Pumpkin Patch and Bunkbed :)

Today, Avery's class went to Lane Farm Pumpkin Patch. I got to go with themand I brought Ry and Brinley of course. The class got there at 9, I was suppose to be there too, but I got lost and got there at 9:30 instead. Avery was really excited that I was there with her class. I got to meet all her little friends! She got to ride the bus, so she was pretty pumped. After the pumpkin patch we got to go to the park. Ryland got to run off all his energy so that was nice. That means a long nap!! Here are some pictures from today...






Here is a picture of the new bunk beds we got for the kids. When we get into a place it will be the boys bed. It has a trundle, so we will have an extra bed for everyone who wants to visit :)


I actually took the kids to the pumpkin patch on a whim this week too. Before Avery's class went. That's why they aren't put together. We got Ry and Kaiden pumpkins on this trip. It was a lot of fun. The kids got to see the farm animals that they had. They had a little area where they could play in hay. That was fun trying to get that out of Avery's hair. We got to go on a hay ride together around the farm. It was so hot that day. I couldn't believe it, we are in mid-October and it was 92. CRAZY, and I love it!









Poor little Ry, we where getting the kids ready for bed and he insisted on putting Avery's swim suite on...I don't think he will ever live this one down!!

P.S. that is a Halloween bucket on his head!

Where to begin?

Again, sorry for the lack of blogs...I'm not even sure that there are any readers left out there!!

Well Santa Barbara has been a lot of fun. Especially this summer. We had many trips to the beach and hanging out with cousins who live only an hour away, 3 trips to Utah and back. We had 2 weddings and a visit with Nana and Papa. We had a trip to Fresno for a baby blessing, and got to see great grandparents and Aunts and Uncles. We had school start (blogged about earlier) and zoo trips. Like I said, crazy/fun times.




This was taken at our favorite spot, Foster freeze. We usually hit it up after a beach trip. The kids love it. Ryland actually isn't to crazy about ice cream, but loves to go anyway. You can see by the picture they have a great time. Avery is super funny. She thought she would be silly and make a crazy face. We laughed so hard when we had seen what she had done.



This was Avery one night. I came into check on the kids and saw she had fallen asleep with my brush.



My 2 girls, Avery is always asking to hold Brinley and always wants us to take pictures of it. Brin really loves to watch Avery. She always smile when she sees her. I can't wait for Brinley to get a little older and they can play together.




Now that Avery goes to school all day, I have a lot of time with little Ry. I took him to the Zoo one day. We had a little Mommy and Ryland date. This was him watching the monkeys. Its his favorite. We had lunch together and walked around for a while. Came home and had a nap! It was a great day.



So this was a REALLY fun thing. We woke up at 1:30 in the morning to a car alarm going off. Jeremy got up to go see what it was. We didn't think anything of it and went back to bed. In the morning we where getting ready to go out for the day and we found our window busted out. In the living room there was glass everywhere and a window busted out too. I was SO mad. I couldn't believe it. I thought we lived in a great neighborhood. We called the police and they pretty much told us the only thing we could do was to come in on Monday and file a report. So much for them...We took my car in to the dealership to have it fixed. Unfortunately our deductible was $500 and the insurance company quoted us $250. Ok, fine it had to be fixed and there wasn't anyone to blame or to make them pay for it, so we got it done. I went to pick up the car 2 days after they said it would be done (because they didn't have it done) and the bill was a whopping $600...what?!?!? I called the insurance company to tell them that they quote was WAY off and they told me, "did you go to our preferred glass company?" Nobody told me about that. The guy apologized and said sorry about that. Next time go through them and they will beat or match our quote. GREAT! So that was that.

Another picture of Brinley. I realized I don't have a lot of pictures of Kaiden on here. Ill be working on that :)



This is Avery walking to school with me.


Avery with her golf clubs. She and Kaiden go every Saturday with Grandpa and Dad and hit balls at the range. Kaiden is going to start up junior golf.



We went to Fresno for Cortney's little boy's blessing. We saw some of the Great Grandparents. These are some of the pictures from the trip.



I just got back from St. George for a little visit with my Mom and Dad. We took some new pictures of Brinley. I can't believe she is 3 months old now. She is a really good baby. She pretty much sleeps through the night. She does have a fussy time, as we like to call it. But she gets over it quickly. I'm really lucky this time around. :)
