BT's 37th birthday!

So fun having Frank join us for dinner!

We love to spoil BT on his birthday.  He spoils us alllll year so this is our time to make him feel as special as he is.  I planned a dinner with friends on Friday night at Meditteraneo in Westlake Village followed by drinks.  We have the best friends in the world and it meant so much to him that they all came out to celebrate.  I got us a suite at the hotel with a huge whirlpool tub and a fireplace and patio for us to enjoy coffee in the morning.  The hotel is breathtaking...I see many staycations here in our future(the bar and amazing restaurant on site is a huge plus!!) On Sunday we had both sets of parents over to celebrate with a mexican feast and a cake made by Grandma.  The kids loved watching daddy open his presents and Presto helped Daddy blow out his candles.  He kept saying "It my birt-day too mama?"...no Presto not quite yet!

My longest and dearest friends in the world

We had a table outside right on the lake.  Weather was perfect...wine was flowing:)

A(very hot) day at Underwood



We took our first Fall trip to Underwood this past weekend and holy moly it was hot. It was Fire Safety weekend so they had firetrucks, tanks, police cars, police dogs...you name it and the kids could climb up into the trucks so naturally they were in heaven but sadly it was way too hot. We do love having the farm so close to us and it's such a fun place to visit on the weekends. They have the pumpkins out and they now have a place to eat and get drinks there(this was a big negative for mommy before when the didn't have food/drinks). We met up with our neighbors and got some really cute pictures. I hope it's not this hot next year!!


We painted pumpkins! Phia was meticulous of course and Presto was more...abstract:)



Brothers:)

Bentley LOVES clapping so Presto played along.  Bentley claps right before he starts taking steps...like "Hey look guys I'm getting ready to walk"!

He's suuuuuuch a happy boy!! It's been a really great(rough at times) year with this beautiful boy. He's the most giggliest, cuddliest baby we've had and is such a joy(and thankfully has turned into an amazing sleeper like his brother!!) We love you Bear!!

Presto+ a train=one happy 2 year old!

Oh yes...the heat it written alllll over their faces:)

Love this one...even the apple in Presto's mouth:)

Best family shot we got!

Presto got to turn on the police siren...boy was he stoked!

Phia immediately jumped in the tank and put her seat belt on...safety first with our little lady.  She always asks if we have our seat belts on in the car:)

Peeping through...

The nice officer gave Presto a lift

And Presto peaking through the top of the tank

Phia LOVED the fire trucks..can you tell? She looks like a legit pilot!

Yay!!

Oh and driving too...

Horse drawn carriage ride taking  people from one side of the farm to the other

The chicken show

Couldn't get enough...pretty sure we watched the show 5x or more

Hot babies



We had one more train ride...and the whole train to ourselves!

Nana came too!



Phia as a ballerina!

 Phia started dance again and is loving it! It's tap and ballet and it's a 50 minute class which I was worried about it being so long but she seems to love every minute.  It's a tiny class also which is a huge plus:) We only got a few pictures of her first class...

Phia's ice-cream social!

 So so very far behind! This was our second year attending Sophia's ice-cream social at school.  The kids had a blast running around the grass with a million other kids and of course love the giant heaps of ice-cream they served up.  It's always nice catching up with the parents of the kids in Phia's class.  We love every single thing about her school and it seems to be going way too fast with next year being her last year! And we can't forget that Preston is starting in Ms. Adele's class in January so for the rest of the year they'll be playing on the same yard.  We told Presto he had to learn his colors before he could go to school(no really but we just wanted him to learn)...so he mastered it quickly and said "ok now I go to school with Phia???".  Patience buddy:)(after going through the pictures I realized we don't actually have any pictures of the kids eating ice cream...woopsie!!)
