Fresno and the Patricios

I finally - after a year of saying I would - made it up to Fresno to visit Ashely and family. John had to work so it was just me and the boys. Everyone told me I was crazy for taking the boys on a four hour car ride by myself. Honestly it wasn't that bad. Luke had his moments, on the way up that including 60 minutes of constant crying, but overall I can't complain. The way home was a breeze. I'd say maybe 15 minutes total of crying. I'm not saying I'd be willing to brave the Montana drive, but I could do Fresno again. So Ashley and I were pregnant together and her little girl Taylor is just a month younger than Luke.

Taylor is super cute and has had that much hair or more since she came out. Luke seems like a slug next to her - she's moving all over the place rolling around.
Ashley and Garrett took us to a pumpkin patch, a real one where the pumpkins are actually growing out of the ground. I think it was lots of fun for Joshua. Joshua is in this annoying (or precious) mamas boy stage. It is driving me a little crazy. The whole weekend he was literally clinging on my leg. "I want you mommy" was his constant phrase. I hated that the Patricios couldn't see him at his cutest. I know it's just a phase though - and before I know it I'll be missing his attachment to me.

They had a tractor pulling this train made of - I'm not quite sure what - could you help me with that Garrett?Thanks guys for a great weekend. It was great to hang out and your house is amazing! And of course your daughter is adorable, happy, and energetic. Love you!
