Pumpkin Patch 2012

The Fall is such a fun time of year!!  This year we headed out to Bishop's pumpkin Patch...a couple of times!! ;)  This place is the real deal and complete kid heaven!!  Seriously, if it hadn't rained the last day we wanted to go...we would've made it out there 3 times this year!!  It's so much fun...filled with Hayrides, farm animals, pig races, train ride, playgrounds, pumpkin picking... There's so much to do, you could spend hours out there!!  

Picking Pumpkins!!

 

Train Ride!

 

Playing with the cousin's!

 How tall this fall?

Brushing the goats!!

 Trip #2!!

 Hayride!!

We LOVE Bishop's Pumpkin Farm and can't wait til' next year!!

Monterey

 Aunt Megan came for a visit in August!!  We loaded up the kids and headed to Monterey for a night!  We had a lot of fun driving along the Northern California coast and enjoying the beautiful ocean!

Thanks for a fun trip!!!

Cabin Trip!

Back in August we spent a weekend up at the cabin!!  We had such a great time playing and relaxing!! We spent a day over at Tahoe and some time just around the cabin!! 

 This is the little creek that flows by the cabin...Ty didn't hesitate at all to get his feet wet and throw in some rocks and the stick for Trigger!!! 

 Our new favorite thing of the summer...Paddle boarding!!  We got my family to all try it!! So fun! 

 Cousins!

 The guys did a crawdad catch again this year... the little boys loved it!

 

As always we had such a great time with family and a beautiful scenery!!!  Thanks for the memories!!

San Francisco

Back in August we headed up to San Francisco to walk the Golden Gate Bridge... I grew up in California and had never done it, so it was a must while living in the Bay Area!! 

And...we got to do it with these cute girls!!

 After the bridge we headed to Ghirardelhi Square!  Another must...I had never partaken of one of those famous sundae's that everyone rants about...and let me just say it's worth the $9!!  Sooo Yummy!!

 And Ty loved chasing all of the birds!!

We had a really good time and thanks to Nat and Aub for coming with us!!

July 2012 highlights...

We got back from vacation and were glad to be home!  The kids and I had been gone for 3 weeks...so it was nice to be back!  The last half of July...

Tyler is so funny!  I always find Rachel with some random things that he had brought her to "play" with!!

 Happy girl

 We took a trip over to Santa Cruz!  Ty crashed out...

 Rach crashed too...!

 Paddle boarding...

 My kids SUPER sick!  Blahh...I can't even tell you how many NASTY diapers I changed and how many times I got thrown-up on... not a fun week!!

 Making sure she's ok...I'm sure! ;)

 We got to go to the lake...Ty on the tube with his cousin's and Uncle Justin!

It's been awhile...but, I got up...and had a blast!!

Rachel turned 7 months...
