Grandpa and Gamze

Grandpa and Ryan: 2 guys with blue eyes!

Laura and Gamze in the matching jammies, too cute!

LA Auto Show

Joel got free tickets to the LA Auto Show. This was our 6th year that we have gone; suprising? Not really, Joel loves looking at all the cars. He found his dream truck, a 4 door diesel long bed.

Laura and I enjoyed the new Beetle.

While Joel pushed sleeping Ryan in the stroller, Laura enjoyed playing on the bouncers that were set up in the corner. She played on those for about 45 minutes! She feel asleep as soon as we got in the car to go home!

Knotts Berry Farm

We had a fun time at Knott's Berry Farm wth Gramps and Grams for Vetran's Day! Thank you for taking us, we appreciated spending the day with you!

It's NOT Girly!

I got this Ralph Lauren outfit at a fancy smancy store with Ashleigh. We both thought the blue mark at the bottom of one leg was a stain, but it is the "RL" mark signifying it is a Ralph Lauren outfit. (Oh yes, of course, because my kids wear so much Ralph Lauren clothing I knew that.)
Joel was a little iffy about the outfit, but I put Ryan in it and we went to church. While nursing him during sacrament meeting I tok off his sweater and then didn't put it back on because he seemed too warm (and the sweater is an argyle/wool blend). 3, yes 3, people told me that my daughter looked so sweet, and that her eyes are so blue, and that my daughter's dimples are so cute. I had the outfit drycleaned and am going to return it. I thought it was so classic looking, but obviously others didn't think so.

Bath time, I love Ryan's wink!

Our outfits to church the Sunday before Halloween. I love Laura's fall jumper

Grrr, I'm Tigger!

First and last time in these pjs; I had to squeeeeze him into them!

Going Hawaiian!

Ryann is wearing an outfit we got from Aubry. When I pulled it out of the box of clothes Sunday morning, I said "This is so cute, and I know the perfect outfit Laura will wear today to church to match!" Laura is wearing Gamze's Hawaiian dress that Gokhan and De bought for her when we went to Hawaii for Kelly's 18th birthday. Wow, how often do you hear of someone going to Hawaii for a week for their 18th birthday? I guess when your sister works for Pleasant Holidays! We had free airfare from LAX to Maui and upgraded our hotel from a room to a suite so De, Gokahn and Gamze could stay with us. I can't believe Gamze was the age Laura is now. Although I miss Pleasant Holidays and the free trips (I went to Hawaii 6 times, the Caribean, and Washington DC) we are happy where we are now. Life is good.
