Mom's weekend in San Diego!

 Last weekend I took another trip to San Diego to visit my good friend Elisabeth.  It was fun to hang out with her and her kiddos without all the chaos of bringing my kids along.  Her parents were nice enough to come over and watch the kids one day so we could have a girls day out!  We had a blast taking the ferry to the Gas Lamp district and exploring downtown and eating and drinking at a few different restaurants.  The rest of the weekend was spent simply relaxing and catching up with a dear friend.  

We spent another day checking the little beach town of Encinitas.  Super cute!  

This was one of the sunsets from the place they are staying.  Beautiful! 

Carriage driving

Rylee has been loving her horse riding lessons.  Last week she even got to carriage drive for the first time!  She was nervous at first but got the hang of it quickly.

Carson's first sport... soccer!

 Carson started playing soccer a couple of weeks ago and he absolutely loves it!  He is pretty good at it too!  He's in a class with ages 3.5- 5 and he can definitely keep up with them all.  He is so cute to watch and so proud of himself!  Now to work on the no hands thing...

Happy Halloween!

 We had a great Halloween.  We tried a new carving technique... drilling!  The kids loved it (no surprise there).

 The rain stopped for about an hour Halloween night, just long enough for us to trick-or-treat around the neighborhood.  Rylee dressed up as Rapunzel and Carson was a Gladiator (complete with a sword and a shield... his favorite part).  Afterwards we went over to Jon and Mandy's house for a Halloween party.  Fun times!
