Pumpkin Patch

Our prayers and thoughts are with Mommy's Grandma Compton who went to be with her husband in the presence of the Lord. She passed on Friday afternoon.

Mommy went back to Virginia to be with her father and with Lisa. The boys stayed with Daddy in Camarillo.

Daddy took the boys to the pumpkin patch in the town of Ojai. Here the boys are making their way through the hay maze.

Admiring a classic John Deer and we do mean a classic.

In the corn field. It was like the movie "Field of Dreams" but with pumpkins replacing Kevin Costner.

Hay Surfing!

Ready for the hay ride.

Aren't they cute!

Back at home, Michael with his trains.

The boys with their Halloween costumes. Timmy did not have his entire uniform on. Oh, we also went to the Sports Card Shop today as well.

October is Baseball Month at the Pellicans!

This image should have been at the end. Timmy is playing Fall Ball. We have already played three games and through Tim's one-year career in baseball, he has never even stepped on to the pitcher's mound. It all changed on October 4! His coach asked him to take the mound at the last inning..Timmy looked as if the coach had asked him to speak in Chinese! But Timmy took the mound. Daddy said he was just as nervous for Timmy as when Mommy had gone into labor! He took the mound and was a little nervous at first..it all passed when he struck out his first batter! He did walk two batters but ended up striking out a second batter in the same inning. He did hit one batter in the head, but in daddy's opinion he was crowding the plate. So for his first time on the mound, Timmy did fantastic! Now he is looking forward to pitching in the next game!


Timmy napping in Mommy and Daddy's bed.

Timmy got his expander in preparation for braces, Here Mommy is tightening the appliance..Michael is helping!

Well our beloved Dodgers finally won the NL West! We went to see them two weeks ago and Timmy wore his Manny wig. You can only guess who he is going as for Halloween!

Speaking of Timmy's hero..

Dodger Baseball & USC Football Weekend!

Thursday night we went to see the LA Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was a beautiful evening!

Michael waiting to get into the gate..

We were early and we had a chance to watch some of the practice. There was still smoke in the distant mountains due to the fires.

Timmy got his Manny Ramirez wig. You can only guess who he is going as for Halloween.. Timmy starts Fall Ball baseball next weekend and we are so excited!

On Saturday, Timmy and Daddy went to the USC football game. Mommy wasn't feeling well so she stayed home with Michael.

Our guys in action in their 58-3 win over San Jose State!

Traveler, the USC horse, comes out every time we score a touchdown! He got a real workout on this day!

Timmy did not get home from Virginia until 2:00am Sunday morning. The plane was 6 hours late getting in due to some weather occurances. Needless to say we all slept in on Sunday and then we went to the Camarillo Air Show.

Before picking Timmy up from the Long Beach airport, we had some time to kill. We went to SeaSide Village in Long Beach and of course B found some entertainment. She really got excited when Captain Sparrow asked her to play with his sword..

Some of the ghouls..Then the scary beings that are hanging around as well.

Michael enjoying some chips and salsa at the Mexican restaurant we ate for dinner.
