Glamour Party

Sophia was recently invited to a glamour birthday party.  You can not imagine the excitement leading up to this party.  At the party they had their nails and toes painted and their hair done.

A pie for daddy

Sophia has become quite the little chef recently, helping to make many of the meals in our house.  So, when it came to her dad's birthday she told me and Julie she wanted to make his favorite- pie.  Being that I am always running around, Julie took this task on with her and they made probably the best apple pie I have ever had (with our hand picked apples from the apple farm)! Here are some photos of Cyrus's birthday; Sophia even has green paint on her neck from her daily painting project.

The joy in this photo tugs at my heart strings!

Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere

Last weekend we made our annual trek to the pumpkin patch.  As usual it was hot, hotter than my mind thinks it should be in October, but this year we were prepared.  The kids had a blast on the rides and playing in the pumpkin patch.  Here are a few photos of the day:

Celebrating Fall with Apples and Steam Trains

Saturday, September 22, 2012 was the first day of fall.  We really celebrated this year!

We started out apple picking in Watsonville,CA on Saturday morning.  This year was so much fun.  Sophia ran through the orchards with a point & shoot camera taking photos and stopping to grab an apple or two, while Isabella happily sat in the wagon for a majority of the journey chewing on a fresh picked apple.

Halfway through we stopped for a few photos and both girls embraced the concept and helped us fill our bags up. We are definitely overachievers in the filling department, resulting in 25 pounds of apples!

After the picking we had a picnic lunch and all shared a piece of apple pie ala mode, courtesy of their bake shop.  It was a great day with family and friends, and has definitely become a tradition in our family.

On Sunday, we went to a company event at Roaring Camp Railroads in Felton, CA.  We ate BBQ and rode the train into the Henry Cowell State Park to see the redwoods.  While we all enjoyed ourselves, Isabella seemed most impressed with the "choo choo".
