Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we went back to the pumpkin patch we went to last year when Mason was only about 4 months old.  It's a cute one, with a hayride, a corn maze, a few farm animals and of course abundant photo opportunities!  Mason really enjoyed it - the tractor was his favorite.  Not a surprise, considering his obsession with cars, trucks and anything else that moves!

So many pumpkins to choose from!


Goats...

And one random chicken




Once we found the tractor, it was all over for Mason.  He was hooked!



Our family! 

Look how much we've grown in a year :)

Apple Picking

There's an adorable town in the mountains outside of San Diego called Julian.  It's the place to go in the fall and winter for San Diegans - apple and other fruit picking, pumpkin patches, home-made apple pies, walking around the cute town, snow in the winter...so great!  We decided to head out there for some apple picking with Grace, Addison, Opa, Uncle Todd & Aunt Laura a few weeks ago.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and a great morning together.

Ready to pick some apples!


I'm only slightly obsessed with the adorableness of this picture. 

It was the most perfect day!

Checkin out the apples



We of course had to taste the apples too!



My gorgeous family!  And yes...Tristan picked the blue plaid shirt after he saw Mason's :)

After we were done, we walked across the street to a cute little winery with our pre-packed picnic lunches.  All of the adults (minus prego Aunt Laura) did some wine tasting with our lunch while the kids played.

I love them :)

Chug, chug!

I love the way he looks at Grace & Addison...loves them so much!


Phew, that was a busy morning!!  Mason was wiped out!

So happy to have my camera back...I'll try to post more soon!

Corn

Ok wow, it's been over a month since my last post!  My computer is completely screwed up, but I just got off the phone w/some computer technical support and they figured out how to get my pictures from my camera onto my computer!  Yay!  The video camera is a different story, but for now I wanted to at least post some pix from the past month!

Mason has a new favorite vegetable, CORN!  So fun to eat at his age, he says "mmmmm" with every bite :)



At uncle Brandon & Aunt Erin's house in Gainesville...sitting in a big boy chair, too!

Eating just gets more and more fun!
