Bishops Pumpkin Patch (Part 1)

We made two different trip to Bishop's this year. We enjoyed the gorgeous weather and went this time as a family of 5! The kids had so much fun. We went early in the season and in the middle of the week. It was hardly busy and much more enjoyable then last year.

Apple Hill Pics

Ryan and I started a tradition in 2008 of going to Apple Hill and getting our picture taken in the same spot every year. It's fun to see how much our family has changed throughout the years.

Tractor Ride

While we were in Yuba City visiting family and friends, Noah and Emma were able to go harvest some rice with my Uncle Mike. My uncle has worked for John Deere for many years and is now in charge of the store in Robbins. We were able to take the kids out to one of the farms where they were able to get into the drivers seat of 2 different tractors! They had so much fun and every time we see a tractor they talk about this experience with Uncle Mike.

Apple Hill 2011

We braved the 2 1/2 hour drive and took our family of 5 to Apple Hill this year! It was quite an adventure with a 1 month old. Noah & Emma had a blast while Ryan and I were exhausted. The kids and I did get to enjoy a freshly made apple cider doughnut. I look forward to those every year!

Ryleigh's Birth Announcement

We had one of my very dear friends, Samantha, design Ryleigh's birth announcement using the pictures that Eden took. Here is her fabulous work!

Baby Pictures

We had the very talented Eden Thome from Eden Rose Photography take Ryleigh's newborn pictures. She came to our house and was here for almost 2 hours. Here are some of my favorite shots from her shoot. Enjoy!
