Pumpkin City - Pumpkin Patch 2013

We had a blast at the Pumpkin Patch yesterday morning with our family! It was so  much fun seeing the babies, riding the rides with our cousins and just hanging out. We had lunch together afterward to end a perfect day. Thanks Grammy and Popi!

 

Hat Boy

Vincent has been very into wearing ball caps! He picked out a different one each morning to wear. Let's see this week he has worn two different Spiderman hats, one Batman hat and this A-W (Popi's work). I love this little boy and all the laughs he brings our family!

Go Sparkle #1

 

LA Fair

A few Friday's ago, we went on a field trip to the LA Fair. I had a great time being one of the parent group leaders and getting to spend the morning/afternoon with my girl. We had a fun sheet where we got points for visiting different exhibits - Isabella's favorite was of course all of the art.

 

 

Wizard Of Oz Musical

The girl scout troop got to earn a fun patch by attending the Wizard of Oz the musical last Sunday. It was awesome! You know how much Isabella and I love to see plays. She was in awe!! I had a great time spending the day with her.

 

Proud of my Dad!

My Dad's truck he worked so hard on has been featured in Truckin' magazine this month! I've never know anyone to have their car in a national publication. Check it out if you have a chance.

Love you and we are so proud of you Dad!

 

Pep Talk

I love this picture. I was standing there taking a picture so I actually got to hear what Coach Gabe was saying to my Isabella. Runners were on 2nd and 1st and we were so excited for her 'good eye' to lead to a great hit.

Anyhow, there was a conference on the mound and Coach Gabe was saying, "I'm not worried. You know why? Because YOU'RE ISABELLA! You're my Homerun hitter!!!"

Of course after I was smiling with pride I yelled and said, "No pressure, Bella!"

 

She get's shy. Notice the leaning on the bat and leg up. Ends up that the silly girl running from 2nd to 3rd on a pass-ball decided to actually walk to 3rd base instead of run and there went Isabella's at bat.

I love the Fall Ball season - so much less stress. She is having a wonderful time! Lana's team kicked our booties, but that's okay! GO SPARKLE! GO BLUE ANGELS!  

First Homework Assignment

Here is my little man doing his very first homework assignment. Homework in Pre-k? Yuck! But he was very excited to know once he turns in his homework complete he gets a sticker on his folder. It is funny because I remember the teacher telling me how great Isabella was with using scissors. The same thing with Vincent. Must be because they are around me cutting things all the time and they do little projects of their own!

I love this little boy so much. Thanks Grammy for the pictures!

 

Winter Ball!

Miss Bella started Winter Ball! She absolutely loves it. I forgot to take pictures at her first game where she went 2 for 2, with a walk and 3 RBIs. WOOP!!!! Go BELLA!!!!!!!!!!! 

Texas Trip 2013

This was a strange trip to Texas to say the least, but despite it all we ended up having a good time and did some fun things. I think you all know Bella ended up with pneumonia and we spent a lot of time in the urgent care and at Walmart picking up prescriptions.

 

Isabella had been sick for the week before we left for Texas. She never had a fever, but when we were landing she was crying so hard because her ears hurt super bad. Below were our pictures from Urgent Care - the top one from the day we took her. The bottom one from the follow up on Sunday. The first two days she was not allowed on her Horse and that broke her heart. It was quite an ordeal, especially since the Doctor forgot to mention that they turn into demon-children with the steroids.

 

 

 

Vincent got to drive the Tractor with Popi. I love their faces in the first picture.

 Just some silly pictures of my boy - he keeps us laughing!

 

 

We hung around a lot - playing Monopoly, x-box and on the computer.

FINALLY - Bella got to see Buck and boy was she a VERY HAPPY girl. She hugged Buck right away.

 

 

Uncle David was in State with the Mariners and we met him for lunch. Still not many pictures of Isabella because she was sick and not into me bugging her about photos. The photo of Vincent and Uncle David (his Godfather) is perfect! The photos of Vincent and Daddy are two of my favorites ever!

Perfect picture of my Brother and the 'Rents.

Sunday after Bella's doctor appointment we went to the Mariners/Rangers game. We had a blast and had perfect seats in the shade!

Love these photos of my Cowboy!

 Vincent got to sit on the Donkey (he loves that) and also go on a few rides with Cousin Kristyl's fiancé Matt. He loves riding the Horses and think he might like to follow Sissy's footsteps. It is also very fun to take some rides on the Golf Cart.

One of the last days we had lunch with my Mom's Aunt Betty. She is my Grandpa Vincent's sister. Doesn't my Mom look SO MUCH like her!!?

 And our last day of riding.... Until next time Texas!
