GIANTS!

Tony, his cousin Alex and I went to the first home playoff game at AT&T park. It was a gorgeous day in San Francisco! It was a long trip there however. We drove to Geary, got on the WRONG 38 bus, got off, walked a few blocks, then called a cab (which was my original idea, but you know how men are.) Then, on the way back, we got on Muni, got off at the wrong stop, walked a few blocks, got back on Muni, got off, walked a few blocks, got on the 38 and headed back to the car. Then it was off to Pizza Orgasmica . . . need I say more? ;-)

Bishop's Pumpkin Patch

We met with James' preschool class for a field trip to Bishops Pumpkin Patch. It was a fun day, and we got some great shots!
Daddy and Lukey on the Hay Ride!
James and Lucas waiting for the return Hay Ride to take them out of the pumpkin patch!
James and teacher Suzie.
James loves the goats!
Lucas HATED the goats! He went in with his ice cream cone full of goat food and got trampled on by an angry mob of goats. He screamed until I picked him up and took him out.

The Tabacco Brother's Pumpkin Farm! See ya again next year!

Weird things in the backyard . . .

I kept telling Tony I was seeing a RED dragonfly in the backyard. He thought I was nuts. So, I had to snap a picture for proof. He was stunned! Beautiful!

As James and Lucas were napping the other day I noticed this bird sitting on our fence. Not our typical avian visitor. I am not a bird expert, so I am not exactly sure what type of bird it is. It was pretty neat to see though, and I'm glad I got the picture.

Mark and Faith's Wedding

Tony and I went to the wedding of Tony's friend Mark from AMR. Tony always talks about what a talented guy Mark is and how Mark is "the nicest guy he's ever known." Mark and Faith's wedding was beautiful. It was held on a friend's property in Penryn that was just gorgeous. Of course, the bride was beautiful! Mark, being a musician, wrote a song for his new wife that he sang (while playing the piano) during the ceremony. (I think we all got a little tear in our eye!) Mark even danced to Micheal Jackson during the reception . . . moon walk and all . . .
Congrats to Mark and Faith. May you have a lifetime of love and happiness!

Brothers

Playing in the rain makes for two hungry boys!
Their fascination with rain boots and picking all of my green tomatoes continues . . .


James has been fascinated by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Although he calls them the seven little "warfses." Here he is dressed as one. instead of singing "Hi Ho" James sings, "My Hole, My Hole, It's off to work I go . . ." (He keeps us laughing!)

Balloons!

James will say, "we're having a party" and then go get balloons for me to blow up. If I ever try to say no he replies, "but it's your birthday!" Ha ha ha. He always makes sure to get one for Lucas too.

Avocado . . .

Forgot to mention . . . Luke also likes avocados . . .

James' First Day of School

James' first day of the new school year. He was so excited to get back to school!!!!!!

Lukey looks almost big enough to go to school with him! The second day I picked James up from school his teacher said, "We watched a video on cooperation and James raised his hand and gave the definition of cooperation." It just melted my heart. That's a special little man I've got there. I just know he is going to be a wonderful man one day. (and probably the boss too!)

Thor. . . the Norse God . . .

We have a little joke about Lukey being our Norse God, Thor. He is so big, eats everything, and loves the cool morning weather. He will be stumbling down the sidewalk in shorts and a tee shirt giggling and James is tip-toeing behind complaining that he's cold and wants to go in. They couldn't be more opposite. Here we are out to dinner with Lukey man-handling a corn cob.
