Our October

I have learned to LOVE October. I have always loved fall but I have to be honest, I used to not love Halloween. However my attitude has totally changed with a kid. Halloween is hilarious and full of fun and surprises. This year Annie was a Kitty and really liked wearing her costume. She would wildly run around the house falling everywhere when she was in it. 

Here are some pictures from this October. 

The three skeletons 

So fun to have this little lady up for the weekend.

How do you not love this little squishy goodness?

  

The Jeep was a hit! 

Brother Johnson and his ball.

This pictures seriously cracks me up! 

Charlie is such a cute boy.

All alone in the Jeep… What should I do?! 

Happy halloween Hunt fam.

My Little Girl Is One

Wait. Stop. 

My little girl is one. 

I'm still dealing with that fact. 

She is growing up to quick.

We gave Annie a Pop Vacuum . She was all smiles! 

Annie loves dogs. She gets all excited and waves very aggressively at them. She will run up to them and scream and then run away. She is so funny. I made her a puppy cake and cupcakes. They were fun to make, but it is a lot harder to plan parties with a one year old at your feet.  

Annie cuddling her presents.

Charlie had to leave early so he blew out a separate candle and had a cupcake. Annie thought it was pretty cool. 

 Annie didn't eat one bit of her cake. She just played in it and clawed around in it. Oh well it makes for some good pictures.  

Ok Annie has the best tummy. Its always sticking out and I must say she is pretty proud of it. She shows it off a lot. 

 Charlie, Linds and Andy gave Annie a stroller for her birthday. She seriously loves it. Estee thought it would be funny to put her in it and it was. Eli was trying to push her around but i didn't capture it fast enough.  

  

Got sick of sitting... so she started to walk. 

Logan To California

Its official. Drew's Parents moved to California. 

It was a super sad day saying goodbye to them. But it was sure fun being in California all together. 

Drew and Adam started up a business and moved their Parents to the "west side". It was a lot of work for them but it was a great opportunity. After everything was all boxed up and loaded into 2 large trucks (about 2 weeks worth of work) we were off. 

Annie didn't seem to mind the first 8 hours of driving. We kept her distracted with toys and treats. However, our moving truck was having some serious transmission issues. What would have taken us 10-11 hours to get there ended up being a 19 hour drive. Annie was about ready to pull her and my hair out. It was quite a long drive. Once we got in our hotel room in Auburn I seriously was so excited to stretch and crawl into bed. 

When we woke up, we drove about 20 minutes into a town called Loomis, where Craig and Mona are renting a home. The house they rented is super cute and pretty homie. It took us all day Friday to get everything moved in. 

The next day we went to San Francisco. I now have a new love for that city. The first day we went to the famous Pier 49 and ate clam chowder and some fried shrimp. It was nothing short of amazing.

On Sunday we went to Union Square. Ok where has that place been all my life. Some of the best shopping places and some really good food joints. I was pretty much in heaven. Mona and I were talking that when Annie gets older we will have a ton of fun shopping at the square. After the Square we all went on a Segway tour and that was hilarious. I had so much fun on those machines. For me that was definitely the highlight of the trip. 

Also on Sunday we went and saw these Mosiac tile steps. It was amazing. I guess the community got together and made this peice of art. One of the coolest things i have ever seen!

That same day Craig drove me to the house that Full House was filmed in. I was in Heaven! It was a pure tourist moment and I didn't care one bit. 

On our way to the Airport we stopped at the beach. The ocean is definitely a little bit of heaven. Something about the waves crashing, and that salty air all around makes me never want to leave. Annie loved it too. She was all about the sand and putting her little feet in the water. Drew is such a good Dad, he wanted her to experience everything from racing the waves, to throwing rocks into the water. How did I get so lucky? 

After the Beach we were dropped off at the airport. It was a super sad thing to say goodbye to Drew's parents. It will be hard not to run up to their house on cliffside just to say hi. Or bring a pepsi to Mona's so I had someone to drink some caffeine with. I sure am blessed with such good inlaws. The thing that doesn't make it so hard is I know that we can visit lots and they can come visit us lots too. California Dreamin' is what we will be doing for a month or two.
