it just doesn't get any better than october. the colors, the scents, the air, the food, the countless pumpkin spice lattes...i can't get enough of it all! it is by far my favorite month of the year. always has been.

2. the drive through snohomish and the dog ranch that babysits bauer and lola when we leave town. (we call it "camp" and they love going there)

3. visiting a clam farm up north. d e l i c i o u s.

4. a (warm) trip to the pumpkin patch and farm in while visiting grandma, grandpa and cousin adelyn, in arizona.

miles was pretty amused by the sheep and goats, but lost interest in most everything by the end of the day...

 sorry grandma and grandpa...the party is over.

happy birthday, to me

my birthday was earlier this month. i am 29. this is officially the last year of my twenties. i keep telling my self 30 is the new 25. we'll see.

to celebrate, we did some exploring around town and ate a lot of delicious meals, snacks, treats etc. that is one thing i am so in love with about seattle. so much good food, and so many new places to discover. and to be honest, the celebration was stretched out over a few days and a few places. i am totally one of those people who thinks their birthdays are a big deal and they should be the princess and get all the attention for a day (or a week) so somewhere between seattle, snohomish, bellingham, and tulalip, i graduated from 28 to 29. and i must say, i feel pretty blessed to have such adorable boys in my life, and to be living in such a gorgeous place on this planet. 

so, if i have to be 29, i am glad i get to be 29 here, with them.

 pike place chowder. SO.DARN.GOOD.

such a good sport to search through antuiqe shoppes with me in snohomish!

 who says a baby won't enjoy a british pub??
