We're Sorry!

We have not forgotten our loyal followers!!!! It has been a whirlwind of excitement and we haven't a minute to spare these days. Since the last post we celebrated Halloween, went to New York, dealt with a broken arm, met up with old friends, enjoyed a Thanksgiving sing, hosted Thanksgiving for 20, had a first birthday party, had a 34th birthday party and went on a three day vacation to Disneyland. In among all of that we battled colds, went to work, went to school, went to daycare, did laundry, cleaned house, decorated for Christmas, and who knows what else! If that isn't enough we are gearing up for a 4th birthday (to include numerous treats at school, daycare, and a party at home), a Christmas performance, Christmas parties, 3 separate Christmas celebrations, a trip to Tahoe over New Year's, and finally a 35th birthday. Soooo, keep checking back with us and you will soon see some pictures of all our adventures!

Pumpkin Picking Time!

Today (Sunday, 10/22) we went up to Valley Center to visit Bates Nut Farm. Jacob and Olivia had a great time picking out pumpkins and going on a wagon ride. We had a picnic lunch and even saw the Gates and Lofgren families. It was hotter than ever but we certainly had a fun time trekking through the field looking for just the right pumpkins.

Jacob thought this sign was hilarious. He wanted his picture taken in every single pumpkin.

Olivia was fascinated by the hay.

Jacob found his perfect pumpkin!

We found just the right size pumpkin for Olivia.

Here's what we ended up with! Every time we turned around Jacob was putting a pumpkin in the wheelbarrow. He kept picking up pumpkins that were away from the pile and saying they were all alone and needed friends. We didn't have the heart to say no, thank goodness they are pretty cheap!
