Pumpkin Patch Visits #1 and 2

I LOVE Halloween time and I love pumpkin patches.  We have been to two so far and plan on going to at least two more before the holiday is over.  Our first one was Uesugi Farms in Morgan Hill.  It is huge with so many fun things to do.  Avery got to ride 2 trains, go on a pony ride, visit the petting zoo, ride the carousel, dance, and eat.  Cant beat that!!
 








 
 
Josh had to work so Grammy and I took Avery to patch #2 today.  This one was much smaller but still tons to do and Avery had a blast.

 All aboard.  Not sure who that little boy is but they had a great train ride together.  Haha

Pumpkin patch 3 will be next weekend with the cousins so stay tuned!

Getting Crafty and Lots More

So lately I have been addicted to Pinterest.  I found an awesome way to display Avery's art work with out cluttering up the refrigerator. It turned out so cute and I am super proud of myself.

 After.....since this picture I have added a decal at the top that says masterpieces.  Way cute and super easy.  Thanks Pinterest.
 
 
The following pictures are just some things we have been up to.  In no particular order...

 Avery's first day of school was October 1st.  She is doing awesome and having such a good time.
 I made these for her teachers to celebrate a successful first week of school.  Another idea I got from Pinterest.

So in a nut shell, this is what the Gatto family has been up to lately.  Hope you enjoyed!

Dirty Thirty

Mt 30th birthday was almost a month ago now.  WOW...time if flying.  Or maybe I just dreaded blogging about it because I did not want to join the 30 club.  This is the first birthday that I actually got emotional about.  I have learned to embrace it and am excited to see what this year has in store for me.
 
This year I decided to celebrate with all my girls.  Josh took baby duty and I spent the night on the town with the ladies.  We started off with a delicious dinner at Mizu sushi followed by drinks at Santana Row.  I know......not to exciting but I never go out so this was a lot for me.
 
Thanks friend for celebrating my birthday with me!!
