It's been a long time....Pumpkin Patch 2013

Wow!  I can't believe it's been a year since my last post.  Blogging helps me keep my pictures organized and to preserve some of these memories, so I'm going to do my best to catch up and stay more current with my blog.

We made our annual visit to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday with the Murrays.  The weather was perfect, and we had a great time.  We hopped on the hayride and our first stop was the tree house. 

Then we walked to the lake to watch some people fishing and headed over to the games.

 

 

 

 

Then we took a few pictures with the pumpkins.

 

Pumpkin Patch 2012

We visited a local Christmas Tree farm/turned Pumpkin Patch on Saturday.  We started off on a hayride around the property, which dropped us off at this large tree house.  The kids climbed straight to the top! 



Looking out at all of the Christmas trees

Yay!  They're both smiling!

There were many things to do on the property.  They had tee pees to play in, bikes to ride, and duck races.

She was a little too short to reach the pedals on this one.



So was Cooper.

Then we picked our pumpkins.

Cooper was so excited to discover a "horsie"!

Love their faces!

Just a Few Photos

I had my camera out this weekend and got some cute and fun shots...

Aubrey with her new summer haircut

Love that crooked smile.  He has so many teeth poking through right now.  I know he'll be glad when they are all out.

2 things: 1) Whenever we are outside, he's always carrying around a golf club and 2) He is definitely trying to figure out how to get to the sprinkler across the street.

Hoola-hooping

Peek-a-boo!  Cooper loves to walk around and say Boo!  He can also say apple, car, ball, Auba (Aubrey), apple, hi, bye, dada, mama, Elmo, and he's close on banana!

At the playground

Look at those rosy cheeks - and it's not even summer yet!  He gets that red face from his momma!

Pre-School Graduation

Aubrey's school had a graduation ceremony on Friday.  She got a diploma for graduating Pre-School, but technically will be staying in the same class for Pre-K.  It was a cute program with lots of singing.

The Graduates

Hard to believe these girls have been together since they were babies -
Kate, Aubrey, Madi, Olivia

Aubrey's Dance Recital

Saturday night was Aubrey's second dance recital.  She did great and had so much fun with her friends.  During the day she kept saying to me "Can you believe it's finally here?"  It was long night like last year, but the 5 minutes of dancing that Aubrey did made it all worth it.
