Chase and the pumpkin patch

Chase has a field trip to Countryside Farms for pre-school. We had a lot of fun there. We had a chance of rain during the day and it sprinkled on us a little but not too bad. We did the usual during the field trip. We picked out a pumpkin. Learned how a pumpkin grows. Picked out some walnuts. Learned how walnuts are harvested. Planted a plant. Took a tractor ride. Played in the play yard. Had a snack. Went home. Chase and I had a ton of fun!

Last time boating for 2009

We went boating for the last time the on October 10. The water was already freezing at this point. It has to be really warm for me to get into the water! As you can see Danicia thought it was freezing too so she put the drysuit on.

When Isabella and Chase were out tubing we thought they were having the best time but as you can also see they were crying when we pulled them in because it was too cold. (It was actually really funny! LOL)

Chase's favorite seat on the boat is Daddy's lap. He'd stay there the entire time if Dad would let him.

We had a great last time on the boat for 2009.

Visiting Family in Fresno

At the beginning of October I went to Fresno to visit my family. Pictured above is my cousin Tina, Aunt Jeanne, Mom, Me, cousin Becky, and in the wheel chair is my Great Aunt Dawn. We all went to visit Dawn because we hadn't seen her in a long time. We went to lunch at Marie Calendar's and talked. Then we went back to Tina's and had yummy dessert! It was a great day with family.

My niece gets married

This was a horrible trip for us but it was a joyous occasion. My niece, Britney, got married in the LA Temple on September 25, 2009. She looked so beautiful. She asked me to do the pictures for her and so here are a few that I've proofed. I still have a ton more and will have more pictures later. Now that we are all well, knock on wood, and the holidays are over, I might actually have a moment to finish them. She has been so patient and I love her for that!

Isabella threw up 3 times on he way to LA and then threw up the entire night before the wedding. I was exhausted. She seemed better but threw up the next night too. It was a long weekend but we made it, barely!

Time Out For Women

In September I went to Time Out For Women in Pleasanton. It was so awesome. This is my spiritual uplift for the year. Since I am in Primary and don't get much from church I really need this every year. Angie came with us too this year. We had so much fun. I can't wait for next year in Sacramento! =)

1st day of pre-school

I can't believe that my baby boy is a big boy in pre-school. He is all grown up. It makes me happy and sad all in one!

His first job when he gets to school is to put his lunch box in his cubby.

Then to find an activity to do. He went straight to the train table.

Daddy was able to be there to see him off to his first day. =) He was so excited!

Pre-School Open House

Chase had his pre-school open house on September 11, 2009. He already knew lots of stuff because Isabella went to the same pre-school. He is so excited to start pre-school! He played in the sand most of the time. I just love this picture below! So cute! =)

He had to pick a cubby and he picked the tractor. Papa Tractor would be proud! =)

Chase has 6 teacher they are:

Mrs. Colleen

Mrs. Mary

Mrs. Joni

Mrs. Margaret

Mrs. Elena

Mrs. Bonnie

Grandparents Day

Grandparents Day couldn't have been better. Well, if my Dad had been there it would have been perfect. Isabella really wanted ALL of her grandparents there and it totally worked out that they were all able to be there. When she called to invited Papa Tractor and Grandma Cookie. Grandma Cookie told Isabella that Papa might not be able to come and she told Grandma that she would just invite her other Papa. Since he other Papa passed away I'm not quite sure what she was talking about but it made me really sad that my Dad wasn't able to be there. My mom came all the way from Bakersfield to be there. When I saw that everyone was there I got really emotional. I'm not sure if it was because I missed my Dad or because Isabella was able to have everyone there. Maybe a little both but Grandparents Day was PERFECT!

Chase's birthday day...

For the rest of Chase's birthday day we picked my Mom up from the train station and went to Mongolian BBQ, Chase's choice. Then we went to Toys R Us and Grandma Hockey let Chase pick out a bike that he wanted. We were in there forever!! He finally picked the "perfect" bike. We let him ride it out of the store. He was SO happy.

We finished his birthday off with some cupcakes.

Teddy Bear Picnic

Gym Stars started a "Teddy Bear Picnic" on Chase's birthday. So Kaden and Chase went to it. It was so cute. They played a ton and did some fun things with their teddy bears. Chase and Kaden has so much fun together. Since it was Chase's birthday they sang to him and gave him a special birthday stamp. Chase has to strap in his teddy bear in Isabella's car seat so that he was safe. What a great way to spend your birthday! After the Teddy Bear Picnic we went to Taco Bell for some yummy lunch.

Labor Day in Pismo...

We all love making trips to Pismo to see our family.

First we went to see Jordan play some football. He is an awesome football player! We love watching him. As you can see Isabella and Chase LOVE Hannah (Jordan's girlfriend).

Hanging out with Jordan after his football game.
Isabella and Chase went fishing for the first time with Uncle Danny, Daddy, and Papa Tractor. Uncle Danny ALWAYS finds something awesome for us to do while we are visiting. The kiddos were constantly catching fish. What a great first fishing experience.

This was our last trip to the beach for this trip. As you can see it was beautiful. We were so sad to say goodbye! We hope to be back soon.
Thanks Auntie DD and Uncle Danny for all the great memories we have visiting you. We can't wait to make more! =) We love you tons!!!
