The Pumpkin Patch

Brennan's Preschool got to go to a pumpkin patch on Friday. We had a great time and the weather was perfect. We were able to feed some fish in the pond, and watch the ducks play, we were also able to go through the pumpkin patch and then go for a hayride.

You'll notice the difference in my children when I take pics of them. Brennan loves to have his picture taken and will even pose and say something "cheesy", while Peyton, depending on her mood, or whatever she determines to be a factor, may or may not even look at you let alone smile. I guess we know who is in charge!

Father's Night!





Brennan's preschool had a Father's Night last night. Brennan was so excited to take his dad to his own special Father's Night. The theme was Hunting, so they were asked to wear camouflage or a hunting or fishing vest, so Brennan got on his camo and took his dad to school. It was a great time, according to both Ryan an Brennan. They had snacks, cookies and capri sun, and sang songs that they had been practicing for weeks. Brennan told me it was the "Five little ducks go out to play," song and "A Hunting we will go..." The few pictures Ryan took for some reason turned out very dark or very blurry, I chose the best of them to post. Just know that they both had a great time and brought home a cute book that they made together. The book is about hunting an elephant and then letting it go again.

Angel's Game







Ryan and I finally got away for a very, very short overnight vacation. We were able to fly to Orange County on Friday, Sept. 26th and attend an Angel's Game. You might be thinking "why on earth would they fly to an Angel's Game?" Well, besides the fact that the Angels had already won the division and home field advantage, the pictures I am posting should answer some of those questions for you. My grandpa has had Angel's season tix since the stadium was built in 1966. The seats, to say the least, are spectacular. You can't get any better than these. We sit four rows up just a few yards to the left of home plate, to the left of us is the dugout. Most of the seats in front of us are owned by the Angels. They used to be Gene Autry's seats until he passed away. Ryan, our sports fanatic in the fam, has never been available to go to a game and sit in grandpa's seats so we were very excited that he called us and asked if we wanted to come and go to a game. The game was a snoozer (Angels lost 12 to 1), but the atmosphere and experience are always awesome. We had a great time at the game and were able to have breakfast with the my Aunt Kath and her daughters Lauren and Lindsay and cute little Avery(Lauren's daughter), and grandpa the next morning. Thanks grandpa for the tickets and letting us stay with you. It was a great time, just wish it could have been longer.


Linds was our chauffeur/tour guide/hostess, etc....for the short time we were there, Thanks Linds for everything!! We were cruisin' in style in Lindsay's brand new Lexus. I forgot to take a picture of it, but it is beautiful.
