Pumpkin Patch - TG Farms

 A few weeks ago, we took a little field trip to the Pumpkin Patch at TG Farms. We've always gone to Orr Family Farm in the past, but wanted to try somewhere new. The Bakers and Nana and Papa went with us. It was such a beautiful day and the kids had so much fun. We did a hay maze, petted baby animals, played on a huge slide and picked a pumpkin before leaving. The kids had a blast! Happy Fall!

My Baby - 20 month old Crew

I took this pic last night of my Crew Bear as he got out of the bath. I actually didn't mean to take it, I was trying to take a video. But later in the evening I found it and thought, OMG is that my big boy? He looks so much like a baby here! I love how a picture can capture something I didn't even see in person. Of course Crew will always be my baby, but this pic really puts that into perspective again. :) 

But here is the video I was meaning to take. Every night Crew wants this Lion Towel after baths and he has to "RAWR" at Daddy. He says it repeatedly until Eric "RAWRS" back! LOL

My Fearless Crew

Could someone please tell him that jumping off things taller than him give Mommy a heart attack? 

OU vs Notre Dame 2013

We're not big "away-game" travelers usually. We love the Sooners, but making it to all the home games has been problematic for us since we've had the boys. But about 4 years ago, we decided that if OU was playing Notre Dame, we were going. We made a 4-day trip out of the event, and flew into Chicago. We stayed on Michigan Ave at the Hilton Chicago, and on gameday we took a limo to the South Bend and back. 

Chicago reminds me of a greener NYC, and I absolutely loved the city. When we arrived Thursday, Eric and I did some sight-seeing on our own while the others went to Wrigley Field. Friday morning the guys got the opportunity to play Medinah Country club, which is where the Ryder Cup was held last year. They got to play the championship course, which they said was amazing. Meanwhile, the girls had a big shopping day on Michigan Ave. We barely made a dent in the number of stores available to us, but we enjoyed our day so much and had some quality girl time. 

Gameday morning we headed to South Bend, and walked around to see the campus. It was such a beautiful place, and the fans were awesome to us! Garrett dared Beaty to buy him a "BellDozer" jersey and he would wear it, but he didn't actually think Beaty would order it. They even changed out from "BellDozer" to "BellThrowzer" depending on how Blake threw in the touchdowns. It was a great day and a great win for the Sooners! 

Day out with Thomas Year 2

Last year we took Gavin to see Thomas and he loved it! So this year we thought we would take both kids to see Thomas and ride the train. We invited the Puryears along with us and all of us had a blast! 

1st Day of School 2013

I thought I posted this so long ago! The boys started another year at their Mother's Day Out school this September. They love to go and have some great friends, and I really really love their teachers!

A Week with the Fischers in Florida

We got to spend a week with the Fischer family in Navarre, FL this year! It's the first time all of us have been together in way too long, so the boys were very excited! We jam-packed the week with football watching, deep-sea fishing, swimming in the backyard, visiting a splashpad and playground, playing at the beach, golfing, going to the zoo, visiting the aquarium, and even taking a ride in Papa's 1951 Ford! I swear we tried relaxing but these kids aren't having any of it. Their lack of sleep didn't stop them either...they would wake up at 530 and go strong until at least 7:30 every night. It was so fun having all of the family together and the kids were pure entertainment! 

Here's our week in pics:

We put a blanket over the door so Crew could sleep but he figured us out! 

Passed out...

We had an amazing week and miss everyone so much. But it makes our time together so much sweeter! Thanks Nana and Papa for all you did for us in preparation and throughout the week. It was definitely above and beyond!
