Kindergarten Photos

We recently got back Noah's Kindergarten photos and I just love them. He's such a handsome little guy and growing up way too fast!

He's doing great in school and we couldn't be prouder of him.

Pumpkin Patch Fun

We hit up Uesegi Farms over the weekend with my sister & Dad and had a great time! It was crowded so I don't recommend going on a Saturday, but fun was still had.

They have 2 train rides, a carousel, petting zoo, hayride, pumpkin weigh off, food vendors, live music, two corn mazes and our personal favorite, the pumpkin blasters.

Disneyland with Nana

I'm a little late to the game on this post. Sorry Nana...

We drove down to Disneyland in August and Nana met us there for a few days to enjoy Mickey and the sun. We celebrated Nana's birthday, ate lots of yummy treats and had so much fun!

Day 2 | California Adventure

Noah on the zipline at the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. We'd never gone in here before, but now think it's a must see. So fun!

Apple Hill

We went apple picking with my sister, Stefanie, this past weekend at Apple Hill in Camino, CA and had the best time. It's right outside Placerville which is about 1.5 hours from Lake Tahoe. The weather was very warm, but these apple cinnamon donuts helped out a lot.

On Sunday we visited Pushkin's Bakery in Mid-Town Sac which was super yummy. I'm always a little cautious when trying new GF items, but their cinnamon sugar donuts and pumpkin breads were really good.

These yummy pastries were enjoyed at Temple Fine Coffee in Mid-Town as well. I'm a Starbucks girl through and through but surprisingly enough I've never had a coffee with the fancy foam but have always wanted one. I was so excited to order this Vanilla Latte and it was DELISH!

Favorite Blogger EVER!

I met my favorite fashion blogger, Julia Engal, from Gal Meets Glam a few weeks back in Palo Alto and she was just as stunning as she is on her blog. She was so kind and took her time to talk to me.

She's started her blog back in collage at UOP where she met her hubby and he recently left his job to become her photographer. They are this adorable couple who are really going places with several new projects in the works. And they're so young...23!

Love her!

1st Day of Kindergarten

Noah started Kindergarten almost 2 months ago now. I can't believe we are the parents of a Kindergartener. My does time fly!

He's loving school, his classmates and thankfully after school care as well. When I pick him up each evening he's the life of the party with all the kids. It's been so fun to watch.

The hubby drops him off each morning and I'll pick him up. It's been fun meeting all the new parents and attending a few PTA and school events so far.

Aquarium Family Adventures

We purchased season passes to the Monterey Bay Aquarium earlier this year and only just made our second visit this past weekend. The boys had a great time running around (literally) to each exhibit and experiencing all the aquarium had to offer.

There's so much to see and do here, we never seem to get it all done in one visit. We did fit in a 15 minute presentation & video about Great White Sharks which I though was just fantastic. A must see!

Whole Foods had several local vendor booths at the aquarium on this particular day from children's activities to tasty treat samples. It was really amazing to see all the local vendors that Whole Foods carries. The organic chocolate bars were probably our favorite.

Puffins!

I seemed to be the only one in our family that though all these little "nemo's" were so cool.
