Pumpkin Patch Fun!

Normally we hit the pumpkin patch a little later in October but this year it worked out perfectly that the cousins were off from school and so was Aunt M! I'm not a big fan of weekend trips to places like this because they are always so busy! So last Thursday we packed up and headed out to Chester's Party Barn! It was an hour long trip in the car but it was much more fun than anything closer to home. 

The boys got to ride on ponies!
Goose was really excited but I couldn't step away from him too long.

 They have an amazing petting zoo!
They were able to feed goats, sheep and chickens.
They were able to pet ponies, ducks and rabbits.


 We took a hay ride out to the maze. 
It was first a corn maze and then to a wood maze. 
At the end of the maze there was a big slide that the boys had a blast playing on!

 Goose was a little nervous about the slide but with big brother by his side he was ready to give it a try.
 Poor baby didn't quite get the end result of the slide that he wanted!


 And of course we had to get some great family photos at the end! 
What a fun time and great opportunity to get some super cute pictures!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
