Pumpkin Patch with Friends

Last weekend we headed to the pumpkin patch with some good friends.  It had been a few years since we have been and were very impressed with all the neat activities that have been added since our last visit.  Not only were there fun things for kids, but also fun things for the adults.  ;) 

This hill-tube slide was a highlight.

Judson couldn't get enough.  As soon as he was at the bottom he was signaling more.

Double action!

Judson even tried it himself.

This grain bin corn box is the ultimate "sandbox."

Especially when it is filled with John Deer and Cat toys.

We then moved on to the bucking broncos. 

About to have a casualty.

This oversized orange things is like a big pillow you jump on.  As I was sitting near the edge Matt thought it would be funny to bounce me.  Before I knew it I was flying out of control off the pillow and landed right on my tailbone in the sand.  A week and a half later after several chiropractic visits I am finally pain free in my tailbone area.  Thanks honey.  ;)

The Drohotas.  Or should I say Pastor Jason and his family.  Hehe.....

We saw these trikes and a sign that said adult tricycles.  Um yes, I never knew there was such a thing.

On your marks.....get set.....GOOOOO!

I have no idea who won this race.  I was too busy laughing hysterically.

The mini's race.

On to the flying horses.  Not Judson's favorite.  You will not find him on this thing.

Little boy so pleased.

Corn maze.  Yes, we lost Kaden and Macy.

Shooting pumpkins and corn cobs.

Find the flying corn.

I think I will be begging to go again next year.  I need to get Matt back for flinging me off the jumping pillow.  But the backache was worth it!

Judson is 2

Our sweet boy Judson turned 2!  

It amazing that the little guy on the left is now the chum on the right.  :)  I'm taken back to Judson's first week of life spent in the NIC-U and feel OVERWHELMED with THANKFULNESS at the life that God has granted Judson.  Even in his little depraved state he is a joy, and we praise God that we have been gifted Judson as a son.  Matt and I are often chuckle in amazement at how much Judson in his little being is so much like me, Kait.  Quiet, timid, shy, introverted, cautious, fearful.  Totally opposite of how God has made up Matt, yet at least he has been given Matt's gender and charm.  :)  

We were able to gather together some family to celebrate Judson's life with us.

It looks like I was able to capture some great chewing pictures.  :D  Papa and Nana Hoerr were even able to be in town for the party.

Time for some cake!

We lit up the candle which made someone really excited.......

.......until everyone started staring and singing.

Once mommy got close he felt better.

BLOW!!!!!!!!

Judson had some helpers help him open his gifts.

"That one's mine!"

This boy LOVES sweets (another similarity to his mom).

We got him a tricycle.  This is his reaction as we wheeled it out.

I think he felt like hot stuff.

He even gave some babes a ride.

Happy Birthday Judson Mathew!  We pray as you continue to grow that God would awaken your heart to see the glory and beauty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Love you little man!
