It's the Great Pumpkin

We decided to take the kids to the Pumpkin Patch, a tradition we started last year while Jayla was in my tummy! We had a great time. We were joined by my Aunt Michelle, my co-worker Amy and her boyfriend, and our friends Mike, Lisa, and their two boys Zander and Zennen.

We ended up with 2 VERY large pumpkins and 2 baby pumpkins. Ty, Zander, Lisa and I went on a hay ride. It was so much fun and a pleasantly warm day.

Ms. Jayla

This is my favorite picture of Jayla. Jayla will be 8 months old on the 20th and I cannot believe how fast she is growing. She is LOVING solid foods, playing trucks with her brother, and has even started sleeping until 5am. She brings so much joy to our family!

Jesus is my homeboy

Ty has been attending a Christian daycare since May. He LOVES it. Mrs. McDonald is super patient, kind, and loving. Ty has also been learning so much about how to be a good person and productive part of school and our home.

He likes to say prayer at dinner time every night. If I forget, he promptly reminds me! So the other night, we sit down for dinner, cross our hands, and bow our heads. Ty begins his prayer "Dear Gangsta Jesus, thank you for this food that will nourish our bodies". I almost fell out of my chair.

I guess that would make Jesus the Original OG!!! Watch out Ice T, Jesus is our homeboy!

Our "Mini" Vacation

I needed to be in Spokane for a work conference, so I decided to bring the kids and my sister along for a "mini" vacation. We enjoyed swimming in the pool at the hotel, eating out, playing at the wagon wheel park, and just spending time together!

The start of a beautiful relationship......

You've always been a part of me
right from the very start,
creating treasured memories
I've cherished in my heart.
You're such a wonderful part of my life
because of the thoughtful things you do
that I want you to know how grateful I am
to have a sister as special as you.

Jayla's 1st friend

Jayla's friend is Lizzy. She is 9 months old. Jayla was very interested in Lizzy because she could clap and sit up on her own. We are looking forward to the girls being friends for years to come!
