Carving Pumpkins and Happy Birthday to Chase!

Carving Pumpkins

.......... Triptyn really likes his fist these days.........


The Pumpkins

Yesterday was Chase's 11th Birthday (gosh, that makes me feel old). Angie took the day off, so I went down on Wednesday night with my parents because Ang has been dying to see Triptyn. It was a quick trip but always worth it! Triptyn didn't want to miss any of the action while we were there, so he didn't sleep very much. He fell alseep long enough for me to eat dinner!

Then it was time for Chase to open his presents.

Triptyn woke up in time for the party

I'm so glad we were able to be there for your birthday Chase!

We love you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Where does time go?!?!

Oh my, I don't know where time goes these days! I feel like I'm so busy, yet I don't get much done!! :) Well, for some reason I'd been dying to go miniature golfing.....so we went one Monday night for FHE a couple weeks ago. It was tons of fun and I almost beat Mike!

Before the snow flies, Triptyn had to ride his 50! It was a little chilly outside so we dressed him nice 'n' warm and he went for a ride with Daddy! I'm not exactly sure he liked it....wait, of course he did, he's a Holst, right?! Well he didn't cry, so that's good.

Let's see, after that comes the Pumpkin Patch..........we've gone there every year to pick our own pumpkins! Here's Mike and Triptyn on our way into the patch. Can't you just see the anticipation on their faces?! They were pretty excited.

There were rows and rows of pumpkins! On the other side of the road were even more pumpkins. If it wasn't soo cold, I could've been there for hours searching for the perfect pumpkin...........

But it was cold, so we pretty much grabbed the first good one we saw, took a few pictures and then went to enjoy some hot chocolate and donut holes!

More pictures to come after we carve our pumpkins next week! (we didn't want to carve them too soon so they wouldn't get all wrinkly)
