2nd Annual Hayride

10/10/09 Josh organized his 2nd Annual Hayride at Grandma Linda's. This year we expanded and invited more people. As you can see below we had quite a few to attend -and some weren't even in the picture.
Those who attended:
Grandma Linda, Poppi, Uncle Allen, Kathy, Markus, Bethie, Jessi, Charlie, Jake, Hunter, Chad, Amber, Taylor, Dad, Jodi, Josh, Myself, Tinslea, Aunt Sue, Amy, Scott, Angie, Tyler, Alison, Lloyd, Melissa, Heather, Seth, Jeremy, DD, Ava,Jon Aronld and Leann.
Anyone who knows Jessi - knows she likes to scare people! Well, she hid on the side of River Road waiting for us to drive by and jumped out and scared us - well not really everyone was expecting this b/c when Jessi didn't ride along everyone knew she was up to something (esp. after last year). So after she jumped out she got on the wagon and we were riding along and she jumped off and ran around the back of the wagon and scared Tyler - This was the funnies thing ever - Tyler's exact words were "OH SH*T!!!!!!!!!!" Poor little Seth was a little disturbed by the "monster" a week later at our house he was still asking where the "monster" was.
We all had a wonderful time, enjoyed some delicious food/desserts and most of all just being together!



OH and just wanted to let everyone know that if you see our child - NO we haven't lost our minds!! She has been having a difficult time lately and we aren't sure why but we are trying our hardest to figure out why and pick our battles with her. She is 2 1/2 and has always slept in her own bed until lastweek, now she is sleeping with us. I honesly think this whole Halloween thing has her shook up. Melissa took her down the Halloween isle at Walmart and since then she's been in the bed with us. Dad and I also took her to look at costumes but she wouldn't even look at them - she was scared to death! Yesterday we were playing in her new playhouse and she all of the sudden said "there a monster outside" then opened the door and said "go away monster". So anyways we are dealing the best we know how...and that's giving her her way LOL. This morning she decided she wanted me to take her to school so as I was getting her dressed she said she wanted to wear her princess gown (Joline the one you sent us). Guess what I LET HER! She wore her purple princess gown, jeans, socks and nike shoes to school!!! It just wasn't worth the battle!

Bless your heart (about the whole Halloween issues)....My 3 year isnt bothered by it but my 4 year old niece is absolutely terrified of the Halloween things....she wouldnt even go in Wal-Mart b/c there was a zombie w/glowing red eyes right at the front door....Someone should really give Wal-Mart, Target, etc. a heads up that not all kids enjoy being scared to death.....haha....best of luck....they don't call it the terrible two's for nothing :) You'll find picking and choosing your battles works best.....and not just for kids!! Love reading your blog...
