Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch yesterday. They had all kinds of things to do for kids: rides, games, a petting farm, jumpy houses, pony rides, and of course, pumpkins.

Kaden's First Sleepover

Kaden had his first sleepover last weekend. He went and spent the night with his friend, Ashlynn, so daddy and I could go out to eat at The Melting Pot. He had so much fun.

Kaden and I made pumpkin cookies. Kaden was in charge of the sprinkles. I think that he ate more then what ended up on the cookies. He is so my child!

Great Wolf Lodge

We went to Williamsburg to the Great Wolf Lodge for a few days. It was so nice. I guess that there's several of them around the U.S. so if there's one near you, you should definitely go. There's so much for families to do!!


They have an indoor water park so you don't have to worry about the weather!

They have a putt-putt/rock climbing place. Kaden played, I think 3 out of the 18 holes, but it was the first time he'd ever played. I, of course, won by 15 strokes!

Loving Presents in the Mail!

Kaden got a package in the mail from his Aunt Suzanne and was soooo excited to open it. Unfortunately he had to wait an extra day to open it because he happened to receive a "red note" from his teacher at preschool the same day that the package arrived. Yes, my perfect baby : ) had to be put in time out at school for making noises and not stopping when he was told to quit, and then for pushing a girl in line. His day got worse after I picked him up. Anyway, when he finally got to open his package he was excited to see that it contained tons of pumpkin things which he loves.

Helping Out Dad

Kaden helped out his Dad by washing the tires:

Family Pics

We had our family pictures taken this week. We thought it was about time since we hadn't had them taken since Kaden was less than a year old! (He'll be 4 in Jan.) Due to safety/security reasons, this post will only be on here briefly. So enjoy the pictures of ALL of us while you can. : )

Day Out With Thomas 2008

Last weekend we took Kaden to NC-5 and 1/2 hour drive- to the Day Out with Thomas 2008. We left Friday after Kaden and I were done with preschool and spent the night there so we'd be ready for the day on Sat. Of course Kaden's all about staying in a hotel with a "hot pool" as he calls a hot tub. The weather wasn't great but Kaden didn't care. The NC Transportation Museum had a lot of trains to look at plus several things for the kids to do. Plus of course there was the train ride on the actual Thomas the Train.
