September - October

It's been a busy but fun fall season. I cannot believe that October is almost gone! Between Chris's job, wedding season and 2 rug rats, the time has flown. Here are a few snapshots of the last month:
We have spent some great time with our dear neighbor Fatma the last 2 months. If Addie had her way, she would go over to Fatma's house every day and play. She gets spoiled over there with tents, princesses, princesses and more princesses. We are so thankful for Fatma and Todd. We ventured to the Avila Valley Barn one day with her and had a great time. We even met up with Dad for lunch in SLO at Panera...yum.



The time we have together as a family of 4 seems to be slim lately. Unfortunately with my job, we really only have Sundays after church. We have been trying to be intentional with doing something with all of us when we can. Picnics in the downtown parks have been one of our favorites...Addie runs around with sticks and acorns (baby hats as she calls them) while Brody rolls around on the grass.




Addie's sweet friend Lucy spent the night and brought this HUGE baby with her. I opened up her bag to get out her jammies and I literally had to catch my breath because it looked like a real baby stuffed inside her bag. We forced Chris to take a picture with the baby and Brody...it was as big as he was...and he is a BIG baby.
My favorite shirt on BroBro is this Charley Brown shirt. He makes me laugh in it. I put a beanie on his head and laughed even more. Good grief!


Parades!! Addie LOVES parades. Chris took the kiddos to the Pioneer Parade a few weeks ago and they had a great time. I think they saw more tractors and cows than anyone should experience in one day but it's a great event in the community.
Cookies and more cookies. Addie and my new activity together is baking...really anything with sugar. We have gotten rather good at chocolate chip cookies and now we are mastering my mom's pumpkin bread recipe. Luckily we try to share with our neighbors and friends so we don't swell up like a balloon.
