pumpkin patch










hello and happy halloween!
yesterday we made the beautiful drive out to the applegate valley to visit the pumpkin patch. it seemed more like a summer day but surrounded by dashes of yellow, orange and red vibrant trees. we decided the pumpkin patch was more about taking pictures of their "first" visit to the pumpkin patch this year! :) katie and izaak cruised down from corvallis so that was sure a treat. brev and izaak picked up some darling mini pumpkins that we'll carve tonight. matt was the photographer yesterday, i think he got some real keepers!
caught in the action sucking his thumb! :)

a trip to nor.cal





last weekend we went down to san fran to participate in the nike women's marathon, we did the half. it was a beautiful run through the golden gate park, along fisherman's warf and the final few miles were along the pacific ocean. matt and brev met us at the finsh line. brev slept his first full night the night before the run. i'm pretty sure he knew his mommy needed a GOOD night sleep.



random pics




matt and i are taking a photography class. here is our first assignment - eggs. just take a picture of eggs??? no instructions - and whola...:)


and below is our recent family gathering...we couldn't pry brev out of my little brother's arms...he loves the little man so much!

izaak and brev in eugene!



these two boy's together are amazing to watch. katie (my sister in law) and i are able to relate VERY well to our little boy's growth and development. izaak was born a month after and quite a few more lbs than brev and there finally just about the same size. izaak is here until january so we're trying to see him as much as possible.

mama and brev fast asleepboys v. girls...winner - not us


a common trend is appearing on our blog :)...i'm posting about every three weeks and cramming it all in :( so sad!


anyway, we went back to sunriver because brev loves it so much :) with our friends! enjoyed a nice weekend of bowling, snuggling into the cabin with the fireplace and a bit of wine tasting at home. brev got plenty of love and holding from all the girls!
