Happy 31st Zwabes!!!

Yesterday was Casey's 31st birthday. Instead of just celebrating for the day we spent the whole weekend celebrating... much more fun than just 1 day, why not 3?
Saturday afternoon I packed an overnight bag and Casey and I took off for the weekend. First we went to see The Dark Night, which we have been dying to see and is now, finally, at the dollar theater. Loved it! Heath Ledger did an amazing job!
Next we went off to Anehiem to check in to our condo to chill for a little bit. Then it was off to Cheese Cake Factory for dinner... uh, avacado egg rolls anyone! Yummm! After dinner we had to walk off the 5000 calories we had just consumed, so we walked over to the Garden shops to do some window shopping. Knowing that it was opening weekend for the new James Bond action we had to check out movie times and since we almost never go to the movies anymore, we figured, why not... tomorrow we get to sleep in, so it was off to the 10:20 show.
The next day we slept in, ate in peace enjoyed a little football and slept some more. Around 5pm we went back to pick up the children who were being lovingly cared for by their favorite aunt Autumn, who always is so willing to help out. We appreciate her so much, thanks Autumn for making our weekend get away possible.
The 3 musketeers spent the night with us Sunday night at the condo. The next morning around 8am we were pleasantly awoken to the sound of 3 giggly little munchkins singing "Happy Birthday" from the living room. So, so cute!
After a yummy pancake breakfast it was off to Disneyland. It was a perfect day. The park was empty. We got to do every ride we wanted to including the new toy story mania, which was really cute, and the finding nemo submarine ride. We haven't been to disneyland yet on a day less crowded, it was perfect.

Hope you had a great birthday weekend babes, I know I did. I love you!!!

HALLOWEEN!!!

Aunt Autumn saves the day.... the girls were getting tired by the end of the night and wanted to be carried. I carried Eva for awhile but started have lots of Braxton hicks, so Autumn took a turn with princess Eva. Thanks Autumn for all your help with the children (all the time) they love you so much!

Holidays are so much fun at this age. The children had a blast trick or treating, running from house to house. I love halloween, it's my favorite time of the year. I am missing Utah like crazy right now. It was probably 70 degrees last night, not my idea of halloween weather. Last night the channel 7 news said that this has been the hotest October on record in So Cal, I say "Boo" on the warm weather.
Casey planned a wonderful evening out for my birthday last weekend. He had a yummy breakfast for me that morning and then took charge of the children for the day and then that evening he took me to the fabulously delicious melting pot! Fondue, yummmm! Our great friends Shelley and Jason joined us for the evening and it was fun to be out as couples with no children. Thanks so much Casey for a much needed date, you always know how to spoil me. I love you... and thanks Jase and Shell for hangin' with us, LOL!

Casey put this card together for me from the children.
