Gator’s and funny faces

We gave the boys their Christmas present early.

Have I mentioned I am not a patient person?

I had a practical sounding reason for not waiting this time though! I thought they might have more fun with it now.

What if it snowed?

It only snows a couple times a year in Oklahoma but that is not relivent.

gatorridingThis thing has been awesome! The boys will ride it for hours!

And I get to take pictures of both of them right next to each other.

Or so I thought.

gatorfunnyfaceI do not know where he got the Elvis lip from!

Really! I did not teach him that.

funnygator2This made me laugh so hard!

That’s what I get for wanting a “normal” picture.

Happy early birthday to me!

My husband got my birthday present in the mail! My birthday is not until November 11th(eleven, eleven it’s easy to remember), so this made me a little worried he would decide to not let me know what it was or have at until then!

Patience is not one of my strengths.

I was at the computer in the dining room and he decided to open the package in our living room(just a few feet away). “Don’t look” he said.

Is he kidding?

I am good so I did not look.

Then I start hearing this, “WOW, it is a lot heavier then I thought.” and “I wonder how this works” I started yelling that I was going to look if he did not cut it out!

Then he said, “I guess I could give it to you now but then you would not have anything to open for your birthday.”

“That is okay, we are going hiking for my birthday.” I was trying to sound all calm but I really wanted to have my gift NOW!

Did I mention I am horrible at waiting(pregnancy was not fun for me, 9months of waiting!)?

So finally he brings over a card reader and sets it in front of me. “Here you go.”

Then then a little bit later he asks for my camera, still not letting me see what else he got.

Then he said, “smile”! While taking a picture of me with my new lens!!!

I was jumping up and down and squealing!

What can I say? I like camera equipment!

The only problem was that it was nap time and all my subjects were asleep.

It was the first time I was happy when one of them woke up early!

It had nothing to do with the fact I kept going in their room.

I got to have some fun while hiking this morning! hikingwithnewlensFor all the camera buff’s out there. It is a 50mm 1.4!

I am in love.

The end.

Pumpkin Patch

I will admit it, I have NEVER been to a…pumpkin patch! Gasp!

It is shocking I know. I went with my local MOPS group and was pretty impressed. They had lots of animals for the boys to pet and shocking as it is they had lots of pumpkins.

They had other things to do like Pony rides, food to give the animals, and a corn maze.

I am a cheap skate so the only thing I paid for was a wagon ride for the boys. And I only said yes to that because I was using it to encourage good behavior. Some might call it bribery, I call it self preservation.
