GOBBLE GOBBLE!

So, did ya'll gobble 'till ya wobbled?!

I hope everyone had a wonderful turkey day!

We really enjoyed ourselves. My mom always out does herself with all the fixin's. We went to my grandparents house that was an hour away for the day. My grandmother is having some health issues, so it was much easier for us to all come to her this year. I took some photos of Miss Natalie throughout the day, but it was actually a lot easier to just whip the flipcam out and video her.

She is a quick lil' thing nowadays! Much easier to just film her sometimes.

 

Enjoy the pictures & please check out the video at the end as well. The video is clips throughout the day & at the end is me gearing up for some black friday madness & also I show you all the goodies I picked up!

We had a great 4 day weekend in all. Natalie even got to help us pick out our Christmas tree at the tree farm. Ok, she slept during the actual cutting of the tree but she was there in her dreams :)

I am in the process of editing those pics/video now.

Silly Kids!

OH MY PUMPKIN!

Oh Pumpkin Patch, Oh Pumpkin Patch, thy colors are so unchanging...

 

Well, the day had finally come & we were up & at 'em super early to get going. I know Natalie had no clue where we were going, & Andy Pants probably wasn't quite as excited as I was.

 I think I held enough excitement for all three of us.

 

I couldn't wait to see Natalie's face when she saw all of the pumpkins we were going to let her run around. I was so proud of us getting out the door on time, picking up Auntie Kelly, & getting there just as they were opening. Not only was the weather PERFECT, but we had the whole place practically to ourselves. Which meant awesome photo ops for us!

I am no professional photographer but I LOVE taking photos.

 I hope you enjoy looking at these, as much as I did taking them...

 

 

I was in pumpkin HEAVEN!

 If you haven't already read it (here) , then you wouldn't know

what a PUMPKIN head I really am!  

 

 

We set her down & she was off!! Finally someone was as excited as I was!

 

 

 

It's like Where's Waldo of the Pumpkin Patch. She blends in perfectly!

 

 

 

Me & My Boo!

 

 

I love that she is starting to not try & put everything she picks up in her mouth.

HAAAY girl you're getting dirty!

 

Pumpkin Heads!

 

 

 

Yup Girl Drivers!

 

 

 Now the FUN was really about to start.

They had this thing called the Jumping Pillow!

Kelly & I had so much fun on this thing. (As you can see in the pics below)

I want one for Christmas Andy Pants..K?! Thanks!

 

 

THEN IT WAS MOMMA'S TURN!!!

 

 

HIGH FIVE TO THE FACE!

 

 

Andy Pants had to drag us off of this thing so we could do the corn maze & all the other boring stuff..hehehe We really could have jumped all dang day!

 

 

Andy Pants & Natalie conquering HAY MOUNTAIN!

 

CORN MAZE!!

KELLY WAS OUR GUIDE!

Auntie Kelly took too long to get us out, so Nat took a Nap!

 

After the corn maze, we all pretty much needed a nap. It really was a dream come true getting to take my sweet pun'kin head to the pumpkin patch. I loved seeing her light up running around everywhere. I will never forget these moments with her. I am getting all excited just thinking about the years to come & all the different memories we will make as she gets older.

 

This past weekend was jammed pack full of FUN events.

We actually participated in a ZOMBIE WALK on Sunday with friends. I have some fun pics & a great little video to go along with that I will post soon!

(I may save it for Halloweenie...MUhahahha)

 

stay tuned!

I may have a problem...

 

Ok I will admit it...I am addicted to anything PUMPKIN!

 

This time of year always puts a pep in my step. I don't know if it's the cooler weather, the halloween candy galore in the stores, or all the pumpkin flavored crap goodies I can get my hands on!

 

OH YEAH! & my own little pumpkin was born this month as well!

 

 (grumpy pumpkin girl)

 

Sooo here is just a little evidence of the problem I "may" have.

(I type this as my pumpkin candle smells up our living room)

 

 

 

I mean really?! I may turn into a pumpkin. I wish I had more time in the day to try more pumpkin recipes. Right now my quick go to ones are pumpkin muffins & the

OHHH SO delicious PUMPKIN ROLL.

You may have to roll my my butt off this couch after I eat all these muffins.

 

I plan on making my pumpkin roll this weekend, after we visit the pumpkin patch first of course!! My pumpkin sized head may explode when we get there!! SO. EXCITED.

 

Do you have a go to pumpkin recipe I MUST try?!

I NEED THEM!!

(don't worry you won't be an enabler)

 

 

 I have to include this last ridiculous picture of me & my VERY PREGGO self!

Natalie's OPA still thinks this is the reason she was born a red-head. The orange paint must have gotten to her! hehe

 

I can't wait to tell you all about our Pumpkin Patch trip!

Natalie Momma is going to have so much fun!
