Our lil' drummer boy

Sage is really into playing my drum these days, here he is showing off his "rhythm".

Oh how I love fall!

I finally got a chance to put up some great fall pictures of our time at Avila Valley Barn up in San Luis Obispo. The farm is one of my favorite places in all of California, I actually feel like I'm back in the midwest when I'm there =) Here's Sage devouring an apple his dad picked for him.

Doesn't Sage look so grown up in this picture? Cute, but sad - it's all going so fast!

An attempt at a family pumpkin photo, Sage just wanted to go check out the goats more.
Here's a video of Sage feeding the goats, awwwwww, makes my heart sing that he loves his farm animals =)

My lil' buckaroo

I have looked forward to this day for many, many years. Dan took the morning off and we decided to go hang out at the ranch for a few hours. All three of us rode, most exciting of course was getting Sage on a horse for the first time. He rode good ole' Sierra and LOVED it. I am one proud mama! =)

Here's a video of his first ride. He didn't have any hint of fear, just big smiles the whole time. He's a natural cowboy =)

A Sage-asaurus!

We took Sage trick-or-treating with our friends the Ficsors. Last Halloween we were with them as well and it was only a few weeks later that their home burnt down in the Tea Fire. It was a great Halloween this year not only because it was, well, Halloween, but it was also the Ficsors first night in their newly built home! Sage was a dinosaur and Sammy was the Flash. I must say I'm pretty proud of my first homemade Halloween costume as a mom. =)

Check out that tail!

It didn't take long for Sage to figure out that Halloween meant candy
Sage very proud of his lollipop
