Pumpkin Patch

We always look forward to going to the pumpkin patch every year. I love Fall, even though it never really feels like it in California :) I can't wait until we can live somewhere where it is cold and crisp outside for Halloween! I told Chase, maybe this time next year or the year after we will be at a pumpkin patch and it will be cold....

Our little one loved the pumpkin patch.... We met up with my sister and my neices and nephew. Also our friends Syndee and her kids showed up. It was hot! That part was not fun but the petting zoo, the corn maze, the bungee jumpy, and the mini warm doughnuts were a hit! Now we are ready for Halloween this weekend.

What a week!

This has been a scary week. Saturday while at Sam's club getting food for Chris's party, Chase told me that he was freezing. I felt him and he was burning up! We came home had him rest while we decorated for the party. We had the party which was really fun by the way. Chris had so much attention on him he felt a little uneasy. He actually started to gag himself while everyone was singing to him :( It was so overwhelming for him to have all of those people looking at him and singing.
He really loved all of his presents. He loved the bouncy that we got for him for the day. He jumped in it all day long! I hope that he remembers that day for a long time. His mom called yesterday which was a actual birthday, she was crying that she could not be with her son on his birthday. I felt so bad for her being a mother myself....

As for Chase he has been sick all week with a fever and a cough. His fever has not got to high thank God. The scary thing is that he only has 80 students in his whole school and over 1/3 of them were out sick. They decided to close the school down for the whole week.... Two children confirmed having the Swine flu!!! That is so scary for those children and my own. I have been praying and praying that we will all be ok. Chase seems to be feeling better but still has a low grade fever. I am trying to find somewhere that I can get him the swine flu vaccine.

Birthday weekend

I have not blogged in so long, I wanted to start again so here I am! This weekend is our little one's 3rd birthday. He has never had a birthday party :(... We wanted to throw him one, we can't wait to see how he reacts to all of the people here just for him. We got him a bouncy house and a cotton candy machine! It should be a fun day for him and the other kids.

It is still hot out here in the desert. I'm so over it, I really can't wait until it cools down! I love fall but out here it does not feel like it at all. I have all of my fun Halloween decorations up, that is fun ofcourse but if it were a little cooler it would feel more like the holiday.

We lost our teenager a few weeks ago. It was very sad to see him go. We could not be everything that he needed. I hope that we planted a seed with him. It breaks my heart so much to see what these kids go through. It really makes you appreciate where you come from. I had the perfect childhood. I can only imagine the sadness that these kids must feel. I hope that we are doing a good job :)

I will try to post more often. I hope that you all have a blessed weekend!
