Pumpkin Patch

It's pumpkin time!  We had a great time picking out our pumpkins and playing with all the fun stuff they had there.  We even got to see a "celebrity"...hahahaha!

And here she is...Snookie. At the pumpkin patch. In high heels. Hysterical. Only in Jersey.

Bye Week

Ben had his bye week last week and we were so grateful that he had Tuesday through Sunday off.  But we were even more grateful that for the first time in Ben's 7 year career that the Bucks were finally home on his bye week!  So we headed back to Ohio last week to spend time with family and friends, but also paid a long awaited visit to Ohio Stadium!

The girls got to experience fun around the farm and the Circleville Pumpkin Show!

Driving a tractor

Linds was apparently afraid of the tractor, but warmed up when she could go with her daddy

Up, up and away, with a little apprehension

Playing in the corn

And soy beans

Taking a ride in the combine with Uncle Tom

And a camel ride...I mean what more could you ask for?

We also made a visit to see my brother and Meghan

Sleepy girls on the way home...

And a visit to see Aunt Faythe and Grandma

Whitney went on her first fishing trip with my dad and caught two blue gill.  She said the fish felt "gooey".  I love how proud she is of her little fish.  I remember fishing with my dad feeling the same way! :)

The girls also visited a pumpkin patch with my parents where there was a goat named Whitney!



A Shiner

I wasn't planning on blogging about this, but when I took this picture to text message to Ben (in Denver) so he could see, I thought it was too cute a picture, so...here's Whitney...she has a shiner on her eye via hitting and skidding her face on the hardwoods after going over the front of their little scooter car.  There were tears, very briefly, then I tried to ice it, but after literally 3 seconds, she said, "It feels better mommy." And she was back on the car.  She is a tough little girl.

Walk For A Cure

The Jets Womens Organization teamed up to participate in a breast cancer walk this morning.  So proud that my mom is a 10 year survivor!  As you can see, the girls got in on the action.  Fun morning, Beautiful day!

We Finally Got to Meet Casen!

Our friends Keith and Nikki came to visit us over the weekend and they brought their new baby boy, Casen, with them so we could finally meet him.  He's already 4 months old.  The girls loved playing with him and Whitney "kept an eye on him" all weekend to help out.  We all went to the Monday night game against the Vikings, which we won despite the absolute torrential downpours before and during the game.  It was the hardest rain I've ever been out in.  Nikki and I couldn't stop laughing about it!  Anyway, after we dried out over night, we headed into the city on Tuesday to see the sights.  Too short a visit, but such a great one!

Spoon!

Lindsey is currently working on mastering the art of using a spoon.  In the process, she has decided to make some "art" herself with her canvas being her face, bib, highchair...pretty much anything around. :)

Just Fun Stuff

We all took a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge

The girls enjoying a show and some popcorn!
