Pumpkin Party

We went to Greenbluff a couple weeks ago with our neighbors. We had a great time, we ate pumpkin donuts, picked out pumpkins, went on a carriage ride, the works.




We then were invited to a pumpkin carving part at our friends and lots of fun was had by all. Here are some pictures below. I carved an owl, its hard to tell until the lit picture, ours are the top left two. Nick carved a sideways pumpkin happy face. You can enjoy our carvings below!

Santa Barbara No. 5 - Last but not least

I am tired of posting, so this last one is just fund pictures of us riding the carriages around the beach and funny hat pictures.




Santa Barbara No. 4

Surf day! The boys rented a couple of surf boards and hit the waves. Nick wore a wet suit but my brothers were both crazy and braved the freezing water.




Santa Barbara No. 3

We were lucky to be there on Abby's 6th birthday. It was really cute, when Erin asked her who she wanted to sit by for her Birthday Breakfast, she quickly chose Uncle Nick. Very very cute!

The waiters brought her a brownie and ice cream with a candle at 9am. She only licked all the chocolate sauce off.Then it was off to the zoo! The below picture is an ant eater....I was fascinated with it. It was really weird looking and so cool. You should google it...its worth the picture.Then we saw the gorillas. There was a huge one and the girls were really excited. Then Mr. Gorilla decided to reach down and poop in his hand then eat it. Abby said "look he found an apple to eat." We quickly agreed trying to keep a straight face and shooed them off to the next exhibit. It was hilarious!
I don't know what you do when you are in a dinosaur egg, but we Farley's Raaaawwwwrrrr!
We also like to try on silly hats.
The kids got to feed the giraffes, it was really cool. Abby was all over it, Zori would not even get close and Cedric was too short to feed the giraffe and it would put it's tongue through the fence and grab the treat out of his hand.
After the day at the zoo, we had to have a party, and what always ends up happening at parties? Balloon fights!I think Abigail will remember her birthday!

Santa Barbara No. 2

But here is the star of the week! This is Lyla Rae Farley she was 3 weeks at this point. She is beautiful and Aaron and Michelle are great parents and I hope we get to see her more often.


She is getting used to her daddy taking her picture. But this cracked me up....whoa flash!

Santa Barbara No. 1

We had a family reunion in Santa Barbara at the beginning of this month. And by family reunion I mean just my mom Nick and my brothers and their families. The above picture was the view from our hotel. I cannot complain! So I am not sure what you guys do when you get to the beach, but the Farley family runs!
And digs!
And play!



Then because the ocean is really cold we went to try out the pool and hottub
