This is why I love being a mom!

At the end of the day, regardless of what happens, I have four cute kids that smile at me.

Julian for the day

We decided to head to Julian for the day. It is about an hour and a half away from us. We wanted to go pick apples and be in the crisp fall air. It is up in the "mountains" so to speak.
Anyways, it definitely wasn't like the Utah and Idaho fall's that we are use to, but it was a fun "first" family out since having Kali. It was just nice to get away. It didn't even seem like we were still in Cali. Julian is an old mining town. They had this little place right outside of the town that was set up as if it were still a mining town. After digging for "gold", playing in the hay, feeding the goats, seeing a picked over pumpkin patch, trying to wash clothes we headed to a little pie shop for apple pie. Brett and the kids loved it so much that we order a whole pie to bring home. It was a nice relaxing day.

This is where the kids mined.

The kids loved playing in the hay barrels.

This is the old barn were the goats and other animals live.

The poor pumpkin patch was so pick over. We should have come a week earlier. Oh, well. We loved it regardless.

BRETT 35th BIRTHDAY PARTY

Brett got these sweet pictures of Cory gliding over the beach in La Jolla. Cory loves to para glide, and I am glad he got a chance to do it when he was out here.

BRETT'S FAMILY AT LEGOLAND

It was fun spending the day at Legoland with cousin's and grandparents.

MY BABY SHOWER

My too kind friend jenny threw me a shower. I told her I didn't need a shower because it was my fourth baby, but she insisted. I said I wanted to have it to celebrate the fact that "I am done" having kids. ;) Anyways, it was an awesome shower. So many people from the church came and helped. Also, my good friend, Jana, from San Diego made it up to the shower. It was a wonderful time. Kali and i got spoiled.

DINNER AT RUBY ON THE PIER

Brett's parents came out to see cute Kali. It was so nice to see them and have them her for a few day. We did some fun things while they were here.
