November 2011: Trip to San Francisco

This November we decided to visit Mandy and Matthew in San Francisco. We had a lot of fun, as always. We:
-had a Scentsy party.
-went to Pier 39 to see the seals, shop and see the Christmas decor. It was quite breezy and chilly!
-played the dance game on M&M's xbox kinect. Good times. Even Ryan showed us a few moves.
-ate at some yummy restaraunts.
-went to the San Fran Zoo. It was awesome!
-went to Muir Woods.
-went to the Oakland Temple. The grounds were beautifully decorated in Christmas lights.
-went to Union square.

It was a ton of fun! Can't wait to go back. :)

October 2011

October is always a favorite month of ours. Both my birthday and Ryan's birthday are in the month of October so we are kind of partial. We love the fall weather and Halloween, carving pumpkins and trick-or-treating. Here are some pictures from our month of October.


Zoe at the pumpkin patch.




We carved our pumpkin a few days later. Zoe was a very helpful assistant. She stood by sipping on her Chick-fil-a lemonade.










She got distracted. She wanted a flower, as usual.


So that she could pick it apart, as usual.


Back to pumpkin carving. She wasn't a fan of the pumpkin guts.




Zoe absolutely loves panda bears. She notices them everywhere. One time we were at a park and Zoe noticed the panda on someone's Panda Express drink cup and freaked OUT. She probably has 3 or 4 different stuffed pandas, shirts with pandas on them, watches Knug FU Panda at least 3 or 4 times a week. Yeah...She LOVES them. So, when I found this panda costume, I died! I knew she would love it, and she did. Halloween night we went to our soon-to-be neighborhood to trick-or-treat. Zoe had so much fun. She was a little shy but had fun watching her bucket fill up with candy.
