October

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!
