The Pumpkin Patches...

Yup I said patches. We went to 2 different places on 2 different days for pumpkins bc i'm a freak. E didn't really enjoy herself the day we went to the pumpkin farm. No shocker there. She had about a 10 mile nap from the house to the farm which ruined her day. We kinda ended up dragging her around.. or carrying her. 

E and her daddy!

A on the other hand had quite the hay day! 

A and E in the giant pumpkin.

Dad and the girls they found the "daddy" of all pumpkins!

 Note to self do not wear sandals to any farm function.

Woo! Hip pop! 

As for the other pumpkin patch... Not as cool as the farm but it has a giant slide!!!

 Thanks to Auntie Helcia for the pics, you are officially the family photographer ;)

Let me tell you, it is soooo hard to get yourself and a 18m old up a rope latter. But we did!! And it was soooo worth it!! 

You know when I said I was a freak? Yeah, I wasn't kidding. I love decorating with this stuff!! We went for eccentric pumpkins this year. Like the black ones? They have glow in the dark paint on them.. One with spider webs and the other clearly stating Happy Halloween :P

A's first haircut 10/4 and a bit of the past.

Yes I waited 3 years and some months to get my kids haircut. The reason why..

I couldn't part with her beautiful blonde little ringlets! 

A on halloween of 2009. She was a flower. 

On to the good stuff.. the first haircut! 

Excuse my exhausted mom look, I think i'm starting to really master it! Haha! 

Obviously her beautiful blonde little ringlets turned into this not so pretty mess, feeling like what seems to be the worlds finest hair. No joke. 

All we really did was have her hair trimmed.. Nothing too spectacular. This pic above isn't the final pic. I asked that about another inch get cut off. But as usual, i'm lacking something in a blog post ;) Final picture to come...

All about my nephew..

I decided that this next post is going to be all about "Scooter". This is mainly for the family who hasn't got to meet the little Scooter yet. Just in case your wondering.. This kids main mode of transportation is scooting everywhere on his butt! Scooter was born 6 weeks early and is a bit behind in a few things, but is quickly catching up. So.. here are some of the pictures I have collected of the kid. 

 First Christmas!

My brother and Scooter. 

 Scooter and E watching a movie. Random.. But just realized their clothes match the chairs they're sitting in. Ha.

Playing in the rain.

On this day.. We played in the rain. It. Was. Awesome! We had absolutely no wind which was unusual. The sun was shining and the thunder was going off all while it was lightly raining. 

E hates getting sprayed or splashed with water. We were expecting her to start screaming.

But...

She enjoyed it!! Molly had a part in it i'm sure.  She loves that dog!

E, A, and Molly...  

The Garden.

Just another day in the garden :) These pictures are actually pretty old. I need to take new ones. But you have an idea of what my garden looks like. 

The back row from left to right is Bell Peppers, Better Boy tomato, Cherry tomato, and Jalapeno pepper. The front row is Beefsteak tomato, another Beefsteak tomato, and Yellow squash. 

A just after picking her first tomato! 

A bit of an update.

I have decided that if I have nothing to post about I will just post pictures. I need to keep up on this for all the family members spread across this continent. 

 

So on this day. We went to the farmers market.. and I locked us out of my car. Again. Yes I said again. I have done this about 5 times in the past year now. I swear one day I will be SOL! Thank goodness BePa was with us and had AAA!
