Visiting Grandma

This is one of the last times we got to visit with my Grandma. She was barely able to talk to us but she knew we were there and it was great to be able to see her a few more times. Makayla knows how to butter people up. Here she is with my Grandpa. She would go up to him every time we were there and say 'please' and give him her puppy eyes asking for a treat, and he would never say no to her, no matter how many she already had. He is a famous Grandpa for always handing out gummy bears to all the grandkids when they would come over.

My Aunt was staying at my Grandparents house with her little boy who is about Aiden's age and she brought his Gator with. It was a great idea. I don't think that Gator was ever parked. She had 2 batteries and one was always on the charger.

All the boys having a ride. Jacob, my brother, is driving. JW, my cousin, is in the pasenger seat and sitting next to Aiden is Alex, my cousin's son. It is really fun for Aiden when we get together with the family because it is so big and there is always someone for him to play with. All 4 of these boys are really close in age and all got along so well.

And Makayla is not going to be left out of the action. Once she got in the boys had to take turns driving her around because she was NOT getting out for anything.

Our Big Boy

Aiden is growing up. His attitude has changed drastically in the last 2 days as well. He all of a suddenly is so agreable when I ask him to do something. He usually argues with me about everything. Now he just says, 'Ok, I will'. And there I sit with my mouth open because I'm used to having to tell him over and over to do something before he will actually do it. I quess 4 is just around the corner and maybe things will turn around for us.

Aiden's pumpkin patch. He grew pumpkin in the garden this year and they actually grew really well! He is so excited about them, always going out to check them. Yeah, they are a little green still but we will just carve green pumpkins this year! Rocky in tow Aiden went out to show them off. That poor kitten gets dragged everywhere with him.

Aiden's giant pumpkin. He grew one really great pumpkin, it is huge and our only orange one. It isn't nice and round but he is so proud of it.

Poor Kayla

Poor Makayla is sick today. She has been running a fever all day and just not acting like her self. This is how she has been sitting all day, in her little baby seat watching movies. She just looks so pitiful. She even turned down a cookie! That is unreal for her. She hasn't thrown up or anything so that is good. Hopefully it is a 24 hour bug that will run it's course quickly.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch today and had so much fun. We met my mom there with Jake and a few of her day care kids. They all had such a great time. Aiden and Jake loved running through the box maze. I don't even know how many times they ran through it but boy did they love it.

Makayla loved looking through all the pumpkins.

Makayla's favorite part. . . bunnies! Who would have guessed that! She kept asking to go back to the bunnies the whole time.

Aiden feeding the chickens. That was one of their favorite parts. Over and over again, even though I didn't give them any money for it. They would twist it a bit and jiggle it a bit and some would come out and they were so happy.

Riding the wagon, another high light. Until I was asking my mom to take a picture and the wagon started to go and off goes my purse. I had to jump off and chase it down. A little embarassing but pretty funny. Every time we rode it after that Aiden checked with me to make sure I had it so it wouldn't fall off again.

Lets get going! ! I will admit we did ride the wagan a few times. After a while of being there my mom's little kids were ready to go and the boys weren't so I traded my mom Makayla for Jake and we stayed all afternoon. They loved it. They could go anywhere they wanted and I just followed them.

Smooth move! ! !

Yeah, spit that out!

Showing off their treats.

A Few More To Share

So I found a few more that I wanted to share. I've had so much time since Mike has been working so much. I've been having so much fun making them. Definatly helps pass the time. Giving me something to do that I enjoy and giving my kids memories for a lifetime.

A few more pages

KITTENS! ! !

We have had kittens for a while and we haven't been able to keep track of them because every time we do the momma kitty always moves them when we do. Tonight my little brother came over and him and Aiden went out in the dark and found them and caught them. They played with them forever in the cold. They didn't want to wear their coats because the kittens needed them. They were so funny.

Jacob so proud of his catch.

My favorite kitten! It is just so adorable! ! ! Whenever I have seen this one it is the meanest one. It always hisses at me, but Jacob caught it and when I went out to hold the kittens with them it was purring for him! He has the touch I guess. Hopefully we can get these kittens tamed. I think that there are 6 of them. Plus we have a few wild ones running around.

Little Mommy

Little Makayla has turned into a little mommy. She is always playing with dolls now. Yes, they are always naked. She never keeps their clothes on. I get in trouble from her all the when I go in her room. She tells me, 'SShhh! baby seeping.'

So sweet.

Makayla is so funny. She is always getting diapers out for her babies becuase they 'pooped'. She is such a sweet girl.
