Today Jakob turns 10!
I’m in awe of the young man he is turning into. He loves nature, books, people and collecting hot wheel cars. He is silly, snarky and super creative, I love spending time with him and although parenting him is not always easy, it is so rewarding!
I went down memory lane in my stories, so check that out for more Jakey cuteness. .

We dodged raindrops to help Grandma and Grandpa pick out a tree this year. We have been coming to this cute Christmas Tree Farm for years now...we love the tractor sleigh ride, the playground, the scavenger hunt, the forest of Seuss trees and the 4h animals! .

Every Thanksgiving we get outside, after breakfast, before cooking for dinner has to start. It started the year we got Apple watches, the watch gives you challenges and special badges upon completion. On thanksgiving there is always a 5k challenge with a cute turkey badge. We typically do at least a 5k hike but this year it was so rainy that we decided to stay on paved ground at the local walking trail. We got rained on a bit, which was super fun and we chatted and got to spend some time together as a family. This is one of my favorite Thanksgiving traditions! .

Happy Rainey Season! My boys had the best time playing in the mud from our first rain of the season...that is until the youngest realized he was cold...swipe to see that sad face. .

Happy Thanksgiving!! This year has been quite a doozy but I’m thankful for it all. The hard stuff was refining and the good stuff filled my soul. I’m super thankful for these people right here and getting to live the life with them! .

If you’re ever looking for a fun way to tour the San Francisco Bay, check out the @sanfranciscobayferry
We took the ferry from the Oakland port into the ferry building in San Fancisco, the boat goes right under the bay bridge gets the perttiest views of the city. We walked the board walk a bit and then took the ferry back with all the commuters. Our country kids got to experience some city hustle and bustle and we watched all the city lights come on as the sun set. I love when an ordinary boat ride becomes something magical! .

The kids have been wanting to go to the zoo, Erik and I usually prefer just being out in nature...but we like our kids so off to the zoo we went.
We had the best day. Animals were out and playing, we got to see them work with the lions, we saw the lemurs get fed, we got to see how a film set works and be “quiet on set” (they were filming a zoo photography class), we saw elephants get fed and green monkeys get fed, it was a great day...also, it was a Tuesday so there wasn’t a ton of people.
We’re happy to do activities our kids love but it’s always nice when it turns into a day we all love! .

Happy November! We kicked off the month and shook off our Halloween hangover with a short but beautiful hike. 🥾
This is Mendoza Ranch, a section of Harvey Bear and Coyote Lake county park, it’s free to park at, has a portapotty, water fountain for you and your dog...and you can bring your dog on the trails! We hiked the Mendoza Trail to a ridge where can see a great view of the South Bay, the trail is moderate for little legs. It’s really dry right now...typical California fall but there are some oak trees that are starting to turn pretty colors! .
