Well we made our annual trip up the Santa Cruz mountains to cut down our tree. Jack remembered as soon as we pulled into the entrance gate and was happy to run himself silly for an hour or so! This year we took Ryan's sister and her family to show them where we cut down our tree.

Well we sure hope everyone enjoyed their traditional turkey meal! We had fun with lots of family in town and Elise getting to taste her first turkey! (She loved it! but her favorite was by far the acorn squash...)
Hey everyone out there...Elise will be dedicated in a ceremony at our family church on Nov 4th! We'll post pictures and let everyone know how it goes.
Well the little kiddie parties have begun and so we get to show off our little ladybug! Check out a few pictures from a party today, but keep checking in as there will be more soon! We have a party Monday, Tuesday and then of course Wednesday we will be out trick or treating!...well at least to a couple doors! :-)

Well, sorry for the delay in posting! Life has been super crazy for mommy and I have not taken as many photos or had time to upload them. I just uploaded photos, some from the pumpkim patch today, so take a look!
Well tooth #4 has broken its way through...its the top right to match the one on the left from a couple days ago. Wow what will be next?
Well...Daddy has officially started Elise with her race training. Check out her first drive in her new car on YouTube. She had a blast so it is fun to watch! Also Elise's third tooth popped out today. It's on the top on the left side which explains her left ear pulling and head scratching from this past week. Stay tuned for more!
Well the trip ended nicely. Thursday we headed to Waimea canyon. We drove all the way to the very end of the road and were treated with a beautiful site of a large valley leading right into the ocean. On our way down the canyon again we took our rented minimvan down a 4x4 road for a nice quiet hike to the edge of a cliff within the canyon, see the great pics from this!
Well time is flying by as vacation time seems too. Tuesday we drove North and started our morning off with a hike on the NaPali coast. Elise rode in the Baby Bjorn on Mommy and Daddy packed in all the water and sancks. We took some gorgeous pics and were told we are "brave", "crazy" and that we "had the youngest hiker ever"...as Elise was the hit on the trail. We spent the afternoon at the "end of the road" beach enjoyng the natural shade and beautiful landscape. We had dinner in Hanalei and did a little strolling around
