While the Boy is away...the Girls do PLAY!!

What a wonderful Phoenix weekend. The weather is trying to cool off and Tim was able to get away with some friends to a cabin in the mountains for the weekend. But that doesn't mean the party has to stop for the rest of us.

Friday night, Hayley and the boys came over for dinner as well as Karyn and Colleen. We had pizza and watched Little Einsteins. Hayley and the boys left and the girls were off to sleep. Karyn, Colleen and I had a little time to talk, try the pumpkin ice cream, and watch TV before we were off to bed ourselves. We also had a little fun with the camera.

Don't you love Karyn's earrings?!?!?



My Girls



Karyn brought some movies for us to watch. She knows I don't like these two, but brought them anyway. I hid them in the drawer until they were leaving!



Thank you ladies for being understanding that I have little ones and coming to spend time with me. Thanks for loving me and for loving the girls. I had a great time. We will do it again soon!


The next morning, (Saturday) we were off to "make memories" with Hayley, Tyler, Braden, and Yale at Schnepf Farms in Queen Creek. Hayley and I both want to have things/traditions that we do with the kids each year, so that they have fun memories to grow up with. We wanted to have things that go along with the seasons (not that we really have seasons) or just events throughout the year. So, off to the pumpkin patch we went...in the just under 90 degree weather. (People in Arizona are so funny. They want so badly for it to be cold. We think if we dress warm, it will be cold outside. There were kids in long sleeves, jeans, with beanies on. It doesn't work...it is still hot!)

Welcome to Schnepf Farms



We were on a mission, to see the pumpkins, build memories, and have fun. When we arrived, Braden was driving a John Deere Tractor. (Somehow, I didn't get a picture of that. Sorry Braden) He thought that was really cool. Gracie and Yale were playing with the pumpkins.





Tyler took Braden on the train. He was such a big boy and loved every minute of it.



Hayley took Gracie and my picture.



And Reagan was happy in her seat!



Here is a picture of our happy campers. Both of whom would have loved a nap right about now.



After the train ride it was off to the pumpkin patch! This is what I was waiting for. Gracie had her photo session first.









Then it was Reagan's turn. (Hopefully next year we can do it together!)











All the girls at the farm!



Then it was time to go...



Ok, one last photo!



I would like to say...




THANK YOU to Hayley, Tyler, Braden, and Yale for allowing us to go with you to Schnepf Farms. We had a wonderful time and look forward to making more memories next year (with Tim next time) Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for wonderful memories. We love you.



Saturday Night! The girls and I headed to Amy's house to hang out with some of the other wives whose husbands are up in the mountains with Tim. We had dinner, played, and headed home to drift off to dreamland. (Gracie didn't get a much needed nap today. Too many exciting things to do!) Dinner, playing, more playing. That's what the night held.

Thank you ladies for hanging and playing with my sleepy babies. Love you girls! (Somehow I left without pictures of the twins! What was I thinking!!!)

Me, Kristin, Sarah, Amy
