Jer is 35!



Happy Birthday Today, to my awesome, most wonderful hubby! He turns the big 3-5 today! The 2 older kiddos stayed the night with their cousins last night, and me and jer went out with some friends and hung out. Then jer finally rolled outta bed about 10:00, and we are just hangin out, relaxin' and takin it easy today! Just what Jer requested for his big day! :) Then later, we're gonna meet up with my family for dinner and some cookie cake. :) Sounds like a pretty durn good Saturday to me! Hope yours is great! :)

Baby Girl's first taste of cereal

Another "first" for Baby Girl is written down in the books! She had her first taste of rice cereal Sunday night, October 17th. She made a 'ew yucky' face at first, and it all just came back out. After a few attempts, she finally got a few bites down. I still don't think she was that crazy about it though. I mixed it with formula, and I don't think she likes the formula very much.


Of course I had some big helpers, helping me feed her......


I love this pic below.....gotta love those big brown eyes :)



She had more fun holding on to the spoon and chewing on it than actually eating :-)



More Halloween fun pics to come soon...... :-) Have I mentioned that I just love this time of year?

my favorite time of the year

Ssshhh....don't tell spring, but my favorite time of the year is upon us - fall! :) I love me some cooler temps, jeans and hoodies, candles, birthday celebrations, and all things pumpkin and apple! This past weekend we visited a pumpkin farm. Although it wasn't so much a "pumpkin farm" as an over-priced bouncer and mini theme park. The kids however, had an absolute blast.

We met my parents and my sister and her family over at my parents house before we went. So I took some photos out by my dads bales of hay. They always decorate their house (inside and out) so cute for the fall. I love it :)





After we got there, we took some photos, and let the kids run amuck :)

They had several huge bouncers and jumper things. The kids loved them. This was probably their favorite though. An inflateable rock wall. All of the kids went up this thing multiple times. And they all managed to reach the top.
Below- Bubby, almost to the top



And he made it!



Below- Sis trying it out - she did this several times too, and made it to the top, didn't get a pic of that though



They also had a 'train' that the kids liked riding in


Sis had to get her face painted. Take a good look.....this here is a $9 face painting job!



Sis, Bubbs and Baby Girl with their cousins




And they had tons of animals - which the kids were none too interested in. They had a llama, baby monkey, pig, zebra, huge turtle, donkey, billy goats and some other stuff. Sis finally did feed some of them, but none of the others cared a lick about them. They were too busy bouncing, sliding and climbing! Here's is Jer's hand, in comparison to the huge turtle...


Feeding a llama....

That was our Saturday in a nutshell. Ah, the beginning of all things 'fall'. I love it :)
