Three days before Scott left, we took the boys and Jackson's girlfriend Ryan, to the pumpkin patch in Moriarty.
 |
Ryan did as she was told... |
 |
Preston didn't get to ride the cow train last year so he was extra-excited...So excited that he would NOT sit down, so he did not get to ride this year either. |
 |
I LOVE this picture! |
 |
Preston would not cooperate for pictures. |
 |
Again, Preston was just not having it with the pictures. Ryan is being such a good girl and smiling so pretty though! |
 |
The rule is: You can have whatever you can carry. Ryan did NOT want to carry her pumpkin, but she pushed through! |
 |
Jackson really liked this big pumpkin that he picked out (and carried) all by himself! |
 |
Preston followed the rules as well. He picked his pumpkin and carried it like his brother. |
 |
Taking a break from carrying pumpkins. |
 |
Preston LOVED the roasted corn. |
 |
That baby will eat anything. |
 |
Did I mention that he really liked the corn? |
 |
All of our pumpkins. And that is WITHOUT Ryan's! Rules are rules, right? |
The Friday before, we celebrated my birthday with friends at the club since Scott left on the 26th. I turned 29 on the 27th! Eek! Here's to having the best year yet of my 20s. Since I'm sticking here, I'm thinking that won't be too hard to accomplish.
 |
Susan - Ryan's mom - made this cake. I absolutely LOVED it! |
 |
It was yummy, too! I will be enlisting her for help for the boys' future birthday cakes. Between Janet, my mom, me and her, I think we will be cake crazy! |
Earlier in the month, we headed to Wichita Falls to have a Mills family dinner. I think everyone was there! The boys had a great time playing with their cousins and I had a great time playing with mine! And my sisters, of course!
 |
My little big sis, April and my (18 year-old!!!) niece Tanna! |
 |
Cousins Chelsee & Amy! |
Any time we visit Texas, it makes me really homesick. I miss my family and my friends!
