This year...

My sweet Collin bug

as you grow bigger, 

so does my love for you!

Collin and I have taken a candid photo in front of the Apple Charlie's truck at the apple orchard every single year.  Our trip this year was impromptu and I was dead set on not being caught in a single photograph due to the fact that I looked like a rag doll.  

Ryan wouldn't allow it, after all, it's a tradition.  

He was right, and I was glad we got it.

Memories are about the people who are in them,

who cares if you are having a bad hair day!

A year ago...

A whole year later,

you're still deep in thought...

and just as adorably delicious!

You most certainly are the BEST pumpkin in the patch!

Ol' Blue

A post all of it's own because this was my favorite picture taken at the patch,

totally unprompted, the kids did this all on their own which makes it all the more sweet!

Bird's Pumpkin Patch

We have a pumpkin patch tradition.  We have gone every year since Collin was born.  It is one of my all time favorite traditions and I look forward to it every year!!  We took the kids today and had such a fun time!  I had deliciously adorable pumpkin patch outfits picked out and neither of them involved a jacket.  Today was chilly so we had to pass on the outfits.  Clearly my children didn't care!
I took a ridiculous amount of pictures and I will post them over the next few days...

Get Well Wishes...

Today one of the girls from our school social committee brought this gift to my classroom with a card attached for Madelyn.  It was a get well gift from when she was sick in the hospital.  Such a sweet gesture, this mommy had to hold back tears.  Sometimes it's the simple things in life that make us feel so loved...

She was delighted!

Be kind to me,

my heart thanks you...

Be kind to my children,

my heart is yours!
