I've been TAGGED also!

Ok, so I've been tagged by Jerri and Shanan! Thanks guys. The idea is to list 7 things you may or may not know about me and then tag 7 others. Well, all the other bloggers I keep up with have already been tagged so I guess the buck stops with me. Ok, I've been thinking all day of some really good things and this is what I have come up with.

1. I have many little quirks that people just die when I tell them. One of them is I eat M&Ms by color and alphabetically. Why? I don't really know, but I also feed Ella Kate her baby food by matching up her fruit and vegetable alphabetically.

2. When Allison was in preschool and elementary school I kept a list of what she wore each day and I mean each and every day and I still have these lists!

3. I am addicted to EBAY and buying clothes for Ella Kate. Just take a look at her closet! Call it what you want, but Scott calls it an addiction! Ha,ha!

4. I absolutely love Christmas and I start listening to Christmas music on November 1st. I try to watch a Christmas movie once a month and my house has 5 Christmas trees!

5. I have red hair and blue eyes and look nothing like my brown eyed, dark haired brother and sister. When we were in elementary school at Pembroke Elementary School in Pembroke, KY my sister told a lot of people that I was Reba McEntire's daughter and she couldn't take care of me because she was always on the road so she gave me to this family named The Loves because she just loved their name. People actually believed this story! Later I found out when reading Reba's autobiography that her great-great grandparents or further back were actually Love's from Oklahoma. My grandfather Love was from Oklahoma. Who knows maybe I am kin to her!

6. I hot roll my hair everyday! I know this is so 80s but it's the easiest for me and I've been doing it for about 17 years now. My hair is probably the longest it's been in 15 years also!

7. I am a HUGE Disney freak. Scott and I try to go to Disney World at least once a year just by ourselves and then we take the kids once every other year. Allison and I went by ourselves last fall break and had a blast! I was about 12 weeks pregnant with Ella Kate, but I still had a wonderful time! Here's a picture of us.

Ok, so there are 7 things I bet you didn't know about me. I could have listed a bunch more, but I really didn't want to bore you. Maybe one day I'll share some of my other quirks and OCDness (if that's a word)with you.

Until next post! Love, Amy

Happy 6th Birthday Ethan!

Today we celebrated my nephew, Ethan's 6th birthday! I can't believe he's 6 already. I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday. He had a Spongebob cake and got lots of neat presents! He told me he wanted a Wal-Mart "credit" card so he could buy whatever he wanted. Guess what, that's what we got him. Ella Kate had the best time watching all the kids. Below is a picture of my 3 kids at the party. Kyle looks excited doesn't he? He better get used to it because the holidays are coming soon and I intend on taking TONS of Ella Kate's 1st celebrations!

Thanks to everyone who has signed my guestbook. I will eventually be adding other "extras" to my blog, but haven't found time to do that yet. Thank you to everyone who reads my blogs. I hope they don't bore you. :) I hope to update at least every other night this week so check back soon! Have a wonderful rest of the weekend. Love, Amy

A Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Well, I have finally made it back to the blog world! I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. We have been so busy and I hope to update on our activities soon.
Today we went to the pumpkin patch at Christian Way Farms. If you've never been and live in Christian Co. then you need to go. They have so many activities for the kids. Scott, Allison, Ella Kate, and I went with my sister, Jennifer and her three kids, Emma, Ethan, and Eli. We had the best time, but it was a little warm! Who would have thought it would be 85 degrees in the middle of October!! Two things Ella Kate does not like are being hot and having a wet diaper so I was a little worried about her, but she had the best time and was SOOO good (as usual). She loved watching the "big" kids.

Above is a picture of my nephew Ethan with Scott and Ella Kate. We rode a tractor back to the pumpkin patch to pick out our own pumpkins. Ethan searched for the perfect pumpkin for Ella Kate and he got this one that was just her size. Thank you Ethan for thinking of Ella Kate.
The kids also got to feed a donkey, play on a hay castle, dig around in a truck bed full of corn, and ride tricycles. It was a great day!
We hope to make this an annual tradition for the kids. We had fun, but were tired at the end of the day. Below is a picture of all 5 kids. Kyle is 18 and thought the pumpkin patch would be no fun, well boy was he wrong!

So until the next post I hope you have a wonderful night.
Amy
