Tate Farms Cotton Pickin Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Cotton Pickin' Pumpkin Patch at

Tate Farmslast Saturday and we had a blast.
We rode on a hay ride to get to the pumpkins and then you can pick your own pumpkin.

We decided not to get one since I had already bought one at the store.

We did however take TONS of pics of JM in the patch.

I found one, Mom!!!

My Pumpkin!

Two cool Dudes!

JM and the Llama

JM and the sleeping goats

The pigs that snotted JM's shoes
they were dirty pigs :)

This is where the rabbit almost jumped outta

J's hands cause JM was holding it so tight.

Just a swinggin'...I really don't like that song.

This gourd looked like a swan.

I love the ugly gouds/squash/thingys.

Apple gourds, I like these, they were neat looking.

Mini pumpkins!!!!!

JM in the corn crib.

Not as comfy as you would think...

Mom and JM in the cotton

Now this is comfy...maybe a little itchy.

Two cool dudes again!! They seem to follow me where ever I go...

maybe its because I keep feeding them ;)

A 2 headed scarecrow!!!

Gotta have a pic of the guys and the firetruck...

and the tractor.

Time to go!!

By the time we got home JM was passed out!

We had tons of fun at Tate Farms.

Roll TideRoll!!!

JM loved the Alabama shaker. Everytime he "shook" it he laughed at it.

Roll Tide!!!!

More pics

Here's more pics as promised....

My little blue eyes.
All I did was make the pic b&w and make the blue show through.
That is the color his eyes were in the original pic.

Hanging with Dad on the couch, look at that belly peeking out!

Ready for food!!!

Play time turned into nap time

Little Carhart overalls...so he can be like Dad!


JM's Christmas outfit...note Santa's feet in the chimney.


JM's Halloween costume...lets hope he'll still fit in it by then.

Tummy time with the Hungry Catapiller...

"Uh, mom I think we're done here"

Uncle J and JM. Uncle J does the best blast off with the jumparoo.

Watching UA beat Ole Miss...ROLL TIDE!!!

Catching up

I know, I know, its been a while. We've been having so much fun here lately that I havent found the time to blog. JM is doing something new everyday it seems.
He loves food now, more goes in and stays in his mouth than what comes out! He eats carrots, avacode, apples, bananas, rice cereal, and next he'll try peas. Its funny when he eats he lunges for the spoon with his mouth open. Sometimes it's like I can't feed him fast enough! I have decided that instead of using a bib when he eats, I just strip him down to his diaper and feed him. Makes for an easy clean up.

The aftermath of the avacado.

Who you talking to ??me??

Roll Tide!! (he's in his game day getup) You can also see his 2 bottom teeth in this photo.

He loves this monkey Crazy Aunt J gave him. He can be crying and we'll walk over to the monkey and he'll start laughing at it!

That leads me to the next fun thing...laughing. Its so funny to hear him laugh. I mean he'll get so tickled at stuff! J's mom gave him an Alabama shaker to hold the other day and he would move his hand and then laugh cause the shaker moved too. I'll post the video, its too cute!

JM had a BIG week and weekend. First my mom came up to keep him Tues-Thurs while our sitter was out of town, then Fri J's parents came up and stayed until Sun. We also had a group of Scrambler owners in the southeast (and Kansas) come in to town to go ride. Sat they all came over for dinner. Mr S and Mrs S occupied JM while I finished cooking. I really need to be better about taking peoples pics with JM. JM thought Mr S was really funny, he'd laugh at everything he did. On Sun and Mon JM took 3 long naps, usually its just 2 hour long naps. I think he was wore out!

This coming weekend we're going to the pumpkin patch at Tate Farms. I'm debating on taking JM's halloween costume with us for some pics. He's going to be a Chili Pepper, as long as the costume still fits then :) He's growing like a weed!!

I'll be posting more pics in the coming days.
