Lover of the helmet...

We (meaning Phil) started taking Elijah on bike rides and he LOVES wearing his helmet. He especially loves to play with it inside the house and since I'm not really up to a fight, I let him play and wear it when he wants...

Fall Festival

Our church puts on a Halloween alternative for the community. Its a carnival-style event with jump houses, games, cake walk and trunk-or-treating. There were around 2000 people who came. Phil and I and our friends Kyle and Lindsey participate by decorating the back of Kyle's truck for the trunk-or-treat portion of the festival...this year we chose the Jungle as our theme...

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...
