eat sleep and farm

Its always been my favorite season. Its beautiful during Fall in California and its beautiful here in Washington. I'm guessing its pretty gorgeous everywhere.  These pictures have not been touched up.  There are two where I made them brighter because I took them in a more shaded area,  but the color has not been enhanced or anything fancy like that.  There's truly no need. Everywhere I look its breathtaking.  The pictures with the kids in them have a filter called "throwback" from Flikr.  The first pic is my favorite.  I had pulled over to make a call and noticed the sun coming through the leaves on the tree.  I got my iPhone out and snapped a few pics and this one turned out incredible.  Enjoy.  this is our neighborhood 

Her birthday was full of all the food she loves.  We visited a local bakery she's been dying to go to.  Had a treasure hunt.  Went out to dinner.  And spent the day that weekend in Seattle as a family.  treasure hunting  We love our crazy Kara girl.  She's full of life.  Constantly.  If she's not sleeping, she's jumping, rolling, climbing, swinging,  running, riding, playing or all of those things back-to-back.  She's been learning how to read which has given me lots of   WAKE-UP-MOM-your-baby-is-getting-big moments.  She's loving school and still likes being outdoors.  Unless its 20 degrees outside, Kara has got a tank-top on.  Scratch that.  Even when its 20 degrees outside, Kara has a tank-top on.  She fakes to by shy still, but isn't.  She's cuddly and happy and funny and sassy.  he decided her new blanket was for him.  and her baby brother said her name FIR

We took the kids to Brick Con in Seattle and had a fun family day!  the sign... from behind :) 

We all have them, so don't say you don't ;-) This is my blog so I'm using this as my outlet to vent about ones that bother me. And this isn't to say I've never done any of these things. I'm sure I've done them all. 'Pet peeves' doesn't mean you don't do it. Just means you get annoyed when someone else does it. Here are a few of mine. **Please don't read any further if you're easily offended or prone to think everything is about you personally.  I will give no other disclaimer.  Read at your own risk.  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ *Using the 'like' button in a very passive aggressive way.  Incredibly popular and also incredibly cowardly and rude. I try my very hardest NOT do this, but this week I actually purposefully did it. It felt good. I apparently like being a coward and being rude :-\ Maybe someday Fallon and Timberlake will do a video of how ridiculous
