The Great Pumpkin Carving

Tonight we started a tradition that I hope to continue for years to come. Kamryn and daddy carved their pumpkins! My sister, dad and I always did and we enjoyed it as well.

Most of you know how much Kamryn LOVES Dora so I went online and found an outline of Dora and of course my loving and artistic husband cut it out! It looks great! He then found himself an outline that he liked as well.

One of the pictures on here has nothing to do with pumpkin carving, but Aunt Nell wanted to see Kamryn playing with her Dora doll that she got for her birthday in the tub. So here you go Aunt Nell! She loves it! However, it doesn't swim in the water, but Kamryn could care less. Thank you Aunt Nell!

Vacation and Birthday Party

Lots going on again. We spent a week in Mayville with lots to do. Spent lots of time with grandma and grandpa Puls which was nice. We also visited with Aunt Nell, Kaden and Sawer. Also, a bit of time with grandma and granpa Z. Ken did lots of duck hunting and we both did a little bit of turkey hunting with little success. Oh well, we seen lots and that is just as fun! On Tuesday we met Carly, Aidan and Sienna at Little Farmer for some Fall fun, which didn't turn out so good. It was rainy and cold, but the kids still had fun and the carmel apples are good either way!!

Now, unto the birthday party. We had just a few close friends and family over since our house isn't huge. But it is always fun! Kamryn was thrilled with opening gifts this year which was fun. She even attempted to blow out her candle which even I was surprised with. She didn't get it blown out, but the attempt was worth it! The cupcakes turned out nice. With Elmo, Cookie Monster and Ernie making the appearance. Thank you honey for once again job well done!

Kamryn got lots of nice gifts which I'm not going to name them all. All of them are appreciated and we are so thankful for such great friends and family to spend time with.

Kitchen


We had a creek going by the cabin with this cute little bridge!



But like I said it was great to spend time with my mom and dad and make more memories for Kamryn! Not a lost weekend by any means. And I don't mean for it to sound like I didn't have a good time, because anytime with family is a good time. Just now we know next time what to maybe do a little different. Learning experience!

Well anyways, while we were gone our kitchen and living room were being painted. Or I should say just kitchen and our ceilings. He didn't think he would be able to get to the living room until this coming week. And he was right. The kitchen and ceilings are done, but not the living room and hallways. It looks awesome!! I am really happy with the color choice. He said the ceilings were horrible with the popcorn on them and he kind of knew that, but he said they were worse then he thought! :-) Glad I didn't do it! So this weekend he is coming back to finish just in time for Kamryn's birthday party!

Speaking of which, grandma and papa Z took Kamryn to Build a Bear when we got back into Appleton and let her pick one out for her birthday. She picked out a horse since she loves horsies! We choose a name and her name is "Penny"! Kamryn was thrilled. They bought the horse two outfits as well. Thank you grandma and papa!!

Here are pictures from the weekend. I'm sure I will need to blogs for this so bear with me!

We leave for Mayville on Monday afternoon and stay till Thursday. So I'll probably have more pictures!

More Fall Pictures

It's a mixture of my fall decorations and our pumpkin patch trip, but I think you should be able to figure it out! I'm too lazy to write all the little things under each picture. Sorry!! But at least I'm blogging!! :-)

Pumpkin Patch Take 1 and Fall Decorating

I say Pumpkin Patch take 1 because we plan on going to at least 1 more pumpkin patch this month! :-)

Today, daddy, Kamryn and I went to Cuff's Pumpkin Farm in Hortonville. It was part of Modern Woodman which I am a member of so we got a postcard for a special offer. It was 6.00 per person and under 2 was free. So 12.00 for ALOT of stuff, more than we thought actually. We got a hayride and then each person got one big pumpkin whatever size you picked from the pumpkin patch, one small pumpkin, one gourd and 2 indian corn each! Then we also got 2.00 per person each to spend on food and drink. And also, we got to ride a little train ride which was a four-wheeler with a bunch of car type dealies attached to it for free. Kamryn really enjoyed herself.

Last weekend I also put up the majority of my fall decorations. The only thing missing is my indian corn stalks tied to the poles on the porch in front of the house. But those will be up this week! :-)

Lots to do this week as we are getting our living room and kitchen painted, leaving town on Friday for a brief weekend getaway with my parents. Really looking forward to a weekend away.

Here are some pictures of today as well as some of my decorations. Fall is my favorite time of year so I can't help but take lots of pictures!!!

Yadda Yadda Yadda

I am sorry to report that once again I have failed to keep up with blogging!

I will just try to recap without any pictures to show for it. I have been busy scrapping, working, going back to visit family back in Mayville, however, don't think we will be doing that for the rest of this month. Also, Kamryn has been pretty sick the last week. She had a nasty sore throat (sore tongue as she calls it) which seems to be better, but now we are dealing with a nasty cough. When she lays down it's the worst and then of course when she gets up. It gets so bad that she throws up in one of her coughing jags. No fun for any of us. Hopefully that will improve or we will be taking a trip back to the dr cause that can't be right!

Anyways, the next couple of weeks and weeekends will be full of stuff. Going to a pumpkin patch, then we are going up north with my parents for a week possibly less depending on how things go. If not we will be going back to Mayville possibly to get in some turkey hunting. Then it's Kamryn's birthday! I can't believe our little girl is going to be two years old! I thought one year went by fast, but holy cow where did the second year go?!?! Then it's Halloween. In between all the weekends I will be putting in a bunch of extra hours to cover for a girl at work which will work out fine for the week that I have off to go up north!

I am really enjoying working at Gold's Gym. The girl I work with on Monday and Wednesday is a riot and we seem to get along very well. All the other girls are very nice, but for some reason Kristin and I just hit it off. Anyways, they are very flexible when I need to call in or need a day off. It's nice!

Well, that is my life story from the past month or so. I would say I will try to be better at blogging, but the truth is if nothin is catching my eye to write about I just don't. Sorry!! But since life is going to be so busy this next month I should have plenty of stories and pictures so just be patient.................till next time.
