What's Up With the David's: Blog Break and Fall Round-Up!

It's that time of year for me to take a little break from the blog. Not that I post all that much anymore, but I have a lot on my plate right now so this is one little thing I can take off it. I'll be MIA for the rest of the year and return in January, hopefully refreshed and renewed! So I though I would leave you with some cute pictures of the kiddos. And since winter and Christmas are upon us, I figured it was a good time to share photos of all the fun we had this fall. I hope you all have a joyous and blessed holiday season!

We kicked off autumn with our annual trip to the pumpkin patch at Irvine Regional Park. For a few hours once a year we fake like we're visiting a rustic farm on the east coast, except that we're wearing shorts and t-shirts instead of parkas....

Happy Family...

Jack had his first elementary school field trip to Tanaka Farms, an organic farm here in Irvine. I was a chaperone and LOVED getting to watch Jack experience his very first field trip! I think he and his friends had more fun riding the bus, than picking vegetables and pumpkins. But Jack made a new best friend, Ryan. Such a sweet kid...

We ran in a family fun run to benefit Jack's school, Hick's Canyon. The kids had a blast, especially Dylan.....

Someone turned 40! And aside from taking 2 great weekend trips with my favorite people, it totally sucked...

And while I was away with my girlfriends Christian let the kids get into some shenanigans...

And of course there was Halloween! This year I had Minnie Mouse and 2 characters from How to Train Your Dragon...Toothless and Hiccup. We have a really great neighborhood for trick-or-treating and Mimi and Papa got to join us this year...

I think someone missed the memo that Halloween was over! I love this kid...

We celebrated Thanksgiving at both boys school. Gav had a really great luncheon with the entire pre-school and Jack had a little performance with his class. I also got to chaperone a Thanksgiving feast in Jack's classroom. I love that I get to share these special times with the boys. I hope they always remember all the fun time we've had...
