My little Punkin's

I absolutely love this time of year...fall colors changing, the smell of harvest, tractor/combine rides with Dad and Trent...really, nothing tops this time of year. I love all the color, wearing hoodies, drinking hot apple cider and watching football on the weekends. Unfortunately, so far, it's been almost 80 degrees....which typically would be great, except, I'm READY for fall weather. 60/70's please!!!!

We took advantage of Jason's birthday and the great weather and had a fun family outing to Millennium Farms in Benton County. They've got all kinds of fun things for the kids to do, and for $5 per person, you get to take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch and pick any one you'd like. Colton LOVED it. Emmalyn, she was probably less than thrilled, but mostly because she was so sweaty and hot. It was probably 85 degrees while we were there -- but that didn't stop my camera from working. We got some great pictures.
Colton kept asking Jason, "How do we get out Daddy?"
You could imagine, he was tickled to see the end of the maze!

Back to Brookston to get more Pumpkins with Mamps

Cutest Punkin's there!

"Here, Mamps, it's heavy..."

Love this one...Mamps & Colton

Poor thing...it was a long day in the heat...

He wanted to sit on this huge pumpkin!

Thank God he didn't drop her.... :)

What a great way to wrap up a fun weekend! Hope you had a memorable 30th Birthday Jason -- we love you!! (Don't worry, the adults only 30th birthday celebration comes later in the month....Dress Up Halloween Party anyone?? :) )

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

Central Indiana Winter Spectacular

 We kicked off show season with this set of calves in mid-January at the Central Indiana Winter Spectacular, a first time show down in Cloverdale, Indiana. I'm not sure what was more fun - being with our kids and friends at a cattle show, or listening to our kids meddle over the thought of staying in a Motel 6.  (Backstory on this one -- when I worked at Purdue/in the Conference division, I held a few conference at The Hyatt in downtown Indianapolis. When I had events there, I'd earn points. We then would use those points for free night stays....I think I had maybe 15 or so over the years. So, the only hotel my kids know, is a Hyatt, because unbeknownst to them, it was FREE.....which is the ONLY reason we stayed in such a nice place with young kids. So, imagine their dismay when the Motel 6 in Cloverdale didn't have an Eagles Nest rotating up top, or an indoor pool and hot tub/workout area. We have officially raised hotel snobs.....because when we finally took them to the k...
