Pumpkin Patch

Brandon, Brad, Liz and I went to our annual pumpkin patch the other day, only this year Kendall was here to join the fun with us. We try and go each year, take pictures, pick out pumpkins and come back to our house to carve and have pizza. I had brought my camera will full intentions to take a lot of pictures...until the dreaded moment: "Honey, your batteries are dead!" Oh great, I said to myself - but thank goodness - Liz had hers!

Can you find Kendall? :)

These are the famous pumpkin carvers!

The finished products:

We are so glad they got to come visit and we hope to see them again soon!

6 months

Well, my little peanut turned 6 months old last week. After being sick for a week before her 1/2 birthday, she got 5 shots. Let me go back to the week before...I get a call at work from Kendall's daycare saying that I need to come get her because she had 3 diarrhea's that day. (and can't go back for 24 hours.) So I stay home with her on Wednesday and go back to work on Thursday. Come Thursday morning, she had fever. It kept getting higher and higher and higher. There is no way that I could take off work on Friday, so my mom kept her and then took her to the doctor that morning. They said it was just viral and that we had to let it "run it's course and give her motrin." Ha...obvisouly they forgot that I was a first time mom and knew nothing else to do but panic when her fever got to 104.2. Yes, you read it right, 104.2. I took it about 4 times because I just knew I was doing something wrong. I put off calling my mom and kept telling myself "you can do this Stacy!" That lasted about 5 minutes. Being the wonderful mother that I have, she jumped up out of bed and came over to my house at about 5 o'clock in the morning. Needless to say, things got back to normal by Monday and she was able to go to school. Oh - did I forget to mention - Brandon was out of town this whole time for opening weekend of BOW SEASON?!?!

Anyways, Brandon and I took her to the doctor on Thursday of last week for her 6 month well check. The doctor said that everything looks great! She weighed in at 11lbs 13.5oz and a whoppin' 25 inches long! Then came the 5 shots. I didn't think her daddy was going to make it through all of them. As soon as the nurse was done and put her pink camo band-aids on her little legs, her daddy scooped her and up just squeezed her! He wouldn't even put her down to put her back in the carseat. (Can we say - wrapped around his finger?) :) As we were making our appt for her 9 month visit, Brandon was quick to inform me that he was not coming appts where she was getting shots anymore. Little does he know...he is! I love you babe!

All is good now and we thank God each and every day for our little baby girl!
