Last Weekend

Last Sunday was my adorable little niece Khloe's blessing. She had the cutest dress in the world, but of course I never got a picture of it. :( However, I did get a picture of Kylie. Kylie who is also my niece, is holding 10 inches of her hair in this picture! My sweet Kylie wanted to cut off all of her long hair to send it into Locks of Love. For those of you who don't know what Lock's of Love is it is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. (So I didn't type all of that up, I copied it from their website.) Anyways, I just wanted to include this on my blog because I thought Kylie was being a wonderful example by doing this. Way to go Ky! Earlier that weekend we went with Gabe's parents to the pumpkin festival in Queen Creek. Even though it was pretty hot, we still had a lot of fun. The first ride we tried to get Caden on was the airplanes. He was all for it until he realized we couldn't go with him. So here he is having a grand ol' time.

So while Caden was not too keen on the scary airplanes he was all about the roller coaster! I couldn't believe he really wanted to go on it. So we stood in line with him fully aware that last minute he would back out. Bu he actually went on it and loved it! His smile was priceless! I wish I could have captured it on camera. He even wanted to go again! However, Gabe and I did find it rather funny that he would go on a roller coaster, but not an airplane. Got to love that kid!

There were so many things to do on the farm. Here is the Boys (Gabe, Caden, & Tata) doing a ball toss.

After that we went on a hay ride through some of the farm. One of the stops was seeing this group of deer. In the middle of the picture was the male deer. He was surrounded by all female deer. And whenever a male deer came close to the females he made the loudest noise to make them back off. It was the most amusing thing to witness. He just sat amongst the women while the male deers were further off. If one of the female deer got near a male deer he did the weird belching noise again. It was very interesting to say the least.

Lastly, they did a pig show. They let kids choice who they wanted to win, and then they had the pigs do a quick race around a half circle. It was pretty funny!
