I am sorry I have neglected you. My life has been in the fast lane for the past few weeks. We have had so much going on but to say the least we are having fun doing all of it. Rylee's school work is my main priority right now. Even though she is in Kindergarten we are trying to get her involved with everything as much as possible. Not just in school but out of school as well. My only day to get things done anymore seems to be Mondays, and here I am uploading pictures and writing on my blog. Our weeks right now consist of Gymnastics, Art Classes, modeling and Soccer. Not to mention the many doctors apts. I have had for our sweet Presley. May not seem like a lot but it has me running around. On top of that we are doing homework, lots of reading and projects for school. Speaking of Projects who knows how long ago Rylee took home her class bear Honeysuckle. We were very proud of her because in order to take this bear home you have to obey the teacher everyday and have all the kindergarten "rules" down pat. She is always telling me she listens to her teacher and raises her hand politely. She is always patient and does her work then talks when she is done. For the weekend we took Honeysuckle everywhere we went. Rylee took very good care of this bear because she didn't want to be the one to loose her. (I don't blame her.) As soon as Rylee got home from school she wanted to make Honeysuckle her own tutu. Then we took her to Gymnastics, Soccer, and over the weekend Rylee packed her up in a backpack with a book and blanket. We had pinkberry yogurt and took a ride on the carousel. She insisted on bringing Honeysuckle to Chruch on Sunday. I really thought Honeysuckle would be gone after that but Rylee kept a close eye on her. We then wrote a story and posted lots of pictures of our time with her. So glad that weekend is over!



We have been trying to get in the Halloween spirit. We went to Tanaka Farms in Irvine to pick Organic veggies, and to Bates Nut Farm in Valley Center to pick lots of pumpkins and see Becky her girls, Ama and GG. It has been a lot of fun!








Our friends son Logan turned 2. We had such a good time celebrating his special day in the desert.



After the party we went camping in Joshua tree. (right outside of Palm Springs) We went with CJ's parents and Ty. Our kids love Ty.. There is just some people they really attach themselves to and she is one of them. It was a great night away. It was so peaceful out in the desert. We went Rock climbing, lizard catching, and made lots of good memories.
Isn't this a really cool picture of the moon. I took my zoom lens and got as close as I could and then once it was on the computer I zoomed a little more. You can see the craters and all. One thing I really love about the desert, there is no smog or pollution and you can lay on your back and watch all the stars at night. It's so peaceful and quite.




Last but not least, we are so thankful that our baby's (Presley) Kidney is reducing in size. It really is a miracle to us. Months ago we were worried we would have to fight the difficult challenges of raising a down syndrome child. Or maybe not even be able to meet our Trisomy 18 little girl. That is all in the past we and we are really looking forward to the day we meet this princess. Her siblings are very anxious as well. She will complete our family, and we know she is already a blessing to us. I am now 32 weeks and time is going quickly. At Logan's party the photographer snapped a picture of my tummy. I have a funny feeling Presley will be just like her brother and sisters. ONE LARGE baby. Regardless, we are counting down the days to meet her.
