Pumpkin patch

This past sunday we got to go to Maxwells Pumpkin Farm. It was a blast, there are still quite a few things Simon is not big enough for but the things he could do he really enjoyed. Since we went at the end of their season most of the pumpkins were picke over so we had to stop at united on the way back to get some goos carving pumpkins. After we got the pumpkins we headed to the Nickens's home for dinner, carving pumpkins, and SMORES yummy! It was a great evening and defentially something we will have to do again int the future.

Short Update

Life as always has been crazy and time is just speeding by me these days. I don't have much time to get this in but hopefully after this weekend I will have a chance for  a proper update. Simon and I began going to stroller strides and we love it! It is a great chance to get out and meet new mom's and other babies and for this mommie to get in a little workout. Most of my time though over the last few weeks has been devoted to getting things ready for a baby shower I am hosting at my house this saturday. For my type A personality this means lots of lists and things that have to get done. I am down to the wire so I got up early this morning to get a jump on things before the little man wakes up. So hopefully next week I will sit down and write a great update with lots of pics from the baby shower, stroller strides, and our little trip to the pumpkin farm the we plan to take on Sunday. Until then...

FOOTBALL!!!!!

Anyone who know us knows how much we look foreward to college football season. It truly is one of my most favorite times of year (although that seems to be changing as Simon grows and discovers new things that we get to do as a family). Our season tickets came in at the first of August this year and I think I was more excited about it that Saul was, time to start planning tailgates! Being the hostess that I am I really enjoy throwing great tailgates for all our friends to enjoy, and of course Saul thinks I plan way to much and should just relax about the whole thing, oh well what can I say that type A person I am shines in all its glory any time I get to plan a party.
This is the first season that we have had to pay to park but it has turned out to be a pretty good deal. There are only a few other people in our lot who tailgate and none of them get into it as much as we do. We have a great space to hang out before the game and since we are directly accross from the student union bldg. we have clean bathrooms!!!!! I don't know about anyone else but I think the bathroom situation was worth the money to park! Also our walk to the stadium is much shorter this year which is a plus. So far we have had a great tailgating season even though our team hasen't done their best. Here are a few pics of our first few tailgates.

This is how you do it...

Learning the art of PONG!

Dad doing his thing

"so son what you want to do is..."

Made it to the game, he only lasted about 5 min before he was done and wanted down.

Masked Rider!

So far we have had a great start to the season and there should be many great memories to be had.
