Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we spent the day with Anne, Ian, Mamie, Papa, and the kids at the pumpkin patch.

(We've been on a roll with quality cousin time and I love it!)

In keeping with our new tradition, we headed to Swan Trail Farms and spent the morning eating cider donuts, walking through hay and corn mazes, going on a hay ride, looking at farm animals, and going on a few rides.  We did everything BUT buy a pumpkin  :)

The kids had so much fun exploring the farm.  Abigail especially loved the hay ride and looking at the big Mama Pig.  She didn't however enjoy the cow barrel ride... the kids were all buckled in ready for their ride, but as we waved goodbye she started to panic.  Next thing we know the kid driving the tractor stopped- Abigail was in full melt down mode (cue adorably patchy red face and big crocodile tears..)

Aside from that, she had a blast  :)

Here are some pictures from our oh-so-fun-family adventure:







A little tight...

After months of weight loss I brought her into the vet early this week.    I had been noticing the weight loss, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I started to see how skinny and malnourished she was getting. The vet determined she was suffering from late-stage hyperthyroidism and her kidneys were shutting down.  It was a painful assessment; why I didn't notice it earlier and help her?  That thought still haunts me. But at 11am on Monday morning, through a mountain of tears, regret, and sorrow, I bid farewell to the most loyal friend I've ever known. Minnie,  You were the first piece to my "own" family.  I remember vividly the day I got you.  It was my 21st birthday and Rebecca and Steph came over bearing a gift (more specifically, a brown grocery bag).  I opened it and looked inside; there you were,...

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...
