Hunkin Patch Round Two

So we hit another pumpkin patch today with my parents and sister. It was a cold and somewhat rainy day, but we loved in none-the-less. There were mini-horses to pet, and we saw cows and pigs, and got to feed the ducks. And, of course, we got to pick another hunkin to take home with us.

The Crew for the day, minus Gran, who was our photographer today.

Feeding the ducks, which was probably his favorite part, other than the pumpkins.

Me and Jenn, having a nice, loving moment.

This is my favorite from the day. After us constantly stopping Landon and telling him to take a picture, he decided to stop us for a picture. We were all about 3 steps ahead, and he called us all to stop and take a picture with him. Oh and that face, I am in love with it.

After the pumpkins, we decided to go to a little restaurant in Castle Rock for some lunch. The place we went to served Italian AND Mexican foods, and, oddly enough, we all got Italian dishes and they were all excellent. Landon was winding down and starting to get tired, but that doesn't stop him from being a little ham...

Jenn would complain to Landon that she was just soooo cold and ask him to warm her up, so this was how he would warm her up.

Then he decided to warm us both up.

Haha love that faceeee!

And then, he asked to take a picture with "the girls"

What a little crack up!

So now, I think we have taken care of our pumpkin duties for the year, and we are sufficiently ready for Halloween!

Hunkin Patch!

Our (not so) little Landon is SOOO excited for Halloween this year. He has decided he is going to be "the black one" which means Spider-man in the black suit, and not Venom. There is a difference. If you're at all familiar with Spider-man comics and such, or have seen the movie Spider-man 3, you'll know what I'm talking about. And we have now convinced Daddy to be Venom, and Mommy gets to be Spider-man in the red and blue suit. We are so excited! 

We decided to go to the pumpkin festival at the Botanic Gardens at Chatfield this year, and it was so worth it! Even though we got rained on and it was windy and cold, we had a blast! There were soooo many pumpkins, or as Landon says, hunkins. The patch was huge, and they were gorgeous pumpkins. We went with Bubbe and Tay Tay, and Auntie Syd and her kiddos. Landon and Lola have gotten so close and have become such good friends, I love it!

These two are growing up so fast, it makes me sad!

 My Boys!

 My Lovely Little Family!

 Seriously, Best Friends. :)

They always remind you to stop n smell the roses, don't they?

We went to another pumpkin patch today with my parents and my sister, but I don't have those pictures yet. But when I do, they'll be here!

Almost One Year Later.

What a busy year we have had!

Landon Turned Two!

And...
We (Finally) Got Married!

And...

We Went to Disneyland!

August 2012

And so much in between!

I lost my job in April, so I guess there's really no excuse for not blogging, but I am just so terrible at remembering to do this, obviously. But, in my defense, with all of the wedding stuff this summer, and the busy life of having a two-year-old, things were just hectic. And to top it off, my computer crashed in May! Luckily, we have a good friend who was able to save all of my pictures and put them on my external hard drive. Unfortunately, they are all a big huge jumble of files, and I now have the extremely overwhelming task of organizing them and trying to make some sort of order. I don't think I'll be done with that task for at least a year!

Nate is doing great in school these days, and is doing amazingly at work. Hoping for a promotion here in the next few months, because if anyone deserves it, its him! We are so lucky to have such an awesome dad and husband who works so hard for us. I really don't know what I would do without him!

And Landon. Well, he's Landon. He is SO full of energy these days, and just as funny as ever. He loves anything with super heroes, especially Spider-man. I find myself becoming an expert on everything Marvel. He is also almost potty-trained! Yay! Finally. We started trying before we went to Disneyland, and he was so close to getting it! Then we went on vacation for a week, and I wasn't really trying to teach him to potty at Disneyland with all of that excitement. So we had a setback there. But today was his first day accident free and in big boy undies! We are so proud of our little boy, he is growing so quickly and he never ceases to amaze us!

And that's the quick and simple update on us! Hopefully I will be able to continue to update somewhat regularly. But I know I've said that a few times now and it just doesn't seem to be happening. But, it won't hurt to try!
