Remlinger Farm

Today, we went to Remlinger Farms. It's a local farm that has a TON of activities during the fall. It was a gorgeous day - sunny but with a hint of autumn in the air. There were so many fun pictures from today that I just couldn't trim the number - this is what we refer to as a picture overload!



















Pumpkin Patch with buddies


This week, a group of us from Playgroup went to the pumpkin patch and had a blast. It had been raining for a few days, so the girls enjoyed a "mud dance" at the end - I'll try to get that video up soon - it was AWESOME!! Until I get the video edited, please enjoy these pictures!!




As promised - the video! Enjoy!!

Dr. Bailey

I had my 6th knee surgery about a week ago (1st surgery on the left knee - it's doing great, I'm hoping to get cleared to run on Tuesday). We brought home some hospital garb for Bailey - I don't think that most surgeons work in just their undergarments - I think she'll have to go through med school to get the official outfit!

Getting Ready for Halloween!

We've really gotten into the Halloween spirit around here. A couple of weeks ago we had a Halloween party with some old friends. This outfit is one of Bailey's new "favorites" - subtle, eh?


Bailey's first handful of pumpkin

She wasn't too impressed!

Bailey, teaching us all how to decorate cookies. Skip the cookie and just eat the decorations.


If you don't look like this after decorating cookies, you obviously haven't done it right!

President Bailey


The shirt says it all!! She gets my vote!!

What I love most!

In the past couple of days, Bailey has requested snuggle time at the end of the day with me. This is a rare occurrence as she typically can't be bothered to slow down for a snuggle. But, right now, she wants to snuggle. So we lay on the couch, listen to quiet music, and I rub her head slowly while I sing to her. And - two nights in a row - she has fallen asleep. O-U-T. Sound asleep. When Adam carries her to her room she doesn't wake at all. Do I think that this is her new pattern? Hmmm - I don't know. But, I'm going to absolutely cherish each time that it happens. It's my new favorite part of the day!

Let the rounds begin...

It's pumpkin patch time again and we have a few "favorite farms" to hit in the next couple of weeks. We started, yesterday, at the South 47 Farm - home of the Farm Tots. They did not disappoint! We had some particularly stormy weather on Saturday which left some tremendous puddles - if we could vote one place for the best mud puddles in the NorthWest, this farm would be our winner!!

We found some pumpkins, fed the Alpacas and Goats, climbed some toys, and then wrapped it all up with a rousing time of puddle jumping!!

Tea Party

The most special thing I did on my birthday was to have a "mommy & Bailey first tea party." We made tea cookies before with my cookie press and then broke out our new tea party set and got dressed up for the party. It was so sweet and very fun (until someone, and I'm not naming names - Bailey, decided to pour "tea" on the table because that's very funny - hmmm). Here are some pics.
