Hee Haw

Last Saturday we went to Hee Haw farms to do a corn maze and pick out our pumpkins. I was not feeling very well, but decided to go anyway. We were able to go on a hayride, slide down a big slide, shoot a corn cannon, pet animals, and much more. We had fun in the corn maze but we did get a little lost and finally found our way back out the entrance, but at that point we did not care, we were out! It was fun, but I was worn out by the end.


We saw the biggest pig ever. I think it weighed about 1200 pounds.

Erika's Wedding

So I have a lot of catching up to do because I have not be very good at posting lately. On October 11 my oldest sister got married. We are very excited for her and Jared and it is also the last wedding on my side of the family. They got married in portland, OR. Since we had just been there for our family reunion we decided that it would be cheaper if just Nate, Chloe and I flew out and left Kaelynn and Hailey here. Luckily Nate's sister Ali was able to watch our girls for the weekend. This was the first time that we have ever left them. Thank you Ali!!

It was a very quick trip for us. We flew in friday night, the wedding was on Saturday and we flew home on Sunday. The wedding went well and the reception was very nice. Congratulations Erika and Jared!!



Nate and I realized how nice it was to take a trip with out the kids. We are going to have to do that more often.

Hailey's ears

It has been awhile since I have had time to post anything. Hailey had tubes in her ears when she was about 18 months old. For those who knew us then know that we had a lot of problem with what is normally a simple surgery. She had to have tubes put in 3 times before they worked, and they put in a more permanent tube that does not fall out. The down side to that was that she needed to have them removed after 2 years, which was this year. So for the fourth time now she had surgery again. This time things went well, and they patched the holes in her ear and wait for them to heal. We followed up with the ENT and found out that one of her holes has not completely closed and so if it is not closed by december (our next appointment) she will need another surgery. We are hoping that by some miracle she will not need it.

On a lighter note we also got her ears pierced. She was very brave and did a good job. She picked out her own earrings and is loving them.
