Pumpkin Huntin...

Our pumpkin search....
We went to Dutchhollow Pumpkin Farm which is just minutes from our home with some friends from our home church. We had a great time watching all the kids pick out their pumpkins.
Leah really loved this white pumpkin. You can't really tell but she used all her energy rolling to her wagon and picking it up to put it in.


Trick or treat!!


The perfect Conner pumpkin.

Scrappin good time!

This year for my birthday I really wanted to spend the day scrapbooking with my favorite people! I was able to book Karens Monscheins workshop from 9 to 5 on Oct. 6th. Best of all, I made my mom join in the fun. She liked to play it off that scrapbooking stressed her out, but she has great time. She ended up using my Cricut machine to make a bunch of Christmas tags. See mom! I knew you would have fun!


CC and Lorene having fun!


Nancy and the Heathers! Love the sign!


Katie finding the perfect paper.

Leah loves her cake!

Leah is enjoying mommy's birthday cake!

Pretty bad when her fingers, her mouth, and her eyes are the same color!

Happy Birthday to Kelli!

I had a great "First" 29th birthday! Here is a picture of my wonderful gifts.

Don't I look thrilled to be 29!

Our little girl...is becoming NOT so little!

Leah started at her new preschool in July, but on September 4th they officially started the school year, which included uniforms. She is super adorable in them and I love that her normal clothes aren't getting ruined. What a big girl!

Go Giants!

Heather R. got Giants tickets from her dad's work and invited girlies from home church to go. We had a blast riding into the city on BART and spending time at the game. This was before Bonds hit the record breaker. It was so fun, can't wait to go again. Here are the Heathers on BART.


Me and Julie!


We had a great view from our seats of Barry. I love this one with the sign behind him.


Great catch Heather, ya going to share?

This is way back from our Annual Conner Family Camping Trip to Pinecrest. As you can see, Leah takes it very seriously!


Leah swimming with her Auntie Rene! What a big girl!


Enjoying a yummy Pinecrest ice cream with cousin Melody!


Our nightly bucket bath! Our girl loves dirt! I'm saving this one for the future boyfriend!

Update!

Okay, so I originally jumped on the bandwagon, but as luck would have it, my old ways came creeping through and I dropped the ball on keeping our blog updated! Wouldn't you know it! So here I am updating this. This is for you CC!

Leah's Last Day!



Today was Leah's last official day of daycare with Sheril. It was a bittersweet day for us. I love the thought of Leah making the step into preschool where she will learn God's word and be closer to our home, but I had a really hard time removing her from such a loving environment. She was truly loved and nurtured at Sheril's. I had to do a lot of praying to truly make sure that this was the right decision and I think that it is. We will always love Sheril and her daughters, they are a part of who Leah is.

Elk Grove Visit

Grandpa and Leah = Buddies!
Acting a little timid.
We took an impromptu trip up to Elk Grove to visit Grandma and Grandpa Stevens. We have to take Leah to feed the ducks. She has so much fun.

WOW!

With Derek being in town with his family we had a BBQ at Rose Avenue Park. As you can see, we have a large family. And to think this is just a picture of the cousins and their families that live in California.

Five years!!

On our actual anniversary night my grandparents came to watch Leah and we went out to dinner at Galletos.


Yummy dessert! I highly recommend Galletos.


The day after our anniversary we drove to Monterey. It has special sentiment to use because that is where it all began!
I love this picture of Jason!


Well, can you believe it has been five years! That's right, we married on July 6, 2002 and here we are five years later. Here is to fifty + more years.

Happy Fourth of July!

Here are all six cousins in one spot. It was quite a sight getting them to all sit.

Leah cooling off before the BBQ starts.



Really getting into her sprinkler.




Still loving the sprinkler.




Leah not liking the fireworks so much this year!



Four generations...how special is that!!


We hosted our third annual Fourth of July BBQ this year. It is extra special because (Cousin) Derek and his wife Misty and their three kids were out visiting.

I figured it out!

Here is Leah in her crab at Pinecrest Lake. She is soooo cute!
Okay, I am trying this again. All of my pictures are too big to upload so I have to edit them before putting them on my blog. Sorry about the lack of pics...

Okay....we did it!

Okay so we (or I, Kelli) jumped on the band wagon. I created a blog. I really did is so family that doesn't live in the area can see pics of Leah. Or maybe it's just because I am a follower and everyone else was doing it.
Here are some pics from recent events. Hope you enjoy!
