Changing Seasons

We have been really enjoying the last few weeks. Izaac's birthday was great, we had a really fun visit with Grandpa & Grandma Green & Uncle Cass (which I had great intentions of taking many pictures of and doing a blog on, but of course didn't), and a wonderful trip to the pumpkin patch this weekend and quite a bit of "Daddy Time".

The pumpkin patch was loads of fun that you can only experience in the Midwest.

Pig Races

Corn Box

Haybales


Tractors

And of course, Homer :)

There was also a corn maze, pumpkin cannon, lots of animals to feed and pet, haunted houses and the hayride to the pumpkin patch. We had a really great morning there hanging out as a family and with our friends.

I feel like the last few weeks we have gone from swimsuits to winter coats and hats overnight and when I went to look at the pictures I have on my camera, I realized I was right! So here are the pictures of the dramatic change in seasons.

The day before it snowed, I started thinking about the possiblity and bought a couple of shovels. It turned out that Izaac's small shovel was a great sled to go down our hill in our back yard, since I hadn't thought of a real sled...I'm sure we'll have another opportunity to use a real sled!

Birthday Party

Our little boy turns 6 tomorrow! I can't believe it. He is such a sweet, big boy and we are so blessed to have him as our son.

When we found out we were moving to Omaha last January, Izaac started planning his 6th birthday party at Grandpa Kuiper's land. The weather was iffy all week, but we were blessed with a cool, rain free day last Sunday and we got to have Izaac's party at the land with lots of my relatives and complete with hotdogs, smores, cake, games, a hike, 4 wheeling and a pinata. It was so much fun! Happy Birthday, Buddy!
