October in Pictures...LOTS of pictures...

 *The first week of October our school district has what they call Fall Break. It is the best break they could've come up with. This year, we bought a tent and headed to Refugio Beach.*
 *One of my favorite pics from the trip*
 *The weather could not have been more perfect*
 *This happy guy*
 *Watching Daddy during an evening surf session*
 *Watching her Daddy surf*
 *Holding a teeny tiny sand crab for the first time without screaming bloody murder*

 *First family bike ride. SOOO much fun. Well I guess it really wasn't THAT great. It was late afternoon, the kids were tired and it didn't last long. But the idea of it, I loved. I grew up camping at Refugio and El Capitan so it was fun going on the bike rides that I went on as a kid with my own family now.*
 *While we were watching Daddy surf that evening the tide was down and some other people showed us this starfish they found. I thought it was super cool, the girls didn't even touch it. Oh well.*
 *This trip could not have been any more perfect. We went as just a family, my mom came up one day which was nice, and I can't wait for many more camping trips like this.*
 *These two...*
 *So one day Danny went to work with Maverick's carseat in his truck, leaving me with nothing. Long story short, we got to borrow a friend's carseat which had a very girly carseat cover. The girls decided to change Maverick's name to Pixie Dust and dress him up.*
 *This little guy is 7 months old, has 6 teeth, can sit up on his own and army crawl's everywhere.*
 *The first glimpse of rain and this one suited up and went to play!*
 *Oh to be a kid...*
 *Devan's preschool had a field trip to Lombardi Ranch*

 *Danny went on a 5 day hunting trip in the Sierra's I think...? He rode 6 hours on horseback to get to their camp. I didn't get to talk to him the whole time, but everything on our end went fine. Day 2 of hunting he shot a deer. He had a great time and said he was an amazing expereince.*
 *Opened the outdoor fridge one day to find this. I know a lot of people are against hunting, although I'm not sure why. This deer has provided us with some of the healthiest meat you can find...and some pretty awesome decor. :)*
 *While Danny was at work one day Remi ended up at the vet to get some stitches in her ear. Not sure exactly what happened...but it was right at feeding time when all the animals stand at the back door. And if you are standing near Alice(the pig) when she is hungry, you better watch out. :-/ Thankful for good friends/neighbors, Uncle Chris Reno came to the rescue and took Remi for me.*
 *Drugged up doggy with a cone...pretty funny. Poor Remi dog.*
 *Since school is in full swing and Danny works in Pasadena, we don't get to the fire station to visit him very often. So we made the effort and got to see him, and luckily we were able to hang for about 25 minuets before they had to go.*



 *Our little soccer girl. This was Taylor's first season ever playing soccer and she LOVED it!! She ended her season with a bang. She scored a goal from about 3/4 of the field. Basically she was goalie and everyone was in the middle of the field. The ball got kicked toward her, she kicked it up and over everyone's heads and it went straight into the goal. It was pretty cool. The best part was seeing all her little teammates get SO excited and ran over to her and hugged her. What a fun memory.* 
 *Her team was great and she made a lot of new little friends.*
 *She had quite the support group and often had lots of family and friends there to watch her, which was always so much fun.*
 *Mav and his big cousin Gunnar.*
 *We made it to Lombardi Ranch for our annual trip with the Roy's.*
 *We had a good time catching up with them since we don't see them often enough.*
 *Lombardi was just not that great this year, so the kids were pretty much over it within the first 10 minutes.*
 *Still cherishing these moments with this little guy. I mean how am I supposed to put him to bed when he's looking at me like that!?*
 *Been waking up earlier these days and had been enjoying these sunrises, until the time change... :(*
 *Last minute Mary costume for Cubbies*
 *Our annual pumpkin carving night with the cousins*
 *Halloween*

 *Way of transportation to their first trick or treating destination to uncle chris and aunty dena's house*
When I was going through pictures for this post I could not believe how jam packed our October was. On to Novemeber which holds our niece Riley's birthday, Devan's 5th birthday, Thanksgiving which will be spent at the fire station. This year we are planning on going to A Day in the Dirt where Danny is going to race and Taylor is considering her first race. Followed by December with Christmas, my mother in laws bday and my big 3-0!! Can't believe I'm gonnna be 30. Actually kind of looking forward to it. Hopefully I will be back sooner than later to post again before the new year. :)
