Elle is so happy to see Santa

STACHETOBER

So for the month of October Josh's work does a mustache contest for charity, so of course my husband has to participate instead of just donating. It is finally over and I couldn't be happier, I hated that mustache!

Elle with her worm mustache

Dad with his real mustache (he was so proud of it!)

Ollie with his worm mustache

All of them together!

My big TWO year old!

The Birthday girl!

I love this picture of her, she added the necklace to her outfit. This is her favorite necklace, although she loves any kind of jewelry. She loves Hello Kitty and can spot it from a mile away! She is a little ball of fun, she loves to play and wrestle with Oliver and she can definitely hold her own. She LOVES her daddy and has him wrapped around her finger. She is very opinionated and likes to have things her way! On the other hand when she wants to be sweet, man she can make you melt. She loves to snuggle before bed. She loves to read and is talking more and more. She likes to tease her Daddy about talking to her "Boboos" (boyfriends) on the phone. Kinda scary that she is already talking about boyfriends:) We love her so much and feel so blessed to have her in our family!

Happy 2nd Birthday Elle. We love you!!

Baby #3

(This picture is from July 2011)

Yes we are pregnant!! And we couldn't be happier. I am due March 3rd but they will take me a week or two early for the C-section. I was dying to know what we were having so we got an ultrasound at about 14 weeks and found out it is a boy! Oliver is so excited to have a brother and was already telling us that he can have his baby clothes and toys. Elle knows that there is a baby in my tummy but I don't know if she really understands yet. But she loves babies and always wants to hold them. So hopefully she will adjust well. We are so excited can't wait to meet him!

Oliver and Elle

Oliver giving Elle a ride on the tricycle. I love her little belly hanging over her suit!

Could they get any cuter?!

Being kissed by Zoey.

I love to see what good little friends they have become. Don't get me wrong they do have their moments of fighting but I love to see them getting along and enjoying each others company.

Oliver turns F-O-U-R!!

Handsome Oliver on His birthday.

It is so hard to believe that my baby is four and will be going to school next year!! He is such a good little helper and loves his little sis. We are so proud of the little man that he has become. Sometimes I forget that he is only four because a lot of our conversations are so advanced. He is my little buddy and loves to make us laugh all of the time. He is definitely a little class clown. I am trying to soak up all of our time together this year before he starts school. Happy Birthday Mr. Oliver, we love you more than you could ever know!

BEVERLY HILLS FIREFIGHTER

On January 3rd Josh got hired by Beverly Hills Fire Department. We are so excited for him to work at this Department. It is the best department, they take such great care of there firefighters! For the last 3 weeks Josh has been in training with four other guys that they hired. Yesterday January 21st was his graduation, it was so exciting.

All of us!

I am so proud of Josh and all of his hard work. This is such a HUGE blessing for us. Josh has worked so hard and sacrificed a lot to be a Fireman. Originally he tested with 400 people and he was ranked #3 over all. Yesterday at his graduation one of the Captains that was in his interview panel, told us that Josh was the last interview of the week, he said that they were done, they wanted to go home and then Josh walked in a Dazzled them. He is the Captain on C shift which Josh will be on and he said that he is looking forward to having Josh on his shift. He has made us so proud! We are so grateful for this amazing opportunity he has been given.

Love you so much Babe!

We had a great Christmas Eve at Josh's parents house. Before dinner we went down to the park to let the kids play, then we had a nice Jewish dinner. Then the kids did a little role playing of the Nativity story.
