Pumpkin Patches

Last month we went to a couple different farms in Colorado. I love living so close to the pumpkin patches they are great for Joshua to run around and play in. The first pumpkin patch/pick your own farm was great, it was only a 15 minute drive from our house. My friends from Laramie drove down to visit it and invited us along. It was great to see them again. Joshua loved the animals, the hay ride and best of all picking your own produce. We got carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, and pumpkins. The prices were GREAT, we will definitely be going back for more.








Will doesn't like the feel of the grass on his feet



The second farm we went to was fun as well. They had a corn maze, hay maze, pumpkins, petting zoo, trike ride, playground, cornbox to play in and much more. Joshua LOVED playing here and Will enjoyed sleeping in the stroller with the breeze on this face. I am so glad my friend from Laramie invited us to meet them there.

A few birthday crafts

My nieces birthday was last month and her brother's birthday was yesterday so I had a lot of fun in September making gifts for them.

For my Nephew's gift I made a car roll, like the one I made Joshua last year at Christmas time. I had fun with the D on the front and making it match the John Deer fabric on the front of the roll up.







For my Niece's gift I made a little dolly quilt. This is my first quilt that I quilted myself and made the binding myself. I enjoyed it so much I made a quilt for Will as well! I love the green and pink and the cupcake!

The pond park

After collecting rocks we headed to the pond park. Joshua loves to throw the rocks and and watch the splash. Will loves to watch his brother be crazy as Joshua throws the rocks in the water all sorts of different ways. I am really looking forward to Will being able to walk so we can enjoy the parks more. He hates grass, concrete and sand on his feet or hands so the park is not much fun for him. Enjoy the pictures!

A day outside

We have a lot of nice days in Fort Collins and I try to take advantage of them. Will loves playing with the water table we bought the boys this spring. He does a great job standing up to play with the water. I think he mostly likes to drink it, good thing I use fresh water each time. Joshua loves to ride his bike in our little neighborhood cul-de-sacs and Will loves to watch him from the stroller. Joshua enjoys picking up the rocks he finds on the sidewalk along the way to add to his collection at home, then we take them all and throw them in the pond. He loves that too!

Our anniversary and my birthday!

This weekend was very busy, Saturday was our anniversary!! Michael and I have been married 6 years now!! We went out to dinner, just the two of us, on Friday night. Michael's family in Cheyenne watched the boys for us. Then Saturday we went garage saleing (didn't find much of anything), Then Michael took me to a jeweler so I could get some of my stones (from my Grandma's rings) put into a pendant. I am looking forward to getting that back in a couple of weeks. That afternoon we just relaxed and enjoyed some cheeseburgers and boca burgers. Sunday I was allowed to sleep in!!! Then I went to church, Joshua wasn't feeling that great so he stayed home with Michael. I was able to enjoy a wonderful worship service and sermon. Joshua and Michael dropped by the church later because I locked my keys in my car... Oops!

After church and lunch we went to a swimming party for our church Sunday school class. We brought a birthday cake to share with everyone, it was very yummy and the FIRST cake Michael has bought me on my birthday!

I had a wonderful day and am very blessed to have such a wonderful family!!




My yummy cake with all of my candles on it!!
