The Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend, Mema and Papa Riley came to the city to enjoy some fall fun.  They came for dinner on Friday and we had a wienie roast.  Ella got her flu shot that day (I did as well), so she was rather cranky and not herself, but Parker was having a blast in his high chair with Papa teaching him how to stick his tongue out.  It was cute.  On Saturday, we went to Carolyn's Pumpkin Patch.  We love that place. 

Parker was so intrigued by the donkey.  He stayed there forever looking at it and petting it while Ella went down the slide a gazillion times.






Ella loves feeding the animals.  She asked the goat, "Are you hungry?"

Note to self:  Don't play with the settings on your camera when taking pictures such as this...the coloring is off, but I love this picture!







My 34th Birthday



My mom was visiting while Dusty was out-of-town for work.  A couple days early, my mom started my birthday off by making a cake with Ella.  

Parker was in charge of keeping the measuring spoons in order.



Who needs pants when making a cake?



The first round of singing "happy birthday" with my mom there



Dusty got back in town the day before my birthday so we were able to spend it together.  He set up Ella's t-ball set that Uncle Jimmy & Aunt Heather gave her for her birthday.  She had a blast!

Even Wilbur got in on the fun!

Parker loves his swing!

Maybe if I keep my eyes closed, I'll hit it.
