Lazy mornings are nice.

Pizza Night at the Costello's Casa

Aunt Lara's tradition of baking homemade pizzas with her nephews continues. The boys kept asking for more pepperoni and sneaking handfuls of mozzarella cheese. Aunt Lara had Thursday off so she let us come up and spend the night. I thought the picture of Hannah and Lucy watching and waiting for dropped food was cute. We've just been busy busy. There's visits to the parks and library. Not so many pictures of those cuz my hands are usually holding Jacob. It feels good to be caught up on pictures.

We love visiting with Aunt Lara. She stopped by with a gigantic package from Uncle Danny. Those pictures I have on my phone and need to figure out how to blog them. Pictured in the background is my yard sale goodies I found earlier that morning. Inside the box from Uncle Danny was cars cars and more cars. There were Hotwheel tracks, a blow up punching bag, cars puzzles and games. They boys loved it and we appreciate Uncle Danny's thoughtfulness and generosity.

We miss and love you Daddy!!

Love, Your Family

Aunt Lara spoiled us this year at Halloween. She picked pumpkins for the boys and they got to choose which ones they wanted. They were huge pumpkins and the boys and I had a blast.

Halloween Fun

Aunt Lara and Uncle Jim took the boys to the city of Upland where I grew up to go Trick or Treating. These guys did awesome and were such good sports. I guess the car costumes were not the easiest costumes to take out and after a few houses Lucas was done hauling that thing around. One house in paticular had thing popping out and Lil B freaked. Super Auntie came to his rescue and swooped him up. I'm glad that they had a good time. I stayed home and made white chocolate candy corn cookies. They were a complete mess because the melted candy corn kept sticking to the pan. They still tasted really good though.

The boys at the church's trunk or treat. I was such a proud Mom when they both won the bean bag toss into the Jackolantern game. It was a fun evening.

I'm so glad we dragged Grandma out. Halloween is her least favorite. Grandpa is on the activities committee so it was great to have them both there. The decor was provided by my Sis In Law. She's the best.

and finally this is me and my lil bag of popcorn. We danced the night away at Lara's Halloween party. The numbers on the bottom of the ticket is the date of the party and year and how old I am. It was a fun party.

Going back to Cali till the end of December

We did it!! We are here in Cali. We drove straight through setting a new time record. I'm happy to be back and blogging thanks to my wonderful Sister in Law. There is so much to catch up on. Halloween was awesome. Cali is awesome. I miss my Honey and my doggies and my Alabama family but I'm loving it here and the time is flying by. The trip was good. Now that I know we can do it we won't be doing it again anytime soon.

Pictured is.. Brian engrossed in a movie. We watched Cars (twice in one day) Alladin (Uncle Danny's favorite) and a Mickey's Christmas. I discovered many things on our road trip including Lucas's love for pretzels and my love for convenient pockets behind the seats. So on with more pictures.
