Grandma's Pumpkin Patch, and 2 year old Sugar Cookies

Me, conquering my fear of heights?
Not that I thought I had a fear until I got up there.
I think it surfaced after having children.

Sugar cookies that we made from 2 year old cookie mix.
I'm not kidding.
Sugar cookies are just a vehicle for the frosting though, right.
These were done in honor of you, Jessica.

Beckham wanted to join the photo shoot.

I'm just too comfortable, and the sun feels so good.
Come back in a while.

I love the "I just got up from a Nap" look.

How cute are my kids?
Pretty darn cute.

This was the biggest of them all.
Jaren is glowing with pride.

This Friday we ventured over to Grandma Penny's house. Over the summer she grew these amazing pumpkins!!! They were huge. I guess that's what you get from a lot of watering and neglect. Not that they neglected their garden, their just two busy, working people.

My Mom had some work for us to do in the yard. Well, kind of. She also neglected to tell me that she wanted me to get onto her Roof and cut down the trumpet bush that was taking over the gutters and drains. First of all, I don't even like my husband to get onto the roof, let alone myself. But I did it for my Mom. I think I even sharded in my pants, just a little. Ya, it was that scary for me. It was scary for my kids too. Beckham asked me, " Mom, if you fell would you die?" Just to comfort him I said, " No, but I would probably break something." Beckham then replied, " Are you ready to come down now." At that point, No, the job wasn't finished. Would I liked to have gotten down from the roof, YES. But having to swing my legs down and around the ladder was a horrifying thought. When I finally did have the courage to come down, there wasn't a lot of thougt involved. I knew that if I thought about it too long I would get too scared and get stuck up on that stinking roof. So I approached it more with a Cowabunga type attitude. Do or Die. When I got back to the ground, I literally was shaking in my panies. LITERALLY!!! But on the flip side, I was pretty proud of myself for cutting that ginormous plant down. Unfortunately the gutter came down with it. But I proved to myself that I am stronger then I think I am, in a lot of ways.
