Rachael's Visit in June

I know this is all the back in June, but hopefully I can somewhat catch up so I can actually post all my cute pumpkin patch pics this month!!


The one good thing about having a husband gone ALL of the time is all the many people that love us and come spend time with us!! I am so lucky to have such amazing people in our life! Jude, of course LOVES it too!

My sister Rachael, was able to come out and brought one of her two cute boys with her. Josh, who is 5 years old is SUCH a big boy cousin for Jude. They are both OBSESSED with each other. Every Since Jude was in my tummy, Josh always would talk about Jude, and how much he loves him. Well I guess someone was listening in their, cause now they seriously do not get enough of each other!

We had a blast with them, and were so sad to say goodbye! We went to the ZOO, the beach, Swimming....and it's been so long I can't think what else we did! I do know that it was (as always) non stop fun!

We love you Josh and Rach!!






Must start somewhere!




Watching the DUCKS, he patted next to him so I would come and sit next to him, LOVE him!

GREEN week, we are doing the color GREEN this week, another reason why I wanted to take him to a park, GREEN GRASS

So I know I have been Horrible about blogging! Every time I think about it I just get overwhelmed because I have SO MUCH to blog about! SO I keep putting it off, I don't know why I wont learn that the longer I put it off the bigger my pile will get!!

We had such a fun summer here in LA! We had so many visitors that I need to post, so many fun friends for Jude Bug, and enjoying all the free things here too! A girls trip in St. George, Lake Powell trip of Cole and Jude, (still need pics from that), Vegas trip with some close friends,a baby shower that was enchanting like a wedding, and so MUCH more, do you see how this is overwhelming?? It's okay I am not going to complain, that is my new goal, stop complaining and just embrace life! If I start on it now, then I could use it as a 2011 goal.

Anyway so I am starting back in the blogging life with one foot in, and hopefully I can get to do it more often, like my goal for October is FOUR post, this is post #1.

JUDE"S QUACKY DAY

Yesterday, October 14th Jude went down for his nap a little earlier than usual, so he woke up a little earlier than usual. Perfect for feeding the ducks in the afternoon. This certain park is only open Wedn.-Sat. 9-5pm, so we have to start heading over there by 3:30 so we can have a good hour of fun! AND FUN IT WAS! I love this age of Jude he is so FUNNY, and he thinks so too! He knows when he is in trouble, he starts laughing and running away from me!! Anyway he LOVED the ducks, birds, and Geese! We feed them my old gluten free bread, my poor family, I didn't even realize we were out of bread, cause I don't eat it. So we just had some old gluten free stuff. The birds loved it!!! Jude would throw the bread and just laugh and laugh when they would eat it all up, it got to the point of claustrophobia for me, the birds that were on our side of the fence were getting a little too close for comfort. Anyway, we ran out of the bread so I bought a bag of bird food there (for 25cents) and thought Jude would know to throw it like the bread....this is what happened.....





as you can see the goose took a bite of Jude's finger. It didn't hurt him, just scared him, but I was so mean, I couldn't stop laughing, sorry but it was funny how it all went down.

No worries, we washed our hands and got over quickly!

We had such a fun time together, it seems like we are mostly with other people, so I do love when we can go do things just the two of us!! I can't wait until we can go again!
