Pooley's Pumpkin Patch

Stop the presses! Two posts in a week?! I know, I know. I figure I might as well get these pics out here before it's December and no longer relevent. We visited this nice little patch in Bennington, NE yesterday. A longer drive than Roca, but I think for Harper it was the perfect place. They had a few animals--Harper had a death grip on an unsuspecting chick, some bunnies, pigs, goats, sheep and ponies and a corn silo, which she loved. Daddy vetoed the pony rides, and she was not happy. Luckily we offered her snacks instead and she got over it fairly quickly. Enjoy the pics!

Checking out the chicks

Erich explaining why we don't squeeze their necks

Harper trying to pick a pet

Gentle touches was our phrase of the day

Corn Maze!

She led us through about halfway then wanted to be carried

Bunnies!

She was giving it a "hug"

Asking strangers to pick up bunnies for her

Weird pig thing

Real piggies!

Feeding the sheep

She did smile, I swear.

Fail

Our little pumpkin

She HATED this swing

Pumpkin patches are bor-ring.

Then she was stuck there

Our stylin pink tiger.

Awwww

Driving the safe looking tractor

I got this Dad.

Erich had to try it out

Throwing corn around

Whoa!

Right before I got corn in my face. Her way of saying, Stop taking my picture Mom!

Erich's punishment for trying to throw corn down my shirt, and pelting me in the face in the process.

Action shot, hey look at me I'm standing on this ledge!

Hey, I'm over the ledge, look at me!

Hey, hey guys? Hey? I fell, can someone help me up?

Feeding chickens

This little boy was sharing his corn

Aaaaaaaaaaand, end scene.

Booker's First Birthday

While he didn't get to go to Disneyworld with us, he did get a pretty high flyin' party. I may have gone a leeetle overboard with the party. But hey, you only turn once right, and he may be my last :( Our theme was, Time Flies, and we used my Uncle's vintage toy plane for the invites. Pretty cute kiddo. It was also pre haircut, so he still looked like a baby. Of course I can't find that picture, so here is this one. He's still cute. Just a small party with family, and he had a great time. He has already changed so much since this day. He was just starting to make words and now can say Mama, Dada, Harper, Abs, Dude, and a lot of signs. He also loves to dance, and is seriously the most cuddly sweet boy you will meet. We love our little Bubba!

September is here!

Well, it's practically here. Where did August go? Where did the summer weather go? I don't care, it's Fall weather here in Nebraska and I hope it's going to stay well into November. Ahh, September, it's my favorite month...and not just because it's my birthday month 29 on the 9th, it's kind of a golden birthday-9/9/09, so that means extra gifts, right? Right. We are very busy this month. This weekend is the first Husker game of the season, so my mom and I are getting out of dodge to visit my sister (I am displeased to learn that my brother in law is renting the game, I can't escape it!). We're going to a pirate festival, and a carnival, and to this awesome little kitchen store in downtown Independence. So excited for family fun. My nephew told me I can sleep in his bed, but only if I wear underwear...um, deal? Erich has many options that weekend, we have an engagement party in York, going to the game, watching the game...who knows how crazy he'll...

Harper Jay Kant has arrived!

The wait is over! On June 9th, at 5:40 pm, Harper Jay Kant entered the world, weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces and measuring 20.5 inches long! I am so happy to have her in my arms, as is Erich. During the pregnancy, I made the comment on multiple occasions that I bed I'd pay for it during labor, and boy did I...and so the story goes: Tuesday I began having contractions around noon, but nothing that was progressive or in any order, so we decided to just keep our plan to go in at 7:30 to be induced. I was admitted around 8, and the "ripening" agent was started. I was checked around 12 and had progressed enough to warrant starting the Pitocin (around 1). Contractions began, but I really couldn't feel much; it was a long night and I was too excited to sleep (especially after the nurse commented that with these contractions I could be pushing by 7 that morning...I knew it was too good to be true) so I spent the evening with the Lost crew from Season 2, and waking Erich ...

Keeping up with the Kants
