More Pumpkin Fun!

We had fun at Sweetberry Farm today. The boys insisted we get more pumpkins since the 2 that we carved last weekend went bad already!! It was really hot outside, and I'm not just saying that because I am 7 1/2 months pregnant! But, the kids enjoyed the kid maze, pumpkin ice cream, and lots of picture taking!

Picking out Pumpkins

Alex and Aidan were so excited to pick out a pumpkin this year! :-) We still have a trip to Sweetberry Farms planned for the weekend!

Grandma and Grandpa Lerma's house

This is a picture of my Grandma and Grandpa's house. I've grown up going there for years. We've celebrated holidays including Christmas mornings, dying Easter eggs with Grandpa and grandma at Easter, watching the big Macy's Day parade on Thanksgiving morning....need I say more?? I stayed with Grandpa and Grandma for half a summer when I went to summer school and they took such good care. I can't tell you the wonderful memories that come to mind when I look at this house.

2 weeks ago I was at this house because my Grandpa passed away suddenly. He had an aneurism that took him with no warning. We were going to be celebrating his 80th birthday this Thanksgiving, it was just so hard to believe. I guess I am writing this because I miss my grandpa dearly and when I see this house I see him. My grandma is going to be coming home from the nursing home soon and an uncle is moving back to help take care of her in this home again. I can't believe that I will never see him standing outside waving goodbye anymore, but I will always have him in my heart.

Alex's Meet the Teacher Day

Alex was ready to go meet his new teachers Ms. Carla and Ms. Ana on his first day of STM Preschool.

He was finally over his rash that he'd gotten from his allergic reaction to amoxicillin. It looked terrible. I am so happy that he recovered!

Aidan's first day of Kindergarten!

Aidan had a great first day of kindergarten drop off this

morning. I can't believe my little guy is off to the big schools. I think that it really hasn't set in yet. The next 12 years are going to fly by I know it. I'm so proud of him. He was so excited to go in and play at his new classroom! Aidan had his orientation and meet the teacher last Thursday night. That is where he met Mrs. Brightly for the first time and took a picture with her. :-)

Jeremy and Alyssa's birthdays August 08

Jeremy and I celebrated our birthdays with a few friends at Volente Beach. It rained but that didn't stop us from having some fun! Aidan overcame his fears of the big tall slide and went down it with Jeremy. He was very brave!!

August trip to Atlanta 08

August has been a BUSY month for us!! Aidan, Alex, and I went to Atlanta for a week. We went to a Braves Game, Six Flags, the zoo, the boys learned to play guitar with Uncle Arthur and the boys just had an overall fun visit. Aidan and Alex had some great bonding time with Gammy!
