pumpkin patch

We are enjoying the wonderful weather here in Arkansas and love watching the leaves change it has been a beautiful season, We went to the pumpkin patch last week on a play date and my niece and nephew got to go with us. Britton loved picking up all the pumpkins and of course playing on the cool hay tunnels. He said it was "just a great day" so cute, he is just loving life right now!

Roller Coasters

Britton and I went to the fair on Monday, we had a great time. On the way there he told me he wanted to ride on the roller coaster, I don't know how he knew about roller coasters, but he rode them and loved it. I thought he would get scared, but he just wanted to do it again, I did put him on a big slide that he rode on a little slippery mat, he was in tears when he got off. But he just said that was scary, let's do it again. My little boy is just growing up and reminding of how big he is everyday, I keep thinking this is my favorite stage of his life then we start another. The pictures are not great, but I had to take them fast so I could jump on the ride with him, he is sooo fun!

Think Pink

Today was the Race For the Cure in Little Rock. I have walked, let me stress walked in this race for a few years now, but never like today. I walked by myself, had tons of friends there, but among the other fifty thousand women I couldn't find them. This was the first time I have walked in the race while personally knowing someone who is fighting this battle of breast cancer. It was overwhelming to see so many people in one place together for one cause, such a feeling of unity, but I just wondered about how my friends felt. They are not like me just walking for a cause I feel strongly about, they are walking for their lives, fighting something, that seems so much bigger than we are. We seem small, weak, I mean pink not a very threating color. Cancer is big, mean, stronger than we are, right? Then I thought about God, our great, big Father up in Heaven watching down on us, He is bigger, stronger than cancer! I pray for my courageous friends one who is in remission , one about to start chemo, remember our God, your God is bigger than this disease. I am so proud of you and love you so much.

Apple Picking

Well we tried to go pick apples today, but we failed. Apparently they said they were saving all apples for the school field trips, I was like well grow more apples next time, but oh well. We still had fun and we got to pick some other fruit that I can't even begin to spell, they were kinda like grapes.
Britton ate half of them before we could get them weighed, he really liked them. It was our friend, Bethany's birthday, it was a beautiful day to be outdoors with friends.
