BIG ORANGE PUMPKIN PATCH

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL! It's time for Halloween! Our playgroup made our yearly outing to the pumpkin patch recently and had fun as usual. Although, it is getting harder than the first time we went. The first time we went we all had ONE kid and most of them were immobile so you could simply lean them up against a pumpkin and snap a picture. This year we were lucky to even keep with them. Some were feeding animals, others were picking things up, riding play tractors, picking their pumpkin, etc. It was very hectic, very busy but very fun too! Next year might be a different story with me taking THREE kids. I am just letting everyone know now that if you don't have plans in October...I might have to call in reinforcements to go with me!

State Fair of Texas

Howdy folks! It's Big Tex!!! It's that time of year again! Momma's favorite time of year! The fair is here!!! I LOVE THE FAIR! I can still remember going as a kid and eating all of the food, going to the car show with my dad, riding on my dad's shoulders when I got tired of walking, and the parade! I promised myself that we would do our best to go every year with the kids and so far we have. Jamie says it's more for Momma...and that's okay! As long as I get my Fletcher's corn dog and my fried something for dessert...I am happy! The kids had fun. Hunter was a little more into it but still not as much as Reese. We fed the animals, saw the cars, Reese went through a little pretend farm where she "planted" stuff and then everything that she "grew" she took to the market and they gave her a play dollar to buy something from the store! It was very cute. And we all rode the Ferris Wheel this year. Tons of fun!

Summer is over???

Well, according to the community pool I guess summer is over since we can't go swimming anymore but, according to the weather...well that's a different story! It's not terribly hot but it's also not a nice fall temperature yet either. The mornings and evenings are okay. WE had a good summer. Lots of swimming, playing with friends, playing at Gramma's and Mema's, a trip to Paris...Texas that is and of course our Colorado trip which Reese still talks about. She'll pack her "packpack" and say, "Momma, I'm going to Colorado!" All I can say is, "THAT'S MY GIRL!!!! I'M COMING WITH YOU!" We've also had some surprises this summer. The biggest being that God and his wonderful sense of humor has decided to bless us with yet another sweet child! Most of you already know this but some may not. We are due March 27th. Yes...another March baby! Reese knows it's a girl but we keep reminding her that God decides what the baby will be. We had discussed a 3rd and had decided to wait until next year IF at all. This one has been a doozy! Lots of sickness with this one! But as my sweet husband (who has had no attention in months) keeps telling me...It will all be worth it in the end! We'll keep you posted on baby news and with pictures! Hope your summer was as blessed as ours and that your fall will be as well!
