Pumpkin Hunting

We took the kids out to Sweet Berry Farms to go pumpkin hunting this past weekend. It was a beautiful fall day in Texas and I had been waiting to take the kids out there. There is nothing better than being out in the country hunting for pumpkins and doing all things fall-y. 

We packed a picnic and then partook of all the glorious fall activities. We hunted for the perfect pumpkin...


Ran through the corn maze...


Picked some beautiful flowers...


Made a handsome friend...


And of course, we couldn't resist being a little silly...


All in all, I'd say we definitely had a lot of fun! Hope you all had a great weekend!

Maddy Day

This is Maddy. AKA maddy moo, sweet puppy girl, my best puppy pal... you get the picture. :) 


Maddy is the first dog I've had and to say I'm in love is an understatement. We've been together for almost 7 years and I just love her to pieces. I mean, come on! Look at that sweet face! And she has the personality to match. 

For a while it was just Maddy and me, but I married into a family of 3 so the days of just me and Maddy are a rare treat that only come when I get a day off from the day-job. Today is one of those days and we are both in heaven. 



We have been doing some well-deserved lazying around the house, but we also spent part of the morning enjoying the beautiful weather outside on a blanket. It's slowly turning to fall in Texas. I'll admit it's hard to tell when it's still gets to 90 degrees by the afternoon, but if you close your eyes and pay close attention you can feel that the breeze is just a little bit cooler as it passes over your skin. Just hinting at the months to come. Promising me pumpkins and spiced lattes. *sigh*

So Maddy and I spent some time enjoying the morning, lazying on a blanket, listening to the birds and feeling the breeze. Being a little nostalgic of all the times we've done this in the past and wishing for fall to hurry up. And there may have been some playing thrown in.
