Aiden, the Pumpkin Patch, and Our Evening Carving!


Wow! What a fun time the fall is! I know I have said it before, but I just think its the best of all seasons. In fall you have lots of colorful leaves, nice weather, pumpkins, mums, and pumpkin carving...Oh and Halloween too! Best of all this fall I have an energy filled almost 16 month old little boy to enjoy all of these wonderful things with. To be honest, he still prefers to play in the rocks, or mulch....but he will bring me a few fallen leaves here and there.


On this past Saturday we took Aiden to the Ring Farm pumpkin patch. We were lucky enought that we were able to share this day with Nana, Papa, Gavin (Aiden's fav), and Molly...oh umm not to mention me and Josh (we were a givin right?) Aiden had a blast, but I think it was Gavin that loved sliding on the Homemade slide at Ring Farm the most! Seriously at on point I think he went up and down the slide for 20 minutes straight!


Once Nana showed Aiden the little pumpkins (you know the munchkin ones?!) He didn't really want much to do with any others hehe! They were just his size and he could pick them up easily. I'm pretty sure that he picked out and put back the pumpkins the entire time we were picking out the pumpkins to carve!


Within the next few days we jumped into our pumpkin carving! That was a TON of fun, and even more family joined us for that...in addition that night were Granny and Papa Cornwall, Aunt Heather, and Uncle Kyle! Add in everyone from the pumpkin patch and we had a house full of love! It was so much fun, and I think the kiddos really enjoyed themselves! Did I mention we lured everyone over with chili and hot dogs? Yumm!






Our finished products!!! The first two are Gavin's and the little one on the end is Aiden's!



Here are a few more pics from the weekend of pumpkin fun! Enjoy!!!

I'm not Lion, I'm Gonna Be a Big Brother!


I am officially 14 weeks 5 days pregnant! I know many or most of you already know, but this time around, we didn't do any kind of official announcement other than to family! So here it is!
Due Date: April 16,2009


We are so excited to expand our family, and even more so to see Aiden as a big brother! He is really going to be great! He has a baby doll that he loves and hugs and kisses, he even puts it on his shoulder and "burps" it. He really is a sweet boy! I ask him all the time if this next baby is going to be as sweet as he is, and he always says "NO!" haha! I hope its at least almost as sweet!


This baby will be my parents 2nd grandchild, and Josh's parent's 8th! It will be loved more than I can possibly say between us, a big brother, all the grandparents, aunts and uncles, and so many of our wonderful friends!


I will come back with another official announcement November 17 whether this is a baby boy or baby girl! What do you think?

Aiden and Cooper!
