Pumpkin Patch

This year we decided to avoid the chaos of a weekend at the pumpkin patch and go during the week.  The kids had a blast, LOVED picking out their own pumpkins, and mama loved that I could let them walk around and be free while not having to panic about the crowds.  :)

Newport Beach Trip

One of the fun things we did this summer while we had visitors was of course go to the beach!  Around March of this year we found a wonderful little hotel, that looks like a dive from the outside, but the view is GORGEOUS and the rooms are cozy and adorable!  And the best part is that there is private beach access!!  Only the hotel and about 3 residences have access to this strip of beach.

This was our second time staying there, but it was of course Monea, Kayla and Nate's first time.  Here are some fun shots from our trip!



















All the cousins

Lets see if I can get us all caught up....haha.  :) 

This summer we had the pleasure of the cousin's staying with us.  Monea and Kayla were here most of the summer, Nate was here about a month of it, and the twins Sam and Steno even visited for a few days while Auntie Kim had a business trip to take.  Jaz and Isaac LOVED having someone here in the house to play with constantly! 

Here are some pics from when all 5 kids were here.  There was lots of slip-n-sliding, sprinkler running, and even fireworks for 4th of July.  (WOW!  I am way late on pics...haha)

Pics from the summer

Things are pretty crazy around here most days lately, it seems. And obviously I am terribly behind on picture updating. Over the next few days I am going to try to get caught up. :) Here are some random pics from early in the summer. :)
