Labor Day festivities part 2

Way too many pictures for 1 post! Sunday and Monday were all about Underwood. We cannot get enough of this place and are so happy that it's in our backyard:) It's a child's paradise. Sunday we took Nan with us in the late afternoon and the sky was filled with popcorn clouds! The weather was so perfect. BT and I took a tractor ride out to the fields while Sophia spent time in a bounce house with Nana. It's blackberry season so they drop you off and let you start picking! It was a perfect afternoon. Sunday we went back in the morning with the Petchenick's and it was HOT...too HOT for mommy:( We fed the animals, ran through the tires, and daddy took the kids on the cow train that goes around the farm but we had to leave after a few hours! Oh and the kids had their first pony ride:) Both LOVED it! The day ended with a trip to the pool!

Sunday at Underwood! Mommy and Presto on the tractor ride to the fields:)

SUCH a beautiful day!!

Preston loved picking the tomatoes right off the vine.


When daddy said "Presto, bring me back a good one!" this is what we got...wahh wahh!

Another choo choo ride! Underwood was build with toddlers in mind!

Sophia at the wheel of one of the MANY trains! This one is in the kiddie area where they have goats that walk on skinny wood beams above you(kinda scary)

The kids in the drivers seat of the tractor;)


Monday at Underwood with the Petchenick's!



It was hard to peel Presto away from the water!

Time to ride the cow train around the farm! Poor daddy was smooshed into "Queenie" with Presto:( They wouldn't let me ride...too preggy!



Bye bye train!

Labor Day weekend 2011

We had such a fun long Labor Day weekend and it all revolved around the kiddies of course! We had 2 trips to Underwood Family Farms, a trip to our favorite park, a day at the Malibu Chili Cook-off, and of course swam in our pool! We cherished every moment with the kids and loved spending the extra time with them:)In the morning Phia always asks "Mommy, is this a work day?" and it was so fun to see her eyes light up 3 days in a row when I said "NO"!! My favorite new milestone of Sophia's(it actually happened at the beginning of summer but I forgot to document)...she can go potty allllll by herself!!! And she prefers it by saying "please close the door, I need my privacy". She goes, wipes, and washes her hands all by herself:) As for Presto, mommy's VERY favorite word he says is "open" which sounds like "bupa". Sophia's word for open was "opie"(much closer to the actual word ha!). Presto has his own little language and we love it: "lelos" is cheerios and Woody(don't ask) and "la" is trash and "mey" is lemon, "waho" is waffle:) Too cute! Here are some of our favorite pictures from the weekend:

Snack time(Presto was clearly fascinated with his swim diapie!!)!



Presto had a very important phone call to make:)

Park time:)


Sophia is so brave and loves to climb(and Presto is following in her footsteps!)




This slide is HUGE and Presto couldn't get enough:)

Our "baby" is becoming such a big girl!!

This is Presto's "I dunno" face!

"Nonno's Fair" as Sophia calls it, was a blast! Nonno drove Phia around the grounds in the golf cart...she loved it!

PRESTO our happy boy enjoyed the festivities. This was the first year he could really enjoy the rides and he didn't bat an eye!



Wait Presto the ride isn't quite over!!

Me: 32 weeks preggy, Kell: 15 weeks preggy. Soooo fun being preggy with my BFF!!



Nonno works so hard each year to put on this event, we are all so proud of him!! We saw soooo many celebs this year and the paparazzi were swarming all around the gates. Tori, Dean, and family were enjoying the band and we saw Pink eating chili and riding the kiddie rides:)

Auntie Kelly enjoying some chili!

Auntie Kelly and Emma(being silly)

Last year, when Sophia was just 2 I went with her on this roller coaster at least 5x. It's soooo fun and soooo fast and she LOVES it! Presto was too little but next year I bet he'll be all over it!

The girls were so giddy before getting on the coaster:)

Baby #3's nursery update

Here is his bedding!! We both fell in love with the bright colors. We have the nursery painted(sage) and the closet is built. We're waiting on the carpenter to install the closet doors and build the custom "built-ins" and we can finally start decorating(mommy's favorite part!). I ordered his bedding this week and he'll have Phia's crib since she will now have her very own "princess" bed(pictures to come!) Even though the new baby have lots of hand me downs from Presto, we want him to have some of his own things as well OF COURSE!! Mommy(and Nana) can't resist buying new clothes:)

Sunday fun!

We had Auntie Kelly and Rob over for a swim and dinner on Sunday. The kids "attacked" Rob, they figured he needed to get ready for their baby due in Feb:) They had a blast climbing all over him. We ate yummy food and headed to the pool! We then enjoyed some yummy carrot cake(Presto was in heaven). We love having them back in California and try and spend as much time with them as possible:)



Nana joined in on the Sunday fun!

Rob jumped in and swam with Phia while mommy and Auntie Kelly chatted:) Presto only lasts 15 minutes in the pool so Daddy took him back home! Phia is so brave and jumps off in the deep end by herself. Scares mommy!!

Phia enjoying a chocolate treat after swimming:)

Presto was super excited about his carrot cake!


Having a little boy is so fun. Presto is so adventurous! He especially loves exploring the backyard!
