Pumpkin Patch

I have been working so hard to create traditions around our house for Aidan.  I've also been working hard to make sure they are traditions that will be fun for a number of years and not lame traditions that I have to beg everyone to participate in. I don't know how long this one will last but we made our 4th annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch this year. 

Honestly, I have to tell you, it was the best year thus far because for the first time, Aidan knew what was going on and he was wicked excited to be riding on a trailer filled with hay, to a never ending field of orange pumpkin goodness. 

It was a little weird trying to celebrate the on set of the fall in almost 80 degree weather but we did our best and a good time was had by this little family of three.  We took the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch and the boys took off and I tried to keep up while snapping pictures to capture our family memories.  They picked the three prettiest pumpkins in the that patch {if I do say so myself} we stopped off to pet a few common farm animals and then hopped the hay ride back to the front of the farm where we forced Aidan to take pictures in front of the best pumpkin display on the side of any North Carolina highway. Just like we do every year. 

Here are the pictures to prove it all...lots of them.

 This is the main house on Carrigan Farms. As far as I know the family lives there currently.

 More pumpkins

 We call this picture the compromising position picture.  At this point Aidan was actually stuck in a split and started to cry.  I was dying laughing.

Happy Fall Y'all

Love,





Happy Anniversary To My Man

Adam,
  Today is the anniversary of the day you blessed me immensly by making me your wife.  It was such an amazing day, wasn't it? A beautiful wedding. I would have married you in the mud, in jeans, with no make up on. I just wanted to be yours so bad.

  When you asked me to marry you, I remember staring at that BIG ring in that little box and my life was flashing before my eyes.   I was seeing scenes from my childhood, a little freckle faced girl, dancing around dreaming about the man she would marry and suddenly I was just thanking God it was you.   Thanking Him for sending me such a strong, understanding, HANDSOME {who are we kidding you are the hottest man alive} giving, loving, loyal man.  Then I thanked him twice for letting us create our sweet Aidan together.

  You have changed my life. When I look at you, I can't believe I got so lucky. I love you more every time I lay eyes on you.  I am still excited everytime I hear your voice on the other end of the line, when you walk through the front door from work, when we reach a milestone in our relationship together. 
  If I could go back, I wouldn't change a thing.  Not a thing.  It all brought me to you.  Thank you for loving me and for being the man I always dreamt about.   Happy Anniversary Baby!!

My Love Always, April

All True Stories

This is the first time I have ever blogged from my Blackberry. It's really small but at least now I know it can be done. Loading pics from here does not look like an option.

Every night Adam and I stay up really, really late. Like 3 or 4 am late. We don't do much. Well except eat goldfish crackers and laugh about how cute Aidan is. Well maybe there's other stuff. Every night.

Last week I bought Cranberry Juice Cocktail and OJ and mixed them. Adam said it was gross and at least five times since then I have caught him drinking this little concoction.

I was a little disappointed to find out Sookie is a fairy on True Blood tonight. Lame.

School starts in exactly one week from today. I am dreading Aidan going back to school. I have enjoyed him so much this summer that I may do some research on home schooling. I said maybe.
