Pumpkin Patch part 1

Well, it's that time of year again! We went back to Cedar Hill Farms in Hernando to hopefully get a picture of Kenzie AWAKE in the pumpkin patch! Last year she fell asleep on the hayride and didn't get to see the actual pumpkin patch (like she cared). Brian's parents went with us and we had a great time! The weather was wonderful, but got hot towards lunch time. We fed and petted the animals, saw the chicken show, rode the "train", and then took a hayride over to the corn maze and pumpkin patch. When we got back, Kenzie meticulously picked out pumpkins to take home. We're visiting another pumpkin patch in a couple of weeks with Kenzie's Nana and Pop, so stay tuned! Kenzie had a hard time seeing the rabbits because they didn't come out of their cages much, but she sure tried!

We took a snack break and Kenzie got to sit in a real chair! She barely came up to the top of the table, but she got the job done.

She started getting sleepy on the hayride, but perked up when she got to run around in the pumpkin patch. She kept chasing after bugs...doesn't get that curiosity of bugs from me, that's for sure!

Kenzie was very particular about her pumpkins. She really didn't know what to think about the gourds! "Check these out, Grandpa!"

Dancin' the night away!

Kenzie was in a hilarious mood tonight! She would push the lion's nose and just start dancing! We have no idea why she says "shhhhhhh" at the end but it's hysterical!!!!

Llama, Llama Red Pajama

We had a fun day last friday at our school! The author/illustrator of Llama, Llama Red Pajama Anna Dewdney came to read her book to our children! In honor of her book, Mr. Padgett had two llamas brought in! Brian and Kenzie came to school with me (Kenzie in her pajamas of course!) and we had a ball! Kenzie, fearless as usual, loved petting the llamas and trying to put her hand in their mouth. They didn't seem to mind when she pulled on their ears too!

Full of energy!!

Sorry for the poor quality. I shot this on my cell phone. I can't remember what was on tv, but I'm glad my phone was handy!! It was hysterical!!

18 month portraits

These are a few of the shots they took this weekend at Kenzie's 18 month photo shoot. She wasn't as open to being still like the previous appointments, but they still got a few good pictures. These are a couple of the ones we ordered and just some shots from the studio.

Five more minutes!! Trying on momma's sweater...it matches!

My birthday dinner at Van's! Kenzie REALLY wanted a sip of my tea! That's 'D that lives down the street from Van and Kristin. He and Kenzie played a little football!

Hot Springs, AR

We spent Labor Day weekend in Hot Springs, AR on a marriage retreat! There were about 14 or 15 couples from our Hester BFC that went. Yes, that's about 30 people in one house. But we survived and didn't break anything...I don't think! We had so much fun! A much needed getaway!
