We celebrated Kinsey's birthday. We went to the Olive Garden for dinner. She's getting old!
My dad has come to visit for 3 weeks. It's been interesting to say the least. He's pretty much just slept and watched tv the whole time. (I don't have him as a reader on here so I can vent freely...)
He literally slept for the first 4 days he was here. He sleeps til at least 3pm everyday unless we have something to do, then I have to wake him up... like I'm his parent. It's rather annoying. Or he spends his time in the room he's staying in (the playroom) watching tv. He has taken over our DVR with all his shows! I guess I just don't understand the point in visiting if you're not even going to spend time with us....
Matty had his October break. I seriously, totally understand why my mom couldn't wait for us to go back to school when we had breaks. He has so much energy and he NEEDS school to help him get some of it out. So he went back this past Monday. This year I think is better than last year for him. He only has 5 students in his class so far this year. This time last year his class had about 15 students. So this year he's getting more attention which I know helps him.
We took a mini trip up to Tonto Natural Bridge last week. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to hike down to the actual cave under the bridge but we did enjoy the time we did have to take some pictures and enjoy the weather.
We went to the Pumpkin Patch this week with the kids and my mom. We got to take a hay ride, feed the cows and goats, pick a pumpkin, decorate the pumpkin, walk through the maze, and attempt the bounce house. I think Matthew enjoyed it the most. I had fun feeding the animals.
Yesterday my Aunt Jo stopped by. It was nice to see her and catch up. She has been working on a diaper bag/purse for me and she finished it so she brought it by. It is seriously so cute and so wonderful!! I have all the same stuff in it that I had in my previous purse but I swear this bag is 5 pounds lighter!! Its so nice! Thanks again Aunt Jo!

We also went mini golfing yesterday with my dad. (yes he got out of bed for it)
Matty had a total blast and he was pretty dang good. I was surprised how good Kourtney was for being stuck in her stroller for almost 2 hours.
Miss Kourtney is growing so fast! She is talking more and more. Some of the words she says are:
mommy
daddy
don't do that
i know
apple
book
shoe
sock
drink
uncle steve
papa
grandma
bye bye
nose
mouth
eye
ear
binky
and lots more.
I carved my first pumpkin last night. I think it turned out pretty good considering it is my first. I don't know if it'll last until Halloween but it looks nice for now. Boy, that is one messy project!!
That's all for now.
I'm waiting for Matty's teacher to visit this morning. Hopefully she comes soon because I need a nap!!
Til next time!
