We celebrated Gabi's 3rd birthday this afternoon with a party at Golden's "Discovery Park." It was a dinosaur-themed party because the park has a fossil dig sandbox, tall grass maze, rock climbing wall, and a play area with a turtle and dinosaur. The park is close to our house, so we frequent it often and Gabi loves it. Here is a picture of the party attendees and their dinosaur friends!

We also had a dinosaur egg hunt!

My first kid's birthday cake! Not bad for a rookie! :-) So glad Auntie Amanda will be able to make the girls' cakes from now on! ;-) She is way better!

Gabi was spoiled, spoiled, spoiled! It seemed like we were opening presents all week! She loves everything! Thank you to all of our wonderful family and friends for the wonderful gifts!

Grocery Cart:


Playing dress-up with her new dress-up box (she especially loves the shoes and gloves!):


Maya was in heaven too with all of Gabi's new toys (when she shares, that is!)


Here are a couple of other pictures from the past week or so. We've been out enjoying beautiful fall weather -- lots of walks to the park and playing Gabi's new favorite games in the backyard -- tag and hide-n-seek.


We've been enjoying produce from Grant Farms this summer. We belong to a CSA, so we get local, organic produce delivered every week. I made applesauce with the apples we received last week and the girls loved it! Here's a picture of them being silly eating it.

Lots of love! Joe, Tara, Gabi & Maya
