Being Silly

So, just in case you don't already know, my Little Man is VERY silly!  He loves to tell jokes {mostly ludicrous statements}, run around and tackle Daddy, try to zerbert anyone within reaching distance,  and rhyme commonly known words to create absurd ones.  

After our Thanksgiving dinner, Mr. Man found a pair of goggles, put them on, and proceeded to entertain us with his thirty minute stand-up bit.

He thought he was SO funny!

My silly little Bubs.

School Picture

Finally {oh, so sorry it has taken me this long} posting Bubs' school picture this year.

Isn't he just the cutest little Bubs you've ever seen?!?

Happy Thanksgiving

We hope your Thanksgiving is filled with food, family, fun, and a few little rascals running around.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Final Trip to Huntington Lake

A few weeks ago, we were fortunate to spend one last weekend up at Huntington Lake before the winter snow fell.  There was, in fact, a little bit of snow on the ground from a previous storm, but not enough to keep us away. 

This was Noah's first time experiencing snow...and...well...he was not a big fan.  

 

Bubs had much more fun exploring the trails down to the lake where most of the snow had melted. 

He found some pretty cool rocks to climb and fun sticks to throw.

 

Even though it was not cold enough to keep the snow on the ground, it was still VERY cold.

Two buds...Noah and Squirt...going everywhere together!

The lake was quite low this winter.   

 

Sierra was quite sad when she first ran down to the lake.  She couldn't quite figure out what had happened to her swimming hole.

It was strange to see the docks on dry land 

but it sure gave bubs a lot more room to run around.

 

After all that hiking and exploring, it was sure nice to relax and warm up in front of the fire.

Fresno Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch

A few days after our joyous and fun trip to the pumpkin patch, we decided to try another.  Bubs was so excited as we drove there.  He talked about pumpkins...and hay rides...and scary masks...and pumpkins...

Once we arrived, however, Mr. Man's happy face quickly turned to this.

I have no idea what happened, but Noah was NOT happy.  We could not get him to smile.  Not even once.  We tried walking amongst the pumpkins.  We tried finding big, fat orange pumpkins.  We even tried looking for small, green ones.  Nothing.

Bubs was NOT happy...until...we found the hay stack.  For some reason, climbing that tower of bails put a smile on my little guy's face.

He was so proud of himself for climbing all the way to the very, tippy top.

After scaling the mountain, Noah thought that it might possibly be time to actually look for a pumpkin.

This looks like a good one...but...well...it's orange...and round...and well...I don't know...

This one...well...hey...it's not even a pumpkin!  This is corn!

What about in here?!?  There's got to be a good pumpkin in here...

This is a pretty good one...but...well...I don't know.

Hey...I've found it...the perfect pumpkin...if only someone would help me carry it...please...
