Fall Camping Trip 2009

We went camping last weekend, Halloween night, with some good friends. We absolutely froze our buns off at night, but it was a lot of fun. Now I will say the kids were warm and cozy, but Joey and I...not so good. We only got about one hour of sleep that night. Yes, we did have a heater, but our tent has ventilation at the top so the heat was escaping. Brother and sister were cozy in their respective beds and never knew their parents had hypothermia! We are thinking about making this a yearly tradition if we can get a better heater.

Judah man is under that blanket with only his head peeping through. It was downright chilly.

All of us with Ergo's and and the babies. Joey with Libby, Me with Judah, Wendy with Jaika, and Ashlyn with Audrey. We went on a 3 mile hike with ALL the kids...needless to say, we almost called our chiropractor when we got home!!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

This weekend our family went to a local pumpkin patch. This was our first one to go to and it was so much fun!! We got to ride on a tractor pulled hayride, feed the goats from our hand (which wasn't new to me since I grew up with goats), but all the kids thought it was great. We all picked our very own pumpkin from the patch, which now decorates our porch. They even had fun places to take pictures with your family.

It was so hard to get the kids to look the same way. We decided just to go ahead and snap the picture anyway.
