It's not Halloween/Fall without Schnepf Farms!

Of course, as always, I insisted on doing Schnepf Farms this year. It just isn't fall without going to a pumpkin patch! Grammy took the day off of work to come out so, we braved the heat and went for it. Unfortunately with the kids' nap times, we had no other choice than to go in the middle of the day. Here in Arizona, a midday in mid-October is nothing nice. I can recall being a bit cranky due to the heat, but Grammy is always the positive one so she pulled me out of my slump. It was a fun day with rides, food, shows and a pony ride on "Princess" that started it all off. It was definitely a wonderful memory for me of a day with my mom. I don't get nearly enough of those!  :)

Playdate with Rhea-Roo

Rhea-Roo... Quincy's BFF from Preschool! Rhea came over for a playdate so I had to get a pic of them eating lunch. They play together so well and have so much fun. Unfortunately, the will not be going to the same kindergarten :( but, on the upside I've become good friends with Rhea's mom so we still see each other lots!

Who hit the jackpot you ask?

Quincy did, of course! We went to Amazing Jakes with Grandma Wood and Quincy left a Big Winner! It was the cutest thing although I'm pretty sure Marshal was more excited than she was. I think she won something like 500 tickets. They just kept spewing out of the machine. It was a pretty darn exciting moment I have to admit and I'll take some credit. I think I was the one to suggest the game ;) Ha ha.

Aside from the winning moment, it was a fun day for sure!

Halloween decorating

I love the holidays, and love to decorate, but it took everything in me to pull out the decorations for the holidays this year. We managed to pull out what little we have for Halloween and set it up in the front yard... in the heat. With babies in their bumbos, Quincy and I stretched out the spider webs and arranged our hodge-podge of pumpkins.

Welcome Baby Jacoby

A new camera and a new baby make a good combo! I am so overwhelmed at this point in my life but this is one thing I can check off my list! Yay! I just want to share that Marshal surprised me with a brand-spankin' new camera and in my first "official" chance to use it, I was able to take pics of Missy and Jon's new baby, Jacoby. We didn't have much time and I had to "rig" a setting in my house but I think we got some pretty precious moments. Thanks Missy & Jon for letting me photograph you guys. Jacoby is a beauty! And all that hair? For real?! Oh, and thanks hun, for the bomb new camera too! Ha!
