10.03.10 :: Papa's Pumpkin Patch

We loaded the kids in the van and headed to Bismarck. We had lunch at the Olive Garden...yum! Did a little shopping and spent a couple hours at the pumpkin patch.









The pumpkin launcher was pretty cool!




Wee!





















It was a great family day! The kids were definitely worn out after all the fun!

Zoo Fun!

Our family loves the zoo! Where else can you...

...pretend to be growling lions?












...melt your parents' hearts by walking hand-in-hand?



...meet the newest member of the zoo family?





...be a waddling penguin?





...have a chat with a beautiful bird?



...pretend to be a cowboy?







...sit together on a bench and admire your sweet babies?

Answer to Prayer!

Back in April, I wrote about friends of mine who had a baby very early.

She was due to be born today, but her birthday is April 18, 2010.



Well, check out this little miracle!



Sweet Kassy Lee spent 110 days in the hospital.
Now, she's home with her mommy & daddy!!



Praise God for miracles!!

Congratulations, Curtis & Mandy!
You're awesome parents!
Kassy is lucky to have you!

Can't believe it!

It's hard to imagine that my baby is big enough for a little toddler bed! The crib she's in was used by 3 of her cousins and Hudson. We've been rigging it up to keep the side rail up, but it's to the point where there's no more fix. Last week, I went to get her up twice and she had one leg over the side trying to get herself out! Makes a mommy nervous!!






headboard


footboard


with the super cute matching bedding that cost almost as much as the bed...ridiculous, but couldn't pass it up!


While we were shopping for the bed, Hudson asked if he could get a new bed, too. Seemed only fair to let him get new sheets. That made his day!

I guess I had forgotten...

that when the baseball team wins a State Championship,
they show their assistant coach their
appreciation by trashing his house!! :)
Wonder what the head coach's house looked like?!?




Andy's pickup truck (I call it the hiccup truck, Andy calls him Fred.) got a whipped cream and toilet paper bath.




Plastic forks stuck in the grass.
I stopped counting at 75!!


Delaney watched us clean up from the house in her cozy boy pjs.


This made me laugh. :)


Pool and slide on top of the shed.


Only baseball players could throw toilet paper that high!


Hudson helped daddy clean up.
