Walter's Pumpkin Patch {2014}

We had quite the crew at the pumpkin patch today.

 

 Baby Finn came along.

 Papa, Lisa & Allysa joined in the fun.

Abby, Payton & Grayson met us there along with Trace, Lisa & Robin.

 We brought our cousins of course.

 And Linda was extra pair of hands to help hold.

 The boys were brave enough to do the hill slide on their own this year.

 This is a troublesome trio!

 But as always, the tractor ride to the pumpkin field was the favorite part.

 The kids each picked out a pumpkin, except Kate because she had fallen asleep.

So Grayson picked one out for her.  :) 

 

 This is the best we could do by the mark your growth pumpkin this year.  In true Gavin form, he was not about to stand still.

 I love this girlie so much and love that she adores my kids just a bit too.

Oh the pics we get of this crew..

 And trying to snap a pic of just mine was just as comical...

We never tire of this special place.  If we could afford to, we would go everyday while they are open.  Lisa was working their this year and got us comp admission tickets.  SCORE!  So we could afford to pay the way for some others that may have not otherwise been able to come.  The pumpkin patch was the perfect ending to this fun filled weekend.  We have the best family and friends anyone could ask for.

Cousin Sleepover

This weekend we went to my cousin's house to have a sleepover and spend some time with Dane and Stella.

Gavin was so cute.  He insisted Bella the dog was "sad."

 Dinner is so much more fun with friends.

 We got out the record player and played some oldies after dinner.

 No playdate is complete without a bath.

 The two little ones were so cute together.  The boys had a great time in the bunk beds although Kate and Gavin both ended up in the bed with Ethanni and I by the end of the night.

 Sunday a.m. we got up and went to Ethanni's neighbors house to check out their baby goats and cats.  By neighbor I mean they lived 10miles away!

 The boys couldn't get over how tiny the goats were.

 And the never ending pile of kitten was a hit too!

Now we are off to the pumpkin patch for a great fall afternoon.



Cheese

Oh these kids and their expressions.  There is never a dull moment around here!

Checking In

My kids love to cuddle.  Every evening we have to spend some time in the floor just cuddling and "checking in."  When they were younger I thought that they might grow out of it. But as they have gotten older they seem to need it even more.  It is definitely one of our favorite times of the day.
