Zane's birthday was in two days, so Aunt Megan and I decided to have them bring him a mexican birthday dessert. Well.....he liked it SO much he was "double fisting" it!!! OK, he does have manners, I promise... but to heck with it for once, it's his "treat".

A photo op while waiting for our food at a resturant in Knoxville.

Zane wanted to be with Uncle Scott & Grampa.
So, now Lydia decided it's her turn to see....
Zane wants to go up to the very top...............

So here they are together at the "tip top". Uncle Scott was helping a friend put up a business sign that Scott designed for them. The kids wanted to see Uncle Scotty, so that meant they got to join him up there. Isn't that what uncles are for? :)

Look at this gorgeous view from the back of the hayride!! Breath-taking!
This was a cloud that Zane pointed out and said it looked like a house with one side missing! How creative and observant! Beautiful though!!

The kids all piled onto the wagon for the hayrack ride to the Pumpkin patch. We enjoyed a beautiful view on the way there. When they dropped us off, we went through a corn maze!! We did manage to keep all the kids together and didn't lose a one of them. :) Then we went to gather our pumpkins from the patch, each kid got to pick their own.

Feeding Goats, Pumping water and looking at the little pony. Oh, what fun watching the kids explore!!

We joined our friends and their kids on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. They all had their turn at feeding the goats.

Iowa Orchards - Pumpkins

This is TOO cute to NOT put in frames, huh?

Iowa Orchards 9.29.2007

We took our friends, Marcus and Maleaha to the Apple Orchard! We had to see just how tall we are.

I finally got contacts again!! I'm looking forward to buying "new glasses" to change my look a bit, for those days when I need a quick "makeover".

Fun close-ups of the kids!

Zane and Lydia Coloring with their new markers set from Uncle Nick, Aunt Angie & Alana got from Ireland. They were busy bees!!!

This is part of our "special time" with Gramma. She spent a night and the following day with us. I caught a few pics of our crafting and dancing! The kids just had a blast!!

This was at our friends party for Labor Day. Maleaha (Mimi) and I (Coley) are having a special moment.

The kids were suppose to help me cook, but it soon became chaos. They ate most of my peanut butter and became the biggest mess to clean up. Yet the pictures are priceless and will let me laugh for a long time to come.
