TANAKA FARMS
We went on the annual Tanaka Farms field trip with Chase's pre-school class. This is always a favorite field trip for all the kids. Here is Chase and Olivia:
One of the highlights of the day is going on a wagon ride pulled by a tractor. They take you over to a petting zoo area. This is always a fun time. Chase is not a bit scared by the animals and loves to pet, hug and try to feed the animals. Here he is with a willing goat.
Max came along on the trip.
The whole preschool class.
Here the kids are climbing to the top of a hay tower. I love this picture of Chase!
Another highlight of the trip is the chance to pick vegetables. Each child gets to pick 3 radishes, 3 carrots, 3 green beans, and 3 onions. Look at those HUGE radishes! We made some soup that night and put in his vegetables.
The deal is every child gets to pick a pumpkin off a vine to take home. The only rule is that the CHILD has to be able to carry his/her own pumpkin. Chase really wants a big one so here he is trying to carry out the biggest one he can.

Lori's Birthday!
My college roommate, Stefanie from RICKS happened to be here in Orange County over my birthday weekend. What was just your average birthday turned into something so fun to have Stef here with me to celebrate! She made a birthday cake with my kids --notice the number on the candles-- 29! Yay, I wish...
Here I am ready to dig into the cake

MAX'S 1ST BIRTHDAY
Our little monkey turns 1 on Sept 30. We had a fun celebration for him at the park with friends and family. But before the park, we made his name in pancakes when he woke up on his big day.
At the park:
Jessica (with Olive), Annalee (with Kenndyl) and Christy came to with Max a happy birthday
Owen, Avery, Lexi and Chase playing around
Taylor and Megan eating pizza
Here's the birthday boy

We made cake pops for dessert for the kids. This was my first try at making them and I think they turned out pretty good--we lost a few but this is what we ended up with.
Megan and Max
Grandma Virginia came from Utah to help us celebrate.

Alex's 40th
Alex turns 40 on Sept 4th!! Really crazy. We decide we need to have a big party and what better party to have than one that he really lived in and loved: the 80's! So, we had an 80's party --most came dressed up from the past and we enjoyed Mexican food (Alex's favorite) and of course enjoyed the 80's music.
Here we are--Alex and I
Brett and Christy
Jenny (our fierce margarita mixer--virgin, of course)

Some of our decor: we tried to find some of our old 80's favorites. Aqua Net, Sun In, NERDS, Jane Fonda workout videos, boom box, neon sunglasses, Smurfs, Pictionary, Goonies...the list is endless
