Pumpkin patch

Last Friday we went to the pumpkin patch. It was our 5th annual trip to McGarrah's patch. It's really a fun tradition that we do every yr. the kids love finding their pumpkins and cutting them off the vine. Judy has come with us a time or two. She was able to make it up this year. It was a lot of fun to have her here to join in the fun! The weather was perfect. It was cloudy at first but then the sun came out. It was a cool crisp day so it actually felt like fall! 

Family

Yesterday my brother and his family came to visit from Houston. It was really good to see them. They have been all around the state visiting family the past week. We only had one night with them but enjoyed every minute of it! We ended our visit with a trip to Ricks. Who comes to Fayetteville and doesn't visit Ricks. Ha!

I got to love on my sweet niece. She is growing up so fast!!!





Ian is only 7 months older than Chanie Kate. He's so much taller!!!


Showing CK how to be a truck driver!


Early morning cartoons.

UNO

Faith has been sick all week so we have tried to find some low key indoor things to do when she feels good enough to do something besides lay on the couch. She has become quite the UNO player. She proves to be a feisty card player.

The 4th

We went to our neighbors house the night of the 4th and had dessert and shot fireworks. This was the 2nd year that all the kids had assembled at one house for the 4th. Everyone had a great time. Ian ended up getting burned on the arm by a fallen ember from a mortar. Poor guy was laying on the ground and he rolled over on too of it. He was quite the trooper though and didn't let it ruin his night or ours.:) 

Construction fashion show

This past weekend Faith and I went to Little Rock for Becca's baby shower and to have a "girls weekend". On Thursday at dinner Lee was talking about having a guys weekend and doing "man" things like bikes rides, playing outside, getting sweaty, and eatin' pizza everyday. You get the point..... Peyton jumped in with excitement and enthusiastically shouted, "Yeah, and have a FASHION SHOW!" Lee's response was, " yes, even more of a reason to have a "guys" weekend". You never know what you're gonna get with P. He always keeps us on your toes!

When I got home Sunday P had not forgotten about the fashion show. He put on quite the fashion show, MCing in his construction attire. Maybe construction apparel is the next big trend.

4th of July-before

A couple days before the 4th we went to Mount Comfort Church of Christ fireworks show. We have gone the past few years. They always put on a good show and the traffic is minimal. I took the older kids and Lee stayed home with Ian. We met our friends their and watched them together. The kids are not fans of loud noises so they each wore a pair of Lee's ear protection. They looked so cute!

Fun times with friends!

Father's Day a few days early

We celebrated Father's Day a few days early this year. I am traveling to Florida for a wedding this weekend so I won't be home on Father's Day, or at least until late Sunday night. Tuesday we
Celebrated with one his favorite dinners and dessert!


I did the typical daddy questionaire with Faith and Peyton. Several of their answers were quite comical. Others were very heart felt and sweet. I'm hoping to do it every year for the next several years and then put them in a book.

Faith picked out a water bottle that she remembered several weeks ago Lee had mentioned he wanted. We went into the store to get it and she knew EXACTLY how to get to the aisle and where it was. She has an amazing memory!
We also gave daddy a gift cert. for a massage.

I am so thankful for a daddy and husband that loves our family so much! Life is so much better with dad in it!


DAD FRUIT PIZZA!!!
