The Lost Posts - October, The Pumpkin Patch and Our Anniversary!

Jeremy and I celebrated nine years of marriage this past October.  It was kind of crazy how fast the time has gone! 

We kicked off the day by taking these two crazies to the pumpkin patch with UABC Preschool.  It was such a fun morning!  

 The daring duo with their pumpkins!

 Isabel the scarecrow!

 Coop the scarecrow!

 Mrs. Cash giving them instructions on the bean bag toss…turn taking is so hard for these guys!!

 But they tried hard and got it!

 Playing on the playground!

 Taking off on adventure with Mrs. Romano to tour the farm…Christmas trees, asparagus, peach trees…this place has it all!  And it's right in our own backyard.  

A little McDonalds for lunch afterwards fills up hungry bellies from all the pumpkin farm running!  And happy meals toys are awfully cute aren't they??

After the pumpkin farm excitement, we got everyone dropped at their proper destinations and headed to St. Louis!  Our favorite artist was playing a show at the Peabody Opera House the day of our anniversary…so we seized the opportunity and got away for an overnight.  We got a night's stay at the hotel at Union Station.  It was a beautiful hotel…and not going to lie, we paid a little extra for valet parking and it was the way to go!!

We took off to a place called Vin de Set for dinner.  It was a french cuisine restaurant with the prettiest rooftop!  I fell in love instantly with the atmosphere! The food to follow was insanely delicious…and I can't wait to go back!!

My first French 75.

The view.

My handsome husband!

Our appetizer…I forget now what we got.  But it was amazing!

Butternut squash soup…it was to die for!

My first experience with a pork roulade.  It was one of the most delicious thing I've ever eaten. And I'm not exaggerating.  

Unlike himself Jer ordered a steak and fries.  Not his favorite, but we shared mine and decided next time he'd try something like mine!

A crumb brûlée…on the house to celebrate our anniversary! 

Patio lights…so pretty!  Why yes we'll order another drink!

At the Peabody waiting for Jason Mraz.

Such a great show!!

The next morning we took off from our hotel and walked down to get some lunch.  We decided on Bailey's Range…and then we wandered the City Garden.  I loved being able to walk a few blocks to our destinations!

Such a fun time with this guy.  I couldn't ask for a better partner to adventure with than this guy.  So blessed to call him my best friend!!

The Lost Posts - September, The Second Half

Aunt Jackie and I took off to the zoo…we were desperately out numbered but everyone behaved and we had a blast!!

So much fun!!

Steff is always in the know about awesome stuff going on locally…and this was a beverage following our trip through Vintage Market Days in Highland.  What an awesomely fun day with my best friend!!

There was eye candy galore!!  I left so inspired to come home and DIY myself into oblivion!!

Working on our homework routines earned him a star pop from Dairy Queen.  And the rest of us got some goodies too :)

Apparently we'd been living under a rock and pumpkin pie blizzards existed before this fall.  I don't know how I lived without them!!

A vintage market find...

I love this kid. 

Jer's company planned a tailgate party at the Ram's game.  We had a blast!!

Love this kid too.  Such a fruit!!

Homework 

One day while waiting to pick up Coop we wandered on over to the Robert Wadlow statue and park area next door to church…it's a pretty little spot that I think I could sit and enjoy some peaceful contemplation!

Making a change…I went auburn and haven't changed back since!!

A trip to Eckerts with Grandma and Grandpa.  A day to remember!!

Waiting for the tractor...

My little studs!  So handsome these two! 

After our fun at the apple orchard we stopped in Grafton for snacks at The Whole Scoop. I love this little place. They have yummy food and fun ice cream…and it's right off the main drag through town. You can watch motorcycles go by and enjoy the quaintness that comes with small town atmosphere.

I decided it was time to redo the front door…and boy was it a overdue!!  It's amazing what a little bit of time and some new hardware can do!

Paint, hardware, kickplate and an inexpensive Command strip hanger from 3M.  Not too shabby!!

I realize I took a lot of homework pictures.  I think it was a shock to me how much there was when school began.  Here Owen is with two worksheets and a book to read.

Feeding the ducks!!  We set up a play date with Peyton and Case after school one day and it was beautiful weather and just a blast…as usual!!  After the ducks we took off for the park and enjoyed playing till it was almost too dark to see :)  So much fun!!!
