DeJongs Dairy

Last Friday Samantha and I, along with some other families of our mom's club, went on a tour of DeJongs Dairy in Wildomar,Ca. We had been there a couple years ago when Alexys was smaller but Samantha was just a baby. She had the best time.  There had just been a calf born two days before so they showed the kids how they feed the calf with a bottle. She was so cute just kept mooing. They process all of their own milk and sell it in their store on the property. Once again we couldn't leave without a gallon of our favorite chocolate milk.

A day at the Wild Animal Park

This past week we decided to take a trip to the Wild Animal Park. It was such a gorgeous day. Hard to believe it is November and people are wearing tank tops and shorts. How lucky are we! Our first stop was the Bird Show. The girls loved it! They also had their Creepy Crawly Bug Fair going on. The girls got to pet a Hissing Cockroach! EEW! not for me. The guy holding it was letting it crawl all over his hands. It gives me shivers just to think of it! There were several stations all over the park. One was a spider station and they had black widows in clear boxes for you to see. Alexys got to craft a caterpillar out of puff balls. She loved that. To finish our day off we had a waffle cone with ice cream before we left. That's always our treat after hiking to the lions and elephants. Next time we are going to hike to the Condors.

Halloween 2010

The girls were so excited for Halloween. At first it seemed like the night would never come but before we knew it it was here. Alexys dressed up as a Geisha Girl and Samantha was a Pirate. For weeks Samantha would go around saying AARRR. It was so cute.

Pumpkin Carving

The kids and I had a great time carving pumpkins. This is something we look forward to every year. Can't wait to eat the pumpkin seeds tonight!

This past week was Red Ribbon Week @ school. One of the fun things they do is Crazy Hair Day. This is as crazy as Alexys wanted to get. Pink hair. Every day they did something different to celebrate. Sam even participated too.

 Sam with her pink hair too. We ran out so she only got a little bit. She was happy though.

Pumpkin Patch

This week Alexys had a couple minimum days from school and Grandma Jenny was here to visit. So we decided to go to our favorite pumpkin patch. I just love the way its nestled in the trees and the way they set them all up. This year the girls were more interested in pushing the pumpkin cart around than actually picking a pumpkin to put into it. lol. Brian was still in school so he didn't get to go but I'm sure we will go back before the end of the month. CJ did get to go with us which was so nice. I was able to get a couple pics of him too! Those are moments that don't happen so much anymore.

Soccer 2010

The soccer season has begun. We are in our 8th week. I love watching Alexys play she is a natural athlete. We have a great team this year too. Have made so many new friends too which is a lot of fun! All the parents have been so helpful. My friend and fellow parent Erin stepped up and made this amazing banner for our team. I had made one a couple years ago and decided it would be my last so I was all for just buying one but Erin said I'll do it and it turned out so good!

Jeff is coaching this year along with our assistant Coach Eli. Brian has been our ref for every game which is so nice. He says he doesnt really like it but he does a great job. So far we have tied 2 games, lost 2 games and won 3 games. Last week we played the team we tied the first week and this time we beat them 8-2. Talk about improvement! Go Heartbreakers!
