Apple Hill

Oh, how we LOVE Apple Hill- the whole place is a party-- GREAT times! Here are just a few of the highlights.
One of the days highlights- running down, and then up, and then down again-- the clay hill-- endless fun.
The Apple treats. yum!
As you can tell by the jeans- Jett loved the running hill too-and didn't want to stop.
Waiting in line for the pony rides--
Once Jett realized that ponies were involved- he was happy again.
Emmy started out with tender petting of her pony--

Then she got weird...
and weirder still--
Then she got cocky- I love her.
Look at Jettman going in for the grab-- I love it.

Weenie came too- what a treat!
Emmy's favorite thing- to swing.
I think this was their 49th ride-- Emmy loved her cotton candy (thanks TT) and took it everywhere- multitasker.
Emmy discovering her worms and dirt (thanks KK) I LOVE her face in each of these-- you can see the transformation.
Grammy and Emmy-- not the best picture subjects...
Pure joy-- right here-- who knew all it took was caramel apples?!
Father of the year~
for SURE Father of the Year.

The Sacramento Show and Shine!

There is a neighborhood by Larry and Diana's house where pilots live and they keep their planes at their house-- all of the street signs are low- so that the wings won't get dinged and the streets are huge- because they are runways.
There was a fun thing there and Jordy was brave enough to get his face painted!

Emmy was not as brave and went for an armpaint-- progress.
The planes were really cool and it was a great time!

Courage House 5K

Yes, you read correctly- we did a 5 K-- well- the girls and I WALKED a 5 K-- But J ran a 5 K-- he was very fast.
It was in Sacramento-- and we got to do it with Grandma and Grandpa, Grammy and Papa Rich, KK and Cami, TT, Jordy and Jett- it was a PARTY!
Emmy RAN across the finish line-
Here we are during it-- Grandpa pushed her some of the way-- Grandma walked or ran with her the rest of the way- it was great.
ok- yes, that's me in the background with the sleeping baby strapped to my chest (Elles has inherited Emmy's ability to sleep anywhere) but when I said Emmy ran across the finish line-- it was true-- but she also ATE it right before it-- like the kind of fall when you sprawl out.
so, she ran holding KK's hand after that.
Afterwards there was a dance party to celebrate our awesomeness.
Ellie even woke up and joined in the fun.
This is our only 5 K pic of Grammy and we have NONE of Papa Rich~ SAD!
Here some of us are.
Emmy and Uncle Cami- Best friends-- look up the Courage House-- it is a great thing--

Pumpkin Patch at Apple Hill-

We found the cutest pumpkin patch-- they had wagons to pull.
Which might have been Emmy's favorite part.

or, maybe the patch itself was her favorite~
She found Ellie's pumpkin right away.
She took it very seriously.

Emmy then found her very own pumpkin-- Grammy helped her cut the vine-- it was a GREAT time!
Yes-- this is her little (literally) choice.
She is in LOVE.
The tractor was also a favorite.


Elles LOVED her pumpkin-- she just kept trying to eat it.
