Mommy's favorite time of the year always gets so busy - but is full of colors and fun. This year the Smith family decided to go all out with costumes (thanks to Daddy, really, who did the creative and the production!). A fun night of trick-or-treating as a family, we'll have to keep it up now! Of course there was the annual pumpkin patch excursion to farms up north, and lots of opportunities to get dressed up - some of which we've captured here.

BELIZE!
Mommy and Daddy got to sneak away to Belize for five days for a solid diving trip. Celebrating our 9th anniversary and mommy turning 40 (ouch!) was not so bad with the turtles, sharks, and eels.
And the fun with the Krimmels!
Whether we're skiing, camping, or doing little day trips (Russian River - YES!) - it's been fun spending so much time together. Cole and Stella are amazing...The camping trip to Mt Diablo turned out to be a little hotter than anticipated (no running water and major heat!) - we survived, but I would not recommend last-minute reservations!
But of course we need to squeeze in one more little Tahoe trip!
With Brody (and Jeni and Derek) we had some fun in Tahoe this summer a few weekends. Just a few pics...
Auction
So...the Ross Valley Nursery School has an auction every year so we decided to go all out. We question the need to donate cash to a pre-school that seems to be doing just fine (vs. public schools) - but could not skip out on the fun!
Southern CA
We took a week to spend some time in Santa Cruz, Carmel Valley, and then to visit Captain Steve in LA. We got to see Kelly and Fletcher as well. Great driving adventure that included lots of swimming, kite flying, first amusement park adventure for the girls, and of course lots of sun and beach. Great trip!

fun times....just a little when kids get a hold of our camera! and daddy does the Death Ride
some cute pics of one morning :) and daddy bragging!
Ballet, Ballet....
Beginning of June and it was time for the cute ballet performances. It is the last performance for Maya from the Tutu School (where both girls have been going for several years) and Ella's first performance at Stapleton. Both were adorable and had lots of fun with their friends (Maya danced with Annika and Ella and Rori had some fun too).
Mexico 2014
Over Memorial Day week we were lucky enough to fly to Mexico - Punta Cana specifically to enjoy some sunshine, ocean and really good food! We rented a villa with Kelly and Darren and their adorable son Fletcher who turned 1 while on the trip (there was definitely some cake involved). The villa was lovely mostly because it came with lovely ladies and a chef who took care of all of our needs the entire time. It should be the definition of vacation while having kids. There was lots of sun and lots and lots of beach and pool time, but we also found plenty of excuses to play games with the kids (Maya is amazing at memory games!). I don't know if I can play another 'sequence' tournament, but it was great while it lasted.
