to Belle but was very interested in pointing out the circles in the picture! Belle was super nice and obviously a pro at this because she went right over and started pointing to the circles with Paige and asked her questions about where other ones were. What a nice girl :)

Paige got a little more comfortable with her but never really got too close!

off to Snow White

Waiting for her makeup! JK..these chairs are for face painting :)

We were on our way out and ran into the Fairy Godmother! I was so excited for Paige because she loves to say "Bippidy Boppidy Boo". But, little did I know that Paige was going to be scared of her! Of course this was at 3:30pm and Paige had no nap yet so I think she was just done but agreed to take a picture if I was holding her. She wasn't scared of any of the evil characters but was scared of the Fairy Godmother!!
Here's a picture of us after a LONG day! I was sooo exhausted and I think Paige was too! It was really fun and totally worth the effort. We're going to try and go back in November and December to get some more use out of our pass. We were watching the Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin :)

Halloween Party at the Park!

Sarah coordinated a Halloween party at the park for the gang. The kids looked so cute in their costumes. We have had so much fun this year with Halloween!!

Uh-oh...Mom caught a moment where the princess wasn't quite in her most presentable light!

Ava and Paige riding the (non-moving) dinosaur

Christian the rock star, Paige the princess, Austin the dinosaur and Carson the fireman playing in the sand...how cute!
