my favorite time of year

i have been so bad about posting lately and really wanted to make sure i at least give an update once a month! october is over today, so i thought i would post a fall update. this time of year has always been my favorite. mainly because there is a clear distinction of the season - although it takes santa barbara a little longer than most places to get into the chilly groove. october can be one of our hotter months. but also because there is the anticipation of all the holiday's that are quickly approaching. i love being cozy, eating good food and sharing our free moments with friends and family - and that's what the next few months will bring and have already brought!

here is what we've been up to as of late: 
~we've had several trips to the zoo with our new zoo membership
zoo with cousin isei
sliding down the hill at zoo with papa
hangin' at the zoo with friend d
 ~diegas went hunting for 10 days in wyoming and mama and baby had to keep busy to make the time go by as fast as possible. we missed papa!
the eve that papa went to wyoming
lemon festival petting zoo
looking for bunnies with grandpa
~we've made some delectable treats to fill our bellies and put tasty aromas in the air
homemade pizza with goat cheese for e
chubbie bunnies for papa's return

pumpkin pie (first of the season) shared with the lee's and hill's
 ~the hubby and i celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary and enjoyed our evening at downey's
evening at downey's, with no room for dessert - little treat!
so many blessings since this glorious day, october 2005

~we've visited the pumpkin patch and attended cousin's 4th pirate themed birthday...happy halloween!
