Underwood Family Farms 2010

Halloween festivities started early this year! Saturday we made our annual trip to Underwood Family Farms. We took Sophia here when she was 3 months old so this farm is very special to us. They have so many activities for kids it's hard to get it all done in one day but we tried! Sophia especially loved the HUGE area full of beans that she played in forever, we also rode a mini lawn mower, watched piggie races, took a train ride, climed up the hay bails and walked through the petting farm. Preston wanted to eat the beans so bad in the bean box and when we took them away he started to cry:( PJ doesn't cry very often so this made for a super sad(but oh so cute) picture below:( This year they had a slide inside of a tractor which was a big hit with Sophia too. Sophia danced to the live music while we had lunch. She's always the first one to dance and at the end of every song she's the loudest one clapping and even sneaks in a "wohooo". Sophia made the trip so fun this year. She loved every minute of it!

Fall fun!

We love this time of year! Visits to the pumpkin patch, lots of baking, decorating the house and of course the cooler weather and Halloween festivities approaching:) Sophia is very excited about dressing up this year! She loves dress up in general and loves to mix and match clothes(sometimes she even puts on Preston's clothes!!). Leyla recently spent the entire day at the pumkin patch with the kids. They split their day b/w the petting zoo, the bouncy castle/slides, and the rides. Here are are some new pictures of the kids from this month! The running theme with Preston is "how many things can I put in my mouth??"

Mama P's surprise birthday weekend!

This past weekend we surprised Mama P by flying in her sisters to help celebrate her birthday. Friday she took the day off and we spent the morning at the day spa getting massages while BT picked up the Aunties at the airport. The "big reveal" was back at our house and mama was SO overwhelmed with joy and shock when she saw here sisters sitting at our dining room table!! Saturday morning started off with "zero gravity" pedicures for all us ladies followed by an afternnon at The Getty museum and dinner with the whole family at King's Fish House(where Preston filled up on sourdough bread for the firt time). Sunday Nonno made brunch for everyone and the aunties took off late in the afternoon. We miss Aunt Mary Ann and Aunt Connie Jo so much already but we had such a perfect weekend and we'll see them in January in the Caribbean!!

Preston turns 9 months old!

Friday was Preston's 9 month checkup. He's weighing in at 21.lbs 5oz and is 27.5" long. Sophia was 20lbs and 27" long at 9 months so they're about the same size! He almost has 4 teeth all on the bottom and can stand by himself and is cruising all over the place! We couldn't have imagined a more happy, pleasant baby to join our family!! Happy 9 months baby boy:) Here are some of our latest favorite pictures. Some are from art time with Leyla, a few of Preston at the park playing with his sister and mommy's very favorite pictures are always bath pictures so we can't forget those!!
