Ever notice how I have to put a "catchy" headline?? I'm weird, lol. We have had a really busy past few days, heading up to the viewing and funeral. It was an emotional time, but happy as well, and it was SO nice to get back in touch with such good people that you feel so fortunate to call your family. It's also amazing what you learn about people. At the funeral, I learned my great-grandparents shared a double bed in the nursing home? Does it get any cuter than that? I think not. Here are a few pictures of the family. What a cute couple! ;) Some of pap-pap's great and great-great grandkids! Kristin and Alycia Some of his grandkids! Cousin Kristal and her husband :) Love this picture of them! Today I had off and Cayleigh and I have started eating breakfast outside at her table every Friday. Not sure how it happened, but aside from the fact it's getting pretty chilly out, it's really nice. :) We did a little project also for halloween. We had to use a gl...

After we left the pumpkin patch, we still wanted to be outside so we stopped at a park nearby. We crunched through leaves, sat and swang in trees, ran on bridges, and played with these weird things that came off a tree that Matt seemed all knowing of. She wanted to "reeeeaaaach the yeeeaaafff"! ahh, the tree pictures...My favorite! I suggested Matt put her in the tree for a good picture, but little did I know she would want to get in EVERY TREE and sit in it! and how do you end a perfect day?? Moe's, of course.... :) Pumpkin patch pictures in the post below!

A blast from the past and present....

So we are finally ALL healthy!!!!!*knock on wood* We decided to go to the pumpkin patch today, to get out of the house and because we wanted to keep the tradition of going to Jumbo's every year with her. Here are a few pics from last year for comparison and because I like to torture myself with how fast she is growing.... and now for the present. We had a great time! Cayleigh loved petting the animals and seeing the horses. She also liked the hayride and searching for her pumpkin. We ended up onnly getting one pumpkin, as there actually wasn't alot left to choose from between the rain rotting them and the fact that we went so late into the season. She was SO excited to go get a pumpkin! Gotta love her cheesy smile :) and this year she was a tad over 3ft! Petting a baby cow.... Feeding a goat.... She was really excited for the hayride when we first got on, but she seemed a tiny bit nervous after it took off... She's picking the "baby" pumpkins(Matt will tell you t...
