My little Pumpkin

This is our third year at the Pumpkin Patch.  This patch is less than 2 miles from our house, and we just love it!  The first year we went Kaden was only 8 months old.  The second year, he was 20 months, and then this year, a little over two and a half!  I can't believe we have already been going for three years with Kaden.  This year, the drought has really taken a toll on the Pumpkin Patch.  You can see in all the pictures the scorched pastures.  We desperately need rain here! But, they still have the cutest opportunity for pictures there.  And, Kaden was in LOVE!!!







































We had a TON of fun at the Pumpkin Patch!  I am so thankful for my family this fall.

Driving, Wood Floors, and Circus!

I spent the majority of my summer on the road this summer with work.  I have not added up the total miles I drove, but if I did, which I refuse, it would be a BIG number.  I drove to San Angelo, TX and back all alone (6 hours each way)  BORING!  I drove to Bastrop, TX and back all alone for a conference for a week.  I drove to Arlington, TX all alone for a week for a conference.  I drove to Lubbock, Texas and back with 7 high school students for a week.  I drove to San Marcos, TX and back all alone for a welding workshop.  Has anyone ever heard the song, I drove all night...by Celine Dion!  Ha....   Key word of my summer, I DROVE!  I can't even remember the other locations now, I know there were more.  And, I wonder why I started the new school year exhausted and happy to just be at home.  I literally did not unpack my travel bags until 2 weeks into the new school year.  I was packed up and on the go all summer! 
Kaden attended the state FFA convention with me and my seven students.  It was fun!  The kids LOVE Kaden and Kaden LOVES the kids.  Works out GREAT!  I couldn't stand leaving him for another week by the time convention rolled around.  I needed my Kaden with me.
Kaden had no problem visiting the exhibits at State Convention.  He LOVED the tractors!

He may have napped through a general session or two of the convention...

We got to experience Palo Dura Canyon in Canyon, TX!


Kaden was the best kid at convention!!!  I am so happy I brought him.
Little Mister is a big helper these days.  He is helping us rip up vinyl flooring here.

Bye!  Bye!  White carpet!  FINALLY!  I thought the day would never come!

Hello cherry wood floors!  :)

This little boy is in LOVE with the circus.  This following picture is of Kaden walking the 'tight rope'.  These are the rolls of carpet from our house.  :)


This is him being a STRONG MAN!!! 

He is so STRONG!!!!
