Pumpkin Patch

We made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch this year.  We went a little later than usual, so the pickings were slim, but the kids still had lots of fun.  
K wanted a little pumpkin.  She was very excited to pick up the first little pumpkin she saw.  

D wanted to find the perfect pumpkin.  He looked at every pumpkin before choosing this one.  He was pretty excited when he finally found it.  

On the way back to the car, D found this straw bail and thought it would make a great picture.  (Poor kid, he must think I always have the camera out, and I do)
Here is D and K on the bail.  K is being dramatic for the camera.  
We took Kirby too, he loved it.  He ran up and down the rows, jumped over pumpkins and smelled everything.  
Overall, it was a fun family trip to the pumpkin patch.  It is fun little things like this that make living in our little town fun.

It looks like you guys had fun! We went too, but I'm too lazy to blog about it. It's crazy that your field was almost empty, they are plowing under full fields of pumpkins here without any being harvested.

PS- I found D's hat in my car.

It is pretty sad that our kids pose themselves for pictures without being asked!!! Maybe we have brainwashed them a little!! Looks like you guys had fun. Cute pictures!

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
