Fall for the boy...

Yesterday J's aunt took Grandma, J, The  boyand I out to the pumpkin patch. At first I wasn't sure I really wanted to hop back into the car, to tell the truth, I feel as though I could never go on a road trip again and be fine. I am sure that feeling will fade with time, but I am over it for the time being.

That being said, I am really glad we went. We took the scenic route, and it was really nice. I had never been that way and it was nice to see some off the beaten paths in our grand old state.



Messing with my setting since I don't know what I am doing.



Apple Annie's pumpkin patch was our destination. This is lesser Apple Annie's, I think the one further on up was the main Apple Annie's. This is my logic on this one, I didn't see an apple tree where we were. The corn maze was pretty impressive. We didn't have time to go through and it cost $7 to get lost in it. Really Apple Annie's?

The boy loved it. His favorite? I am glad you asked.


This machine type thing. He was enthralled.

His auntie decided she would let him pick out a pumpkin, he liked that too.

He picked one out that was just his size. And today I had the pleasant surprise of hearing him say "unkin" He can say pumpkin. What a boy I have.





Another thing we found to be The boy's favorite. Dilly Beans. They are fresh green beans which have been pickled. They were really good. The boy loved them! I think he would've eaten the whole jar. Weird. kid.
It was a really beautiful night and a really fun time. Thanks Aunt Debbie! We had a blast!


The boy also had a lot of fun with the rocks. Which is good, because our new place is basically built on rocks. Mud pies and rocks for us! Yup, we are moving out on our own. Our very own double wide on dirt. We are renting it, but I am still really excited. It will be like Christmas when I get to crack open all those boxes of my stuff. I won't miss the stairs, but we will miss Grandma. Hopefully people will still come to visit us. They really should, I will have babies that need holding soon.

Until Next time.

Halfway home...

Seriously guys, I am already huge and I am technically only half done. Of course, I figure I am more than half done, because I probably won't go all the way to 40 weeks, but yeah....

Insane right?

The boy and I have had some bumpy days. He is starting to run and his little legs get going a little faster than the rest of him.
He is talking more, It's hard to say what his first word was, but we have some vocab going.

If he spits on you raspberry style Phhhhlt! That means Up. He is actually starting to have it sound more like up now, but I have to memorialize the spit.
Sheeeth = teeth and means he wants to brush his teeth.
Dada, Daddy, Dad, = Dad
cheesh = cheese
shooosh = Shoes
anket = blanket
Shesus = Jesus
eeeesh = please

He also uses hand gestures to tell us which song he wants to sing.
A waving finger = 3 monkeys swining in a tree
Hands rubbed together = slippery fish
Hands up in the air fingers waving = Twinkle Twinkle
points at picture of temple = I love to see the temple
Picture of President Monson = Follow the prophet

I like him lots. Even with a bruised noggin.
