Pumpkin Patch

We had so much fun going to the Pumpkin Patch. I have been wanting to go every year for a while and we just never seemed to get around to it, so this year I made sure we did it before too many other activities got in the way. We were so glad that Kelli, Lance and their kids and Grammie and Papi could come with us too. The kids were super excited to go. Lizzy kept asking me all week if today was the day that we were going to go. Lizzy and Brinlee always love to get together and Nellie really loves Braxton and he is so sweet with her. My sweet baby Jane. She is such a good baby, she just hung out with us and didn't get too upset even though she missed her nap and was dead tired.

Me and Nellie on the slide. She wanted to keep going over and over, and Lizzy surprised me she was really brave and went by herself. It was really fun.

The kids getting ready to go find their pumpkins. The pumpkins were just way more than any of us wanted to spend so we let them get one of the tiny 50 cent ones. We all knew which one was Nellie's because it had quite a bit of green on it. Silly girl.

The girl were really cold so Papi wrapped his coat around them to keep them warm, it was really cute.

We got to go on a tram ride to see the buffalo, and if they were close at all it would have been cool, but they were really far off and the driver had diarrhea of the mouth and just kept talking and talking, it got a little old and everyone was just done by that time.

Lizzy hugging Brinlee, they have a lot of fun together.

Look at all those cute little faces.

Our little family. I love these people so much. It is so fun to have kids and take them places and see their excitement. I love my life.

Fall Fest

The annual Fall Fest in Concordia was the last Saturday in September. There is a small parade and then booths and different things for the kids to do. It is always a fun thing to take the kids to, since there isn't that much to do out here. Every year Lizzy has gotten to ride the float for Preschool and Nellie always wanted to. Well this year Nellie got to ride on the float too. She thought she was so big. They got to wear their sunglasses and wave to all the people. Nellie didn't care all that much about waving to people but wouldn't you know Lizzy was all about it. She had her beauty pageant wave down. She was waving to everyone, it was sooo Lizzy.

The girls got to perform on the street for their Dance class. Lizzy loves to dance and she had her dance down. She was practicing it while I was doing her hair that morning. She is such a performer.

I was surprised that Nellie danced at all, it was her first time in front of an audience and she did surprisingly well. I am not sure that it will be something she will stick with once she has more options on activities that she can do, but for now Lizzy does it, so Nellie wants to too.

Nellie jumping on the big tramp, she was a little nervous at first with all the other kids, but she had a lot of fun.

The girls riding on a pony, they seriously love to ride them, but I think most kids think it is pretty cool.

Riding on the train with me. Kevy went home so Janie could nap, so I took the girls and went on some rides and got a snow cone and other stuff, it was fun. Nellie just had to have a green snow cone and what they had was sour apple, it tasted so gross but Nellie just loved it.

Butch

A few weeks back Nellie decided that she needed a haircut. She found some nail scissors (I have no idea where) and she hacked off all of her bangs. Because her hair is really blond these pictures do no do justcie to how bad it was. I did however just pull down more hair and cut it into bangs. It still is noticeable, but not too bad. Kevy keeps calling her Butch because of it, and now Nellie keeps saying, "I'm Butch."
