Donuts and Pumpkins

We had a good Saturday despite having to miss all the birthday parties because we have a snotty kid.  Here it was our anniversary and we had no plans so we did some searching and decided to head to the pumpkin patch.  We met some animals including a goat, a pig and a baby calf.  Then we ate the most fantastic, wonderful, amazing donut I've ever tasted.  Apple cider donuts hot out of the fryer.

We took a hayride to find our pumpkins in the pumpkin patch. They had stations to make fresh apple cider or shoot an apple slingshot, roast hotdogs in a fire pit and more. What fun!  We all definitely got a little dirty and one of us crashed before we were out of the parking lot!  The weather was perfect.  I can't wait to go back to this place at Christmas to pick out our tree!

Our pumpkin find!

It turned out to be a great memory for our family and a tradition I'm sure we'll continue. It also turned out to be a pretty good anniversary, just the three of us.

The Nut House

This weekend we took Baby J to a Kids Gym for the first time.  She literally ran around like a chicken with its head cut off.  Her favorite was the trampoline and the foam pit.  She just wanted to stay in there all day... well when she wasn't standing on the edge and jumping in.  Yes my 1 year old will stand on a ledge and jump a 4 foot drop into foam.  The other moms stood there and shockingly asked "She has no fear does she?"  Nope.  We're toast.

We've been having dance parties every night.  Apparently the dance parties run into the day time from what our nanny says.  She loves to sing and dance... and she obviously has my vocal abilities. Poor kid.

Her dad and I decided to put on a dance show while she was having her snack Sunday night.  Yeah we're a little nutz.

Black and White

I wanted to do some black and white photos from the weekend.  This is my collage!  I just love getting back to old school pictures.

Weekend at the Lake

We rented a house at Lake Roosevelt for 4 nights.  It was heaven.  Lots of wildlife, in fact we saw frogs (Jessy caught one), chipmunks, lots of deer, birds, bunnies and even vulchers!  I had never seen one in the wild before and TWO hung out on the tree behind the house.

We drove up to Spokane on Friday and went to Pig Out in the Park (and boy did we) where Jessy got to taste strawberry ice cream for the first time!  We Uncle Kevin and Daddy built a lot of sandcastles.... well some of us were obviously more into than others....

Lots of good food, family time and fun.

Bachelorette Weekend

I went to a Bachelorette Party on Saturday in Leavenworth. They wanted to do a scavenger hunt of sorts so I made these little Bride Bingo Cards.  It was a hoot watching these ladies mark off their cards... it made for some pretty funny pictures.

It was good having some girl time also.  Three of us have babies and this was our first time away from them. It's nice to compare notes and find out you're doing okay!

I can't wait for the wedding in a month.  Baby J is going to be the flower girl.  Let's just hope she isn't being a daddy's girl that day since he's officiating the wedding.  We may have some interesting stories to tell!

We also had Football to watch on Friday night and since our team was playing Chicago I had some deep dish pizza's shipped in!  It was DELICIOUS... and of course we won.
