<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mr. Wonderful had gone to pick the Boy up for school and the Girl was napping. The two had no idea what we had planned for them when one arrived home and the other woke up from napping!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/29/186.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/29/s_186.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had told the kids we would carve pumpkins but never gave them a date and time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/29/187.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/29/s_187.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have learned once you do that they will ask and ask if its time until it is time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/29/188.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/29/s_188.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so sweet when I told them we had a surpise for them and opened the door to the backyard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/29/189.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/29/s_189.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They ran for their pumpkin muffins, the family's favorite this time of year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/29/190.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/29/s_190.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pumpkin carving began. My husband was carving because I am still having hand and arm pain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/29/191.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/29/s_191.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had to stop for a minute because the Boy did not understand why Daddy was hurting the pumpkin with the knife. We explained to him that the pumpkin was not a person but thing put on earth for us to enjoy by eating and cutting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/29/192.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/29/s_192.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Girl treated the pumpkin like she treats everything else. She talked to the pumpkin,</div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/29/193.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/29/s_193.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she kissed the pumpkin, and called it cute over and over!</div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/29/194.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/29/s_194.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then it was time for showtime a.k.a lights time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/29/195.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/29/s_195.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We lit them up one by one and "ooh" & "awe" was repeated by the Boy and Girl!<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/29/196.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/29/s_196.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mr Wonderful and I was all smiles because our surpise turned out so well and we enjoyed it too!!!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2205.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2205.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this time of the year! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2206.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2206.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the things I love most are all the pumpkins!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2207.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2207.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as Fall hit I was looking for a good ole Pumpkin Patch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2208.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2208.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A patch where there would be scarecrows, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2209.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2209.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a corn maze, a tractor ride, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2210.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2210.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and plenty of pumpkins! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2211.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2211.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found it after a little research. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2212.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2212.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was about 30 minutes from our house but so worth the ride.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2213.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2213.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband was skeptical as I gave him directions to this patch that was placed in a country part of town.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2214.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2214.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we arrived we were both amazed with the kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2215.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2215.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It had all I wanted plus a "Barn Show" and a cute country store with great snacks that we partook.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2216.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2216.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I of course enjoyed capturing all this on my camera. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2217.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2217.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was just a perfect time with my imperfect family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2218.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2218.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved seeing my kids glow as they watched the "Barn Show",</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2219.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2219.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
got lost in the maze</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2220.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2220.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
picked out their pumpkin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2221.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2221.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and rode on the tractor! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/24/2222.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/24/s_2222.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moments like these I tell myself I can't complain about anything because I realize how blessed I truly am!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Before)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next month will be a year that we have been in the house that we have come love! One of the major reasons we love it is because of our backyard. When praying for a house a request I had to God was a backyard that I would enjoy looking at from our windows. We have also enjoyed hosting many barbecues,dinners on the deck, birthday parties, play dates, and plenty of space for kids to run around safely! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/03/1540.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/03/s_1540.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Before)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The backyard is the only place we have invested money into fixing up thus far. I have many plans for the house but will be content until the time & money is right. Investing in the backyard has been one of our best investments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/03/1541.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/03/s_1541.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(After)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we moved in there was only a small patch of grass,dirt everywhere, and one too many trees. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/03/1542.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/03/s_1542.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(After)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We(meaning we paid landscapers $) added a whole lot of grass, cut down one tree (to let more light come to the deck), added rocks, some plants, mulch, and a bench to sit under our still existing big tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/03/1543.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/03/s_1543.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also invested in some patio furniture from Big Lots and an area rug from Costco.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/03/1544.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/03/s_1544.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom gifted us with thus outdoor table she was not using in her backyard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/03/1545.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/03/s_1545.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we got the tree cut I asked the tree cutting guys to save me two logs for side tables on the deck. I wish I would have asked for more!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/03/1546.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/03/s_1546.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" /></a></center>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that everything is completed (until more ideas get put into place next spring) we time to time put these kids outside. They enjoy a Cousin Tea Party & love the backyard too! </div>

After residing in Southern Cali for 10 years and then moving back to Northern Cali I have grown a more appreciation for the noticeable seasons. I think it also has a lot to do with having kids too! I have become just more mindful and appreciative of life & the simple things that come with it. </div>

Just writing the title of this post I feel so much responsibility. My sweet & sassy Girl is in the midst of her Terrific Twos. She has been so emotional & sassy when she can't get her way. It has been a bit a struggle for me being that I am in the midst of my hormonal pregnancy.</div>

The other day as I was painting my toenails as the kids were playing outside. My little Girl came and sat next to me. She explained so clearly that she wanted to be just like me & have her toes colored too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We were suppose to be leaving soon to do errands so I explained to her that I would do hers later. The little girl would not let it go. Nicely & so sweet she expressed that she really wanted it done now!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been working on her expressing herself nicely. One, I was proud of her. Two, it dawned on me that I could make a special moment out of her request.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I realized that errands could wait and me investing in my daughter should not. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had such a good time painting her little toe nails for the 1st time and I will forever remember it. She was so excited to show them off to her Daddy and Brother. I felt good that I was investing in her love bank. I was also making progress on winning her heart. I know in the future when she becomes older I want the chance to have her ear. In order for her really listen to my advice I need to have her heart!</div>

He is scheduled to begin Kindergarden in Fall 2014. We have looked at all our options(home school,private, and public).

<div style="text-align: center;">
I looked at my 1st born and all my thoughts started to roll. I started to go down memory lane and remember bringing him home from the hospital, his 1st time crawling, lst steps, his first words, and the tears started to stream down. Thank God I had my sunglasses on and JJ did not see me cry. I turned to Mr. Wonderful and explained that I could not control my emotions. He told me to try to hold it in until we got in the car. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
JJ had his tears roll too and we gave him a hug good bye.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cried hard and long after we got in the car and back home. As I prayed to God. I realized that I was totally at peace and was happy with JJ starting school but the problem was that it hurt that he has grown up so so fast. <br />
A couple hours later we picked him up. He had a great 1st day and his teachers said he did well! He is excited to go back and I think I am getting stronger.</div>

Holding their hands, hearing their little giggles, and sharing moments like this with them feels so good! I was glad once again that we chose to take a family vacation when we could of thought of a thousand reason not to. Every moment felt so priceless on our Family Vacation 2013! Stay tuned to Part III</div>

Two weeks ago we embarked on our family vacation for 2013! My dream goal is to have a family vacation every year and then just a vacation with just Mr. Wonderful and I. We decided to go to San Diego this year with the family! We left on a tuesday at 0500am in the morning, thinking that the kids would transition well into the car & go right back to sleep. That was a total negative. The Girl did not take a nap until 1145am and she went down with a fight! The Boy is an Angel on long car rides and very content with looking out the window, talking, singing, and IPad time.</div>

The skateboard also came with knee and elbow pads & Mr. Wonderful stating that he will only let him ride it under his supervision.</div>

We brought my niece so she could be a great example for the kids, on how to sit still during a whole movie. We survived the whole movie but we had some moments that revealed that they are not quite ready. Trial and Error! It was still so cute at experiencing them watch their 1st movie!</div>
