Pumpkin Patch!

Hello friends and family! We have had a wonderful fall so far with lots of fun activities. Brad took a day off from work recently so we could all go to the pumpkin patch. It was so much fun!

They had a really cool petting zoo with baby ducks, llamas, horses, ponies, goats, and a gigantic surprise you'll see soon!

We bought a big bucket of food because Braeden was all about feeding the animals. I am glad we got alot!

Surprise! A GIGANTIC long horn! I wish you guys could have seen how long its tongue was. I was trying to get a good picture of it scooping food out of the bucket with its massive tongue but the pics dont do it justice.

We took a fun hayride over to this big slide they have. We were on the only ones on the hayride! Lots of advantages to going on a Monday instead of a Saturday!

The boys had fun sliding! Braeden especially enjoyed pushing Brad down it.

Braeden got a pony ride too! He had lots of fun.

And no trip to the pumpkin patch would be complete without going home with our very own pumpkins!

We had an awesome (and exhausting) day! Cant wait to do it again next year when baby girl is here :)

Love you all!

Day Out with Thomas

We took Braeden to a "Day Out with Thomas" as a family last week. Braeden earned a train ride on Thomas too! He was so excited! This event is great; train tables, bounce house, temporary tattoos, food. We had a wonderful family day!

Cuddling on the train!

New Bed

In preparation of new baby sister, Braeden needed to give up his crib/toddler bed. So now he has a new "big boy" twin bed! He doesn't look happy in any of these pictures because he wasn't thrilled with getting a new bed...we told him starting a few months ago that when he got a new bed, Kiki (aka, thumb sucking blanket) was leaving. So, he knew when he saw this new bed Kiki was gone :-/ We have a had a rough week so far. He isn't sleeping well. But it seems to be getting better each day and I think the thumb sucking is getting less and less at night!!

He looks so small in his big bed!

Daddy and son had a fun bonding experience building a fire truck at Lowe's recently! This was the first build-and-grow we have done with Braeden that he really enjoyed and was patient enough for us to finish :-)

Sweet daddy hugs:

I have a new fire truck!

Family Night at the zoo

We had an awesome night recently when the zoo hosted a Family Night! It's so rare we get to go to the zoo all together so we jumped at the chance 2 Fridays ago. Bonus: all the rides were free! Braeden is always asking to ride the train and we got to!

TRAIN RIDE!

Crazy eyes on the carousel:

We sure loved having daddy there :-)

22 weeks!

Hey there! I am 22 weeks along now and I am feeling great! Besides my allergies that cannot be stopped I feel wonderful :-) Loving the second trimester!

These are pictures of me before I headed to my weekly Dance Blast class I teach. That is going well, though I am not enjoying the time of day I am having to teach :-/ Just getting through it! 6 weeks left! Stay tuned for several posts on what we have been up to lately!
