north carolina & disneyland

Lots has been going on since Ive updated my blog.. which has been a while. So I'm gonna dig deep into my mommy brain to remember everything.. Tony & I have known for a while we don't want to be in Vegas much longer, so we've decided to start our search for a new place to live. We have just been picking pretty random places we've always wanted to go or that seem ideal for raising a family & we're going to check them all out until one seems perfect for us. In August we went to North Carolina....

on the flight there..

 We had lots of fun in North Carolina & loved all the green, but it wasn't the place for us. 

we slept in everyday :)

We found our dream home. Seriously in love with this house.  <3

We went to Carrowinds amusement park which had a huge water park. We had so much fun! Warning to anyone who is planning on going there, skip the dinosaur exhibit... BORING! 

 We found the cutest park & made some friends there. 

Scarlett HAD to wear this tutu bathing suit everyday

 A few days before North Carolina we met up with Tonys family in California to go to Disneyland. Im sad to say I dont think we will be going back for a while. Scarlett was a total monster! She does not do well with huge crowds of people. She takes after her dad because he hates big crowds. But she loved seeing her cousin Xave. She had so much fun with him! They were the cutest together!

The only ride she liked was the carosel. She was scared of every other ride. 



















 Our last night there, Tonys parents watched all the kids so we could all go enjoy Disneyland for a few hours. We had SO much fun! We went on the last ride at 11:59 & we were one of the last ones there. I loved it!

feeling blessed

Fall is here. & we're excited! Today really felt like fall, it was pretty chilly out! Scarlett was in the halloween spirit this morning & used her witch fingers to eat her breakfast. 

sCaRleY MoNsTeR!

< --- This face! This girl was killing me today. I don't think i've ever laughed so hard. First she found the chocolate chips in the pantry. She was super sneaky about it though. I had no idea, she kept sneaking back in to get more, but then we cought her & this was her face.

Today felt like a baking kind of day, so we made our favorite chocolate chip pumpkin muffins. Scarlett was such a good little helper. 

tasting the batter. I think she liked it. 

YUM!

Bed time came & I forgot to bring Scarletts water up to bed.. so I told her to get in bed & mommy will be right back. I was expecting her to be playing or following behind me down the stairs, but this is what I came back to <3

Sleeping beauty. Night night <3

Here are a few more things that had me cracking up today.

"Hey mom! it's a bug!"... STOMP! "got it" :) 

...She goes back & forth between calling me mommy & mom. Hearing a little babe say mom sounds so funny to me. 

She grabbed her purse & said byyyeeee! Blew lots of kisses.. I told her I was sad she was leaving... so in her sympathetic voice she said "sad?" & she gave me a kiss & then said "hug" & gave me a bunch of long hugs & a bunch of kisses.. but only on my cheek, because she's an adult, of course. 

I looked in her purse & she had her cell phone in there. Im not sure why but it made me cRaCk UP!

Scarlett is soo much fun & soooo full of life & spunk. But that also means a lot of energy & a dash of stubbornness. So some days Tony & I are worn out! The other day I went to a girlfriends baby shower & I left Scarlett home with daddy since it was around her nap time. I called Tony to check on them & he answered in a panic saying "I can't talk right now! She's a monster! I don't know how you do this! Gotta go!" Is it terrible that it was music to my ears to hear my husband say I don't know how you do this?! It makes me feel like a little superhero ha. 

Until next time... even superhero's need to sleep. Night Night
