Fall in San Diego

I love fall: cooler weather, the colors, warm coffee, sweaters, the really good smelling candles, trips to the pumpkin patch, ugg boots, the chance of rain...ahhh the list goes on and on!

This past Friday, we went with the neighbors to Bates Nut Farm to feed the animals and catch a sneek peek at the pumpkins and tractors getting ready for the opener weekend. Stinker and I rode with Sarah and little O - it was the first time Stinker rode in a carseat next to another kiddo in a carseat, it was so fun they laughed the whole trip there!

Aimee and F, O, and V met us there. Stinker LOVED feeding the animals especially the chickens (and himself). While I was holding the bag of corn and taking pictures, Stinker was busy shoving corn he was supposed to be feeding the animals into his own mouth!

(the three 1 yr olds)

(thats right Stinker, you throw the feed in for the chickens...)

(you hand the feed to the goats and sheep)

We had so much fun, it truly is a blessing to live in a place with so much to offer. Of course my camera card only had space for a few pics - if its fully charged then I forget about the memory card its always something :)

Clean Eating

Here is a pic of a recipe we got out of "Clean Eating" Magazine:

It was called "Potato Crusted Veggie Pizza" and was delicious!! However after seeing it finished it really resembled cheesy hash-browns with some veggies on it. This was totally my kind of receipe, 5 ingredients or less. It was shredded potatoes, mozzarella cheese, red bell peppers, eggplant, and some seasoning.

This was my first time trying eggplant and both Stinker and I love it!

PWACC 2nd Annual Meeting

Well we ventured over to Arizona for the 2nd Annual PWACC meeting over Labor Day weekend and this year was similar to last, on the agenda was golf, card games, good food, pool time, but new for this year was wii tournaments and massage appointments for the chicas!

Stinker did great sleeping in the pac-n-play in one of the bathrooms. He really liked to "help" Speedy bowl on wii. Stinker also got 2 new teeth bringing the current grand total to 8. He has the four on the top/center and one on his left side upper too. He also has the two middle on the bottom and one more on the right side.

Uncle Dutter had the paparazzi snap a pic of him while showering and he administered personality tests to each of us to be analyzed. Out of all 9 of us Speedy was the only one to not be "judging" on the myers-briggs test instead he was "perceiving"; there were 4 introverts and 5 extroverts. Uncle Sallad's personality is found in only 1% of the entire world and our group had 2 sets of twins: mom and Dutter / me and my dad.

After everyone departed from the weekend we stayed on a couple days, Stinker loved to help Poppa take the dogs for walks...

Next year looks like the meeting will be in Vegas!
