"Punkin Match" ...take one

We tried to hit up a few local pumpkin patches (or "punkin match" as Cate calls them) over the weekend, (because we just didn't feel like driving an hour out to Sweetberry, BUT you can bet we will next year!!) and we didn't have much luck. They were pretty picked over, being it was the last weekend of October. But that was ok, since Cate really wanted nothing to do with the big pumpkins...

Dada, let's get out of here...

but wait, look at these fun little scarecrows...

Scarecrows are WAY more fun than pumpkins...

aren't they?

Good news is Dada had to go through Round Rock on his way to a meeting yesterday, and he found the jackpot of a "punkin match", so we met him there in the afternoon!! They had some of the biggest pumpkins I have ever seen...Dada saved the day! Punkin match, take two=)

Crowe's Nest Farm

This past weekend we ventured out to Crowe's Nest Farm. We hadn't been but heard good things about it, so decided to check it out...

 Cate would not look at me in ANY of these pictures...I mean, why would a two year old stand still and smile at the camera?!?

 Rahhhhh!

 checking out the gourds...

looking up...

 sticking out her tongue...

 Hi donkey!

 There were lots of hawks and owls...

 This was a much better way to view the farm...

 One of the animals she actually liked...

 We ended the tour of the farm with a hayride to see the bison, and ostriches...

 and Cate was hiding from them...

Good morning!

Just telling her baby sibling good morning...

Cheers to Seven Years!!!

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful hubby. 

Cheers to SEVEN years and a lifetime more!

We had a little anniversary date night this past weekend at Eddie V's...

SO delish, and we got free dessert! 

Happy Anniversary indeed!

Fall Festival 2012

Cate's Preschool had their little fall festival this past weekend. After getting over the initial shock of all the people and all the hoopla of what was going on at her school, she had a great time, and her favorite game was fishing!

 I see you!

 Pumpkin pickin'

 Fishing...

 She got to "milk" a cow.

 Love on daddy

 Rode a pony, but she was a little unsure of it...

 Made a "thankful tree." She is thankful for family and all her animals she sleeps with at night=)

 Jojo came to visit!

 We took a hayride to the pumpkin patch

 picked out a pumpkin

 and took it back to decorate

 Cate fished some more...

 and played with Wyatt and Paisley...

Such a sweet, fun filled fall day!
