Another Pumpkin Patch

We visited my aunt and uncle in SC the other weekend (aka nana and papa paul) and took them to a pumpkin patch/hay-ride. The girls had a great time, they got to feed cows and see some pigs as well as pick out some pumpkins. There was also homemade ice-cream at the end of the hay-ride so the girls loved that.

The place we took them was Strawberry Hills farm. They had a trail that the wagon went on and had all kinds of decorations to keep everyone entertained on the way. When we got to the bridge a troll came out and we had to ask permission to pass. It was really cute and we all had a great time.

7 years

I can't believe it has already been 7 years since the day I married my best friend. I also can't believe how much our lives have changed in those 7 years. When we got married we didn't think we would live in our house more than 5 years and that we would wait 5 to 10 years before we had any kids. But here we are still in the same house with two precious little girls and we couldn't be happier. It just goes to show that we can't plan our lives that we just need to trust in God and follow his plan because he is God and he is always right.

I love you sweetie, happy anniversary!

Cousins

This first picture is Hailey's fall school picture, she did a great job posing (which is easier said than done when we are taking her picture)

Brian's brother and his family were here visiting last week and we had such a good time with them. Little Bailey just turned 6 months old and was adorable, Hailey had a good time playing with her and feeding her a bottle.

We tried to find some things to do while they were here so we went to Hunter Farms, Sports connection and a Fire Station. Riley loves fire trucks so we promised him would would ride by one on our way home one night. Well it was our lucky day because they were washing the floors so they had the trucks out. We stopped by to look at the trucks and some of the nice firemen came out and opened the truck up and let them look around inside and then they got to slide down the pole and had a great time.

At Hunter farms Riley and Hailey loved feeding all the different animals and riding on the hay ride. Everyone got to pick a pumpkin and go through the hay maze. When we got back they got to decorate their pumpkins, don't they look scary.

We got all the kids dresses up in the halloween costumes and tried to take a picture but it was getting late and my little flower girl did not want to cooperate but we did manage this one picture. If it looks like Mackenzie's costume is a little small it is, I looked at the hanger and not the tag and needless to say the sizes didn't match up. I crammed the poor thing into a 6-12 month costume but was able to go and exchange it the next day so she won't be uncomfortable for trick or treating.
