Gilcrease Orchard

We went to a pumpkin patch as a field trip for Bryanna's preschool. It was really fun for the kids. Running and looking for the perfect pumpkin kept them busy. It was really dusty and the field was full of soft sand....so it made for a horrible dusty day. But, it was fun for the kids and nice to see that pumpkins actually can grow in the desert!

I think it's comical to see a farm with palm trees in the back ground.

Grace & Bryanna make for a dynamic duo...one minute they are loving each other, the next they are fighting. They make me laugh. There were three preschool classes from our neighborhood that came along, so although Bryanna and Grace aren't in the same class this year, we still got to car pool and hang out with everyone!!

Bryanna picked out the most perfectly round pumpkin I've ever seen!

Miss Marci and Bryanna's class. It was a fun outing way the heck across town.

Carnival Fun

The best thing about halloween besides the weather cooling down are the carnivals!! Last night my sister and I headed over to a carnival nearby and it was just perfect in all aspects. There weren't any crowds and the weather very agreeable.

This ride was actually really fun, and I recommend it to everyone...I had a total blast and felt like a kid again, screaming and giggling...

And of course, the favorite, the Merry-go-round. Maddox cried when I took him off his horsey, but then again, what little boy wouldn't?

The three stooges...Bryanna just eats up every second she gets to spend time with her favorite cousins!

This was taken as we were heading out, and Bryanna stuffing popcorn in her mouth with Maddox showing off his cute little tummy...LOL! Kids WILL be kids!

My precious cargo...love this little kittens to pieces!

Abby, the dare devil, on the yo-yo! Even her older sister said no to this ride!


Tell me, what child doesn't love a ride involving a miniature car??

Maddox also cried when we took him off of this one...poor kid!

And you see the lights on...

And poof...they're off! Yep, that's right. The main power generator that supplied all the energy for the carnival died...just as they were starting this ride! Oh well, we were practically done and ready to go home anyway!




At least we were able to get our tickets back, and guess what!! We are going back today after the kids get out of school to use them up!!

This fun carnival is located on the Northeast corner of the 215 and Rainbow for any of you wanting to go...it was so fun!

I gotta new attitude...

I love the words to that 1980's song and find them very fittingly with my new hair do!! Thanks, Brittney, I love it!! I love my hair cut every time you do it, but I love this style especially, it was time for a change. I tell ya, when autumn comes, so does lots of other things into my life. Maybe its a mental switch for me, thank goodness for the four seasons of the year, even if the desert isn't as grand as other places.

I can do my hair in seriously 8 minutes, blowdry and all!! LOVE IT!!


Maddox is flashing his sweetness into the camera lens...

I ADORE this very cheesy smile of his, and I'm glad I could capture it with my camera that has this horrible delay on it...time for a new camera!

I was watching Bryanna play with her doll, and mentioned to her what a good Mommy she was being. And she said, "I'm not a MOMMY, I'm a CINDERELLY MOMMA!" As she is wearing her "blue dress" with admiration and confidence. Some kids need help with their self-esteem (I still think I need help), but hers came built-in! I'm wowed by her capacities sometimes.
