Beautiful Fall

It's definitely fall around here...it's probably my favorite part of living in Northern California. The trees turn such beautiful colors and you can't help but just smile and look in wonder every time you pass one...

Pumpkin Time

We went to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday. It was so much fun to let Elijah just walk around and touch the pumpkins...he kept saying "wow" every two seconds and thought it was the coolest thing.

We're back...

After a few months of being without a camera, Phil and I were finally able to buy a new one. Here are a few of our favorite recent pictures...

This one's for you Grandpa...

Ward Baby #2

Well, we had our official ultrasound today...it was wonderful to see the baby and feel secure in the fact that it has 2 arms and 2 legs and a normal head...but, Phil decided not to find out the gender, and I being completely impatient, couldn't wait to find out...but, the technician was only about 80% sure of what she thought the baby's gender is... Needless to say, I'm not completely sure myself and have already planned to bring a pink and a blue outfit to the hospital...

Here's our beautiful baby #2

We have some news...

Phil and I are proud to announce that we are expecting a new little one this coming March. Unfortunately, our camera is broken so I haven't been able to post any pictures lately. We just went on a family vacation to Cambria with my parents, aunts, uncles and cousins...hopefully pictures to come...

Fun in the Sun

Elijah's cousins came up for the afternoon last week and we went to the local city park that has very cool water features, which Elijah and his friend Macy loved...especially trying to drink the water for some reason.

Home Improvement

While Phil is gone done in LA, my Dad and I thought it would be a perfect time to get some things done around the house...with his HUGE help, we accomplished a lot today...this used to be a giant dirt pile but now we filled it with playground bark and put Elijah's outside play structures on there so he has his own designated spot...so much fun.
I also planted a pumpkin patch in another area of dirt. There are three different varieties and sizes. I think Elijah will have fun watching them grow and I'm having fun experimenting with my gardening skills.
