Pumpkin Patch

 

 

 

For Seth's first visit to a pumpkin patch I took him to the Hill Crest pumpkin patch in Reedley. They had a train ride, a hiking trail, and a darling little pumpkin patch fit with child-size tractors. We didn't have to rush, so we stayed for a few hours and had a great time!

 

This past Saturday I participated in the 2008 Light the Night Walk for the Lukemia & Lymphoma Society. This is the second year that I have been the Team Captain for Team BP&F. My wonderful firm makes a generous donation and that along with my other fundraising efforts netted $1,800 this year!

BP&F Tailgate party

 

 

After walking around in piles of fertilzer all day I got to pick up Seth and spend the evening with him and my mom at my firm's annual tailgate event on the Fresno State campus. It was also my mom's 55th birthday...Happy Birthday, Mom! Hawaii beat us, but it was a good game and Seth seemed to really enjoy himself, charming the pants off everybody.

Fertilizer galore

This past Saturday I was working hard trying to determine the weight of this pile...

Big Boy bed

My baby is now ready for a big boy bed...that is if he wants to actually sleep in it instead of our bed, which I don't mind one bit. Yesterday we bought him a Backyardigans bed and put it next to our bed in our bedroom. My plan is to get him used to it before I beginning weening him (vacation is scheduled for the week of Oct. 27th to do this), so that he will feel comfortable. He was excited yesterday as we kept telling him it was his big boy bed and he actually slept in it for 10 whole minutes last night!

Mama's shoes

When we were leaving the house to head to Grandma's Seth insisted that he wear my shoes...by the time we made it to Grandma's he had fallen asleep, but the shoes were still on. My cat, Mama Kitty is getting old and required many tests this week as I could tell she just wasn't herself. You can see her in this picture...Seth loves when she rides with him in the car.

Disney LIVE!

This past week I took Seth to see the touring production of Disney LIVE! He enjoyed raising his arms in the air and blasting off with the Little Einsteins and stomping his feet while doing the hot dog dance. We went with my co-worker and her 2-year old son, Loghan...you can see him here giving some type of instructions to Seth.

Rocket pops

I bought these really cute popsicle molds that are the shape of rocket ships. I pureed some berries, yogurt, and a touch of sugar and made Seth some yummy popsicles, which as you can see he seems to love! Note Zoe trying to get in on some popsicle action.

What I didn't do...

Let's see...this past week I didn't leave a pile of dirty dishes in the sink because my hubby promised he would do them and I want to make a point...oh and I haven't continued this into this week because he STILL has not done them. Nope didn't do that.

I also didn't cry as I drove away from my son who was in his Grandma's arms crying "Mama" with his little bottom lipped puffed out, while at the same time not cursing at the fact that I have to leave him to go to a job.

Fun in August...

Here are a couple of pictures from August. I just love the look of sheer joy on his face as he was taking the petals off the rose bush and he loves to mow the lawn. We also went to Gilroy Gardens and had a blast on all the rides…this was his first time going on any ride by himself. He didn’t mind a bit.

Fraud is all around us

In an all day fraud class today. Very interesting instructor...

Future plumber

Here is Seth chilling in front of the TV. I was laughing so hard I could barely hold the camera still.

July, after the fact

I thought I'd do a quick post with the highlights from last month. We went to Loghan's birthday party where Seth got a cape and balloon sword, Seth had a blast playing in the water when it was 105 out, then we were off to the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad, traveled to San Francisco where I had CPE for 3 days and Seth enjoyed playing with the phone in our hotel room, played in the water at Carson's (our 3 year old neighbor) birthday party, and just overall had a great time!

#102079

It is finally official...I am a CPA. In fact I am CPA #102079. After all the hard work, heartache, and feelings of inadequacies this number means so much to me!

All aboard the choo choo train

Not the best picture but here is Seth looking out the window of the Amtrak train as we travel to Merced to visit my dear college friend Jen.

Also here he is showing you how a giraffe eats, which he picked up yesterday at our visit to the zoo.

No longer bare

Hubby got a great deal on these iron wall hangings at the Costco in San Francisco, so of course he bought 2...one circle, one square. We hung one in the back and one in the front and I must say I really like the flare they add to the previously bare walls.

Sleeping like a baby...

Seth slept during the ride up to the Yosemite Mountain Sugarpine Railroad. I think he is really going to enjoy this little outing. Choo-Choo!!!

Gotta wear shades

Mmmm spaghetti...
