I know everyone has said this, but Fall is my favorite season! I love the leaves changing, but mostly i love that it is jeans and sweatshirt season! I love football season and sitting around watching football games with Eric. This year we decided Q was old enough to do some fun activities. We went to a corn maze, and picked pumpkins, went on a hay ride.

Even though it rained while we were picking out pumpkins it was still amazing. Now to take Q to a football game!

My parents decided to have a little family gettogether in St. George. Unfortuantly Eric couldn't get off work, so that meant I got to fly with the 2 kids. Donald and Emma were on my flight so I we had 3 adults to 3 kids.

Before Take off.

Ellie wanted to chat with all the other people on the flight.

Eating a pop tart and watching a movie like a boss.

As soon as we got to my parents house, Q went straight for his toys and shared some with Ellie.

We also went to Jon and Cyndy's and swam. It was super hot, and he could have swam in their pool, but he really liked swimming in their "little pool" The hot tub was only like 94 degrees so it wasn't too hot for him.

We also had to do some yard work around the house. Q thought working in the rocks with a shovel was the greatest thing ever!

Q, Audrey and Grandpa

This boy loves dirt

We went to a park, and this gang of ducks attacked us. The Goose was the leader.

Donald and Ellie were in the playground for protection.

Q made a new friend Luke. He was so excited to have another little boy to play with.

Pretending they were monkeys.

And our flight home. Till Thanksgiving!!

WARNING: This will be picture overload since I have 5 months of activities to catch up on.

Basically since Christmas I feel like life has gone non stop! We spent Christmas in San Jose at my parents new house. It was awesome, we went on adventerous, exploring this new area that my parents now call home.

First thing we did, was take Q on a train. As you can see from the picture he was pretty excited.

Q loves his cousin Ellie.

We then went with Donald, Emma and Ellie to Half Moon Bay. Donald and Eric dreamed about when they could play the course.

Then we had to do a Christmas Train ride. Next year we are going to do the Polar Express. It will be awesome. Q still loves the train whistle Santa gave him. I tend to hide it.

My Dad got a Ricochet car for Christmas so we went to the church parking lot and played with it. Q both loved it and feared it. He liked when it would drive away and hit the curb, but if it was coming back at him he had to run away or be held. He loves his Grandpa!

We couldn't make a trip without going to Pebble Beach. It was SO beautiful! We had lunch there and again, the boys dreamed about playing the course.

Another day we all went to Monterey to walk to boardwalk and play in the ocean! It was pretty cold since it was December, but so beautiful!

After Christmas, Eric and I went on the company cruise I had been planning. There were over 500 people on this cruise that I was in charge of! I had been planning it since August, and was so excited that it was finally here! We went to the West Caribbean, which was tons of fun. The trip included activities every night, like Disco Parties, Formal Night, White Out Party. During the days we went on Zip Lining excursions, Cave Tubing, and just days and the coolest beaches. Writing about it now makes me want to go back!

Don't mind the picture. This was taken just after we watched the Seahawks play to go on to the Super Bowl. There were only 4 people in the entire bar rooting for the Seahawks. It was super intense. While we were celebrating the other 2 people accidentally spilt their beer on me, but since we were late for formal night, I only had time to change my clothes and run to dinner. Oh man, that game was amazing.

We also went to a Seahawks game in January! We are already making plans to go to another one.

Right before we went on the cruise we found out we were pregnant. Had no clue. I know I'm one of those didn't know I was pregnant annoying people. We decided not to find out what we are having. We figure since the pregnancy itself is a surprise we are going to keep everything about it a surprise.

For my Birthday Eric got me an overnight stay at Salish Lodge with a massage. It was amazing! Eric's parents watched the little monster for us.

For Erics Birthday, his dad dropped the cake on him, and I got him tickets to the US Open Golf tournament in June. He is going to have so much fun!

The rest of the time has just been going to Mariner Games with Neal and Wilson. They are the cutest buddies.

Playing with Trains

Trips to the Zoo

Trips to St. George to visit cousins and attend baby Showers. St. George was SO much fun! We played in the pool and went to the park. Also went to the Sand Dunes!
