Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch at Sweetberry Farms in Marble Falls again this year. This is the same one that we went to last year and really liked it. It's about an hour away but is a really pretty drive down a winding highway so it was fun to make an afternoon out of it. Hunter got to feed the goats, which he thought was pretty hilarious, see a fire truck up close and personal and get his face painted like a scarecrow!


I just love this sweet picture. Hunter put his arm around AJ while watching some horsey rides -

Happy Fall! (Even though it's still 90 degrees here! :) )

2 1/2!

Happy half birthday to Hunter! To celebrate today, we went to Chuck E. Cheese's for lunch and a little playtime. He had a great time and there were only a few people there which made it even better. :)

Here are a couple of pictures of him playing today:


This boy cracks me up every day. Sometimes he breaks out a new word that I've never heard him use before and it just makes me laugh (and realize how much he hears and processes!). For example, the other day while eating breakfast, he decided he didn't want his vitamin. He took it out of his mouth and said "I don't really like this. It's disgusting." I didn't even know he knew the word disgusting! He's also starting to create conversations between his toys, which is pretty funny to watch. He has a Buzz Lightyear and a Woody doll from "Toy Story" and he makes them talk to each other. He's definitely all boy - give him some sticks, rocks and dirt to play with and he's happy. On the other hand, he's very sweet and uses his manners very well. We certainly have some crazy times, but 6 months in to 2 years, I wouldn't call his twos "terrible" by any means! According to my measurements, he's about 36" tall and 30 lbs right now, and will be the first to tell you that he is far from a baby - he's a big boy!

Texas State Fair

We took a family roadtrip to Dallas this weekend. Hunter and I went to the Texas State Fair while AJ was at the Texas/OU football game, which is inside the fairgrounds. Hunter got to see a dog show, go to the petting zoo, see some livestock, listen to a storytime and rode some rides.

I definitely learned a few lessons regarding navigating a fair of this size for next time, but the most important thing is that Hunter had a good time. I had planned on trying to miss the majority of the crowd as much as I could, going in after the game started and leaving before it ended, which didn't really work out as I had planned, but it ended up being okay for us in the end because we were still there when AJ got out of the game so he could ride some rides with him. It didn't even cross my mind that I couldn't go on the little kiddie rides with him being pregnant, but they wouldn't even let me on the carousel so it all worked out well in the end. I had also planned on trying some crazy fried fair food but ended up only having a funnel cake. Better luck next year!

I forgot my real camera at home, so I only had my iPhone to take pictures, but still managed to get a few.
