Big H turns 7!!!

I have learned throughout my life that there are some things that you ever only need to experience once, and you know to never do it again.....yeah, going to a corn maze with 6 young boys was my most recent experience.......

Big H turned 7 this month and wanted to have a party, so 20 days AFTER his birthday (was quick to remind me) we finally had a party with some of his friends. It was fun. We had a pinata, Henry let his friends go before him, he figured that by going last he would be the one that busts the pinata open.....well that plan didn't necessarily work as planned. Three of his friends went, each boy got to hit it twice. Then right before it was his turn, the poor little mummy fell to the ground and opened right up. He said that NEXT year he WILL be going first :) lol

After playing around outside for a while we loaded up all the little monsters and off to the Corn Maze we went!

We took a picture before in case anyone got lost while we were in there! haha

I found that boys don't really understand the term "don't run" very well

They each had a map and tried to figure out which way to go

Thank heavens for Derek and his Boy Scout map reading skills

Scarecrows, and ghosts, and scary guy under the stairs......OH MY!!

We reached a look out point, I asked the boys to point which direction they thought we should go....(notice the fingers pointing in all different directions?!?!) YIKES!!

What a pretty sunset!

OF COURSE!

We MADE it....we started the journey with 6 little boys, how many do you see??

Happy Birthday to me

This year was apparently a "Momentous Birthday" according to Big H. Because I was turning 29 on the 29th and that only happens "once in a lifetime ya know" haha I will admit with Big H turning 7 and me facing the age of 29 I was feeling kind of old. So after some heavy, persistent convincing from Julie and Derek, I went and got my hair cut (5 1/2 inches) and colored by one of Ju's good friend! THAT was a fun day! Girls only NO kids!! I must say I LOVE how it turned out!! And I am feeling a little younger! The next day was "the day" it was a fun birthday! My 3 boys SPOILED me!

I went out with this good looking guy!!

Special THANKS to Grandma and Grandpa M hanging out with the boys!! I will live it up this year since it's my last in my 20's AAAHHH!

The Pumpkin Walk

Every year since I was a little kid I remember going to the Pumpkin Walk with my family. I always loved going and seeing the many displays people made out of pumpkins, it was always fun to see just how creative people were. Since I am not a little kid anymore, and my parents don't walk around with me (though they are more than welcome to), I have decided to keep the October tradition going with my little family, plus Derek and I have gone every year since being married. So yesterday we decided to go to the Pumpkin Walk, which it's a good thing we did because it was the last day for it apparently......lol.

The boys were pretty excited and so was I



I think Harrison liked the Kung Fu Panda one just because of the music playing, he started busting out his wicked Kung Fu moves lol

WHO doesn't LOVE Angry Birds??

And of course Despicable Me, those Minions are so cute

This was Henrys favorite display for a few reasons
-he LOVES football
- GO AGGIES
-his boy Turbin has the ball
-Mountain Crest was losing
haha, funny kid!


Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh



I do remember, growing there was one thing I did NOT like at the Pumpkin walk......THE WITCH! Boy, did she scare me as a child she really was scary......the witch this year was more the Glenda type I guess you could say. (Is it just me or does she look like she could be married to the dude in the Despicable Me display?!?!?!) lol

After seeing all the cool displays the boys were WAY excited to go and do this....

To the Pumpkin Walk and eeeyond!!! (as Harrison would say)

Harrison the Builder....can he fix it....(I sure hope so, since he probably broke it)

Clifford the Big Red Dog (both boys are in there)

Where the Wild things are....

May the FORCE be with you until next years Pumpkin Walk
