Jelly Belly Factory!

On Monday we went across the bay to Walnut Creek to meet up with My Aunt Elizabeth and Cousin Ruth, and Cousin Meagan and her cute baby Vaughn.  We went and saw Meagan and Vaughn's house.  Lulu found Vaughn's room and found this cute giant giraffe.  

After our tour of their place we hoped into the car and headed to the Jelly Belly Factory!  Before we went inside we had a yummy picnic prepared by Aunt Elizabeth.  

Then we went inside got our hats and started the tour. 

Before we started we got to try a yummy Jelly Belly (to get us in the mood)!

Lulu watching the Jelly Bellys being made.  Lulu really liked the Jelly Belly Factory she loved watching them being made and the yummy samples they passed out!

We got a few new blinds put in our apartment and Lulu loved watching the guy installing them!

The one thing the kids can do and get along doing it!

On Saturday Cody and I got to go on our date while the Burninghams watched our kids.  

We went to China Town and walked around got some rice candy where you can eat the wrapper (yummy and crazy).  We walked around The Whalf and ate lunch.  then we walked through the Ferry Building where they had like a little farmers market.  

We had a fun time and did lots of cool things and of course I forgot to take any pictures to show for it until the end I took a picture of Cody's face!  

After our date we went and picked up our kids and then the Burninghams and us went to Twin Peaks to get a few of the City, It was sunny but very windy and very cold we didn't last very long.  But it was a fun adventure. 

I love Owen's Cheese smile!

I think Lulu looks so grown up here!

Owen wanted to wear one of Lulu's head bands to be like her. 

Lulu and Mommy!

Silly Owen boy smiling with is head band on his hair!

Lulu was in our dirty laundry and Owen was climbing on her it was pretty funny!

Story Time, Fun with Friends, Golden Gate Park!

We live just a block away from the public library so we like to go to their story time.  They have these little colored chairs for the kids to sit in.  Lulu loves to sit in the purple chair but the problem with that is there is only three purple chairs and lots and lots of kids, so we have to get to story time really early and so then by the time story time starts Owen and Lulu are having a hard time sitting still and being nice to each other.  Owen likes to put his foot up on Lulu's chair or her lap to get a reaction out of her and he sure does!  It's so fun to watch these little ones do the dances and finger plays with the teacher!

Going for a walk.  This is rare for these two to be holding hands and being nice to one another that I had to take some pictures!  

We love to go to the park and the weather has been so nice since we have been here!

This little girl is a silly one.  She sure knows how to keep me on my toes all day long.  I love peeking in on her when she is sleeping she is so sweet and she is growing up way to fast.  Where does the time go?  I love you my sweet little Lulu!

On Saturday's we started switching off babysitting with our good friends the Burningham's that we moved to San Francisco with.  This Saturday was our first time doing it and we were watching their kids while they went on a date.  They have three little ones Ben who is 5, Brooklyn who is 3, and Ezra who is 1.  We took them to Golden Gate Park to watch the little sail boats on the lake.  It was lots of fun!

After our adventure to Golden Gate Park we went home and had lunch.  

Brooklyn and Lulu!

Owen and Daddy eating their lunch!

After the Burningham's left we went to a fun little wind mill in Golden Gate Park. 

Lulu wanted to hold Owen.  

Owen is just as big as she is!

Then we went over to the beach and let Lulu play in the sand, Owen isn't a fan of the sand.

Owen was so cute while I was taking Lulu's pictures Owen was over by his sign just in a diaper

smiling for his pictures.  He cracks me up!

Then I put a shirt on him and he got serious!

The Zoo and Golden Gate Park!

We got season passes to the San Francisco Zoo.  We went with some friends.

On Saturday my Aunt Elizabeth and her family came to visit us and we went to Golden Gate Park for a picnic and then we went exploring!  

 Lulu and Ruth!

Our Big Move!

The Holidays are over and our family made a big move to San Francisco!  We rolled into town on January 3rd with no place to live.  We had found an apartment that we liked but wanted to check out another place first before deciding.  We checked out the other place and decided that the apartment was for us so we signed the paperwork got our keys.  We had our keys but didn't have our stuff, our POD was running a week late. So we ran to Target to grab stuff to get us by until our things came.  

So far we have liked San Francisco, we have a park and the public library, we can see the beach from our apartment complex.  The weather has been fantastic!

Here Lulu is giving a little doggy a ride to the park!

A day at the beach with friends!

Owen is not to sure about the sand! And he does not like the water.
