Pumpkin Ranch

Yesterday was a blast! I highly recommend the Rocky Mountain Pumpkin Ranch. See how excited she was after seeing the sights as we drove in? That yellow ribbon around her neck is her name badge so she can go to work. Fraggle Rock has taught her working is good and fun and hey, Daddy goes to work a lot, so why not?As Kaelah rode in the stroller she caught sight of the car ride & requested to do that first. Here I am imagining tears as she went by herself, but Dan strapped her in & she was just fine. After our trip to Disneyland in May, I was shocked at how brave she was!!! My dad & I stood there in amazement & decided she's officially a little girl now. Kaelah was too smart for those steering wheels too. As soon as she realized it didn't respond she stopped holding on to it.Here's Daddy getting a great big "thank you" hug after riding in the car.Petting Zoo.

Danny was angelic, as usual! Here he is smiling at Grandpa while finding out how many pumpkins tall he was. I cannot imagine a better baby in the entire universe... unless you include those kids that can sleep for more than 8 hours at a time. That would be nice. (:
Dan's brown eyed girls.
Dan's happy boy.
The last thing we did was the hay bale maze. I couldn't help but laugh at how fun Kaelah thought it was! We certainly can't call her baby girl Kaelah anymore... and we'll certainly return to the pumpkin ranch next October!

Looks like fun Sarah. Maybe we will go next year.

Fabulous pictures! Kaelah sure is becoming a big girl. I'm glad you have fun.
So fun! I wish I could justify such things, but when we grow our own pumpkins at home, there's just no reason for us to go out and buy pumpkins.

How fun! We totally missed out on the pumpkin patch fun this year! Kaelah and little Danny are so adorable with their Halloween gear on!

Homecoming 2025

The tail end of summer has been so much fun.  The weather has been fantastic and we've all had special occasions to look forward to.  First up, a family party for Natalie's softball team that included pizza, whiffle ball, and seeing the girls just have a good time together as a team. Here's my favorite photo from when Michelle helped her friend, A, celebrate her 16th birthday.  Although she has been friends with A & Z since her time at the Waldorf school, Michelle ended up hanging out with a lot of strangers and had a wonderful time.  I love seeing her branch out and make new connections while maintaining her core friend group. Homecoming week included a BBQ, Powder Puff game and drone show, parade past the middle school where I was volunteering at the Rattler Run, plus a very exciting football game that even Hubby attended by being one of the basketball parents to man the concession stand. Danny did a great job tossing candy instead of throwing it and the basket...

45

I feel spoiled. My parents and our whole family around a dinner table was perfection. Hubby provided roses & a grilled steak, roasted potatoes, and fresh salad dinner complete with chocolate cake (decorated by Michelle).  My mom and dad bought me sweet and thoughtful gifts (including a mug Natalie had painted when my mom took her to Crackpots this summer) and even stayed to watch K Pop Demon Hunters in the basement. We thought it would be hilarious to watch them watch something so different from their favorite shows. They did not disappoint. It was a joyful evening that made me feel much better about turning 45 than I felt earlier in the day.  Below you’ll find what I had written before we celebrated.  Photo credit goes to Kate! 10 Years Ago I filled out interview questions for my 35th birthday and 5 years ago I did the same, adding 5 more questions.  I really don't think I should add 5 more every year because this is probably already too much information for an...

Adventures Begin

Michelle had been saving her money for years. She didn’t know exactly what for, but it turns out she used that money to travel with a group from her high school to Asia!  When people asked me at the end of the school year what I was excited for this summer, the first thing I would think of is Michelle’s trip to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam!  We loved getting texts and photos almost everyday and were able to FaceTime her a couple times.  She had quite the range of experiences from museums and treasures such as Angkor War to cooking classes and time on the water to learning how to fold flowers for offerings at famous Buddhas, and even hanging out with rats that sniff out landmines to be properly disposed of.  We are absolutely thrilled for her! While Michelle was in Asia, Hubby and Kate worked and Kate hung out with friends doing things like paddle boarding (it is great to hear her work stories!), Natalie and I watched the Women’s College World Series when we weren’...
