Pumpkin Patch 2013

On Sunday, we went to the Country Harvest Pumpkin Patch by Hastings.  It was pretty nice out and only needed jackets.  We had plenty of time to enjoy each area.

Plastic tube to crawl in.

Lily took this pic.  ha ha

We really liked the cow train.  They had bumps along the way to make it exciting!  ha ha

The big pillow!

He came over to this piggie and put his head in all by himself.

I think Hud needs a haircut.

Waiting for the zip line!  I love her nervous/excited grin.

They both enjoyed it!

She ditched the pink tractor for the 3-wheeler so she could make it up the bridge.

We then went into the corn maze.

Lily HAD to be the leader.

We finally made it to the bridge, but that was not the end.  This maze was definitely a good one.

Mommy save me!  ha ha!

We finally got out.  It was funny because many of us had been in the corn for awhile.  It seemed impossible!  Phew!

The goats loved Hudson!

Such a big chair!!!

Pumpkin sling shot!

We had a great time.  We each picked out a pumpkin and can't wait to carve them this weekend!!!!

Micaela and Mike's wedding

On Friday, my friend Micaela got married to Mike in Nehawka at a winery.  Matt had Friday off and I was able to leave my teacher work day a little early.  My sister picked up the kids and had them for the weekend.  I got us a hotel room at our favorite hotel (we love the breakfast!).  

We had to get a pic together before the big night.  Then a school bus picked us up from the hotel to take us to the wedding.  It was about 45 minutes away.

The ceremony was beautiful!  It was outside (so a little chilly) and the meal was delicious.  

Me and the beautiful bride!  Micaela and I lived together for almost 2 years in college.  

Mike photo bombed us!  

Shannon, Becky, Cala, Hayley, Beth, me

We all lived together except for Becky.

Hayley and I!  

My first wedding with a PHOTO BOOTH!

On Saturday we ate our wonderful breakfast, and then we went to the Horseshoe.  We hadn't been there in a long time.  I love to play Roulette.  I always bet on our birthdays and anniversary: 2, 4, 6, 16, 17.  17 has always been my favorite.  Long story short, I won $260!!!  It was fun!  We then ate sushi downtown, yum!  Matt and I had a great couple days together.  Thank you for a fun time Matt! :)

Dance party

I have watched this video soooo many times!  My kids have great moves. :)

Picking up Pipe!

Over the weekend when Matt was gone, we got to hang out with my family.  Dad still had pipe to pick up, so we had a great afternoon after the game picking up pipe.  Virgie and her friend, Jake, did most of the heavy lifting (they wouldn't let me!) and I kept the pipe organized, ha ha!  Lily and Hudson helped Grandpa drive. :)

He was out!

The show must go on though!  We were able to get it all picked up!
