hayrides, pumpkins and pig ears.

as children, CJ and i had never been to pumpkin patch that either of us can recall. it was a no brainer that we wanted vegas to experience this.

when i refer to a pumpkin patch i most certainly do not mean this.

i'm sorry, but unless you live in downtown NYC there is no excuse for this. why not just go to walmart like everyone else to get your pumpkin, and not waste your money on this "pumpkin patch" experience.

after some much appreciated referrals we headed to carrigan farms for a hayride and a real pumpkin patch! it was a first for all of us! the weather was absolutely gorgeous, 75 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. the actual pumpkin patch was huge, a lot bigger than i pictured. we definitely had our choice, there were literally hundreds and hundreds to choose from in all shapes, sizes and colors. they were so fresh we had to rip them off of the vine they were growing on. they even had a mini petting zoo which just put the icing on the cake. enough with the blah blah blah, here comes picture overload.

i live for the weekends i can spend with my little family. <3.

i'm baaaaaaaaack.

whew!

what a crazy two week transition it has been! going from a full time stay at home mom, to a full time - baby missing - working mom. man i miss her while i am gone, but it it slowly getting easier by the day. i live to see her cutie face when i beg cj to send me like five pictures a day of her. going back to work has been a blessing for my entire family! it could not have came at a better time.

i cherish the few hours we have in the evening together while cj is at work. she makes me complete and not being able to physically see her at my desire makes me appreciate those special hours that much more.

who would have thought just a mere two years ago this is how we would want to spend our saturday evenings? with a bald little lady, in a swing in a park, watching run-a-way ice cream man flee for his life!

just look at those dangling feet.



it seems that every time i want to video her, we dont have the video camera. sorry for the crap quality.
