Last Thursday, November 18th, my sweet Kylene turned SIX YEARS OLD! She enjoyed a fun party with several friends, about which I hope to post later.
Today, November 26th, is my wonderful hubby, Kyle's, birthday! Happy birthday, love of my life!! We celebrated yesterday with most of his family after our Thanksgiving festivities. Today his birthday wish was to relax and watch football--thankfully, I was able to grant him this wish! I love you, babe!

Susan and Jacob Visit!
Several weeks ago, my best friend from college--and roommate for my freshman and sophomore years--Susan and I were talking on the phone. We had a great time laughing and catching up on life. (She currently lives in Palmyra, New York, so we don't get to see one another very often). The next day she was telling her mom about talking to me and her mom said her dad had some frequent flier miles and why didn't she hurry and use some to come see me! Woo hoo! I love you, Sister Amsden! Her youngest, Jacob, was turning two in two weeks, so she hurried and booked her flight to fly in Monday night and out on Thursday. (His birthday was that Friday!) (She has two older boys who got to stay home with daddy and Aunt Katie--thanks for helping!)
We had fun just being together and letting the kids play. One evening Kyle watched all the kiddos so we could go out to dinner and then go to the cheap theater to see a movie. Otherwise, we just hung out, talked, and caught up. It was so fun to have her here!
One of the mornings she was here, Skyler fell down the stairs. (Now all my kids have done it once as babies; so sad.) He also managed to give himself a "phrenulectomy" (sp?), so Susan was kind enough to watch the kiddos while I took him to see the Pediatric Dentist. I told her how nice it was of her to come 3,000 miles to babysit my kids. :)
Thanks for coming all this way, Susan and Jacob!
Next time, I want to come to Palmyra! Please, please!!
Pumpkin Patch
We visited EZ Orchards for our pumpkin patch experience this fall. It was a beautiful, sunny Friday afternoon. Since most kids were in school, it was empty and free! Yea!
They had several of these picture ops!
By far the favorite activity of the trip was riding the miniature tractors; I think we went back to the area three different times.
Riding out to select our pumpkins.
Petting zoo...the cute curly-tailed piggies were still there, along with a few other animals. I just can't get over their cute piggie-tails:).
Football Bonding
One Saturday in October, Kyle's Grandpa and Logan & Shayla came down to see one of Kylene's soccer games. We enjoyed lunch and some quality football-watching time together afterward. We love having family over!
I love this one of Skyler coloring with his great-grandpa.
