RYDEN SHREDS THE CARLSBAD SKATEPARK!

I've been taking Ryden to the skatepark a lot, but he always wants to sit and watch the other kids. He finally got the courage and said "Ry Ry do it" so he jumped on the board and did some 'cool tricks'. Grandma was there and snapped some photos with her Iphone. It was RADICAL!

I'M 2 MONTHS OLD!!

WEIGHT:  11.2 lbs
FAVORITE TOY:  The jungle mat.  Just like his brother when he was a baby.
FAVORITE ACTIVITY:  Watching people talk to him.
MILESTONE:  "Talking". He coos all the time.  It is adorable!  Smiling, grabs for stuff, gives you pounds, turns head to the direction a voice is coming from
DISLIKE:  Not too much this kid dislikes.  He's not a huge fan of the pacifier which we shove in his mouth a lot to sooth him.  He usually spits it out after a few minutes
SLEEP:  The past few weeks have been pretty rough because he has been sick.  Still waking up about twice a night. The first stretch is awesome.  Usually sleeps for 4-5 hours, feeds and goes right back down.  The second half he has such a hard time getting back into that deep sleep.  Plus, being sick hasn't helped.  Hopefully, we are almost past the sickness and can settle into a nice night routine.

Halloween at preschool

The kiddies got to dress up for Halloween at preschool and everyone brought in treats.  Then they all took turns trick or treating with each other. It was cute and chaotic at the same time.  They did pretty good considering they are two!  And I am so surprised we even managed the picture above.  One of the moms was doing this crazy loud pitch yell to get the kids to look.  Her kid is the only one that is smiling (the pirate).  And superman doesn't seem impressed.  

More pumpkin patch fun

This past weekend we headed up to Julian for some Apple pie and pumpkin picking.  The weather said it was going to be a cool 70 degrees.  It was 95!!  But we still had fun.  Ryden even got to pick out his very own pumpkin.

Poor pumpkin that will never have a home

Notice the boots I am wearing.  I almost melted!

Ryden kept staring at this big monster thing up on the ceiling

This is the face we used to give my mom all the time when she wanted to take a gazillon pictures of us.  My how the tables have turned

Got our pumpkin and booked it out of the heat

Not Disneyland

So we had this great plan to take a trip up to Disneyland but after some back and forth decisions, we decided to go to Legoland instead.  It was just TOO hot to truck Trevin all around Disney, not to mention the hour drive and waiting in lines, so we headed to Legoland instead.  It's right down the road so we could leave if it got to unbearable.  It was fun!  We rode rides, splashed in water, and hung out with Ayla and the cousins.  I didn't get a lot of pictures but here are a few.

Ayla sure does love her Ryry

The helicopter ride was broken so thank goodness we found these airplanes to ride instead

Emma and Sara

Happy 2nd Birthday Emma!

We were so excited that Emma was in California for her 2nd birthday so we had to party of course.  We all headed out to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate with the pretty birthday girl.  Emma had on her new birthday outfit...she LOVED her pink shoes.  Ryden loved the dancing and skee ball (tounge out in both pictures...awesome)

Time for cupcakes and presents!  Emma loved her new baby dolls...she sat at the table forever and just played with them

Looks like Savannah had a great time!

Trevin was the life of the party

Happy birthday EMMA!

The Great Pumpkin

Last Wednesday we headed to the Pumpkin Patch.  It happened to be the HOTTEST day ever!!!  Although it was super cute, we were all sweating and miserable.  We managed to pet some animals, pose by pumpkins, and ride some rides before we had melt-down city (from me!)
