Annual Pumpkin Patch Trip 2015

Kylee's class at school made a trip to the Pumpkin Patch last week, so we packed our lunch, and joined in!!

Pretending to be "Woody"

Sweet girl friends!

The pumpkin patch is pretty big with lots to look at, and the kids love to run around and take pictures with their favorite characters!!! 

And we all got to buy a small pumpkin!! Maggie was very nice to remember to buy one for the baby!

Up too!!

I don't really know why I haven't blogged lately!! Or very often!! 

Maybe I've been busy, but I think it's because we have so many projects going and NONE are completely finished, I just feel like I shouldn't update!

Really, I'm in all things baby mode right now! 

Trying to wash and collect some newborn stuff, blankets, bibs, and burp cloths. Mom is working on the bedding, and can get so much more done than what I can with the machine. The bumper is being stuffed right now, the bed skirt is done, and she is working on a few throw pillows for Maggie and the babies bed, and a bed skirt for Maggie's bed. AND, a couple of blankets, and a few burp cloths! Sorry Mom!! I keep her foot busy on the machine!! 

I'm trying to hang and decorate some things for their room together. I got a white shelf that I like a lot at the Market in Ballinger. Just trying to pull it all together. Poor Maggie. I don't think her room ever had any decorations in it!! :)

And really all of it can wait, if she decides to come now!! :)

37 1/2 weeks, and I feel really pretty good. I just feel like I'm carrying her different than the other 3. Don't know if I am, or if it's just in my mind. I have felt some pain over the past couple weeks, so that is a good thing, but now I feel great, so I think I should start walking more in the evenings, so she will come!! :)

We did manage to take Kylee to Target to use her gift card from her birthday!!  

When did she get so grown up??

Maggie brought her purse too, and Jason gave her and Jaxon a $1 to spend. She was thrilled, and told me with her animated self, "I've been looking all over, and I can't find any Peppa the Pig toys!!"

Other than that, the guys are busy in the field trying to get done with harvesting, which makes for late nights for everybody! All is well!! 

PIPs

If you grew up in the 90's, chances are you either did PIPs or heard about it!! It's sort of like the Jump Rope teams, that would perform at basketball games. This was before the days of YMCA sports, and let's just say, I screamed with excitement to see the flyer in Kylee's backpack a few weeks ago!! Or maybe I was just reliving the good 'ole days in my head of when we used to do Pips!!

I know this will be a shocker to most of you….. She's learning the same ball handling routine we did!! It cracks me up!! But, it's such good skills, she needs to learn!! Can't wait for to perform at some games!! 

We've had 2 practices, and she really likes it!! There are a few girls from her grade, so that is good! 

Here she is!! Eating supper, doing homework, all with the basketball in sight!! The life of a 7 year old!! ;)

September was BIG!

September was a big month!!!

We had hunting season start, and survived homecoming week!

We had a baby shower for a sweet little cowboy that should be here soon! Cousin to our baby girl!! 

Addi gave her heart to Jesus, and was baptized at church! 

We had new rules established in the house. It's either for Maggie or me…. :)

Maggie started and ended gymnastics one day a week! She went from being shy and scared the first day, to completely running the class. Fixing the equipment and telling everyone where to go, and perfecting basically all the gymnastics skills a 3 year old can know! 

She will be CEO of some company one day with all these great skills she has! Until then, she is learning the hard way, you can't kick people when you are made at them.  

I late night prepped for an Ice Cream party for the sweetest 7 year old around. 

Some girls got together in Ballinger to paint! So fun! 

Jason said, it was a little "cliche"! Ha! 

There was a baby born in our family! Sweet Baby Jude! We love him so!!! Except for Maggie sometimes…. who gave him a thumbs down! Yikes! Somebody might not be ready for a little sister!

Hay Hay came home to visit, and meet baby Jude!! The kids were in heaven for a little while! And Kylee decided to ride her new bike home in the dark in the rain sprinkling rain one night! Crazy Girl!

And now I'm tired! :) On to October!
