Windsor Trip

We spent the second weekend in September at a time share resort in Windsor, CA. It was a very nice room (more like a little house) and we all had a very good time. This is the fam with Grandma Morden and cousin Taylor.
We drove over to a beach in Bodega Bay and despite having to walk about a half mile to the beach alongside a cliff, it was fun. Mom refuses to go in the ocean more than a foot or so, but these are the brave ones who had a great time getting wet.
Ben, on the other hand, ran screaming from the waves. But he was determined to throw rocks in the water so he kept trying to get close.
We had cake and ice cream for Rachel's 4th Birthday. You can tell from her red face that we spent a good part of the time in the sun. We could barely keep them out of the resort's swimming pool!

Happy Days Preschool

This was Rachel's first day of preschool. I am doing a co-op with seven other moms where we all take turns teaching. Rachel is so excited to be going to school like a big girl.


She wanted a Dora the Explorer backpack and lunchbox. Ben decided to join the picture with his groovy hairdo!

State Fair

We took the kids to the State Fair this year. I think we may wait until they're a little older next time. They were not overly thrilled. But we got some good food out of the deal!

Rachel liked seeing all of the cows and especially the goats, but Ben would have none of it! He was actually shaking with fear, so Bryan helped him to safety right after the picture was taken.
