Happy Halloween!

We hope everyone has a spooky Halloween. Weather permiting we will be taking Sydney trick or treating tonight for the first time. We are only planning on going to a few houses but enough for her to have some fun. Stay safe and happy haunting.

Happy Birthday Doug

Happy Birthday Doug, we hope you had a great birthday and are able to go home to visit your family.

Happy Birthday Shana and Aiden

Enjoy your birthday celebration and hopefully we will get the oportunity to visit with you guys again soon.

Happy Birthday!!!

On Sunday morning it cleared up enough for us to finally go to the pumpkin patch. We had never been to this farm before but we will definitely go back. It was a lot of fun and of course very muddy. Sydney got to play on tractors, hay, go on a cow train ride, ride a pony named Patty, play pumpkin mini golf, see some animals, and of course pick out pumpkins. There was a lot more to do then I expected and it was only $5 to get in so I think it was worth it. Most of the proceeds went to St. Jude too so that was an added bonus.

I even begged Nate to let me get her face painted and then she decided she didn't want to so the lady painted a pumpkin on my cheek instead. It was a good couple of hours and next year if she is up to it we will tackle the corn maze. We decided against it this year due to all of the mud.

Marris Farms was awesome but I don't know if anything can compare to Dewberry Farms or the little pumpkin patch at the church in Houston.

Alton Brown Book Signing

Most of you know Nathan and I watch a lot of Food Network and love Alton Brown from Good Eats. On Friday night he was doing a book signing in our area so we jumped at the chance to go. He spoke and answered questions for about an hour and then we waited two hours to get him to sign our book. It was worth waiting, but we were glad that we didn't have Syd with us because she wouldn't have been a happy camper (thanks again Mom for watching her for us). Here are a few pictures...

The three of us... Some lady brought this and it he offered her $1000 for it, but we don't know if she sold it or not.

Older Pictures

It has been a while so I thought I would just start off by posting a few pictures of Syd that are a little older. Everyday I tell Nate "I can't believe how big she has gotten". Time has just flown by too fast. Syd is the only other toddler we are around so of course we miss all of her other friends from down South.
