The Pumpkin Package

Last week we went to the Pumpkin Patch. Tage called it the Pumpkin Package! Unfortunately, the hay ride was only on the weekends, and it was supposed to raid so we went on a Thursday. Tage even asked if we were going to ride the tractor... she remembered it from last year!!! We still had fun though!

The cutest pumpkin of them all!

I don't know why Tage wore her helmet... she insisted. Good thing too!
She fell off of Kevin's shoulders while we were there.

Kevin and Mason with the pumpkin Tage picked!



We love the Pumpkin Patch! And as Tage would say... "the Pumpkin Package loves us too!"

I don't blog much

I Love This Boy

Skeeter Syndrome

Yes. It is a mesquito bite.
Yes. It got worse after this picture was taken...
swelled down to my ankle, and almost up to my knee, but not quite.
Yes. It gave me a limp.
Yes. It itched FREAKING CRAZY.
Yes. It hurt.
Yes. I now have a deep fear of those devilish insects.

More Chad and Shannon

More pictures from the wedding... check out those storm clouds! Chad and Shannon were lucky they caught a short break in the down pour and were able to get pictures in front of the temple!

This was the best photo of our little family... too bad Mason isn't looking!

Here is a better picture of our little smushie with Daddy

Chad and Shannon Wedding

Friday, July 31 Chad and Shannon got married in the Washington D.C. Temple! We are so lucky to have Shannon in our family now! She is the only one I know that can put a feather in her hair and not look like a loser! Enjoy the pictures! (Doesn't Tage look adorable along with her cousins??)

"The Turtle Is Sad"

WARNING.... THIS POST CONTAINS A GRAPHIC IMAGE. VIEWER DISGRESSION IS ADVISED.

Around the 4th of July, Pop Pop and Tage went on a walk by our house. Tage came back telling me that they saw a turtle and it was sad. I asked her why it was sad, and she sad "A truck squashed it! The turtle is sad Mommy!" A little bit later, Tage got her camera out and said she wanted to take a picture of the sad turtle... and so she did.

A few days ago, she went to visit the sad turtle again. This time, she came back saying "someone cleaned the sad turtle up"

photo by Tage (a 2 3/4 year old)

I would be sad too.

Sorry for the graphic picture!

Slow down for wild life!

p.s. a few months ago I was driving and saw a turtle in the road, so we stopped and Tage and I saved it by carrying it back to the side, and farther away from the road by some trees... we love turtles, incase you may have thought otherwise!
