We Found the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown…

We went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday and found the great pumpkin!  It was great pumpkin patch weather and even though it was a little muddy {huge understatement!} we had a great time!

We took our pictures by the pumpkins and…

And Count Our Blessings…We Will!

One of our friend’s daughters, Scout, knows her pledge and her mom posted it on their blog which inspired me to get out our video camera!  Sarah has learned so much at her school.  So, with that said, here is Sarah saying the Pledge of Allegiance, singing My Country Tis Of Thee, and saying her blessing that she says at school.  Apparently right after they say he Pledge, they sing! 

You may not be able to understand her prayer, so here are the words if you would like to follow along…

Make sure you silence our blog music at the end of our page so that you can hear her. 

God our Father, God our Father

Once Again, Once Again

We will count our blessings, We will count our blessings

{She added here count our blessings, count our blessings} 

Amen, Amen

And Count Our Blessings…We Will!

Medallions and Chest Hair

We went to the Arboretum on Saturday with our photographer.  Her work is amazing and every time we get together with her, we have a blast.  I have no idea how we got on the subject of medallions and chest hair, but we did, and we laughed the morning away.  Thank you Dee for a wonderful time and your teasers {click here to see them} are great!

I in iphone does not stand for ice

So on Friday, Carson decided that the i in iphone stands for iceSince he is learning his letters and all…

Carson and I picked Sarah up from school and Sarah went to the fence to tell her friends goodbye.  Since I was close to the car, I put Carson in the car {for a minute} and went back to get Sarah.  I buckled both children in and went around to the driver’s door and saw my large cup of

used to be iced tea

turned over.  As I opened the door, I saw my phone floating in the tea in the middle console.  {Before I went into the school to get Sarah, my phone was charging in the console of my car where it always is and my large iced tea was sitting comfortably in the cup holder.}

I panicked, grabbed the phone and it was toast!  When I got home, I tried putting it in a bowl of rice to try to dry it out…no such luck, but they said at ATT and Apple that sometimes it works.  In my panicked and crying state, I went to the Apple Store in Willow Bend and Ryan hooked me {way better than my warranty} and replaced my phone for free. 

Thank You Ryan…you were really n-ice
