pumpkin patch

OKAY AND FINALLY TODAY WE WENT TO THE PUMPKIN PATCH.

it was a beautiful afternoon and the trip was completely idyllic and perfect. my family is beautiful and i love pumpkins.

AAAND

also we got to see a hockey game with friends recently and it was awesome:





and then the other day i was trying to take gratuitous outfit pictures of myself and eli started photobombing me and mugging like crazy and it was hilarious.





in this one it is worth ignoring my "casual stretch" douchebag pose to enjoy eli's muscle flex:

NYC

oh yeah also we went to nyc at the end of the summer. it was me and eli's first time and it was awesome. we stayed with friends and eli and their daughter turned 5 while we were there visiting so we had double birthday parties.

futhermore

we had visitors a lot this summer! grandma and grandpa j came up from san jose so that jason and his dad could build a fence together. totally awesome!



we took eli bowling for the first time.



spent time with cousins:



also my big sister came to visit this summer, bringing along her 3 beautiful daughters.





these things occurred somewhere in there too:

OH CRAP

well i have totally dropped the ball on this. holy baby jesus. here's some crap that we have done since MAY 19TH JESUS. (it's october now. woops.)

over memorial day weekend we went to a 5 day music festival!! sasquatch ruled! i worked the stumptown cart backstage and eli and jason partied it up.




















it was amazing, once in a lifetime, crazy experience. eli met rock stars and got to see a ton of bands play. his favorite band was the thermals. AWESOMEEEEE.
