Pumpkins

Pumpkin Express

Tired Girl!

He was so happy he found his pumpkin.

Over the weekend the kids, mom, Amanda, and myself went to the Post Family Farm. Its a nice farm about 20mins from home. Aaron searched the entire pumpkin patch for the biggest pumpkins. Thinking that he would give up on finding the biggest one he could find I wasn't to worried until he came across a pumpkin that was heavier than he was. He was so proud and I was worried that I was going to have to take a loan to buy pumpkins! Needless to say I didn't need a loan and he was so happy. Zoe rode the pony, played games, and had her face painted. Aaron played on the hay and on the zip cord. They both rode the pumpkin express several times. We bought pumpkin doughnuts and root beer. I love fall...Well until it snows...

Apple Farm

On Saturday Zoe, Madison, Grandma, Amanda L. and myself went to the Lewis Farm Market in New Era to get apples and spent a fun filled afternoon just the girls. We went through the petting zoo were they had bunnies, goats, little ponies, donkeys, cows, and lama's. Zoe jumped on the huge jumping pillow and in the giant pumpkin. Zoe and Madison rode in the mini-train in the orchard. We took the apple express into the apple orchard. It was so bumpy we were concerned that Amanda would go into labor. At some points it was so bumpy that Zoe was even getting scared. We bought apple donuts, apple cider, and chips and had a little picnic. It was a great afternoon.

School Bus

Even though we live like 2 seconds away from school I have decided to let Aaron ride the bus home from school. So instead of picking him up and bringing him to Nana's. I wait at the house for 10min and then bring him to Nana's. He has been wanting to ride the bus with all his friends, and I really need to start to let go. He had fun he says it was really cool. My buddy looks so little yet so big getting off the school bus.

Today's the day...

Zoe's first day of school

Today was Zoe's first day of pre-school. I know I have said it before but my babies are growing so fast. I got the kids up today and told her that she had to get ready for school. She was so excited. Happy that she could finally go to school and happy that daddy took the morning off to see her to first day of school. She ate some breakfast, brushed her teeth and hair, and got dressed. All by herself (well a little help). Then when we pulled up to school my little baby said "I am a big girl Mommy you don't have to bring me into class I can do it myself I don't need your help"

After school laughing with daddy

Crazy Bounce

Marc & Adam boys will be boys :)

We went to Crazy Bounce for Noah's birthday. We had a blast two hours of running & jumping really makes the kids & Marc tired. I am trying to cherish all these moments with the kids because next year when they leave for Virginia birthday's are not going to be the same.

Remembering.....

Fire Fighter Prayer

When I am called to duty, God

whenever flames may rage,

Give me the strength to save some life

Whatever be its age.
Help me to embrace a little child

Before it’s too late,

Or some older person

from the horror of that fate.
Enable me to be alert

And hear the weakest shout,

And quickly and efficiently to put the fire out.
I want to fill my calling

and give the best in me,

To guard my neighbor

And protect his property.
And if according to Your will

I have to lose my life,

Please bless with Your protecting hand

My children and my wife.

Lets remember those we lost, and not forget to

THANK

those who still fight for our lives.

Have you hugged your fireman today:)

I Have....

Much Love to you Marc

Back to School

Well its official summer is really over. Aaron started kindergarten this year. He didn't have a hard time at all leaving me or going to school. He went to Young Five's at Peach Plains last year. He is use to the school and the teachers. He has a few friends from class last year and a girl that was in his pre-school class with Ms. Eva at Central school in his new class. He is enjoying it. He really likes Mrs. Bauer and his new classroom. However, I on the other hand was a sobbing mommy. I know that they grown up but it seems like it has happened so fast. It seems like the last few months I have seen him changing, growing up. I have gone from laughing at the silly things he says to really laughing because he has a more grown up humor and he's just so darn funny! Really truly listening to what he is saying because he is really making sense now, its not the baby/toddler talk that he use to use. Then ya listen because he's your baby and he is just so darn special, ya just cherish the moments you have with him. Now he talks and carries on such a conversation with you. I'm not sure if any of this makes sense to all the readers out there. I guess I am just sad that my baby boy who I still feel like was just born is already in kindergarten, and I will probably just blink and he will be on his way to college :) Next week Zoe starts Pre-School. Ohhh, I am going to really be a mess!!
