Pumpkin Patch!

This was supposed to be last weekends event, but I came down with a nasty cold, that knocked me off my feet for a couple days. So we had to squeeze the pumpkin patch in on Friday evening. The guys got off early from work so we could go before it got dark. We weren't there for very long, but it was fun. I love this pumpkin patch too. (Banducci's Farm)



The Family



My kids!


Jonathan took this of the pumpkin patch. I took the one of the wagon. A really nice pumpkin patch.

Welcome Home Teresa

Teresa was at camp KEEP all week. She had a great time, but is glad to be home.

We are glad she's home too. I will have her post some pictures on her blog this weekend. Here are some from yesterday's homecoming.

Teresa posted pictures on her blog

Basketball

It was great watching Nathan try to dribble a ball in his sports class. The basketballs were a perfect size, and he didn't do too bad. I think with a little more practice he might get it. They had little hoops for them too, I think he made it in 2-3 times. He would get so dissapointed if he didn't make it in. At one point he was trying to get the ball up through the hoop ;)
Here's a funny little video, he's not really dribbling the ball - but he was having so much fun.





At the end of the video I think he was racing with the ball

Baseball anyone?

Not really baseball, just a little game of catch. We were supposed to go to Nathan's Crazy Sport class again today, but my car didn't start (what is up with my car?!). Instead, we rode the bike to the park with our bat, glove and ball in tow. He had a good time, despite the heat!

A kitty and a fish

Teresa won a fish at the Kern County Fair last night. Her kitty is VERY curious about it.








She was drinking the water - I hope her fish has a good heart and doesn't die from the scare of a cat drinking out of it's bowl

Hart Park

We took a trip to hart park this morning to get pictures, feed the ducks and have a picnic. It was nice. I posted some of the better shots on my photo blog.

Harry Potter Wand

Okay, so Teresa just finished book 7 and refuses to give up the story, so I have spells flying around my house.

She was saving her money to purchase Hermione's wand, and she planned to use it for Halloween to go with her Mother Nature costume. But I saw this site and we decided to give it a try. It was really easy and it's made of PAPER! Needless to say she is quite satisfied and will be saving her money for something else :)
