Oma's Farm

I have been told that Oma's is the best pumpkin patch in San Diego, but Lo and I just never made it out here, until NOW! And everyone is right, this place is awesome! Not only is it a complete working dairy, with tons of cows (we even got to see a 3 hour old calf), but there is sooo much to do!

We took the farming adventure with some of our most favorite friends, Koa, Kaian and their mom, Julie.

Whats a pumpkin patch without a pile o' pumpkins topped with a cute kid.


Add tractor to that list!



And old pick up truck!




Ok, I realize this picture is goofy, but I am a total sucker for these type of "stick your head through" photo ops. Check out how lovingly Lo is gazing at the cow...


Logan got to "sled" on a huge cotton seed pile. I had never even seen cotton seed before this, and I would have never guessed it would make such a fun place to sled!


Lo and Ko playing "toss the bean bags in the pumpkins"



And Oma's even has a huge pile of dirt and tons of trucks to play in! These farmers know what little boys want!




Logan and Kaian on the wagon ride to see all the cows at work in the dairy.
Great pumpkin patch trip! Oma's may be my new favorite!

Pre-Halloween Fun

One of my favorite times of the year has begun: the Holidays!! It starts with the warm up to Halloween and usually ends with New Years Day. Its the craziest and most fun times of the year. And Lo is the perfect age to enjoy and begin to understand all the festivities. So let the games begin!!
Logan came back from his visit with Mumi with all kinds of fun Halloween games! Here is Logan and Ethan (from across the street) playing Ghost bowling and the Bat Game.

Logan and I are just loving our newest addition to the house hold, Cash, but this is the most destructive and secretive dog ever!! This is Logan's pumpkin before Cash got a hold of it...



And here is is after!!! I have no idea how he got it off the table and rolled it out the door and ate it before I even heard him.




Logan loves to say "Wanna see my moves?" And this question is usually followed by a unique dance routine. I am just lucky enough to capture a few moments on film...





more moves!



Lo has recently become quite a little board game player, we enjoyed many, many many games of the lady bug game on the kitchen floor. He has quite the competitive streak, I really didn't think he had it in him, but when it comes to board games, watch out!


And getting ready for Halloween isn't complete with out cinnamon scented, orange play-doh, and the Halloween cookie cutters.
