Pumpkin Patch

We took our kids and their cousin, Paige, to the Pumpkin Patch while Paige's Mom and Dad went to the temple last weekend.  It was an extremely overcast day and a little cool.  The kids had lots of fun playing and enjoyed the hayride.  They weren't too fond of the corn maze though.  It didn't help that we got lost in the 5 acre corn maze.  Despite that, we were only in the maze for 40 minutes, that's not too bad considering they told us that there are 2.5 miles worth of trails through the maze.

They all loved the hay bale maze.

Bryce really got a kick out of riding and/or pushing these.

Hayride.  They all decided the needed to hold Ken's hands.

Hey, they even got to ride a cow.  =D

My little model!

Don't ask me what's up with Paige's face.  All the pictures from this were funny.

They loved playing in the dried corn.

Jeremiah

We ordered the marker for Jeremiah and it was placed in September.  It took me a couple weeks to get up there, but it is beautiful.  I still have a hard time sometimes, even though its been over a year.  There are times when I see the children of the women I was pregnant with and can't help but think that I am missing my baby boy hitting all those milestones.  However, I know that he is up in heaven with my sister and his cousin doing what they can to help our Heavenly Father.  And I know that we will be with him again.  I still feel Jeremiah close to me when I'm feeling a little low and that helps to bring my spirits up.  I look forward to that far-off day when I will be reunited with him.

Bryce's Birthday

We celebrated Bryce's birthday on his actual birthday.  Novel idea, I know.  His birthday happened to be on a Saturday.  We just hung out and had fun with all of our extended family.  Bryce had a blast and enjoyed everything he received from his awesome aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents, and of course, his parents and sister.  Unfortunately, the cake pictures accidentally got deleted and the camera was being stupid and most of the rest are blurry.

School starts

School started for both kids.  YAY!  Isabella is in first grade and Bryce is in preschool.  Bryce goes every morning for 2 1/2 hours.  Its been nice to go grocery shopping with no kids.  (Sorry about the pictures, I'd forgotten to charge the camera, so they were taken on my phone.)
