Fall Festival/Pumpkin Patch

Normally every year we go to Marble Falls (about an hour away) for a Fall Festival and pumpkin patch, but this year with Christopher's leg and to keep things simple we decided to stay here and find something locally to enjoy.
We went to a Fall Festival about 15 minutes away today and it was fun! Not to mention that the weather was just gorgeous! The kids got to pick and decorate pumpkins, jump on bouncy houses, pet animals in a petting zoo, and more.

It didn't take long for the kids to find their pumpkins!




Christopher had fun playing pumpkin basketball! He was limited to what he could do today, but he enjoyed this...he always loves basketball!!

Matthew giving him a push forward...and he got a basket!

Aww, so close!

Matthew got a hold of the camera and took this shot of Christopher, but I thought it turned out pretty cute (except he's missing some hair:).

Katherine got her turn with the camera and snapped this shot of us. She's always been a natural photographer (since she's been 3 years old??)!!

At the petting zoo, they had these baby rabbits that were SO cute (much cuter than these pictures show) and they were so easy-going/patient! They let tons of kids hold them and they would just sit in their laps, even while some kids would poke their eyes or pull their ears.
Here's Katherine holding the sweet baby rabbit.

Matthew thought they were cute for only a short while and then he "accidentally" dropped it. Oops. Hmm...

Christopher really loved this bunny. He sat and held him for a while and didn't want to give him up! He kept kissing it and petting it. It was so cute:)

There was also a horse and donkey there and Christopher kept pointing to the donkey and saying "Shrek!"...I was like "that's not Shrek, that's a donkey!" And then I realized that he knew it was a donkey and that he recognized it from the donkey in the movie Shrek. Too funny!

It was such a beautiful day that we had our windows open all day. Fall is finally here!

Old Navy Coupon!!

Wahoo...I don't know if I've ever been more excited about a coupon before! Lately, I've been following a lot of neat money-saving blogs to see if I could cut our grocery budget down from about $1,000 a month and I'm proud to say that I've done that this month and cut it down to $400...more than HALF! That's partially why I haven't posted blogs in a while because this definitely keeps me busy, but I guess is well worth it! I use to just clip a few coupons, head to the store, and be so excited when I'd save $15-20 in one trip. (If you're interested in knowing the money-saving blogs I follow, let me know and I'll forward them to you!) Anyways, OldNavyWeekly.com hides several coupons on there each week (usually reloads on Thursdays) and a big coupon on there is $75 off $100 purchase. I tried last week to get it and even stayed up til 2 a.m. trying, but no luck (I really enjoy the challenge:). Last night, I tried at 8 p.m. and found they reloaded...

6 years...

So it's January 19th...our anniversary! I can't believe we've been married for six years. In some ways it seems like we've been married such a loooonngg time, but in other ways it feels like we're still dating. Nevertheless, the past 6 years have been great, even as I remember the challenges we've faced together. I think they've just made us stronger. I can honestly say that after 6 years, we have never had a fight where both of us were angry and yelling at each other...like the movies. Thank the Lord! There may have been times where we weren't just soo lovey dovey with each other, or may have said things that weren't nice, but for some reason we seem to get over it quickly and move on. I'm thankful for Daniel and how loving he is towards me and his consistency in showing love to me no matter what. After 6 years, 3 kids, 4 apartments, 1 house, 1 dog, and 3 cities later, I'm so blessed to have Daniel as my husband!

Our Thanksgiving

I know this is a little late, but better late than never right!? We had a very fun Thanksgiving this year, as usual, visiting the families in Houston. We ate great food, as always, had fun family time, and I even got to spend kidless girl time with my sister which was lots of fun! Grandpa Farmer was here for Thanksgiving this year and this man just amazes me. This is Daniel's almost 92 year old Grandpa with Christopher, almost 7 months old. Grandpa is in such great health and puts most 70 year olds to shame! We went to a Christmas tree farm the day after Thanksgiving and he was walking all through the forest carrying a measuring stick for the tree and did a great job keeping up with us! Not only does he NOT need a cane, wheel chair, dentures, a nursing home, or any of those other "old-people" things, but he does an amazing job holding a conversation and following a football game! Anyways, he is a great Godly man and an honor to be around. I hope my boys will follow in his...
