Going to Pick Out Pumpkins

We went to a local pumpkin patch just outside Boulder to pick out our pumpkins and enjoy a crisp Fall day.  We had an inch of snow on the ground when we woke up this morning but everything was melted by noon.  I think I'm going to paint these pumpkins this year instead of trying to carve them.  Less mess I hope;)

Just hanging by some farm machinery

We saw a few different farm animals

This goat tried nibbling by glove

Just clowning around;)

In the pumpkin patch

We had to get a picture with the John Deere sign!

Santa Barbara

We went with Bill and Pam to Santa Barbara so Emmett could meet Great Grandma Franks and Great Aunt Judy.  We had so much fun!!!!  I love that city!  It is just so beautiful.  We stopped there on our California Road Trip last summer before we had Emmett and it was great to return.  It was warmer this time in October than it was last July! Crazy! Emmett got to go on the beach and see the ocean for the first time. He was so funny to watch as the waves rolled in. We got to spend lots of time with Grandma Franks and see everything Mary and Judy have done with their beautiful home.

1st time meeting Aunt Judy

Bonding with Grandma Franks

Breakfast every morning at the Fess Parker

Grandma Franks just loved on Emmett and was so strong holding him everyday!!!

Nighttime happy hour while listening to the ocean.  We even heard sea lions one night!

1st time seeing the ocean

He was fascinated by the ocean waves

Ahhh the beach 

I love seeing all the boats!

Last night enjoying a drink at the Lark and then dinner at the local fish house

Last morning before heading back to Denver and snow:(

5 Months Old

October 1st Emmett turned 5 months old!  He is eating baby food and starting to love it more and more.  We have been working on sleep training and getting Emmett to sleep throughout the night in his crib.  He is doing a pretty good job and giving us some full nights of sleep!  Thank goodness because this momma is tired especially on the weeks Mike is gone and I'm by myself.  We are managing pretty well though!

-Emmett is loving his bumbo
-He is eating sweet potatoes (seems to be his favorite), apples, peaches, squash, and bananas
-Loves playing on a blanket and reaching for his toys
-He is sitting up pretty well and rolling onto his side (still hasn't rolled to his belly but he is close, we think since he isn't a huge fan of tummy time that he is purposely not doing it;)
-Loves being around people, being held, and played with!
-Is trying to pet Barley and interact with him (we are working on being gentle)
-Has just started reaching for our faces and loves touching our faces
