Pumpkin Patch


Last weekend we attempted to go to the pumpkin patch. I woke up not feeling well Saturday but we went anyways. It takes about 45 minutes from here and the roads are very curvy and hilly. We got out there and I couldn't even walk I felt so sick. Also, we couldn't even find a place to park it was SO busy. We left even though the kids had a fit. I couldn't manage and it would have been too crowded and we would have had a wait along time to do anything. I decided that we would wait until the following Saturday and be out there when it opened. GOOD CHOICE! We got to do everything we wanted to do, there were no lines and by the time we finished the crowds were pouring in. We had SO SO much fun. Here are a TON of pictures.
Chloe and Brooklyn all set to go!

We went into the kids maze and had a blast! There was no one in there so we ran a muck for quite a while! We managed to find our way out but turned around and done it again!. Here the kids are ready to go!

Jack kept getting left in the dust!

Where are they going?

Oh! There they are!

Daddy and the kids on the first part of the hay ride.

Brooke and Mommy.

They had these huge fields of flowers and for $1 you could fill up a cup with as many flowers as you wanted! The girls had SO much fun picking the ones they wanted to put in their cups.

While the girls and I picked flowers. Jack and Daddy got to go play on a tractor!

The girls and I on the hay ride back with the flowers they picked. Arn't they pretty?!

Feeding the goats.

More feeding of the goats.

Brooke and her flowers.

Chloe and her flowers. I'm really not sure what is up with her pose...

The girls wanted me to take a picture of the flowers when we were in the car.

All in all it was a GREAT trip out there. We've gone out there the past 4 years and have loved it every time! It's a great tradition.

I have made 2 other posts today here below. Stick around a few more minutes and check them out! Don't be afraid to leave me comments too! :)

Trunk or Treating


Every year our ward does a trunk or treat. We had ours this past Friday and the kids had a GREAT time. They had a cake walk, a costume parade and then on the the trunk or treating.

Here are the kids all ready to go.

Brooklyn got her treat from the cake walk.

As did Chloe

Chloe before she won...

What a cute little witch.

Waiting for the costume parade to start. Don't they look like they are enjoying themselves??

My little batman.

Now...I just have to limit their candy intake! And we haven't even had Halloween yet!

Jack's Field trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Jack's little playgroup had a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch in Marble Falls this past friday. We were missing Ellery and half the time we were there Zach was asleep in the car. We still had a load of fun. Here are some pictures:

Jack's arms after paintign pumpkins. Nice.

Jack, Averee and Austin

Don't they look so happy to be there?

Jack riding the tractor. What you don't get to see is right after I took this picture he pulled the steering wheel off and flipped over backwards. I really wish I would have gotten that on video!

Where's Jack?

Jack feeding the goats.

Oh the hay ride, there was a foot sticking out from under the hay and Jack got a huge kick out of it.

Jack and mommy on the hay ride.

Jack and Austin watching the pumpkins go down the water..

There was a truck out there full of pumpkins that Jack kept calling Mater. It was cute.

All in all it was a fun day!

What am I going to do with this kid??

I can't keep up with this kid! I am not liking this boy 2 year old stuff. I can not keep my eyes off of him for a second. He's in his room playing with his cars. Great. I leave to go to the bathroom. I'm not even away from him for 2 minutes. I go in his room and the front of his shirt is wet. Here is our conversation:

Me: Jack what is on your shirt?

Jack: Um, water.

Me: How did you get water on your shirt?

Jack: Um, toilet.

Me: were you playing in the toilet?

Jack: Um, no. kitty in the toilet!

Me: Jack! did you put the kitty in the toilet????

Jack: Uh huh!

Sure enough, found the kitty. He's laying on the floor licking hims wet self. Bathroom has water everywhere.
Here are some pictures.

Movie Night

Friday night has become movie night around our house. The kids love it. This past week was extra special because we got the new movie Sleeping Beauty! The girls thought it was GREAT because we didn't even have to return it! Here are a couple of pictures.

Here they are all set up with their blankets, chocolate milk and popcorn.

When they are quiet like this.....I remember why I love them! (haha!)
