Stomp The Yard

Grandma and Grandpa Grandpa came bearing gifts for the kids, one of which was this Stomp Rocket for West. A perfect choice given that it involves jumping and projectiles. Aaron, the kids and I took it outside for a spin last weekend and a great time was had by all. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Grandpa! We hope you enjoy the hilarious expressions on West's face as he sends those rockets soaring over 100 feet in the air!

Pretty Boy

Now that Tate is sporting a smashing new haircut (thanks Grandma!), I can share these photos from a second "came home from daycare with a barrette in his hair" incident. Adorable. My apologies, teenage Tate!

Fall Frolic

With Thanksgiving and a wonderful visit from Grandma & Grandpa Grandpa (and Ryan, Sanem, and Roan) behind us, it was time to head out in search of fall foliage to toss. The weather was gorgeous and we didn't have to go far to find more leaves than we knew what to do with! Everyone got in on the fun - even Tate.

Copycat

Not to be outdone, Tate donned a hat of his own in response to West monopolizing the green cap. He's a true hat fan! Hilarity and cuteness ensued.

Hat Trick

Miracle of miracles, West decided he wanted to wear a hat last weekend. It was too small for him but we ran with it anyway. He cut quite the figure in his cap and curls. May this be the beginning of many more accessories!

Dude Looks Like a Lady

Tate came home from daycare the other day sporting a darling barrette. Poor light and future fallout be damned, I had to snap a few photos. Isn't he scrumptious?

Day Trip to China

The kids love to run around this Chinese Pavilion, which, in addition to being a great place to burn off toddler and pre-schooler energy, is incredibly picturesque. Next time I'll try to take straighter photos.

Fairy Tale

We recently ventured across the Bay to Fairy Land, a quaint and wonderful place where fairy tales com alive and kids have loads of fun. Tate LOVED the bubbles. He's a sucked for bubbles. They had him at hello.
