A weekend back home!

We spent last weekend back home in Aptos and had so much fun. The Negards kindly opened up their home to us to stay the weekend! Ford LOVES Annike and Sommer so much, and getting to spend the whole weekend with them was a blast! Almost every night when we ask Ford who he wants to pray for his response is "Anka and Sue-shwee!". Whenever I ask  him who he loves he always says "I nove Sue-shwee!". It was also a very special weekend because we finally got to meet the newest member of the Negard Family, Karsten Paul!! He is the sweetest most content little baby, and Ford loved getting to hold him and peek into his crib when he was sleeping! We left Cooper with our old neighbors Mike and Bethe, which meant we had to drive by our old house. It was definitely weird, but it didn't feel like it was ours anymore. It was such a great weekend getting to catch up with not only the Negards, but the Griffiths and Bjornstads too. We were so sad to leave, and really miss our old life in Aptos. Here are some pics form the weekend!
 
We didn't get one picture with all the kids smiling. Annike and Sommer were actually smiling in the majority of them, but this is the only one that Ford was making a normal face!
 
Giving Karsten a hug! He loves babies so much it is so sweet to watch!
 
I got to do a little mini photo shoot with Baby K!

 
We went to a harvest festival just down the road from were the Negards live, unfortunately we got the time wrong and showed up 4 hours early, but the kids didn't mind they still had a great time!
 
Feeding the goats!



 
The hills of Corralitos! So beautiful!

 
He can spot a tractor from a mile away!
 
Love this little face!
 
The cutest Dalmatian I know!
 
Oh, it doesn't get much cuter than Sommer!!






 
Oh, how he loves baby goats!
 
Someone else does too!

Punky's Adobe Pumpkin Farm

We took Ford to a real pumpkin farm this weekend and we had a blast! I told Erik I wanted to go to a a farm and not just a side of the highway pumpkin patch. This farm had it all and Ford loved every minute of it! He was just running all of the farm exploring all it had to offer! We made some fun memories!
 
Of course the tractors, aka "Dada ahhhh's" said with a lot of grit, where a hit! Both my boys in plaid!
 
I love his little smile in this picture!
 
This little man is so brave!

 
Hi Mom!!
 
 



 
These are totally out of focus, but they totally crack me up! He loved it despite the look on his face!

 
Oh how I love this smile!

Wine country pumpkin patch!




 
I really wasn't sure how the pony ride was going to go, and in this moment neither did Ford, but he was such a brave boy and loved it!

 
He's so proud of himself here!
 
Mr. Personality chatting it up with the pony lady!

 
Ford is really into baby goats right now (I have no idea where he comes up with this stuff), so the petting zoo was a hit! Erik and I weren't sure if these were goats or sheep, but we called them baby goats anyway!

 
LOVE LOVE LOVE










 
He loved the hay ride because it was pulled by a tractor!




 
We picked out some good pumpkins!

 
He took picking out pumpkins very seriously!
 
Love this one!

 
Following his Dada!
