thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving Day at my Mom and Dad's house!  My whole family was there and it was wonderful!  We aren't all together very often anymore, so it was a special time.  We played a bunch of games, had some good conversation, and ate a lot of really good food.  I hardly took any photos that day unfortunately, but here are a few instagrams I took.

My sisters...all of us are currently in our 30's.  It will only be like that for about 8 months...since Amy is turning the big 40 in May!

Playing Pitch!  Later that night we played with 8 people...it got a little nuts.

Eva wasn't sure about Dad and Mom's dog!  haha!

We attempted to get a quick family photo...Cruz had just woken up and Eva was being super wiggly!  :)

So very thankful for this family.  I couldn't ask for more..my heart is full!

skinny bones.

I absolutely love this time of year.  September and October are probably my most favorite months of the whole year. I love fall.  One thing that I always love to do is visit a pumpkin patch or two.  This year we went with my family!  We went to a little one this year, and it was great!  The kids loved it.

My niece by the tilted house...such a funny feeling!

The "mad cow" ride.  The kids loved it!

(And Sara did too:)

My little girl.

Oops...where did Eva go?

We had a lot of fun in the corn maze!  It was huge! 

Grandma and Eva

She does this all the time...and usually has two fistfuls of hair. :)

So happy to be the mom of these two.

This was a huge hit with the boys...so much fun!

On the hayrack ride!

what a little stud.

We went over to my sister's afterwards for dinner...

and celebrated my Mom's birthday with banana boats in the bonfire and pumpkin cake!

may...yes, may.

 Helping Mommy bake! 

I was just about to post some pics of June and July on here and then noticed that I never posted my random May pics.  So I thought I better post them real quick. :)  It seriously feels like May was just last month.  And it is now August 10th.  Good grief. 

Planting his black beans in his little planter box he made at Lowe's with daddy.

 

 He loves to give his sister "loves"

 Trying out the play mat.

 Daddy's shoes, Daddy's belt, monkey underwear, cowboy hat...just the average outfit for a 3 year old.

 Helping Daddy get ready for his first sermon!

 Secrets already?

 My Grandpa came by for a visit with my parents one day.  I love this photo.

 Saturday mornings.

 I did this a lot in the afternoons when I wanted to get a few things done, but still wanted her close. :)

 She napped like this all the time...

 I absolutely love these pics of Cruz listening to his radio.  He got ahold of Daddy's headphones and was just listening to his music.  The best part was when he would start to sing along...

 Helping Mommy make these quesadillas. Yummy.

 My sweet girl.

Love.
