MIKES FARM

We went to Mikes Farm for their fall festival today.
Rik with Kylie and Kelis.
We took a hayride to the pumpkin patch.

Brotherly love
Daddy, his pumpkins and their pumpkins.
Zach was determined to find a big pumpkin. Good job pumpkin!

Nick was last to find his pumpkin. He takes forever shopping too, especially shoes!
Kelis and Kylie with their little pumpkins. The pumpkins were sold by the pound so Rik got off way too easy!
Back to weigh the pumpkins. We had 46 pounds of pumpkins, yikes!
Does everyone see the pretty flower that Gabe and Caleb picked for Mom's hair?


Turns out the small pumpkins that the girls picked were FREE! Okay that would have been good information to have before we went to the pumpkin patch! We had a great time at the farm and a nice dinner out afterwards.
Thanks for the invite Janine!

FOR MY DARLING FAY

We bought a Manx kitten from a breeder in Missouri. I was going to fly out to get her and visit my darling, beautiful friend Fay but circumstances prevented the trip. Well, Fay has been nagging me to post pictures of this kitten that I rave about so here they are! (Love you Fay) For those of you that are unfamiliar with the Manx breed just look them up and you will see why I rave about these cats. They are awesome and I had the good fortune to have one as a pet many years ago and have been wanting another for a long time. When the boys started asking for a cat I knew it had to be a Manx! Okay Fay you are only an hour away go get one!
She curls up every night with either Gabriel or Caleb and that alone makes her priceless! They are much more like dogs than cats. She will lick everyone and is so affectionate and sweet. We gave her a Manx name of Ayden, which means little fire and Zaira, which means princess.
She is also very patient with the boys and tolerates their constant attention quite well.
These are the moments that make my heart sing!
I guess she wasn't getting enough attention.

Aren't they sweet! What a life!

KYLIE & KELIS

Way too sweet!

FAMILY EVENTS CATCH UP

My niece Ashton's first day of school. I have been told that she loves school, hopefully that is still true!
She is full of attitude so hopefully the cute and sweet face will keep her out of trouble. I hope school is ready for her!
This precious little guy is my nephew Mike's little boy Isaiah. Unfortunately I have never seen him but I have been told he is very sweet and always happy. He has his Dad's big beautiful eyes.
Isaiah and Marsha playing peek a boo.
All of my family got together to see my nephew Mike off to Army boot camp. Many of them met little Isaiah for the first time so it was very exciting and sad at the same time.
