Eat on up, boy!
I was looking through old photos deciding on what to document and found this cute pic of my sister. I really miss her! She is so funny and makes me super proud.
This weekend we were blessed to have Rick and Lori in from the other side of the mountains. We went to a fantastic pumpkin patch at Thompson Farm. They had a variety of things to do. As you can see above the first thing we did was find our very own special pumpkins.
Jaxson was a kid in the candy store for sure. He of course wanted to 100 lb, 1000 $ pumpkin. :D What kid wouldn't. This was my first experience with going to a farm like this but I cant wait to make it a tradition.
The day started out pretty dreary but in no time the sun was out and ready to say hello. Emmers was having a blast attempting to navagate the terrain. She spent most of the time falling down but never a tear. As you can see below her attempt to pick up the pumpkin ended in yet another fall. Oh, and I believe this is the point where we had to tell Jaxsie not to step on the pumpkins. I thought that was a given, but I have learned in my old age never to assume.
As you can see pop pop is looking fantastic. I am sure that we wore him out but he sure was a trooper. His favorite part of the day was watching the kids explore and pick out pumpkins. He especially got a kick out of emilees pumpkin shenanigans.
Nanna and I enjoyed the many wonderful photo oppertunities. I really enjoyed the special family time. I hope that my children will grow up feeling loved and remembering these times. The picture below is the perfect example of their love for one another. Emilee could follow Jaxson anywhere. She just loves her brother!
For 25 cents you could feed the chickens and turkeys. At first Jaxson was NOT interested. As we approached the chickens and he realised that they were behind the fence, he quickly changed his tune. Some days he really makes me chuckle. For being a big kids he certianly is scared of some pretty small things!
These animals had it good. You can tell they live the high life. The pic on the above right is some sort of contraption the goats were climbing on. Again, the high life I say!
I did wonder if the turkeys feet any sort of inpending doom?
She just loves her pop-pop!
Dear Jaxson! You are awesome!
Emilee you are a pearl!
