Kids at the Patch

October 21, 2009, Wednesday - Today Nathan's preschool went to visit the Pumpkin Patch. We had a lot of fun. It is a beautiful day today so when Brittany got home from school we went back to the patch so she could help pick out the family pumpkin. Enjoy the picture!

Daytona Beach Secraw

October 15, 2009, Thursday - Today was a very tough & sad day. We made the very hard decision to have our 13 1/2 year old dachshund, Tona, put to sleep. She injured a neck bone back in July & just didn't have a good quality of life now. We have had her since we were married. We know she is in a better place now & not in pain. We love and miss you, Tona! Our life is not the same.

Pumpkin Patch

October 13, 2009, Tuesday - Today Nathan and I headed to the Pumpkin Patch, our annual tradition. We met other MOPS moms & kids and heard a Fall Story, had a tractor hay ride and got to run through the pumpkin patch. Nathan had so much fun. He woke up early this morning because "I want to go the the pumpkin patch". He was really excited about getting to pick out a pumpkin. He picked out the smallest one he could find. And I mean small. It is smaller than his palm. We hope to go back with Brittany & pick out the family pumpkin.

Soccer Game

Saturday, October 10, 2009 - Nathan did great at his soccer game today. He scored 2 of the 4 goals for the team. Nathan really loves soccer and we enjoy watching him play. He is competitive like his daddy.Nathan throwing the ball in.

Lemonade for Sale

September 26, 2009, Saturday - We had a yard sale this morning and Brittany and Nathan had a Lemonade Stand. Brittany was so excited. She has wanted to have one all summer long. Friday we put little signs on people's doors telling them about it. She created her own sign for the table and even wore a Lemonade Stand hat. Only .25 a cup and Popsicles too!
