Update

Life has been so crazy this past month but I finally am making time to update on our life. I started a nanny job a month ago and LOVE it! The family is so wonderful to work for and the kids are so....... cute! I will post pictures soon. Brando is still working as both a real estate agent with the Watts Group and also owns his own landscape/construction business and has been really busy! I also started helping my mom with photography. She did her last wedding in October and then has been taking a break since. She is starting up and is really getting back into children's photography on top of her weddings. We did our first "sitting" with my friend Ashlee's little girl Sienna and the pictures turned out amazing! My mom is in the process of finishing her website so as soon as it's done I will post it on my blog so you can check it out! Here are just a few of the pictures from Sienna.....

Dinner with the girls

This past week Melanie was in town so we all got together and went out to dinner. It was so much fun seeing everyone, catching up and laughing about all our funny memories. I feel like I have not seen my friends in a big group since my wedding so it was very much needed! Hopefully it won't be very long before we all get together again! Thanks again Ashlee and Lauren for getting us all together. It was a very fun night!

1st Christmas Tree

Since I have been a complete slacker with posting I figured I would post a picture of our first Christmas tree. It's not decorated as much as I would like but I figure there is always next year to add more!



Vegas, shopping & Celine Dion...

A couple weeks ago I went on a girls trip to Vegas with Megan, Danielle, Brooke, Priscila & Lindsay. We had a ton of fun shopping, eating, shopping some more and then went to the Celine Dion concert and it was amazing! I had such a fun time and am so happy I was able to go. Thanks again girls for inviting me!

Twilight

So I finally got around to reading Twilight and I loved it! I really wondered how a book about vampires could be that addicting but it is. I could not put it down. I had to keep reading to see what would happen next. Anyways for those of you who are fans of the whole "Twilight" series there is a movie coming out next year and they have started picking cast members. So if you are ever bored and wonder who will be in the movie go to www.stepheniemeyer.com. On her site under "Twilight the movie" she has pictures of what she imagines the characters would look like. It's interesting to see what she pictures because on some I imagined someone completely different. If you get a chance look at it and let me know if you agree on them. They also picked the girl who will star as Bella. It's Kristen Stewart. I didn't really know her but she was in Panic Room if you ever saw it. As you can tell I have had a little extra time on my hands to find out all this stuff! I started New Moon last night so I will post what I thought of it as soon as I'm done.

Halloween Party

I figured it was time for me to update my blog since I'm the only one who has not posted pictures from our halloween party! We had a ton of fun and I have to say people got very creative this year on their costumes! Next year is going to be hard to beat! Here are just a few of the many pictures we took that night.
