The Great Pumpkin Patch

It is that time of year again... a time for our annual visit to the pumpkin patch. Ty and I loved "The Great Pumpkin Patch" in Arthur, IL last year when we took Payton, so we decided we would return again this fall. It was a cool, fall day on Sunday so we dressed in long sleeves, pants, and jackets as we set out to see the 200 acres of land that this pumpkin patch sits on. Payton had an awesome time looking at all the animals, running through the sunflower maze, and gathering her own pumpkins. We even stopped by the Sweet Shoppe and Bakery to try some pumkin sandwiches, pumpkin bars, and pumpkin sweet rolls. Yum! We are definitely looking forward to next year's visit.

A Time for Leaves

Payton enjoyed playing in the leaf piles that Grandpa raked up. She invited her girlfriends from across the street to come and play with her. They had an enjoyable time on a cool fall day!

1st Haircut

Payton visited the salon on September 29th for her very first haircut. YES, this haircut was way overdue, but we finally found some time to get it done! She really didn't know what to think at first, but ended up enjoying the experience. She kept trying to take the scissors and the water bottle away from the stylist, but she managed nonetheless. When Payton finished up, she got to pick out a new hair accessory from the bin. She chose a purple headband. Mommy and daddy love it!


Babysitting



Uncle Kevin came over to babysit two weeks ago while Ty and I went to a wedding. When we came home at 9:15, this is what we saw. Don't they look adorable! Though I am not sure who is supposed to be watching who..???
