Great Papa Charlie's Birthday

After getting the clear from the Dr. last Wednesday we were thankful to be able to spend the day with our Grandpa for his birthday. Corey had to work an early shift, so Kyleah and I headed over and Corey was to meet up with us a few hours later. Kyleah was privileged enough to spend the entire day with several grandparents including; Grandma Debbie, Great Grandma Bev, Great Grandma Bonnie, and Great Papa Charlie. Gma Bev had prepared veggie soup with ham and cheese sandwiches, plus we had birthday cake and peach cobbler as well! Hmm! We could smell the soup cooking all morning, so we were all hungry by 10 o'clock! lol Gma Bev turned on some music and Kyleah danced to Elvis (she must get the love for Elvis from Gma Debbie!). We all sat down and enjoyed our...brunch? and peach cobbler, we all were so full. Gma Bev and Gma Bonnie wanted to play a game and started playing Farkle. Of course, Kyleah saw a wooden box full of dice and marbles and joined in on the fun. I was shocked to find out Kyleah wasn't trying to eat the marbles, but instead kissing the dice for good luck! When she's old enough I'm taking her to Vegas...I think she may be on to something! Surprisingly, Kyleah sat on Gma Bev's lap for a couple of hours playing Farkle, without a fuss! During so, Jady arrived after she got off work, then a little bit later Corey got there. They ate lunch and we all got to have birthday cake and ice cream. Of course with all the family around, Kyleah had alot of icing from the cake! Usually after eating at Gma Bev's Corey and I take a nap in the recliner, but I stayed awake this time and Corey got his nap in. I couldn't believe how much Kyleah walked all over Gma's house! She's getting big so fast! I'm glad she's able to spend this time with her grandparents, she'll cherish these times later on in life, like I do!

Pumpkin Patch

We can finally say we made it to the pumpkin patch this year! We've been having such cold cloudy days, we didn't think we were going to go. At last a day came and the sun was out and the temp. reached 70! We figured we may as well take advantage of the weather and go get some pumpkins! Plus this year Kyleah could take off and get out some energy. We started out by visiting The Three Little Pigs, and by then I already knew every animal we would see was going to be Theo! Kyleah got to ride in a wagon, and immediately had a smile from ear to ear. She then saw more "Theo's" (goats this time) and wanted out, we walked up to the fence and she just stood and looked. I don't think she was quite sure of the "Theo's" and wouldn't pet any, but sure did give them an ear full of jibber jabber. We cruised along through all the other animals and had to stop at the straw maze. Kyleah took daddy through it and I think she knew her way better than he did. With it only being about a foot tall, she quickly met me at the end waiting. There was a pretty garden with a bridge and stream we walked through, and Kyleah tried to take me into the trees (the scenic route). We then headed through the sunflower maze and into the actual patch to pick out our own pumpkins. We found it hard to find a "perfect pumpkin" out there. We walked almost all the way down and all the pumpkins were either gross on one side or totally oozing their insides. Corey saw that there were trailers full of pumpkins back towards the front, so we headed that way. It was so cute to see Kyleah up next to the huge pumpkin that weighed hundreds and hundreds of pounds, she looked so little. I figured it would take Ky forever to find her pumpkin and she would probably have to touch a hundred before picking one up. Little did I know, it was actually Corey that couldn't find his pumpkin! For some reason we feel like we have to get pumpkins that resemble our family (the biggest one being Corey, medium one me, and a small one for Ky). I hope we aren't the only family that does that! So, I found myself first, Corey had to wait for himself to be unloaded off of a trailer, and Ky quickly found hers. She must have had her eye on which one she wanted, she walked right up to it and attempted to pick it up but kept dropping it. We got Ky settled into the wagon, along with our pumpkin family, and were on our way to pay. We only got to spend a few hours there, but with me being sick, I couldn't hang in there too long. All that matters is we got to spend time together as a family and we had a great time doing so!
