Halloween at Warner Springs

We escaped from the smoke for a weekend in Warner Springs with the family. Weather was perfect, we sat in the hot springs several times a day, and had good food and beer. What more can you ask for? Nathan dressed up like a monkey but wasn't feeling too well and slept through most of the tricker treating! Looks like this will be an annual trip for us.

Cabin Fever

Since the air quality is so bad here in San Diego, we have been cooped up in our little condo since Tuesday. When you are almost 8 months and on the move, it is easy to get yourself into trouble. Nathan proved he is a Davies/Ceja by heading straight for the wine. At least he chose a good bottle!

Pumpkin Patch

Today we are hanging close to home due to the air quality and Nathan being pretty hoarse and congested. Hard to believe that 4 years to the day we are watching parts of our county burn. Luckily our friends in mandatory evacuation areas all seem to be doing fine, but it is still very sad. Our school district decided to do the smart thing and close down today, after the mess yesterday. We had 10 teachers out and no coverage, which I assume was how it was at all schools. I have to say though that our staff was awesome at dealing with parents, covering classes and just pulling together to help those who were evacuated.

Onto more happy things. We took Nathan to the Cobb Ranch Pumpkin Patch in Fresno this past weekend. It was so windy, but we managed to get a few cute pictures.

Oh and Nathan is now officially mobile. He is all over the place. As I type, Brian is at Home Depot buying baby proofing stuff. This morning when I went to get him out of the crib, he was sitting up (another first), so it is time to lower the crib!

Officially Time to Child Proof the House

Mexico in the Fall

We had another good trip down to the river, despite the fact that Nathan was cursed with getting 3 teeth at once. The kids had a great time kayaking, wakeskating and wakeboarding. Kaitlin gave wakeboarding a try with Uncle Brian on the kneeboard next to her. Nathan and Kory had fun playing on the patio.

Not sure whether to be concerned or laugh!

7 Months Old!

Nathan is 7-months old today. As you can see from the posts below, Nathan is having a lot of fun. He is super close to crawling, but gets frustrated when his arms and legs don't work in sync to get him to where he wants to go. He seems to be working on a few teeth right now, but none of them seem to want to show themselves. Nathan is getting so big. We are looking forward to a busy month of trips to Mexico, Fresno and Warner Springs for Halloween. Stay tuned for pictures of Nathan in his costume...

Pics from Geoff and Lara's

We had a nice time with our friends from Colorado. The weather was perfect for their visit so we hung out near or at the beach, and had great food and drinks.

Winter is around the corner!

Actually had to bundle up to go to the beach this morning! I like Nathan's outfit.

Mexico

Another great weekend in Mexico. Pretty light crew down this time and we had great weather the entire weekend. We're going back in two weeks since this is such a great time to be down there.

It was cool to see Nathan and Kory together as well. There should be some cool pics of them together from others and I'll post them up when I get them.
