Mommy daughter date to the pumpkin patch

Nash was at school doing his own pumpkin patch fun, so Laine and I took a trip to another pumpkin patch to hang out with some friends.  It was really hot that day, but we managed to have fun anyways. 

 the best group shot I got...kinda hard with so many kiddos

 sister girl

 she was so mad she couldn't climb the haypile like the older kids..this is the beginning of a pout

 and this is the end. poor girl

 she climbed all the way to the top by herself and slid down all alone!

 weeeeeee

 let's go again"!

 this is Reese and Laine.  Reese is obviously staking claim.  you can almost hear her saying "mine!"

 kisses for Charlie

 and Snoopy

 eating guac like her daddy-by the spoonful!

Playing Catch-Up

This blog post title probably appropriately describes every one of my yet to be posted posts.  I'm quite certain that "playing catch up" is what I will be doing for....the next 5 years!  Anyway, here are some pics I managed to remember to take over the past few months.

 Laine being Laine, she lounges with the best of them

 Nothing makes a little boy smile like a naked barbie doll
