Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we headed out to the pumpkin patch to select our pumpkin for carving. While there Maggie befriended a wooden cat.

Julia and Wyatt headed WAY out to look at ALL the pumpkins in the patch and the scarecrows too!!

Maggie discovered the hay........

and threw it..........

My beautiful girls enjoying the fall colors and weather!!

Maggie is now 20 months old and learning and exploring more everyday!! It is incredible to see how much she soaks up into her little brain everyday. She is repeating everything. Words, faces, actions, dances ect.. She amazes me everyday.

Julia is growing up so fast and turning into a little lady. I find myself being able to turn little things that happen daily into "teaching moments" for her and I end up learning something too in the process. I enjoy being their Mom soo much. I understand that each day is a gift and I am trying to make the most of these days when they are young and innocent. They are literally growing up in front of my face and I don't want to miss a thing!!


More Halloween pics to come...........

Below is Julia aka "Penelope the Purple Poodle" her alter ego that she discovered when G'mama came to visit. Penelope comes complete with an array of tricks.........

Maggie and Granddaddy

Maggie loves to jump and here is the proof. Granddaddy was a trooper and I am sure this did not feel too great.....

I have been a bad blogger.........

Sorry for the LONG delay in posting things have been picking up around here since school and all of our activities have started up. Julia is in preschool 3 days a week this year and Maggie just started Little Gym classes. Not to mention MOPS every other week and my weekly Bible study and various play dates that also keep our schedule FULL. We are excited for fall (not winter) and Halloween coming up. G and G are coming up next weekend for a visit and we can't wait!!

These are turkey vultures and they spent about 4 days here lurking around the field in the back yard. There were also 10 more on a neighbors roof that I did not get pics of. They are HUGE birds with 6 ft wing span and SUPER creepy. My friend Jill came by on Thursday and hopped the fence and found a dead coyote that they have been feasting on. (YUCK)
Playing in the sink. New favorite for Moo Moo!!
