Christmas came early...

On Friday the Fed Ex came to the door.  As I answered the door, he requested my signature for a small envelope.  He said "looks like tickets!"  I said "REALLY??"  Then he said "uh-oh.  I hope I didn't ruin a surprise." 

Unfortunately I have one of those brains that puts surprises together WAY too quickly and that was the icing on the cake.  I was growing suspicious of my dear hubby all week, he was just way to into my Saturday night. 

Well...turns out...he bought me tickets to WICKED!!!!  And...he got a babysitter!!  So off to LA we went for the greatest show!  We went last night...it was heaven.  My sweetie is such a sweetie. 

We had a great time.  It was the BEST show.  It was so wonderful!  Did I mention that I liked it??

Funny kids

I was going through all the pics on my camera and I found this one.  They are such Hams!! :)

The giggles...

These two are constantly making each other laugh.  Every time they are giggling, it warms my heart.  I love that they love each other so much.

Right Now...

Right now...
 1.  Jaxon just asked if his friend, Aaron, would like a juice bag.  He said it so politely.
2.  Michael Buble is on the radio, singing "It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas."  It's gonna be a good afternoon.  I love Buble.
3.  Ella is sandwiched between Jaxon and Aaron.  She does not want to miss ANYTHING.
4.  I leave for Albuquerque in 11 days.  I cannot wait.
5.  My Christmas shopping is NOT done, nor will it be any time soon.
6.  I cannot wait to start baking.
7.  As of today, I have lost 8 pounds.  I have a feeling that when I start baking, that number might change.
8.  I miss my Richie.  He has been working so much.  This new job is bound to kill him. I hope he doesn't die.  I really love him.
9.  Ella does not fit into her pants.  They are too small.  The next size is too big.  Oh geez.
10. It is 68 degrees.  Christmas??  Really??

Hey...Look at me!!

Look who is standing up?  She is so proud of herself! :)

Happy Halloween!!!

Is it a bird?  Is it a plane?  No...it's CAPTAIN AMERICA and his trusty sidekick...Miss Bumblebee! 
Happy Halloween from the Rich Family! We hope yours has been as much fun as ours has been!

Pumpkin pickin'...

We had half days all week last week!!  So Richie took a half day at work and we decided to something "fall-ie".  After a bit of scouring, I finally found a decent pumpin patch!!  (Although I just found out that there is a REALLY good one in Redlands...maybe next year.)  We headed down to Irvine on Wednesday and checked out Tanaka Farms.  We had a lot of fun!  We got to go on a hayride, pick pumpkins, run through a corn maze and pet some goats.  Jaxon didn't really want to touch the goats, but Ella would have given them a wet kiss if we would have let her!  It was a great fall daY!



Look at all those pumpkins!!



The corn maze!  It made us laugh to run around in green corn...it wasn't dead yet.  Weird.



On the Hay Ride.




This pretty much describes Jaxon's love of goats.




"Come here little goat...I need to kiss you!"




My punkin's




A....DORA....BLE.




He is so handsome.
