sometimes you get a single red rose in your car on your anniversary...

for a night of wine, fabulous food & some 'time'...

pumpkin patch 2010!

WOW, another year, another pumpkin patch!  

one more month & she'll be '3' !!  it's hard for me to even think about, 

but i must admit, i am enjoying her little personality so much & look forward to every new day. 

i'm a little behind on my posts.  we actually went to the pumpkin patch two weeks ago & i haven't had a chance to post about it yet.  the day couldn't have been better.  we had popcorn, homemade ice cream, apple cider, rode a hayride & picked out quite a few pumpkins.  

every year gets better & better with my sweet little pumpkin! 

so much has gone on since our trip to fl & i've had little time to sit & focus on posts.  we've been spending time enjoying this fabulous time of year that also happen to include birthday's & anniversaries!!  

we had a terrific time visiting our family in fl.  i must say too, october is a wonderful time to visit fl - the weather was absolutely perfect & so pleasant! 

we had family day at the beach, had some fun pool time, ate out way too much ;-), went to the zoo (finally got to feed those beautiful giraffes), did halloween crafts with the little ones & had an early birthday celebration!  

isabella always has a great time when we go, but this time she was overly excited & keeps talking about going back 'tomorrow'.  she told us all 'several' times what a good time she was having.  she is such an appreciative child!  i can't tell you how proud she makes me.  

here are just a few of the snapshots for our memory bank . . .  

until our next trip! 

lot's of happy memories!

 

the weather here in fl couldn't be better.  we've been enjoying our visit with family & isabella & maxwell have been getting along great.  we've been to the beach, swam in the pool, shopped, out to lunch & dinner & the kids got to do fun halloween crafts, oh & also made cookies.  
how cute is bella's witch!
 

we are off to the zoo later this morning. 

loving this fall weather!!  it's so nice having the windows open & no air conditioning.  bella & i are headed to fl tomorrow to visit family, while daddy heads to san fran on a business trip.   we can't wait to see everyone & bella always gets so excited to fly.  we haven't even started packing yet, so today we'll be spent running errands & packing.  
a decision has been made on isabella's halloween costume & boy, how cute she will be!!  she's so excited for halloween this year & can't wait to trick-or-treat.  now off to the million & one things that need to be done today! ;-)  

 
  once upon a time. . .
