Happy Halloween!

We had a very fun Halloween here at the Bergman house! The weekend we found out Noelle is a girl, we went to my in-law's town to get pumpkins and decorate jack-o-lanterns. Michelle had fun running around the pumpkin patch and kissing piggy statues :)

All week long, Michelle was excited and talked about trick-or-treating. We decorated the house and wore our most festive Halloween gear.

The night of Halloween we walked around the block and then passed out candy to the kids in our neighborhood. We thought we'd get more kids, but we only got about 10-15 kids. I bought two bags of candy, but we used about 1/2 of one bag.

Mish was so excited and polite while trick-or-treating! Everyone thought she was the cutest Tinkerbell ever. I have to agree :)

Happy Halloween from us! Here's a flashback from our first Halloween with Michelle. Such a cute pumpkin <3

Treasure Island Flea Market

On the Sunday after my birthday, I went to the Treasure Island Flea Market with Michael and my sister Nikki. We had fun looking through old stuff, eating delicious food, and soaking up the seaside air. Is it seaside in a bay? Bay air? Hmm

I LOVED this whole trunk of frames. 

Have I mentioned I have a thing for teal furniture? I wish this toddler chair was just a little cheaper. It would be in my house if it was ;-)

Made in Haiti and SO beautiful! 

My beautiful sister looking at some beautiful art. She's always down to explore and have fun :)

We had the BEST food at the Flea Market, and honestly, I'd go back just to grub on all that deliciousness <3

SO many food trucks!

Fruit, mmmm

Samosas! Ahh yes!

Michael's chicken tikka masala burrito. Smelled SO good.

She loved this creamy milky mango drink from the Indian food truck. Can't remember what it was called, but I wish I did!

Baby bird, eating all the food.

Kisses from Auntie Nikki!

Kisses from Daddy!

I was so tempted to buy this vintage bassinet. I am regretting not buying it now!

Petting this HUGE dog! Pictures don't do it justice, this guy was MASSIVE!

Kissing her new bracelet. Hahaha, think she likes it?!

 The Flea Market also had a little petting zoo! Mish loved the goats, bunnies, and pig. She was a little nervous about the chickens and ducks. I don't blame her! Lol

View from Treasure Island. Oh San Francisco, you're so beautiful

But she's the prettiest of all <3

Quick update and new camera!

Today has been a hot and busy day! I made a veggie pot pie, two platters of enchiladas, Mexican rice, and a blackberry cobbler. It was 100+ degrees outside today, and baking all day didn't help with the heat, but I'm excited to have a few days of dinner already cooked :)

For my birthday Michael bought me the nicest Canon DSLR and I have been going picture crazy! Speaking of my birthday, Michael took the day off and took Michelle and me up to Oregon where we played in Ashland at Lithia Park, shopped in Medford, and got ice cream. We got dinner in Yreka, and ended the night with cake at home. He is so sweet.

Of course I have to post some of the pictures I've taken with my camera ;-) Here they are below.

Birthday Zoo Trip

For the actual day of Michelle's birthday we took her to the zoo! Mish loves animals (especially monkeys, giraffes, and elephants), so the Oakland Zoo was a no-brainer! We debated the San Francisco Zoo, but they don't have elephants (boo, but understandable since it's smaller and on the edge of the city in Golden Gate Park). Mish had so much fun the whole day!

She kept calling to the giraffes, but alas, they were too walking around and chatting with their other giraffe friends ;-)

When we saw the elephants she kept yelling "No sticks! Strawberries!" lol! She was snacking on some strawberries at the time and must have felt sad that her snack was so much tastier.

She wasn't as into the tigers though; not flashy enough I guess  :-)

Yeehaw froggy!

Hi, Goat!! 

Mish was really into the goats and kept calling them dogs when we first got to the petting zoo. Lol! After a while, she called them all "mommy goat" and "baby goat" depending on which size it was. It was so adorable!

How's it going, goat?

All in all, I know she had a great day! We had a picnic in the grass, road the little train, and left the zoo with two stuffed animals! Then she got her very own ice cream cone! Lucky girl <3
When we got home she couldn't stop talking about how fun the zoo was!
