We've Been Boo'ed!


My friend told me that she had been "boo'ed." So I decided to try to start "boo'ing" in our neighborhood. Unfortunately, their Halloween spirit has yet to spread. I found the most decorated houses in the neighborhood, but they still haven't passed along the spirit. Boo on them! Anyways, we had most of the treats. I bought the bags and tossed on some early purchased Halloween candy and everything else we had! I hope they pass it on soon! Ashton and I had fun taping the signs on their door and leaving a special treat for them to enjoy!

Ashton's "Project" Day

Ashton keeps asking for projects to do! Preschool has been doing a number on him! We finally went to Michael's and he picked one out. We, and by we I mean, I wasn't very successful at it.

This is what it was supposed to be... a haunted gingerbread house

Ad libbing the rest of the house

Since the sides kept falling off and the house came crashing down, this is what survived!


Tim at the Park

More park days gave me another attempt to capture Tim for his "1 year" pics despite him now being close to 15 months! Sheesh! Poor third child syndrome. But I'm trying! I just can't seem to get that picture of him standing up that is adorable!

Overexposed but oh such a cute shot!


Silly kiddo


Probably the cutest one

Playing in the water

All of a sudden he's attached to this blanket. Oh so gross when he drags it around the park!

Day at the Zoo

We joined the Moms club to take a visit to the Fresno Zoo. They have a new sea lion exhibit that is similar to other underground aquariums. Not quite the extent of other aquariums but still cool!

Vancouver Trip - Minus the Kids!

We had the chance of a lifetime to attend a traditional Hindu Indian wedding for one of M's law school friends. We jumped at the chance to not only witness their wedding but also ventured out into a new country, Vancouver, Canada. It was such a wonderful weekend for M & I to reconnect. Thanks to my parents for watching the kids and allowing us some kid-free time! Since everyone comments I am never in a picture, here are quite a few of Matt & I together!

Enjoying a water bus to transport us to Granville Island

On the yacht ride for what I considered similar to the wedding rehearsal, except they included the entire wedding! Nice!
