Mama's photo shoot

We are really excited for Sophia's first birthday party. The theme is the apple of our eye is turning one. Her party is going to be full of apples and fun! For the invites I had to provide a picture. So of course I had to get Sophia a new shirt with a big apple on it. I can't believe I am planning her first birthday party. Where did the time go? She truely is a blessing and I can't imagine my life without her. Mama loves you!

The Patch

Last weekend we went to a local pumpkin patch in Brea. I am sure we will go to another one before the season is over! We had a good time with Mike's family. I was sort of bummed because is was like 100 degrees and not very fall like. Sophia liked all the pumpkins and feeding the goats with her daddy. We came home with one big pumpkin and about four little ones.

Chino

Today Sophia and I went to visit my dad and Sandy out in Chino. My dad grew these amazing pumpkins and wanted to make sure Sophia got one. Some of the pumpkins were even bigger than her. I took tons of pictures! Not only does my dad grow pumpkins but he also grew egg plant, tomatoes, corn, carrots, peppers, and more. he really has a green thumb. We took home a pumpkin, carrots, and some lemons which are also home grown. We had a nice morning and made it home just in time for Sophia's afternoon nap! These will be the first pumpkin pictures of the season, there will be many more to follow.

My first bike!

Today Mike came home with a Fisher Price Rock& Ride bike for Sophia. Mike is too funny; he just loves buying toys for her. Our house is just exploding, it looks like Toys R US in here. Of course Sophia was all into building it with him while overseeing the project. We took her for a spin inside to make sure she could sit up and hold on before going outside. She did great! She even put her feet on the foot rest. She had the biggest smile when Mike was pushing her around. I can't believe how big and smart she is getting. She is a little sponge! These past 10 months have really flown by.
