Fall Fun

September Orange County Trip

Christine, Ellsie, and I were able to take a week and a half trip back to California in September. I had to be out there for work so I took the girls out and extended the trip. As always it was a busy and fun couple weeks. Spent time with family and friends, Ellsie got to go in the pool for the first time and had a great time with all her visitors. Just wanted to share some pictures with you all, it seems like each week something new is happening. Just enjoying each step!

E's first time in the pool! She loved it! G-ma heated up the water for her so it wasn't too cold. This girls gonna be a swimmer.

She is starting to stand up by herself, even if it's for a couple seconds. We try and have a spotter behind her but she's taken a few tumbles trying to figure it all out. Still has no interest in trying to crawl - she's happiest standing and just recently sitting up.

Rocking like an old lady! G-Ma bought a rocking chair for the baby room - there were so many toys for her there we felt guilty taking her back home to boring old mom and dad's house.

Pumpkin Patch and Oktoberfest in Castle Rock, CO

Me and Ellsie had a father daughter day this last weekend and went to a pumpkin patch just outside of town. It was a little cold so we didn't stay too long but got some great pictures!

E just looking for her pumpkin. Our friend Joy was the spotter - and caught her right before taking a spill.

After the pumpkin patch Christine met up with us in Castle Rock for Oktoberfest with a bunch of friends. Great day - Ellsie got to listen to some good music and get passed around for some lovin! She's a champ, enjoyed every second.

Dancing to Polka music (and yes, that's me dancing - sorry it's all I got...) good thing she doesn't know the difference yet.

All the kiddos at Oktoberfest. Maddie is holding Ellsie, she so good with her and looking forward to babysitting someday.

Had to include this video of E and Tim and Jenni's dog Murphy. She was cracking up for like 15 minutes. This girl loves dogs..good thing!
