The Pumpkin Patch!

Michael and I are very excited about Halloween this year because we haven't been to the Pumpkin Patch in years and now we have a good excuse! We went to one about 30 minutes from our house at Remlinger Farm's with our good friends (and neighbor's) who's baby, Sydney, is the same age as Clover. I don't know what was in the air that day, but both girls were less than amused. Sydney was tired....Clover was cranky.....we made the best of it and still managed to snap a few good pictures. Just to give you an idea though, at one point the girls had a cry off while we tried to get a picture of them in front of the corn maze. The adults enjoyed it and we even got a kick out of the whole crying fiasco as we caught it on video tape....I know, we're sick.

Happy girl at the beginning.

Trying to turn Sydney's frown upside down :)

Christy and Sydney...at least one of them was happy!

Success....we managed to snap a good family picture without the binky!

This is the cry off in full swing, haha.

She doesn't look amused

Trying for another family picture, but it wasn't working out.

Finally, one more good smile before we completely lost her and decided to head home.


Courtesy of Grandpa, here's a video of Clover and Sydney's visit to the the pumpkin patch.

Clover's first plane trip

My Mom and I took Clover on her first plane trip to meet her Great Grandma and Grandad in Lee's Summit, Missouri. I was a little nervous about how she would behave on the plane, but I was pleasantly surprised! We booked a direct flight and Clover feel asleep during take off both ways. When she woke up she was happy and didn't fuss at all the rest of the way.
We had a great time. Clover got spoiled of course by her Great Grandma and Grandad. She was greeted with new books, stuffed animals, and all the blueberries she could eat! In return, Clover happily provided endless entertainment for everyone :)

Helping Mommy pack up the suitcase!

I loved the big airport windows where I could see all the planes outside.

Everything was new and very exciting!

Playing with Grandma and the new toy she bought me for the plane ride.


Catching a little shut eye before meeting Great Grandma and Grandad. Mommy loves to snuggle with me when I'm sleeping :)

Great Grandma bought me new books and we spent a lot of time reading them together.

Hanging out with Great Grandad

Wearing my new Tinkerbell backpack from Great Grandma and Grandad's neighbors Kirk and Linda.

Playing Peek-A-Boo. We did a lot of this because it's my favorite game, and Great Grandma will spend all day paying if I want her too :)

My first picture will all four generations of "Ann's" Jane Ann, Margaret Ann, Megan Elizabeth Ann, and Clover Ann

Posing for another picture before we head off to McCormick and Schmick's for Sunday brunch.

On my Great Grandad's lap playing with one of my favorite toys of the weekend.....measuring spoons!

Great Aunt Janet reading me the lady bug book she bought me.

Stilling playing with the measuring spoons....Mommy should really think about saving up to buy some of these!


If you still haven't had enough, here are the video's we took of Clover with G. Grandma and Gran'dad.
