A tiny voice with BIG influence!

You really could have fooled me...to my mommy eyes it looked like Kaite was smearing her sticky marshmellow all over my nice clean kitchen. "Oh Kaite! No!" I say. To which her sweet little voice replies,

"I wash!"

Oh, good! Thank you so much! I always love to have my kitchen washed down with sticky little marshmellow sponges. :)

These are the moments that try my patience. Then there are the little moments like this...
Suddenly I am the marshmellow....
soft and sticky under the influence of her sweet little hands!

Linking up for Tiny Talk again.

The perfect pumpkin

It's becoming a tradition for our family to visit "The Berry Ranch" each fall in search of the perfect pumpkin. This is Kaite's 2nd trip and of course she loved it! We went a little earlier this year and it wasn't quite so cold. The tractor arrives at the old milk barn pulling the hay wagons and we all load up for the trip to the pumpkin patch.

They are allowed to select any pumpkin they wish, the only catch is that they have to be able to carry it themselves. :)

There are lots of fun farm spots for taking photos.

I even got my picture with the greatest guy. (He's the one on my right.) Haha.

Those pumpkins get heavy after a while and little legs get tired, that's when daddy comes to the rescue with a wheel barrow.

I think I may have mentioned before, that I love fall. Well, I do. It's a bit of a nostalgic season too though... one that makes you think of the seasons of life and causes you to slow down a bit and enjoy every minute. It's summertime now but soon life's fall and winter will arrive and these little ones will be leaving our nest to begin their own springtime.

Misc. Monday

Kammy with her horse named Bradey. Kammy is wearing a skirt that Grandma made her, and of course it has horses on it! I think this might be 'horse skirt' # 4?

She told me that, "Sewed skirts are the best kind!"

Kaite being silly.

Love this black and white of Kammy. The eyelashes are to die for!

I can't believe how fast they grow!

Maggie (cousin Jared's dog) and Kaite at GRandma's house. They are fast friends!

Kammy loves Maggie even more though!

Here is a pic of Kam and Mag taking a ride behind Papa!

All the grand-daughters doing Sunday dinner dishes for Grandma!

Playing wedding in Grandma's flower garden.
