Our Annual Apple Hill Trip
For 8 years now we have been going up to Camino aka Apple Hill to visit all the different apple farms. This year our 1st stop was Apple Ridge Ranch (used to be Pluebells). We saw the farm animals, played on the swing, tractor, and took a few fall pictures.
Our next stop was Larson Ranch for Apples. I bought a 40lb. box of apples, 4 bags of 3lb. apples and 3lb. of pears. The kids tasted various types of apples and helped me pick out which ones to buy. Our 3rd stop was lunch at Honey Bear Ranch where we always order the Apple Chicken Strudel with apple slaw, and a slice of apple pie. After lunch we let the kids feed the fish and took some more fall pictures. 
Our 4th and 5th stops were at High Hill for their variety of apple donuts and Ables Acres for the best apple fritters, and fudge. Sometimes we stop at other farms to check out what they have, but theses always seem to be our favorite ones. What a great way to spend a fall day.

Time with Family and at the Sacramento Temple
Every Fall my girls get 2 weeks off from school. We like to take advantage of their time off and do things with them. One thing we do every year is go to Apple Hill and spend time with family. So this morning we headed to Cameron Park for the next 2 days. Noah's sister Rachel and I wanted to go to the temple. Noah's mom was extremely gracious and offered to watch our kids while we went to a session at the Sacramento Temple. 
We had an absolutely wonderful time. Thank You Grandma! While we were gone the cousins got together at grandmas house. They had a great time. I just hope they didn't wear out grandma too much.

Memory Card Crashed
I guess I don't have much luck with Cameras. I recorded Aubrey singing and dancing on my camera. Then I uploaded it to facebook. The next day I went to take a picture of Ashlyn and it said memory card full. I tried looking at my pictures on the computer and it said there were no pictures to view. I was a little frustrated and after trying it several different times on the printer and laptop Noah and I came to the conclusion everything was lost. Thankfully I will always have those memories in my mind, so I thought I should type them up so I don't forget them.
The 1st memorable moment was Ashlyn with her class pet Dude the turtle. I took some adorable pictures of Ashlyn holding, feeding and playing with Dude. I guess we need to have Dude for the weekend again so that we can create new memories. I did take one picture of him at school.
The 2nd memorable moment was when I went to The Time Out For Women with family and friends. It was a fun and uplifting 2 days. I took pictures of the speakers and musicians that performed for us. Lucky for me I can find a few pictures on the Internet. The bummer part was the pictures I took of family and friends that I lost.
The last memorable moment was Aubrey singing and dancing for me. I have the one I posted on Facebook and that's it. I guess I just need to play music and have her dance and sing for me again. Then I will be able to snap more photos and video of her.

Autumn's Princess Party
This afternoon we had 10 little princess come to our home to celebrate Autumn's 5th Birthday. Autumn wanted a princess party with lots of fancy decorations. So we had confetti, princess balloons, bouquets of flowers, and Dolley's for place mats. We made butterfly and flower sandwiches, veggies, with fancy dip, watermelon, apples, apple juice and strawberry lemonade. 
All of her little friends came dressed in their best princess outfit. Everyone worn different dresses it was really cool. 
The girls ate their princess food and loved it. 
We decorated goodie bags and wands. We played pin the crown on the princess and pass the rose. When the music stopped the girl left holding the rose had to give Autumn their present. Then we took a picture of each little princess with our little princess Autumn.
After she opened her gifts we sang Happy Birthday and let her blow her candles out. She blew out all 5 candles in the birthday pie(that's what she requested, a Chocolate Cream Pie). 
At the end of the party we let the princesses play outside. It was great to see them all playing and jumping around in their dresses. 
Autumn truly had a magical birthday.

Our Princess Autumn Turns 5
Well today our little princess, Autumn turned 5 years old. Where did the time go? She is really growing fast. I was able to help out in her class today. After workshop she was given a certificate, pencil and of course her very own birthday crown. She passed out cupcakes at snack recess after they sang happy birthday to her. I really enjoyed being there with her on her special day. 
We had asked her a few days ago where she wanted to go for her birthday dinner. She said "I want to go to the place where they cook in front of you." Noah and I knew she was referring to the Japanese Restaurant down the street called Shirishoni.
While we were getting ready to go, Autumn and Aubrey were enjoying each other. I thought they were really cute.
After a little playtime we headed to the restaurant. It was a lot of fun for the kids. They take your order, which our Autumn ordered Steak and then cook it all in front of you. They perform in a fun, entertaining way using little tricks as they cook. We all had a great time and Autumn loved it. They sang Happy Birthday and brought her out a special birthday dessert.
After a great dinner we headed home to open presents. She opened up all of her gifts from our family and other members of our extend family. She got Polly Pocket princess addition, art kit, princess scratch design, Ariel with light up tail to play in the tub, bumble transformer car, a giraffe, and a easy reader princess book.
What a wonderful birthday. Autumn is really excited for her Princess Party on Friday. She thought it was going to be today. I hope she can contain herself until then. I told her that now that she is 5 it means being even more patience. She was not to happy to hear that. I said it's part of growing up.
