picking pumpkins

On friday Tyler class took a field trip to Apple Annie's Orchard. They walked though a small part of the corn maze and took a hay ride to pick pumpkins. He had a blast. Tyler likes the girls already, great!! He got a gift from one and got caught holding hands with other.

Then we went as a family on Saturday. We took the hardest corn maze trail. We got lost. I think we were in the maze for about 30 minutes. It was so fun though. The view of the maze from the air shows they cut out aminal shapes in the corn field.

We also took the hay ride out to the pumpkin field. Erin's eyes were bigger then her muscles. We told the they had to carry there pumpkins cause Kit was going to get a big one. She made it back to the trailer but barely. Tyler helped Kryssi find one. She liked it till she found out the the stem is pokey.

We had a blast. it was windy but very fun. We walked for 3 hours straight. the kids slept good that night. So did we.

In Memory of Papa

I just want to write a little in memory of my papa. He was a man that loved everyone. He was a clown for the Shriner's. When I was little I had a lot of sleep over weekends. I remember he would peek in the room and see if i was moving around yet and if I was he would run to the donut shop and get donuts. Another good memory was when we would grill out. He made the best hamburgers and brisket. We would all sit down and eat and laugh the entire time. He taught me how to do the number puzzle books. He always gave the biggest bear hugs every time. He was always happy and loved the Lord with his whole heart. He is in a wonderful place now with love joy and no more pain. We love you and will miss you Papa Markham.

fun fun fun

September has been fun!! We started off with a visit from Grandma Vicki and Papa Juan. They came down for Haylee's birthday. Haylee had a Ice Cream party. Her and all her friends make their own ice cream sundaes. They had 3 flavors of ice cream and about every topping you can think of. Haylee didn't get a cake so her sundae was her cake!!
She was so happy. Thank you for all the presents and thank you Summer for coming and sharing in our sugar high!

Later that weekend we went to the apple orchard and picked apples. the kids love picking the fruit and veggies.

And on the down side we found out that Kryssi has 4 cavities. They are going to fill 2 tomorrow. We will see how she reacts before we do the rest. They also said she has an under bite but we will take care of that when she is about 7. Thank God i only have one out of four that have my teeth.

going to grandmas

Her is a picture of kryssi this morning. She has PJ's and panties in her bag. She grabbed a hand full of pretzels and said " I am leaving to go stay at Grandmas". So I guess she is on her way!!
