Our trip to the pumpkin patch

We took Ashley to the Nelson's Pumpkin patch for her first trip to get pumpkins. We had such fun going through the corn maze and playing basketball with pumpkins. Ashley loved the chance to sit on the monster pumpkin.

We got a new car!

Well we finally did it. Now that we are expecting a little one in January we finally decided it might be a good idea to upgrade to a bigger vehicle. We finally decided on the Toyota Rav4 and really like it. The dealer made us a decent deal, got us a good interest rate and sent us away with happy faces. We were contemplating between a mini van and a suv and decided that the mini van we were eyeing was stretching our budget a little too thin so we opted for the suv. I think we are pretty happy, now I just have to get used to driving an automatic again....

Alright Ellen, Here is your picture. Ours is white but otherwise looks the same. It's a 2007 and drives so nice. I was nervous to take it out on highway 2 (cause I'm a nut) but I did it tonight and oh my it drives so nice. It's the base model with a few additions such as 17 inch alloy wheels, roof rack. But it has all the safety features that Toyota is known for like traction control, ABS, and LSD (no not the drug:)) Plus side, curtain, and front airbags. We were sick of feeling like we were driving in a tin can in both of our compact cars. It feels weird to sit so much higher, I feel like I am on top of the world....Yes I know I am a nut.

My finals are done!

Well I finally finished my finals. What a relief that was. I felt so much better today after having gotten all that out of the way! Now I have to go and register for some more...

Here is Ashley's newest feat! Eating cereal all by herself. Well honestly she has been eating cereal for a while but she just figured out what mommy was doing when she tilted the bowl to get the last of the milk. Oh and now she is tall enough that she can grab a box of cereal (that mommy left on the counter) and take it down. A whole new era of baby proofing is coming....
