It's the good life...

We had a great week and weekend and it's not even over yet. We visited another awesome pumpkin patch/ farm, decorated pumpkins, and ate smores at the beach. Life is pretty pretty good.


I was super surprised that Nathan said he wanted to ride the pony.

Playing in the pumpkins




This pumpkin is Everett size

How did this picture get in here?!?! Can't help it - he is so darn cute!

Later that night in monster pjs. I wish Halloween could last a little longer.


Enjoying his smore - MMMmmmmm.


The face one makes when eating a smore. How do I know this?



Because, apparently, I make the same face



Hope you enjoyed this!

Fall in Michigan

We had a great extended weekend visiting family in Michigan. Nathan and Everett had a great time being loved by all of their Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and of course G-ma. We visited an apple orchard, played in Autumn's leaves and celebrated birthdays.

This is how cider is made. The mush that this guy is pumping out are all different kinds of apples.

Everett's 1st birthday

Everett turned one on Saturday and had a great day sharing it with friends and family. He is hitting all the typical milestones too - like walking. He barely even crawls anymore. We are so blessed to have two awesome little guys in our lives.


The birthday boy before he got super messy!


Nathan with cousin Katie & the dinosaurs!
Enjoying his new rocking horse.
Yummy cake!




Nathan really enjoyed opening up Everett's presents.

Whenever I told Nathan that this toy is Everett's he said, "No, Nathan's toy!"

Pumpkin Station

We went to the Pumpkin Station in Del Mar. Everett had a blast riding on the train and carousel and Nathan couldn't get enough of the jumpy house and slide. They both took some time to roam around the pumpkin patch for some super cute pictures.

Nathan can't get enough jumping................and falling ;)



Everett's first train ride. Choo-choo!

First carousel ride too.



Finally... a picture with them both looking at the camera.





This is going to be a great, fun month!

Sea World Spooktacular

We spent a few hours at Sea World to practice trick or treating for Halloween. For the month of October they host an event called Spooktacular that has special Halloween themed shows and different stations to get candy.
