Patience

Cash has never been entertained by the TV. Believe me, I have tried and tried for cleaning sake to get him to sit and watch something. However, we bought a few $5 movies at target for the future. He loved the Bee movie. He was really paying attention and reacting, it was so cute. FINALLY he is mellowing out.

Cash's First Tree/Aquarium with Grampa

We decided that our children would always have a live tree in their room way before we had kids. Last year Cash was too young to appreciate the experience. This year, we took Cash to get his first tree. He was excited to have it in his room. Not to mention the fact Geoff had to have a train that goes around the tree. Cash was so excited he squealed with joy when he saw the lights and train all together. We are excited to see his joy grow each year as he understands Christmas more and more.

After the joy of a new tree we decided to go to the Aqurium of the Pacific. Grampa mentioned in passing he would love to go with us some time so we called him and he came. Cash hadn't been to the Aquarium in a while so it was all new to him, he was excited to show his Grampa everything.

Cabo Family Trip

The entire Sargent/McCain Families took a trip to San Jose Del Cabo November 3-8. We stayed at Cabo Azul which is an amazing resort Steve and Lynne have a time share at. We had a wonderful time going to Shipwrecks Beach with Sharon and Craig Fairbanks (who have an incredible home in Mexico)

Cash loved the beach so much. We took him on the dune buggy and the quad. He squealed with joy and I cringed in slight fear of how fast Geoff was driving.

We had a huge dinner at the Fairbanks. Kylie, Tim, Chris and Mr. & Mrs. Anderson were there as well. It was an amazing trip.

Bridal Photoshoot

One of my best friends from High School asked my Mom & I to model for her new website www.blushbymmarie.com we were thrilled to do it and honored she asked.

She does such great make up and hair. If anyone is getting married or know someone who is getting married in Southern Orange County, Melissa is the one to call. She works with a team of ladies who provide so many services from Hair & Makeup, Eyelash Extensions, Tanning to Teeth Whitening.

Riding His Harley

Cash is really good with figuring things out. We bought him the power wheels Harley Motorcycle for his first birthday because I thought it was something he could grow into rather then grow out of quickly. We didn't anticipate him figuring out how to make it go so quickly. Here he is in all his riding glory.

Halloween Time

Geoff & I took Cash to my parents house to trick or treat. There are so many kids and we know all the neighbors. He had so much fun going up to their doors, ringing the door bell (currently his favorite thing to do) and get to pick his treat. He was so cute in his green dinosaur costume, made by me :) (patting my own back haha). Nana dressed up like a witch and helped Cash go door to door. He had a blast.

His very first sucker.

Cash's Friend Birthday Party

We held Cash's Friends Party at our house. Since his birthday is so close to Halloween we decided it would be fun for him (and his friends) to be able to wear their costumes more then once. After making Cash's costume, believe me I wanted him to wear that thing out. I had never really sewn before, so this was quite the challenge, and I loved doing it. We held it in our side yard and decorated with orange and black Polk-a-dots, we hung lanterns from the tree branches and it was a lot of fun planning. After 3 days of attention on him, Cash was over it by cake time. Thank God Caden Lentine was there to save the day. He climbed up the side of Cash's high chair and started eating the cake, which got Cash interested. It was the most hysterical thing ever, so sweet and innocent. Thank you Caden, I cannot wait till you boys are older and share this story.

Cake all over his face, he loves cupcakes now.

Even our adult friends dressed up. Bethany & Kevin Sheehan were a bun in the oven (She is pregnant and due early March) and the baker. Vanessa Lentine was a hen, Caden was a baby chick and Nick was the farmer. Sammy Ascher & Dustin Mudd were rockers. Wendy Taylor was Mini Mouse and Ryan Hunt was a train conductor. Melissa Hays was a flower (beautiful and so creative) Geoff was DJ Lance Rock (boarder line inappropriate with the pants sooo tight) and I was a kitty.

We have the most amazing friends in the world and our lives would not be the same without each and everyone of you who came...Love you!

Also, thanks to Orkideh and Aralan for helping out so much.
