On Havens bday
Since we were in Alabama - we celebrated Havens bday a little differently. We woke and had hot cocoa - such a special treat.
Opened cards from Daddy and everyone far away
Took cute pictures
Played outside
And went with Friends Mr Chris, Mrs Jessica and Zayden to a haunted Hay Ride (No, I would not normally be ok with a "haunted" hay ride) that had storytime at the end put on by professionals.
It was fun!

Haven turns 3!
Happy Birthday to my sweet baby girl!!
She is so full of life - I love watching her interact with others, especially her brother. I do believe he is her favorite!
Havens 3year old characteristics are:
1. She refers to her self as kitty cat. As in, the kitty cat is hungry or the kitty cat is crying.
2. She does still get easily frustrated and will cry first instead of using her words. But is usually easily redirected.
3. Neil is way better with dealing with her than me
4. She is a princess
5. Princesses are her favorite - Sleeping Beauty being #1, besides kitty cats
6. She can tell great stories - when not being overshadowed by her brother
7. She loves to dance and sing and wear pretty things.
8. All things pink are her favorite.
9. She is compassionate and gives the sweetest kisses
10. Her facial expressions are super cute and often very animated.
11. She is super smart and remembers the smallest details.
Haven is fun to be around. She still will throw fits, but is quick to straighten out after sitting by herself for a little bit.
Haven and Justus play so much together and it is the cutest thing. I love hearing their laughter.
Happy Birthday Haven - you are precious to me!!!!

Old Baker Farm Pumpkin Patch
My parents took the kids and me to the pumpkin patch on Sunday. Its always fun to see how things are different in Alabama. Sometimes its way better and sometimes I long for what I know in Ca.
This Farm is a real working farm so it was cool to be there. The biggest difference I noticed was the cotton. In Ca, cotton isnt really incorporated. But in Al, there was a whole huge trailer full of cotton for the kids to play in. My kids LOVED it and thought it was so cool. And there was a cotton growing that the kids could pick. I thought that was cool!
Then they got to go for a horse ride. That is always fun! Then on to the hay maze. Justus had a great time jumping all over the hay.
We visited the animals. There were goats, chickens, turkeys, ducks, baby cows and a horse. We even got to go to the top of the barn where the hay is kept. That was really cool and you know my kids ran all over that.
There was a hay pyramid for the kids to climb up. Justus loved that too and they even had a worker at the top helping the littles up. Haven liked it too, but she didnt get quite as high.
Next we took the hay ride over to the pumpkin patch where we got to pick our own pumpkins. It was quite a big area so we got to really hunt for the best one!
Good times at the pumpkin patch!!

Fall Painting
We always try to do some fun stuff to get us in the mood for the season. The other day the kids painted pumpkins. The only part I helped them with was the outline for the pumpkin. I thought they turned out quite well!
