It's Fall In The Air!!

What's Fall without a couple of trips to the Pumpkin Patch?  

The first of these pictures was taken at Bella Frutta owned by some dear friends of ours!  

Jed loves to take trips to Bella Frutta to see Vinci and all the wonderful fruit and nuts and yummy stuff in the fruit stand/store.

Jed just had to taste the straw - with a little help from grandma!  Farmers are always chewing on a piece of straw right??

 I feel trapped by the pumpkins!  But I guess I'll grin and bear it for these crazy people with black objects stuck to the front of their face while trying to make me smile!!

 This apple is more my size!!

These last three pictures are from a Pumpkin Patch south of Fresno.  Mr. Jed sure enjoyed having pumpkins and a tractor his size!!

 Jesse, Allie, & Jed Penner - such a precious family!!

 Hop on!  I'm sure I can drive this thing!!

Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely fall weather!!

ONE YEAR CELEBRATION!!

Eric and I had the privilege of driving down to celebrate Lauren's one year sober birthday!!

We had an awesome weekend and on the last day grabbed some photos!!

 Dalton (sober 2 years - we celebrated his "birthday" too!), Lauren, Eric and me.

 Our treasure!

 No day goes by without a few practice swings!!

 Lauren and Dalton

 Lauren and her daddy!!

Lunch at an amazing Thai place in Malibu with some of Lauren's dear friends!!

We are so proud of Lauren's day to day walk and we are amazed and humbled by the friends that sit at this table in support of her and each other.  Love you all!

One Day With Mr. Jed

My favorite place to play is in grandma's kitchen.

She has a few cupboards that I can dig in!

 First I need to get these bowls out.  They make lots of noise when they hit the floor!

 After a while I figure out I can't get them all out at once.

 Uh oh!  Found a glass one.  Grandma snatched that one up quickly!

 Success at last!  I love to push them on the floor and listen to the noise they make.  I also love to clank them together!!

 On to play with my red wagon.  I love to push it all over the place!

 Oh!!!  I hear the garage door opening!!

Yea!!  Grandpa is home . . . I got a hug before you did grandma!!!

Ahhh . . . the sweetness of a grandson!

Crazy Little Scrunchy Face!

Mr. Scrunchy face loves to laugh and smile!  He loves to make this funny little face where he scrunches his nose and squints his eyes!  I just love this little boy!!  Bye the way, his mom used to make the funniest faces . . . maybe that will be my next post!!

Baby boy's sweet smile!

This is the best!!  I love riding on my daddy's shoulders!

Everything makes me laugh!!

Random Pics

A couple of random pictures!  

Jed visiting Grandpa at work and Allie and Jesse in Monterey this summer.

Little Man, Grandpa and Football!

Little man and grandpa spent a little of the morning (I say little because an almost 10 month old's attention span is well . . . little) watching football.  Grandpa has dreamed of this day since Jed was born, not to mention dreaming of football from the closing play of the Superbowl until it starts again in the fall.  The picture is from my iPhone - so its not perfect, but I could not resist.  My heart melted when I looked over and saw this.  Enjoy!!

Mr. Bulldog

You might know that we are Bulldog Fans and help with the medical needs of the school's athletes.  Our grandson will grow up going to Bulldog games and hopefully being a fan of the various teams.  Who knows, maybe one day he will even go to school and become a bulldog like his mommy and daddy!

His parents found this little costume for him to wear his first Halloween . . . he makes a pretty cute "dog" don't you think?  Sometimes I just want to take a little "doggy bite" out of him he is so cute!!
