Happy Halloween!!!

Out and About

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend! 

Here's our latest life snippets:

School is back in session and Kalista's teacher came to visit today.  Our goals for the school year are to have Kalista say a few more words and phrases and of course, feed herself more.  She'll get there...we know it.  She has already kicked butt in the walking, smiling, hair modeling and looking cute skill set.

Jen and Matt celebrated their four year wedding anniversary today and celebrated with a nice sushi dinner at Sushi Deli 3.  Yum yum tuna and salmon! 

Because it has been so a muggy sauna here, we hit the pool this week/weekend.  It's all a blur when we went since the heat has melted away some of our brain cells.  All we know is that we had a refreshing time.

 Kali knows that she's gotta protect those precious eyes

Come join us for a swim!

Auntie Jeanette and Mike came to visit this past weekend.  We celebrated her belated birthday with a few tickets to a good 'ol game of baseball...yes....Giants vs Padres.  We're sure you all know who we rooted for.

With Jeanette's help, Jen ironed out all the wrinkles in how to make cake pops look more beautiful and tasty.  This batch was pretty good.  Yay Jeanette!

There were a lot of them flying everywhere.

 Watching the Giants kick butt! Go Kung-Fu Panda!!!

Kalista knew it was going to rain on us while we were at Petco Park. 

Her little hand caught a few raindrops.

Kalista picked out her Halloween costume this past weekend as well, so she is ready to go trick-or-treating.  We have decided to all be monsters of some sort this year.  Roar!!!!  Argh!!!! (whatever sound a monster makes)

Last but not least...HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE BILL!  Woo Hoo!!!

More Family In Town

Kalista is pretty excited that her grandparents are in town

We had big plans to go to the pumpkin patch today but the weather was a little bit depressing and we all decided not to go in the end. We did a bit of grocery shopping instead and spent time together for some good ol fashion family bonding. We ended the evening with a "hot pot" dinner, where you cook at the dinner table in a soup broth. Yum!

A little bonding with grandpa

Kalista also spent part of today trying on various Halloween costumes. Matt's sister, Kathy, loaned us some of their previous costumes to try out. Kalista fits the pumpkin costume pretty well. So cute! We were also given a daisy costume, but it's a little too big.

Jen is getting close to finishing Kalista's Monster Boo costume. Her fashion design skills are finally coming to good use. She still needs to make the booties and add some final details and then she will be completely done. Take a peek...

This is what the finished costume should look like
