Pumpkin Patch and more

Hay ride to the pumpkin patch and

searching for the perfect pumpkin. We had a fun day at Schaake's Pumpkin patch, Amy and I went a couple years ago with friends, the girls were out of school so we all were able to go this year.

It was easier finding Melissa at this home game (pictures from 9/30) she is by the girl in pink playing the flute with the flag right behind her.
In this one she is at the end by the girl in pink.

Break in the 3rd quarter

Paint Coop class and Turner Days

All the kids looked like this when the class was over.








(The pictures are crazy out of order)
It's that time again, Homecoming game was Friday night Turner beat Piper 10-8. It was a beautiful fall night now jackets needed. Amy fell asleep in the 3rd quarter. Saturday morning we started our day at the Turner Day Parade, Melissa was marching with the Marching Band and Jaime rode on the school float. After the parade we headed down to Steinger field to pick up Jaime and Melissa and take in all the festivities. Amy bounced in the bounce house and played some games, we ate lots of junk and food, cotton candy, snow cones, hot dogs, burritos, tacos and another snow cone. Jaime tried a fried oreo. We talked to friends saw people we haven't seen in awhile and watched a little mud volleyball. It was time to go I had an unhappy 5 yr old laying on the ground wailing.

Jim spent the day in Manhattan with Kaitlyn. Kappa Delta had Dad's day, they tailgated and attended the football game. He told me I needed to attend a game before Kaitlyn graduates it was quite the experience.

Family Day at K-State and Jaime's B-day

We stop at the Bug Museum and what a lucky day for us!! Salsa with meal worms....yum
Stir fried crickets.....not pictured chocolate covered crickets and fried meal worms. Jaime thought they all were pretty tasty......
Amy with a bug face.
Cockroach races, glad these things are not in my house.



It was good to see Kaitlyn, she is in her second year at K-State. We ended the day celebrating her 20th birthday at Smashburgers before heading home.

Celebrating Jaime's 11th birthday at Grandma and Grandpa's house/
Jaime with her Rose Hair Tarantula, see how happy she is....

I can't believe how fast she has grown up.

Amy's first soccer game

Amy had a lot of fun playing soccer for the first time, well she probably had more fun talking, skipping and boy chasing.

Secret Sister Swap

Thank you Secret Sister!

First home game and summer catch-up

Melissa's first home game marching in the band, she plays the flute and is in the back somewhere. I've spent quite a few nights working KC Sporting games so we can go to Washington,DC in May of 2012.

Summer Catch-up



Amy at the pool.


Jim put the girls to work painting the front porch with Restore, it has helped cut down on the slick floor when it rains.





We participated in an attempt to make the longest ice cream sundae at the Turner Rec Center and the KCKPL. A hot but fun day, you couldn't tell by that face.


Eco Elvis at the wrap up for summer reading.

Winter in August and Secret Sister Swap

With all the craziness of August, I still had three swaps I had to do, all swap were mailed late. (Boo me)!


First up are these fall ornies I made for the swap on Prim Pals forum.

Than I received this wonderful "Winter in August" Swap package from Ginny.

I realized I left out one of the ornaments when I took the picture. Look at all these snowmen, thanks Ginny.


I received my secret sister swap in the mail today. Look at these wonderful goodies.
Thank you, Secret sister!!
