Little farm (more pics)

A few more pics. :)

A day on the farm

There is this place in the Berkeley hills called Little Farm. It is a little farm (duh) that is free to visitors, and you
get to feed animals. They have several types of animals cows, goats, bunnies, chickens, ducks, and pigs. You can bring celery or lettuce and feed the cows When I was on Thanksgiving vacation I took the boys. I have taken Darrian before but he was not a huge fan of the smell. The twins though they LOVE animals, so I was excited to see their reaction. Miles was besides himself.lol I am pretty sure he wants a cow for Christmas. Here are these huge animals, and he just walked right up with his celery and fed them. Was reaching through the fence to pet them, and squealing. It was the cutest thing ever. Quincy was this way about the ducks and the chickens. Darrian stayed back from the cows, but likes the bunnies.
We had a great time, the rain stayed away for a bit so we could enjoy it. Can't wait to take them back.

Super bee

Darrian has this thing in his class called Super Bee. It's given to a student each day for showing super behavior. Darrian has gotten it three times now, and each time he is so proud. I am proud of his efforts to do well, and be recognized for it. When you have super bee you write in a journal about what you and super bee did. It is his favorite part, mine too.

Apple Hill

Apple Hill = fall. There is something special about that place. It makes me feel better. I especially love going with people I love. I went a few weeks ago with the Mom's and it was so packed, I think the sweet spot is just after Halloween rush. The weather worked perfect both times. It was fun to go back with the kids there is so much for them to do there. Darrian loved horse back riding and his nature hike with his Godfather Chris. I loved watching Lily feed the goats, so sweet.

I can't wait to go back next year.

My boys in Sonoma.

I love Sonoma, you guys know that. It is my happy place. These pictures are old but my Mom and I went on a picnic there with the boys. The funny part of these pictures, and when I look at them is seeing Miles personality. He's a little goofball, but he doesn't show it to everyone. Just when he's comfortable with his brothers, and he cracks us up. I get a kick out of seeing these guys grow and bond.

Park playdates with the twins

A few times when Darrian has been at school I have been able to take just the twins to the park. It's lots of fun seeing just the two of them interact and play. It is true that twins have their own thing, a unspoken bond. It's fun to watch. It also fun to see how much they adore their big brother, and turns my heart to mush. Here are park adventure pictures.

My Best friends wedding

My best friend Devyn got married on 9/8/12. It was such a pretty day, and I am so very excited for Devyn and her new husband Rodrick. It was fun to see all of Devyn's flawless planning in reality. It would not have been possible without Keith and Niki who set up the decorations for the wedding. They did a amazing job. It's hard to be a former wedding coordinator and not be able to coordinate, but I knew Devyn's ideas were in trusted hands with Niki and Keith. All the pictures are not back yet, but here is a sneak peek. Devyn made the most beautiful bride I have ever seen, and I was so proud to stand next to her on her big day. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Husband! It's going to take a while to get used to me thinking of her as Mrs. Husband and not the Taylor I've known for 18 years !
