The Pumpkin Patch

We love October because that means that we get to go to the Pumpkin Patch. And we not only go one time to the pumpkin patch, but we go as many times as the kids can convince me to go. It is actually a lot of fun, but sometimes I just get worn out in the 95 degree weather in October. We did go on opening day with our neighbors, Evelyn and Michelle.




Trip #2 was with our cousins to a new pumpkin patch where we went on the train ride and climbed on their big tall mountains of hay. They also had a petting zoo and lots of fun space to run around.

Trip #3 was with Kolby's pre-K class. The highlight of the trip was going on a tractor ride through the corn fields and getting a flat tire. Kolby thought that was the greatest thing ever! He has loved his Pre-K class and his teachers, Mrs. G and Mrs. Palmer have been so great for him.

Trip #5 was to see our cute friend Lindsay perform with her dance group. Kolby and Eliza loved watching her...Kolby's going to miss his little buddy.

Thank you to the Pumpkin Patch for providing so many fun memories over the past 4 years! And thanks for all of our friends who enjoyed it with us.

Happy 1st Birthday, Carson!

On October 3rd, our little bubsy Carson turned 1! I can't believe how fast the time went by. My little barfy baby has outgrown his reflux and become such a happy little boy. Grandma & Grandpa Downen came to celebrate his birthday and his favorite part was the balloons. He just wanted to chase the balloons around the house all day. That was all he needed, even though he did get some cute clothes and toys. He definitely didn't need the cake, as you can see in the last picture. I am 3/3 on making my kids cry on their first birthday by trying to force them to eat their cake/cupcake. Carson is a hilarious kid who is so fun and goes with the flow and he is adored by his big brother and sister. They take such good care of him and were so happy for him to turn 1 so he could start doing big kid things with them. Happy Birthday, Carson! We love you!
