Happy Halloween!

My pumpkin and Todd's pumpkin. He's really giving me a run for my money these days. How creative is that 'boo'?

Our little skeleton ;)

Our little monkey. Such a change from last year. He LOVED trick or treating

Winetasting with my East Coast Besties!

 I made some truly amazing friends while we lived in Rhode Island and this weekend three of them came out to visit. I met both Amy and Kim while working at Towerstream and have just adored them ever since, then Amy introduced us to her husband Mike, who everyone adores and BAM great group of friends. I has so excited to show them Southern California. We only had a few days so we went to the zoo, an amusement park, a party and of course winetasting. I can't put into words how much fun we had and I can't wait for them to come back!

Amy, me and Kimi

The Coyers

as with all winetasting adventures the day went from classy to pure chaos in a matter of hours. :)

Love you guys!

The not so awesome pumpkin patch...

Its no secret how much I loved Fall on the East Coast. LOVED IT. Every time the leaves changed I dragged Todd to our local pumpkin patch and corn maze. Well since we are back in California I assumed there must be some sort of equally awesome Fall festivities....my asumption was wrong. Temecula boasted that it had its own pumpkin patch and corn maze so we hurried on down. What we found was a parking lot with a few pumpkins and a "corn maze" that had barely grown past my waist. Add to that it was about a 100 degree outside. We spent 5 minutes, realized Matt pooped and went home. Tragic.

Awww....

Just love them!



Hey Matthew, its your birthday!!

 Our sweet like guy is 1!!  I cannot believe that he is becoming a sweet little toddler before our very eyes! Today we had a birthday party to mark this special milestone for our sweet little guy. So many friends and family came and Matt got more clothes and toys than he knows what to do with. Thank you everyone for spending this special day with us!

All cleaned up!

Happy birthday sweet boy, we love you so much!

Loves his daddy!

Take me out to the ball game....

Today Matt was introduced to a sport he will probably be forced (or will most likely ask) to play in a couple years...baseball!

I grew up going to baseball games and Todd and I want to carry on the tradition. Of course the Angels were playing the Mariners but in light of what happened at the Dogers game not so long ago we decided it was best to go ahead and support the home team. ;)

We can't wait to go again!

All dressed up w. Mommy

Todd's dad was also in town so here's Matt playing with Grandpa Don. Matt LOVED him!



And then got to play with Grandpa Mike, he was a pretty happy kiddo

Seriously how handsome are my boys?!?!

Thanks Mom and Dad for coming with us!
