Mike n' Molly and Muir Woods!

Ace and Reece got to experience their first hike at the BEAUTIFUL Muir Woods, and Bo found a new best friend in Molly’s Mike.

Mike was the PERFECT hiking buddy for Bo (who doesn’t love a free shoulder ride?) Bo literally can’t stop talking about his “best buddy”.

The hike was GORGEOUS and peaceful for us and a whole new world for Bo to investigate.  Auntie Molly and Mike were on a banana slug hunt and once they found the first one, we realized they were everywhere…just camouflaged!

Ace and Reece had few complaints, the weather was perfect and it was just an overall fantastic day with my fam! 

We stopped in Sausalito on the way home and ate at Horizon’s right on the bay. GA-GA-GORGEOUS! Mimi gave me a break from the Ace-harness (a 15 lb. 2 month old is HEAVY!), so I could try to contain my EXHAUSTED toddler.

It was beautiful ending to a beautiful day and the 2 hour drive home was perfection…

Ok, the last part is a LIE! My “perfect” baby, Ace, serenaded us the ENTIRE way home with his screech owl screaming and this is NOT an exaggeration, he fell asleep when we pulled in the driveway. Such a comedian.

Turner Pack at the Patch!

 

Every single Turner, offspring and all, went to Bishop’s Pumpkin patch on the “BUSIEST DAY IN HISTORY.” 

Even though I waited 35 minutes for a slice of  cheese pizza, which Bo didn’t even eat (shocker!) and I could barely keep track of my own thoughts, let alone my two children, I still had a fabulous time. Well, at least the pictures afterwards look like I did. But hey, when is a visit to a pumpkin patch EVER about the parents (except when it includes a babysitter, corn maze and lots of beer)?

It was so fun to see all the Turners and try to keep track of them, with all the HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of crazed kids running around with their dazed parents trailing after them.

 

Even with all the helping hands, when I’m without Gus, it’s truly DAUNTING to have complete conversations and not lose my children. One of them doesn’t even walk yet!

Ace has never been to pumpkin patch before so you can’t blame him for eating the first one he found.

The kids had a FABULOUS time and Bo absolutely fell in love with pumpkins…so much so that there were a few tiny stowaways in my diaper bag! 

If you plan to go, go on a WEEKDAY and you MUST buy the apple juice. Makes it worth the trip on the “BUSIEST DAY IN HISTORY”…well, almost worth the trip. : )

OctoberFEST, Part 2

The Turner Sisters also came to meet the newest Argenal this past weekend and Bo and Ace were LOVING it. Friday night was a perfect welcoming party for Molls and Natels and we got to spend time with Nat’s best friends from high school.

A few margarita’s later…

Yes, they are wearing THE EXACT SAME SHIRT!

Ace got tons of Auntie Love!

He still only has one priority…pretty sure I don’t need to spell it out but yes, it’s…still E.A.T.I.N.G

Saturday morning was the Hot Pink 5k in Roseville, but due to some RIDICULOUS stroller follies, Colleen and I had to wait it out on the sidelines and cheer the Turner Team on! I also had to take care of Ace’s #1 priority…

Little Dyl was in “pink” performance that day!

 

Molls was the first Turn-girl to pop up…

Yes, that is me fake running with them, but the other three Turner’s deserve the 5k credit.

Next up, PUMPKIN PATCH!

OktoberFEST, Part 1!

Everything you need to know about our FABULOUS visit with the Dubost clan is in this pic below!

Colleen drove all the way up from San Clemente with her two toddlers and it was WILD. For those of you that knew us from the college days, I don’t mean that kind of wild. This is how we spend our “wild-times” now!

I swear they weren’t watching Friday, the 13th! Who knew DISNEY could be so frightful!

Ace didn’t know what all the fuss was about…”what can I do to get some milk around here?”

Bo and Dyl LOVE family pics at the football game…

And we finally got some HELPING HANDS! Yeah for Husbands!

IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! But we both felt like we ran a marathon again, and all we could say to wrap up the weekend: WE LOVE BEING MOMMIES, BUT GIRLS’ TRIP, PLEASE!

Bobo, the Monkey!

 

Rain or Shine…

Freckled or plain…

This boy has bananas on the brain!

Baby Blue Smizing

As we all know, Bo is all Argenal from head-to-toe! So not only is it absolutely FOREIGN to hear people say Ace looks like me, but I’m trying not to jump the gun concerning Ace’s little peepers…

BUT, ME TINKS DEY ARE BLUUUEEEEEEE!!!!! What do you think?

Only time will tell, but one thing for sure is, I am loving your amazing “smizing” eyes NO MATTER WHAT beautiful color they turn.
