We discovered this place last year through the recommendation of a friend who works near the farm. It is so awesome! They have a huge pumpkin patch, a wagon ride, train ride, petting zoo, face painting, scarecrow alley, corn maze, snow cones, etc. Everything that you love about fall all wrapped into one. Except for…

Swimming Pools and Cheese & Crackers
Those were my favorite things from our weekend getaway. We took a quick trip to Palm Springs. We reserved our hotel at the last minute and decided to just GO! It was the only weekend we had available before Stephen’s big surgery in October, so we had to jump on it. Palm Springs is hot.…
I Want to Ride My Bicycle
After several years (and I’m not exaggerating about this) of pleading with my husband to get bikes, I just finally just went and got one. This encouraged my husband to get one also. So now we have bikes. Just like that. Sometimes mama needs to take matters into her own hands. I, of course, had…
Not Too Missour-able (Get It?)
Little Steverino and I just took a trip 1,300 miles from home. I would venture to say it was quite a success! Honestly, I was pretty nervous to: a) take him on the plane for the first time b) maintain my pumping schedule c) drive 4 hours in the car with him d) have him…
Cali-Bound
My brother and his wife FINALLY came to visit! They live all the way over in Southern Missouri (close to Joplin) and took quite a road-trip for their vacation. They stopped in New Mexico and Arizona before reaching us and will be stopping in Utah and Nebraska on their way home. I had so much…
Road Trip
We had a plan. My husband got 2 weeks off from work. We were gonna go to Southern Utah to visit the family for the weekend and then spend (at least) one night in Vegas so we could take advantage of the warm weather lounging by a fabulous pool. Our plans changed. The season premier…
Christening
Religion can be a hot topic of debate when a husband and wife come from two different backgrounds. Luckily my husband and I are of the same mold, where the religion isn’t as important as the morals our child grows up with. If you had asked me years ago if I would let me son…
April Wrap-up
April was kind of a great month. Stephen has become more fun and interactive and we’re able to actually leave the house without a meltdown. It really makes me happy. Not only are his doctor appointments and trips to the grocery store a million times easier, but we could throw in a few fun things…
Visitors
We had a really nice weekend. My mom and step-dad came from Southern Utah for a visit. It was the first time the little guy got to meet his Grandpa Ron and it was great. Lots of smiles and kisses going around. I had a wedding to shoot on Saturday and it was my first…
Finns, False Labor, & Christmas Spirit
What a week we have had here in little ol’ Burbank. My cousin and his girlfriend from Finland came to visit for about 10 days, so I did my best getting them to see all Southern California has to offer – which mostly meant that I dropped them off places and let them sightsee, while…
