Fall Events

ENJOY OUR FALL PHOTOS!

We start the Fall season with a visit to the pumpkin patch to select the perfect pumpkin for each of us. Takes all of 2 minutes!

And, the hard work begins...bring on the carpal tunnel syndrome!

Daddy and Liam begin the hard work of building the "set" that will soon be our front yard Halloween extgravaganza (lots of bones involved here).

Liam's school hosts a Fall Festival with a hampster wheel!

Do these guys look like twins or what? Drew to the left and his 2nd(?) cousin Tom.

TAHOE WITH THE GOUVEIA'S

Another relaxing weekend at the Gouveia's. Turned out to be beautiful beach weather on Saturday and fair-to-stormy on Sunday. The kids loved watching the hail come down and the thunder storms.

Just Chillin'

Liam kicking back while Dad prepares to set sail.

Hard to tell, but that's Drew and Dad in the canoe.

Again, not the best shot, but Kath and Eli take a spin in the canoe.

SACRAMENTO

"The Moving Wall"

Tribute to Vietnam Veterans

On Saturday, we ventured to Sacramento, our State Capitol, because Michael wanted to visit the "moving wall" featured at one of the Vet cemetaries. We have both been to D.C. and seen the actual monument, but this was an awesome reminder of all those who lost their lives in Vietnam. Above I've tried to take a picture of the entire wall, but you can't see the section to the left or even all the way over to the right. Many, many names...

The Honor Garden is a tribute to all armed forces.

And, the Eternal Flame burns in the center of the columns.

GILROY GARDENS

First ride of the day for Liam, Drew and Jamie, Drew's BFF.

Drew and his BFF are being goofy!

Liam's new BFF, Sponge Bob Squarepants.

Well, if he's not allowed to watch it on TV he's sure going to win the stuffed animal!

"Mom, lose the fake smile, PLEASE."

And, fun was had by all. Zzzzzzz

First Day of 2nd Grade & The Grizzly's

My babies started their first day of 2nd grade and first day in preschool yesterday. Liam stands in his class line just before heading in for Day 1 of 2nd Grade. Such a big boy!
