A (quick) trip to the pumpkin patch

We have been meaning to get to the pumpkin patch for a couple weeks now, and we finally got there on Sunday! We planned it for Sunday because that was supposed to be the warmest day of the weekend and we aren't fans of the cold. We got to the pumpkin patch around 11:45 and started off on the inside activities.




The big corn pit with a slide (seriously Joshua was in heaven)

And we stopped to look at some spooky Halloween decorations (by spooky I Mean, no one was scared of them and the babies LOVED them). My little sisters got their faces painted, and I failed at taking pictures. Oops.

Sammy stayed nice and warm snuggled up in his stroller (oh yeah, it wasn't warm, did I already mention that?)

Then we headed out to the chilly pumpkin patch, where it started raining approximately 2 minutes after we got outside. Awesome. Needless to say we didn't stay long, we got our pumpkins and got out of that chilly weather!

Ok, maybe we stopped to ride a tractor or two along the way

But mostly, we got our pumpkins and got out of there!

  Joshua and Megan always have to get a picture together when we go somewhere, that's the fun part of having an aunt your age. (not really, the fun part is playing with each other ALL THE TIME). But I love pictures of the two of them together :)

I hope you are all having a wonderful fall season. We are still sick here... we just decided to brave the chilly weather to get pumpkins! Then afterwards brought Joshie to the doctor and it turns out he has croup. So we have him on meds, and he is taking nebs every 4 hours and tylenol for his fever. We  hope it leaves soon!




Love Love♥

Thanks Daddy :)

My Dad is an awesome photographer. Seriously I love his pictures :) This last week we did 2 different photo shoots of the boys, one I thought would be fun to do at the park. Big mistake. Apparently when you go to a park with an almost 2 year old that loves slides, he doesn't wanna take pictures. He wants to actually PLAY. Crazy kid. But we got a few cute ones still.

 I love this one :)

 Smiley chunker!

 Too cute.

Then a few days later my parents wanted a picture of the boys to put on their wall. Since they did all the kids school pictures at a different spot they wanted a picture in the same spot of the boys. Makes sense! Try telling that to two little boys who don't like sitting still. Especially together. But once again, my awesome Daddy managed to get a few shots that I absolutely love!

 Handsome Joshie!

Nothing like brotherly love ♥

After much stress and some tears we have some pictures of my boys! 

Love Love ♥

If you need a photographer for ANYTHING, you should try my Dad :) He is very reasonably priced and an awesome photographer and person. Seriously, check him out http://baphotopix.com/.

Where has this week gone?!

Is it for real Thursday already? I feel like our busy weekend just ended. I am definitely not complaining, just wondering where the time has gone! We have done nothing this week. But I am gonna do a little weekend recap, yes I know its WAY late. But we had a busy weekend :)

Saturday-
So Ryan and I both graduated from a little school called PACT charter school. Teeny tiny compared to public schools. On Saturday they had an alumni/homecoming day thing so we decided to stop by for a bit. There was no one there (as expected) and we ended up just letting Joshua play on the park for a little bit and then we came home for naps! Oh and Joshua got to touch a BUS! He loves buses and trucks lately. I didn't realize how many there were on the roads until he started pointing them out to me. Every. Single. One.




Saturday evening Ryan's cousin Travis got married! So we got all fancied up and went to a wedding. Unfortunately I forgot my camera, so here are a couple cell phone pictures and a picture of the bride and groom stolen from facebook :)

Congrats Travis and Erin!!

Sunday-
A few weeks ago my in-laws invited us to go to a vikings game with them. So we ended up going to the Vikings/Lions game on Sunday. What a game! I've never been to a football game before. To be honest, I'm not even sure I've watched a whole football game before. But it was a lot of fun :)

The Vikings ended up losing 26-23. Even though we went into the second half ahead 20-0. Apparently we aren't a 2nd half team. We would be 3 and 0 this year if we only had to play the first half! Instead, we are 0 and 3. Ridiculous.







We had a fun busy weekend! Now the boys and I are all sick and can't seem to get rid of these coughs and sore throats and icky noses. I feel like we just got over this... I am not a fan of this time of year! Hopefully it won't last long. Tomorrow the boys and I are going to check out lifetime fitness and hopefully get a membership! It will be nice to have somewhere to go on those cold snowy winter days to have some fun :)

I hope you are all having a wonderful week! We are looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend at home.

Love Love ♥
