If you are the first born, you will have what your mother had but starting with the second, then third, then first. If you are the middle child, you will have 3, 2, 1. But if you are the last child, you will have exactly what you mother had .

Wedding Memories

I am posting these songs so that I can remember what we walked down the aisle to and also what our first dance was to. I love listening to them, and figured I would share with you too.

PROCESSIONAL SONG:





OUR SONG:

Thanksgiving

We had so much fun in Reno over the holiday. I dreaded the probable 8 hour drive it would take to get there, but since we left really late Wednesday night, it only took the usually amount of time. (whew!) We did get to witness some frightening temperatures because it was so late:


The chilliest I have ever seen in Reno

Claire hanging with cuz Scarlett

Jeff taking a turn with Scarlett

Grandma and Grandbabies

(Claire's shirt says "Everyone Is Thankful For Me" hehe)





Claire in pigtails= pure hatred for mom

But she sure is cute in them!

We also watched the UNR -v- Boise Game.

THE . BEST. GAME. EVER.

So proud of my school.

 For those who don't know about the game of the season (yes, that's right),

here's an article:

Go Wolf Pack!

Claire loves feeding her little baby her bottle. Of course, in between her sips!

Apple Hill Fun!

It will forever be a tradition in our family to venture to Apple Hill every year in October. We met our friends from Reno over Halloween weekend, and had a blast! How could you not with apple pie, cider, wine, (I smelled every glass Jeff had ) and beautiful views!

Happy Halloween!

This post may be a little late, but I couldn't resist posting Claire's adorable costume.

UNLV Golf Tournament

We went to Vegas this weekend so that Jeff could play in the UNLV Dental School's golf tournament with his brother and friend. They also played with a couple of recruits and were a stellar team. They won, with a score of 56! Way to go team!

Casey- Jeff- Chris



The Winning Team



Marilyn and me- The Cheerleaders!

Claire Loved watching the squirrels on the course

Claire could not stay away from any of the golf balls!

Joanna's Baby Shower

It's always fun when we girls can get together sans kids. This night we went to the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate Joanna's second baby. Our Group was so big this time, we had to take a picture from both sides.

We are excited for you Joanna! Congrats!

Tide Pooling

We FINALLY made it to the Tide Pools at Crissy Field this past month. They were few and far in between, but we had fun none-the-less.

Wonderful view of the Golden Gate bridge

Claire and Kaitlyn

Yep that's mud on her mouth! Yum!

Baby #2

Life is good....

Finally Fall!

Fall has to be the best season ever. The smells, colors, and weather can't be beat! I took Claire to Arata's Pumpkin Patch again this year. This time she could explore all the pumpkins and helped me pick out some good ones. We will truly miss the oppotunity to make this a yearly tradition and will have to find something like it near Reno.

Baby #2

Jeff and I really wanted to have our kids closer together so they will enjoy each other's company growing up. So here comes baby #2! Woo Woo! I am 11 weeks today and was able to hear the heartbeat! So amazing.

More to come....

Scarlett RoseMarie is Here!

Claire has a new cousin and Jeff and I are officially Aunt and Uncle! Woo Hoo!

Scarlett RoseMarie Hubbard was born October 8th @ 852 am.
She was 6 lb 13 oz and 19.5 in long.

We were so excited, we made a special trip to Reno this last weekend to see her. Totally worth it!

The bow is almost as big as her head:

Claire Loved her more than anything!

 We caught her quickly holding hands with Scarlett!
