Pumpkin Patch 2012

A couple of weekends ago we went to the pumpkin patch. I know I am not very good at this blogging stuff and I always say that but it still stands true. I just don’t take enough pictures nor can I think of anything to say half the time.

Anyway, back to the pumpkin patch. Korbyn is so fun right now I just know this fall/holiday season is going to be SO much fun. He is running around and talking like CRAZY. He repeats everything we say! At first we he called the pumpkins “balls” but then he learned the word and from then on they were “punkins.”

Can you tell he is so strong? LOL. He at least thought he was.

He really is pretty strong. He pushed the wagon around with multiple pumpkins in it the whole time we were there. Poor kid was so hot and sweaty but he would not stop.

I just can’t believe how big this girl is getting. She is loving first grade and is doing a really good job. We have our first parent/teacher conference of the year this Thursday so we shall see how she is really doing! HA.

I do believe I may be in trouble once she gets interested in boys and they get interested in her. Oh I am not ready for those days. I was so boy crazy. I hope she is smarter than me in that area….

Korbyn was really not interested in taking a picture with his daddy…go figure.

How Korbyn really felt about the hay ride. He really was not impressed.

Petting zoo! The kids loved this part and feeding the animals. We did this last and it was so hard to get them to leave.

We had so much fun. This is the second year we have gone to this specific pumpkin patch and we love love it so much. They are so nice there and there is so much for the kids to do. They even have pig races but we missed them. Next to come will be carving our pumpkin!

Family…

Family comes in many forms. Immediate family, friends, and then recently I have learned about a new family. They are called an online family such as “the blog world” and Twitter. The women on here have rallied around one woman, Julee Turner, this week after she lost her husband in a car accident Saturday night. It has been an amazing process for me to watch, inspiring to say the least.

I don’t know Julee nor have I ever really read her blog. However, I know I cannot even imagine going through what she is. She has lost her husband and is now a single mother to a 10 month old baby girl, Preslee. My heart just aches for her and their family.

That being said this week I want to donate 100% of my commissions from my 31 sales to the Preslee Turner College Fund.

I really want people to focus on these: 173529391863109820_wvUgyHvb_c

They will make the perfect Trick-OR-Treat bags for Halloween. I will close the party Sunday at 4:00pm so they should be to you in plenty of time for Halloween. Of course if you want to order something different I will still donate the commission from it as well.

You can go here, then click on my parties and you will see one that says Julee Turner Fundraiser, to order yours today.
