Jumpin' Around!

The foam pit is my favorite!

Crazy bouncer girl!

Upside downer!

Balance beamer!

Doing flips on the bars!

This monkey loves the bars!

I was off track in October which meant that Mommy and Daddy needed to find ways to wear two kids out!  We made a few visits to the trampoline place and to the gymnastics studio for open play time!  We got to jump, bounce, and swing to our heart's content!  We got some great workouts in ... and had tons of fun!!

Attempted Apple Picking!

Ready to pick some apples!!

Reaching for the red ones!

She didn't want to get her shoes dirty :)

We got to pick flowers too!!

Mommy's favorite shade of pink!!

She picked a whole bunch!

Just for Mommy!

We found a strawberry patch with perfectly red berries! Yum!

Berry pickers!

It was hard work to fill that basket!

Mommy wants to order one of these for our house!!  ;)

October is prime apple picking time!!  We headed out to Oak Glen to harvest some apples... only to find that the crop this year wasn't so plentiful.  :(  Thankfully, there were plenty of other crops on the farm that needed picking!  We picked flowers from their gorgeous flower fields and we also filled a basket (and our tummies) with some deliciously ripe strawberries!  Our favorite treat, though, was a giant caramel apple from the farm store!  It disappeared before Mommy could snap a picture!  We are hoping for more apple-friendly weather next year!!  :)

A Visit with Aunt Denise and Grandma!

Reading my Nicaragua book to Grandma and Aunt Denise

They liked it!  :)

Family pic :)

... and one WITH Aunt Denise :)

Aunt Denise came down South to visit for the weekend, and made a stop at our house... WITH Grandma!  We had lunch at one of my favorite hang-outs (Burger Basket - YUM!) and then spent the afternoon reading stories and doing crafts at the house.  I loved having company!!  Come back soon, Aunt Denise!  (And bring my cousins next time!!!)  ;)

A Fair-y Fun Day!

She LOVED the bubbler!

Trying to catch the shower water on her tongue...

Hangin' out with a few kids...

Goat feeders!

One room school house - double trouble!

Milking a cow... 

Silly Chickie Z

And Chickie D

We got to harvest some fake fruit in the kid zone...

Grocery shopping...

Danni was in heaven in the princess area... new dresses, shoes, and accessories to model!  She was pleased with the results!

She dressed herself!

The fairy god mother was there too!

I am a sweet boy!  (The shark agreed!)

We didn't see any cavities!

We visited the LA County Fair for the first time and had a blast!!  It wasn't as crowded as the OC Fair, and it had a lot of fun exhibits for kids!  Danni and I liked the Bee Keeping exhibit - we got to see a real live beehive (behind plastic, so it was safe!) We even got to see the queen bee!  We also watched a blacksmith shape metal, milked cows, fed goats, planted seeds, played in the princess dress-up zone (I was a knight!), and learned all about sharks!  We also sampled some sweet treats!!  What a fun day at the Fair!  I hope that we go back again next year!!!

Grandparents' Day!

First grade could barely handle all of this handsomeness!

Proud to take my Papa to school!!

Each year, my school has a special day when all of the kids can bring their grandparents to visit!  I LOVE bringing my Papa to school!  He got to meet my teacher, we took some pictures, and he got some treats.  As an added bonus, I got to go to Disneyland with Papa after school got out!  What a fantastic day!! :)

Another Diz Date!

Can you spot me in the flash mob? :)

Dancing requires tongue-out concentration!

One Zachary. On the rocks.

Enjoying the jelly fish with Papa!

Still love the up & down!

She wasn't a fan of the 3D glasses... or of the Mamarazzi!

After grandparents' day at my school, we headed to Disneyland with Papa!  We spent most of our time over at California Adventure - we hit all of our favorites!  I danced with Phineas and Ferb, rode the Jumpin' Jelly Fish, and got a high score on Midway Mania!!  What a perfect day! I got to hang with a few of my favorite people at one of my favorite places!!  :)

Baby Ethan's Baptism

The cousins love Auntie Lynn's attention!

Baptism Boy with Uncle Mark

Cousin love!

I can't wait until he's big enough to play with me!

Mommy loved getting her baby fix! :)

Kids' table o'crazy!

We celebrated Baby Ethan's baptism with a party at Uncle Paul and Aunt Kelly's house!  We got to spend some quality time loving on our cousin, playing in the bouncer, and enjoying the company of our entire family!  Danni and I especially enjoyed the food!  The caterer brought kids friendly fare such as mac and cheese and vacation chicken!  There was also plenty of ketchup on hand!!  I'm looking forward to the day when Baby Ethan can party with us!!!
