Pumpkin Picking Time

It was time for us to go to our local pumpkin patch and let each of the kids pick out a pumpkin. This pumpkin patch also has a hay maze, a hay ride, 2 bounce houses, a few games and of course a lot of pumpkins. The kids had a great time running around playing and we had several hay rides by the time we were finished.

We will carve our pumpkins next weekend and I will roast up some of the pumpkin seeds. We also did our annual BOO-ing this weekend, I will work on another Blog post to share some pictures with you all.

I love Paige's boots...I really need to get myself a pair

Our 3 Perfect Pumpkins - 2011

Happy Fall Y'all!!!

Sleeping Beauty and the Roly-Poly

Today I took the kids to a playdate over at a local community center to play with friends and lucky for me it's next to this beautiful nature preserve. I always keep that in mind when getting the kids dressed for this monthly event because I like to snap a few pictures before we head in to play.

It's been raining here on and off the past few days so Aiden kept entertained outside playing with several roly-poly bugs while Harlow ran around in the mud. Both the lighting and weather were just perfect so I was ok with the mud.

Harlow is wearing a Platinum Matilda Jane Sleeping Beauty Ellie, my very favorite Joyfolie shoes and I made the butterfly headband to match.

Aiden is wearing Gap and a roly-poly bug...LOL!

Hope your all having a terrific Tuesday!

Swords and Flowers

Big brother Aiden was by her side using sticks as swords as Harlow took her time to pick some flowers.

CA part II - All Things Water and FUN

We went to the beach so we could visit my mom (where we laid her to rest) and I could take some pictures of my sister, Jason and the 3 kids together.

We were clickin' away at the beach and got a ton of fabulous pictures. We went to the beach every year on the anniversary of my mother's passing so I was happy to get to go back for a visit. Harlow just loved the sand, I assumed she would cry when I sat her down but it was just the opposite she was all curiosity and smiles.

My husband and I were married at Laguna Beach in the sand because my mom really wanted me to have a beach wedding, sadly she passed away shortly before our wedding but we threw roses in the sea during the ceremony to include her. My mother loved the beach and I was grateful Harlow was so content sitting in the sand spending time with her grandma whom she will never be fortunate enough to meet.

I love this picture with Harlow and her Auntie Jen and Cousin Megan

I have a thing for these Joyfolie shoes and how cute are they in the sand?!

Here's my sister with Jason and the kids

The following day we went to the Long Beach Aquarium.

It was such a fun day out in the water and sun with family and friends, I do miss a few things about CA one of them being the nice weather.

Well looks like we will have a part III of my trip to CA. I am taking the kids to Build-A-Bear today and then tonight I am going out with some friends to see Sex & the City II, enjoying summer already!
