Great Grandma Docter and the Herzog Grandkids. I LOVE this picture!

My dad at Wild Turkey at the Bourbon Festival in Bardstown.

This was another event filled weekend. I had lots of plans for the weekend since my dad is in town, so Zach thought it would be a good time to take the kids to visit his family. I was able to hang out with my parents all day Saturday. They treated me to an early Christmas present that I was in need of (thank you!!!!). Then, mom and I went to BJ's for a Steel Magnolia luncheon. The CF moms were glad to finally meet my mom. My dad and I spent the remainder of the afternoon trying to get my wireless printer working. It never worked, we went and got another. I ended up working on the printer until 1:30am. I took a short break to meet my parents and their friends visiting from Oklahoma for dinner. Then, spent 4 hours on the phone talking to a man from India. If you know me well, you know how frustrated I was! I had a migraine on top of it.....however, the printer now works!!! This morning, I got up bright and early to meet my parents and their friends for the Bourbon Festival in Bardstown. We went to the pancake breakfast where they had bourbon butter, syrup, and coffee. I do not like bourbon so I had the plain old stuff, but it smelled like bourbon. Then we went around all of the tents. I found a lady that has an awesome stand for displaying earrings and she is ordering me one. My favorite part was the food since I'm not a bourbon girl. I got fresh kettle corn and some cinnamon sugar almonds. Yum!!!!

The kids had a wonderful time at the Herzog's. Zach went golfing with his brother and dad. The boys went to a fire truck festival. Cameron said Trevor was sleeping and missed all of the trucks, but he and his cousin Sam went inside the trucks. He says it was fun. Great Grandma Docter came over today to see the kids. The picture of her with them is so sweet! Thanks for sending that Linda!!

Beautiful Weekend

Searching in the pumpkin patch while we waited for our tractor to come pick us up.

Another HUGE pumpkin.

Cheese-ball! I love it!

Trevor loved the little goat, so he sat down next to it smiling from ear to ear.

Apple at Hidden Hollow Orchard

Big weekend! My dad is in town for about two weeks. I will not be able to see him as much as I'd like since I have to work on the weekdays, but we were able to spend the day with him today. The only unfortunate part of today was that we could not be in Morehead to cheer on Zach for his triathalon. We left a hidden card in his car though to let him know we were thinking of him and he actually got home today before we even did. Beautiful weather for him this year though!!

So, our plan was to go to Hidden Hollow Orchard and then to Henry's Arc. However, the apple orchard didn't have any apples left because the weather made everything come in early this year. So, we decided we could just go out to Huber's as Dad and I wanted some of their seasonal wine anyway. So, Trevor had a nice nap on the way and when we got there we went into the petting zoo kids area. The kids fed a bunch of the animals. Trevor was not scared this time and loved feeding them! He loved petting them and hugging them (even the cement animals that were decoration). The kids went on the big slides and then we got lost in a huge corn maze. We never did find the end of it! Trevor was starving and pretty fussy, so we went straight to get lunch after the kids area. After lunch we headed over to take a tractor ride to go out and pick some apples. They are huge apples and taste great, we picked green delicious. The kids loved them. We did have a problem with them eating half and then throwing and getting a new one, but that's all part of it. It's a bit early for pumpkins, however, we did get one because it was the most perfectly shaped pumpkin and still on the stem. We also got a bunch of fresh bread and pumpkin muffin loafs as well as some pumpkin ice cream, yummy!

The kids both fell asleep on the way home and continued their naps when they got home. I've spent all day yesterday and now all night trying to fix my printer. We did everything we could think. My dad and I took it back, bought a new one and still can't get it to work. I've given up! Very frustrating. I don't know what we are going to do! Very tired, so I'd better go rest before the big week at work.

Labor Day Weekend

Cameron running around with the Jones kids.

This boy loves mowing the lawn. Probably won't as much when he gets older.

Before the U of L game.

Trevor has been going everywhere with these Mr. Potato Head glasses lately.

Trevor picked up this magazine and read all on his own. Zach was so proud!!

We had a fun filled weekend! Friday evening I was able to go out with the teachers I worked with last year. We saw that Drew Barrymore movie (which was way funnier than I had expected) and got dinner. It was very nice to see them and catch up! Then, Saturday we went over to hang out with a bunch of our friends in Louisville for the UK vs. U of L game. Sadly, U of L lost. :( The kids had a great time playing in the backyard and the weather was perfect for the day!! Sunday we choose to stay at the house and have a little down time with the family. The kids played at the house, we played outside, went on bike rides, the boys all took naps (including daddy) and I did a little school work. Trevor had a little accident, he fell out of his chair and his teeth cut his lip. It bled pretty bad, but a popsicle helped and stopped the bleeding. He has a bruise where it happened. Poor baby! Then Monday we played at the house some more and then went to the bluegrass festival to see Hog Operation play. It was such a nice day, the band was great, the kids could run and play, it was a really nice atmosphere. After the music, we went over to a friends house for some pizza and then got home pretty late. Unfortunately, that made for a rough morning this morning, both boys were really tired and a bit cranky! Hopefully they'll both catch up tonight and be good to go the rest of the week.
