The last few weeks

Little Paul has been asking to go to Gilroy Gardens since the last time we were there months ago. So one weekend we obliged. It is a really fun place for little tots but not so much for pregos or babies. Babies are welcome to ride the carousel and the train and that's it. So Zoey and I waited in line with everyone and then stepped aside while they went on the rides. Zoey slept most of the time we were there so it wasn't such a bad thing.

Exiting her vehicle like a movie star. She insists on wearing her sunglasses when we go out. 

Paul driving Dad and Paige around. 

Paige again with her designer shades. 

Paul and Dad on the "fast" roller coaster. 

Paige isn't tall enough to ride the coasters so she took pictures of me nursing Zoey while the boys were riding. 

Zoey finally awake.

Paige on the carousel. She LOVES it. She loves it so much we have to pry her little fingers off  the ride and carry her out crying. It's pretty rad. She hasn't figured out that if we get off and walk around she can get right back on. She's such a dramatic girl;)

Sometimes Paul likes the carousel and sometimes it's "boring". Today it was cool.

Uncle Chong and Aunt Clarysa came to visit us the last weekend in September to celebrate Chong's 29th birthday. Eric and Shayna came dowm from SF to celebrate with us. We spent a day at the beach, had cake and ice cream and watched Little Paul's soccer game. It was so fun to be with everyone.

Paige took this photo of Clarysa:) 

Here is Zoey napping. She held onto my hoodie her whole nap. It was cute. 

Football with the kids at the beach.

there he is probably running away from the ball ;)

Last weekend we took a trip to Happy Hollow. It was a lot of fun minus one HUGE meltdown by Ms. Paige. Paige has been having a rough time lately due to lack of sleep. Zoey recently took over the crib/nursery and Paige moved to a queen size bed. Since this move, Paige runs down the hall crying around 2 am and Paul usually ends up sleeping next to her the rest of the night. We are really working on trying to get her to sleep through the night again this week. It's been a battle.

The day started out happy while visiting the goats and donkeys.

Paul feeding one of the donkeys.

Dad protecting Paige from the goats. 

Paige taking a ride on one of the goats. I don't think the goat liked it much because pooped about 10 little terds on Paul' foot. It was pretty awesome and probably the highlight of the day for me. Paul was wearing flip flops :)

Riding the horses.

At the playground

Paige on the ladybug ride. Paul hates this ride but was a good sport and went on it with Paige. 

A really fun swing

Zoey and Dad on the carousel before they kicked them off the horse. No babies on the horses:(

Paige LOVES the triceratops. She rode it 4 times.  

Zoey is eating real food. I just started her on rice cereal. So far she likes it just okay. I forget how messy it is to start solids.

Here is Zoey on her hands and knees. She is getting dangerously close to crawling. Whenever I see her like this I usually roll her over onto her back or pick her up. I'll probably push her over when she starts walking too;) I don't like mobile babies;)

Zoey is 5-months-old

Last weekend, Edee ran in a race in San Francisco so we went up to see everybody Saturday. We spent  the day at the beach and then had pizza and cookies at Eric and Shayna's new apartment. We had so much fun and Paul and Paige loved being with their cousins.

The girls. You can tell Paige is tired because she is holding her ear. 

Brooklyn and Paul playing in the water. I love that the Golden Gate Bridge is in the background.

Paige and Addy were so cute together this trip. Here they are resting. 

All the kids LOVE Uncle Eric. He is so much fun. 

Here is Zoey in a swing for the first time today at the park. She really like it
