Pumpkins and Petting Zoos

We ventured to the local pumpkin patch this week, and it was quite a success! They had quite a large amount of pumpkins for a local mom and pop patch!They also had a petting zoo that was best admired on the other side of the gate.. The kids loved the hay stacks, pumpkins and wheelbarrows so much it was hard to capture any "real" photo session. Of course my intentions behind the pumpkin patch were purely for great photos, but at least they had a great time. This patch was a good way to kick start the feeling of Fall within me..I'm ready now for the cooler weather! Here's a few pictures of the fun I was able to capture....

I love watching her grow up and see her personality unfold on a daily basis. We love you sweet Malin and appreciate you and all your energy!

Summer Recap

I will do my best with a few photos to recap some of our summer and early fall highlights... Actually, I will not say "Fall" the blistery, cold and overcast weather of fall has yet to show its pretty face down here in California. I never thought I'd miss the gloom and cool breeze those Seattle days would bring!

HAWAII 5-0

I know my last post was from June, Malin's Birthday but I need to back track a month and then move forward. Trust me you don't want to miss these pictures of the two cutest beach babes you will ever see! In May the family headed to Hawaii to celebrate my Moms milestone birthday. 5 hour plane ride two. babies under the age of 2, 6 adults...we did well and arrived successfully! We went to the island of Kauai and it was beautiful. A week filled with sunshine, good memories, GREAT food and sand eating babies who thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this adventure! Pictures from this trip were many so Ill include a few favorites in this post. Until next time Hawaii... we can't wait to visit again!

Aloha!

Happy Birthday Malin!

Our sweet little girl is ONE today! This year has flown by us at a rapid pace! I cannot believe Malin is officially a toddler now! We have had such a fun time watching her grow, explore and learn this first year! We look forward to many more fun times and memories ahead! Thank you Malin for teaching us so much this year! We have truly enjoyed being your parents and love you so dearly! Hope this day is extra wonderful for you! We Love YOU!

Love,
