pumpkin patch 2012

we had our traditional visit to the johnson's farm pumpkin patch and our friend's the baker's joined us! isabel and jaxon absolutely love their children addi and tate... the 4 of them had a blast! the kids started the day playing in the giant tunnels, visiting the farm animal's, and with the hay bale maze.

after hitting all of the pre-pumpkin patch highlights we hopped on board the wagon and rode out to the pumpkin patch. we both grabbed our wheel barrows and headed to the fields to find the best gourds and pumpkins.

our adventure ended with a wheelbarrow race between anson and hector! did i mention that they had 400 pounds of pumpkins between the 2 of them!

11 months!

Sporting KC

i believe that the only perk to hector working for kc hoops is that we occasionally get AMAZING tickets to kansas city sporting events. on this particular evening we were able to have 5th row seats to the sporting kc game. the little's favorite part of the game were the coozies and nachos... and of course the sporting kc victory!

Dinner at Stroud's

this evening we had a little family outing to stroud's north and it was buy delicioso! it was nice to spend an evening with grandma, uncle bradley, the ferbezar's, and the ammerman's... we had plenty of time to visit during our 120 minute wait. but, the gizzards and fried chicken were well worth the wait.

A trip to the zoo

what i love most about having a friends of the zoo membership is that we can make a trip to the zoo simply to ride the carousel and the train! i'm confident that jax's favorite thing to do at the zoo is ride the choo choo, i'm not even sure he realizes that there are animals there!

A Sneak Peek at Violet's ONE year pictures!

i have been a horrific blogger the past two months and i haven't shared any of the milestones or fun stuff the littles have been doing. sit back and be prepared to be inundated with lopez family fun!

first up is a sneak peek at violet's ONE YEAR pictures courtesy of Only Young Once. i still can't believe that our sweet violet has been a part of our family for a year... we all simply adore the little love bug.
