Weekend Happenings

These past two weekends have been pure delight. 

The first three day weekend was a Nipomo weekend! 

We so look forward to being invited to the Nipomo house with Grandma and Grandpa. 

Our days there are pure relaxation and pure delight.

Dad and Graham went over a day before Mom and had some boy time.

Gosh I love these boys. 

(How many times can I really say that exact.same.pharse.)

The weather was perfect. Some rain, some shine. 

Exactly what we love. Cozy time mixed with park time.

G-Unit had his first "I'm swinging all by myself" moments.

Seriously? This boy knows how to bring sweet joy to his Mommy.

AND fill Grandma with pure joy as well. 

Thanks mom for babysitting during golf and date excursions! 

It means the WORLD.

We love this sitting up action. 

I also love the smiles that come from Graham when he spills over...

Everything is a grand adventure for GTU.

I'm so thankful for weekends and holidays 

when I get to feed this silly face.

Believe it or not, Graham is listening intently as Gpa explains why some boys and girls cry...

(and why men and women cry...Graham now has his gender roles straight.)

Hello Fall.

Bakersfield seems to skip fall. We may have a few "cool" days here and there but usually we go from 100s-80s and then jump to 50s.

We have to use events to gauge our fall season. The traditions we cling to symbolize the fall months.

2011 was no exception...and now Graham was in tow!

Tradition #1: Nipomo and the Avila Barn!

Nipomo naps. Precious boys.

Aunt Caitlynn and Uncle Zach came to Nipomo! There was a lot of "love on Graham" time...

The fall visit to the Avila Barn. A fall must. So the camera was pretty busy...

My pumpkins.

Not so thrilled pumpkin.

We love them. Obviously.

Grandma and Grandpa joined in the weekend fun.

Alike in so many ways...

Ok, so Graham doesn't have a firm grasp on the fun and tradition that comes with the Avila Barn pumpkin times quite yet... But he will...

...and he will love Fall because of it...fingers crossed.
