way back in May.

i'm getting back onto the blog as assigned by my dear Janica. 

we have had a LOT of happenings in the last few months. 

in May: 

we had a quick trip to Flagstaff for "Weeyawm's" graduation. 

and shortly after, we celebrated Gabe's graduation. 

and we closed out the month with our Girls Weekend Extravaganza 2014. we watched the girls while Mike and Janica visited TX. 

pumpkin patch - take 3

yesterday we tried a re-do of our pumpkin patch date with Linda. the week before was so insanely crowded, we didn't get to enjoy much of the festivities.

we went to the pumpkin city patch at the laguna hills mall, it was great!

pumpkin patch. (take two)

last year, i heard about a great event at the Great Park in Irvine. unfortunately, i didn't hear about it until it had already passed. so i was determined to go this year! it is a one-day event with a pumpkin patch, trick-or-treating, carnival games, crafts, petting zoo, and more! (http://www.ocgp.org/events/great-park-pumpkin-harvest-2013/)

we took Ava this morning and it was Great - just like the park!

she picked a cute little pumpkin.

the morning had a few tantrums because she wanted to be held and we wanted her to walk.

also. look at how cute her shoes are!
