Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch on Saturday and had a great time. They have several mazes, hayrides, and a pumpkin patch where you get to pick out a pumpkin to take home. They also have a petting zoo. Nate was so excited to get to feed the animals. We went up to the pony first. He was being so sweet and then all of a sudden he bites Nates arm!!! I'm freaking out, Matt almost punched the pony, and Nate is crying. Thankfully no broken arm, just a nice set of teeth marks.

My boys!

New York City

A few weeks ago we went to NYC with Matt's parents and had a blast. NYC is our new favorite spot and we can't wait to go back. We were only there for a couple of days, but we were able to do so much. Here's what we did: Times Square (our Hotel was actually in Times Square), Empire State building, NBC tour, Rockefeller Center tour, broadway show Wicked, Central Park (we ate at The Boat House), ground zero, Wall Street, Grand Central Station, experienced the subway, had dinner at Serendipity, FAO Swartz, Trump towers, and the Statue of Liberty! I am still amazed at what we accomplished in 2 days.


Nathan stayed with some friends, so this was our first trip alone since Nate was born. It was well needed. Nate did so well and had such a blast playing with Julianna and with Jill and "coach."


I am so afraid of flying, so I spent most of my time in the air praying. I learned that God not only has the best plan for my life, but that he also has the best plan for Nate's life. I cannot control everything that happens to Nate, but I can trust that God loves him more that I do and that His plan for Nathan is far better than anything I could come up with.

Go Thunder!!!

We had our first Thunder game last night and we had a great time. They ended up losing the game 90-88. Matt and I both agree that the best part of the game was the half-time show. They selected 20 random people (we think 6 may have been staged) from the audience and they were to run, jump on a trampoline, and shot the ball. I've seen this done before, but never by people who had never even tried it. We were cracking up!!! We also enjoyed watching the people around us laughing.

We are so glad that we decided to buy season tickets. We met the couple next to us, Paul and Debbie. They were so friendly. It turns out that Paul is a huge Jayhawk fan too. I think there might have been more Jayhawk talk than Thunder talk.

Nate stayed with his friend Gavin and had a great time playing with some new toys.

Can't wait til the next game!
