I do believe it's magic...

I'm not sure what makes the pumpkin patch such a magical place but it once again worked it's magic this year. Maybe it's the brilliant colors or the beautiful mild weather or maybe it's the memories I have of going to the Nut Tree pumpkin patch every year as a kid to see the scarecrow competition. Whatever it is, I love it!
Only in Northern California can you drive through a vineyard in 70º weather to get to the pumpkin patch. It was peaceful and beautiful and there was a lot of fun things for the kids to do. They loved the 5 acre corn maze and Ty loved the straw!
I'm really sad that today is Halloween and come tomorrow it will all be over. I don't feel like I've had my decorations out or been able to enjoy all the pumpkins long enough! This is my absolute favorite time of year! Goodbye Halloween, I'll miss you, can't wait for next year.

I Fly SWA!

Congratulations to Ty on his first flight! My cousin Stephanie, Ty and I flew back to Missouri for 6 fabulous days of rest and relaxation. Ty did fabulously both there and back. Thankfully he is not mobile yet so my lap satisfied him just fine. I also think the high altitude cleared out one of his tear ducts because he has been clear since we got home!

I don't have MO pics on my computer yet so I will share that experience when I get them.

Taking a lesson from the pilot!

He earned his wings!

Paparazzi overload!

I had to post this. This is my cousin Shelley's daughter Elle. Fame has found it's latest victim.

Bad Hair Day!

After a nice sunny day out at the soccer field, we came home and took Ty's baseball cap off. This is what we saw...

It's Miley Mania!

On September 18, 2009 Brian and I surprised the girls by taking them to the Miley Cyrus concert. This was their first concert and they were so surprised. They thought we were going out to dinner and then back to the school for movie night. The hilarious part is we drove through the Caldacott tunnel and they still had no clue we weren't on our way home...HELLO???
Miley put on a great concert and we all really enjoyed it. The girls could not believe they were actually seeing Miley Cyrus in the flesh, what a fun experience for the girls.


*The girls are smiling in the video because when I pulled out my camera to film them I told them I just wanted to take their picture.

Where to begin...

Well, after a hard drive crash and almost losing 8,000 of my photos, I'm happy to say all is well. I've been without my computer for over a month and I have to say, it was a tense but wonderful experience. We need those moments when we think we've lost something so dear to realize what's important in life. It was a pivotal moment when I sincerely realized that I would give, live without or sell anything to get those pictures back. Why? Because my family is the most important thing and the memories we share are priceless.

I have so many postings to catch up on, I don't know where to begin. Definitely scroll down to make sure you haven't missed anything in the Addington family saga!
