Fall Firsts

Ok, so something MAJOR is going on with our computer. I'm currently at my mom's house using her computer. I am able to post a new update on mine, but it will not allow me to add pics. That is just NOT going to work.

So, we had a really nice weekend other than the snow flurries we had Friday night. UGH!! I'm NOT ready for snow but it looks like it's coming sooner than we'd all hoped. This week is supposed to be nice though. Today I think it's gotten to about 65 degrees. AWESOME!! Sunday was nice enough for us to take Ryan to the pumpkin patch for her first time ever. She has been talking about pumpking A LOT, just because she is seeing them everywhere now. Just and FYI also....Stefenie guessed Ryan's Halloween costume...she's going to be a punk rock chick!!! GREAT GUESS STEF!! I guess the picture of the pink hair sort of gave it away. lol

Anyways...back to the pumpkins!! We've never been to the patch by our house so we were excited to go. It is called Daniel's Farm and they have a petting zoo, playground, and a hayride to the pumpkins. Ryan was excited as soon as we got out of the car!!






She was even more excited to see that they had made something that just happens to look like her FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD.




She played on the playground and of course was very excited about the slide. When we first got there, they give you cups of food to feed the baby animals with. I wasn't sure how I felt about that because of the germs but they had HUGE bottles of hand sanitizer set up ALL over. That was a NICE relief.





After feeding the animals, it was time for the hayride to the pumpkin patch.


When we got off the hayride, she just went crazy!!! She was trying to run ALL over the place and grab EVERY pumpkin. She soon realized they are pretty heavy. HAHA. We weren't actually going to purchase a pumpkin because we already have a rather large one at home, but we just wanted to see her in the moment.
We had a great time and she missed her nap in order to go, so needless to say, she was EXHAUSTED afterwards.



Sleeping on the couch!!

Just and FYI, I changed Ryan's appointment for her 2nd opinion. Jay's insurance at his work is changing on November 1rst to give us a $4000.00 deductable. Right now, we only pay a $20.00 co-pay for a PCP AND specialist. So, this change is going to cause some major issues for us, which is why I changed Ryan's appt to October 26th. The more we can get done by the end of the month, the better off we are. I will, of course keep everyone posted as to what the Dr. says. Hopefully it is all good things.
Even though Ryan's birthday is not until December, I am taking her tomorrow for her 2 year pics. I figured they would probably fill up the appt book pretty quickly with Fall/Winter appts. Her looks wont change between now and December, so I'm getting it done now. I will try to scan a copy and let everyone see.
I hope everyone is having a great week and also had a great weekend.

  1. Yay!!! I was right on guessing her costume. It only took me two times and two clues!!

    Looks like you guys had a great time at the pumpkin patch. I loved the pics.

    Hope all goes well at her appointment and that the insurance changes won't cause too many problems for you guys!

  2. I love the pictures! Ryan is so cute! It looks like you all had a great time.

    Good luck with the insurance thing. You've gotta have it, but boy sometimes it can be a pain... Hopefully it will all work out the way you need it to.

    Big Heart Hugs,
