A Bella Mishap and Pumpkin Time

We noticed about a week and a half ago that Bella had an infected paw.  We took her into the vet and it turns out she had a foxtail stuck up in her toenail.  Luckily they didn't need to surgically remove it, they just used some tweezers, but because she had gotten an infection, it looked pretty gross.  So here she is, looking sad in her cone, that she has to wear for a week so she doesn't lick it.  Poor Bella Bean.

Wyatt loved carving the pumpkin, especially playing with all the "guts"...He is such a boy!

He's looking up at the ceiling in this photo because he flipped some seeds up there.

 So proud of the finally product.  Notice the awesome Thomas the Train stickers on Jack the Pumpkin.

My favorite part of carving a pumpkin, baked salty seeds.

Mimi and Tia Stay To Play

Mimi and Tia decided to extend their trip after Palm Springs and stay in San Diego for a week.  It was nice to have them here to spend so much time with Wyatt, since I have been terribly sick during this pregnancy.

We took Wyatt to get his second professional haircut.  He lasted a bit longer before he started crying this time, 5 minutes!

Time at the San Diego Zoo.

While Mimi and Tia babysat Wyatt for a weekend, Kevin and I went with Monica and her boyfriend Joel to Palm Springs to celebrate her birthday.

We rented this great house for the weekend, best part, the pool and hot tub.

This trip we decided to take the tram in Palm Springs up to the highest point in Southern California, about 8,000 ft.  Which meant even though it was 90F at the house, it was 50F at the top of the mountain right before sunset.  It was breathtaking.

After the amazing sunset views we headed downtown to Chop House, a steakhouse, to celebrate Monica's birthday.  It was such a fantastic night and weekend.



Jolly Family Reunion

It has taken forever for me to post, but with the help of Kevin, I finally got the pictures loaded up. A week after we went to the beach house with my family, we went to Palm Springs with Kevin's for a week. What a great couple of weeks!

There was lots of pool time during our trip.

We also took a trip to the Living Desert, Palm Springs version of a zoo.  Wyatt loved all the statues.

We even got to feed a giraffe.  Wyatt was a little nervous, who could blame him with him with those lips.

He was very good at combing the goats too.

The boys played on the golf course lawn outside of the rooms.  Wyatt loved couting down and running up and down the hill.

The guys out for a walk.

 

The hotel had a gondola ride around the lake surrounding the property.  I think Wyatt actually liked the life jacket more than the boat ride. 

One of our daily walks to check out the ducks, swans, and geese.

One night we went to Kobe a teppanyaki restaurant, Caden was fascinated with the fire, Wyatt was not, as you can tell from their faces.



It's a boy!

We just found out today that we are having another little boy. I'm sure Wyatt will be thrilled once he realizes he is going to have his own baby brother around the house soon (if you know him, you know how much he is in awe of babies). We are so excited and can't wait for April Fools Day when he is due.
