Schnepf Farms

It is that time again where the weather is   Somewhat cooler and there are fun things to do for the season. Every year we go to the Farm and this year was one of the funnest, it was probably the coolest time we have ever been. During the day Ang and Maddux met us there and then that night my mom, dad, Colin, Heather, Coen and Stephen joined us. I kept telling everyone about the wonderful Pumpkin donuts they had last time and my dad was so excited, turns out they were in the process of getting a new machine and so they did not have any. So sad, I had been looking forward to them all year.

Pumpkin Pictures

One of my favorite pics of all time is of Little P in the Pumpkin. I have always wanted to do a picture like this but both my boys were either to big or too small around Halloween time. Presley is the perfect size. So I gave it a shot. Sorry for so many pics these are my fav.'s but I took about 10 times more than this. 


Our first attempt
trying the binkie , didn't work so we took her in and fed her.












3 Months



High Maintenance Presley! Well I should have known, my boys were such EASY babies, I guess it is only fair that with my girl it got hard. Now having 3 is already a huge adjustment. Where I had tons of free time before, now I am lucky if I get to take a shower. Now I am not saying she is a horrible baby just that she requires constant attention or else the screaming starts. I love her dearly and she sleeps pretty good at night but the days are hard. Sometimes I get so stressed out and am so thankful for the relief when Stephen comes home. My girl is also CONSTANTLY spitting up most of her meal, so changing outfits 3 times a day is typical. For awhile we thought she had colic, then acid reflux but it turns out just some old fashioned High Maintenance. The other day my cousin Carol told me that her little girl would spit up a ton too, so she tried feeding her less and no more spit ups. So I tried that and for the past 2 days we are going on NO spit ups! I am thinking that she was just Overeating herself to the point of too full ( just like her mom) and she couldn't handle it so she would throw it all up. Hopefully this is actually the cause and we have fixed the problem. She is even starting to seem more happy. Though she may like to be constantly held and attended to she is so happy when you are talking to her and she loves to smile and laugh back, especially when her brothers are around her, and they always are fussing over her and treating her so very good. She is one lucky little girl. 

Bunko


One thing I look forward to every month is BUNKO! I have the best group and the best time. What is better than a night with the girls eating great food, playing games (Loudly I might add thanks to those Tyler Girls) and sometimes winning a Fabulous prize! My kid also love it because when mommy's away the Boys will Play! Movies, Frozen Pizza, Chocolate Milk and Sleeping in Mom and Dad's bed. For our last Bunko it was Halloween and we got to dress up, I borrowed Suzie's old costume Hannah Montana. That wig itched like crazy! We had some great costumes. Jill- Ugly Betty, Leah- John McCAin Classic! Juliette- Sarah Palin, Michelle- Herself 15 yrs. ago

Heritage

This past Heritage night was S & J's B-day month so they both got their birthday bags and did the Money Grab. J has been waiting for this for months. Stephen is the one who does it and of course right before his "Grab" he put a TON of gold dollars in it. Plus he did not have anyone pound his hand so he of course got the most! Only Stephen, then we had some wrestling wars.




Fun with Shaving Cream

I have to say I love blogs for many reasons but one of them is all the great ideas I get from reading them. They seem to be helping me become a more Fun mom. I saw this idea on of course someone's blog. Just some shaving cream, a poster board and 2 crazy kids.








Free Halloween

The other day we decided to hit up some FREE Halloween Festivities. Which we are all about. First was Superstition Farm, it was a pretty hot day but luckily they were giving out FREE milk which is all J wanted (Chocolate Milk that is ). Kate, Angie and Chantel met us there. Luckily since my stroller would not go over the rocks. I am always so thankful for friends at times like this, when going to any place with 3 kids. I feel I could never do it by myself. Though there wasn't too much to do there the kids still seemed to have fun. Later that night we went to Main St., every 2nd Friday of the month they have something and this one was all about Halloween the kids dressed up and even got to do some Trick or Treating, it was pretty fun especially running into all of our friends there.
