I really can't believe it's that time again... is it really the end of October already?? Time has seem to fly by lately. Although I'm not super excited about time zooming by, I am happy to realize that we are in the home stretch of football season, and I didn't even realize it!
I usually pride myself in being a pretty good "planner," but two things I didn't plan well... my wedding date and when I had my children.
With the wedding, we had been engaged for a year and a half, so I went for the first date my venue had available which happened to be November... translation...playoff season. Jake was coaching part time then, so I didn't REALLY know what it was to be a "Coach's wife!"
When we decided we'd stop preventing the chance of getting pregnant I thought, for sure, it would take at least 4-6 months. (Don't ask me where I got those numbers from!)
then BAM!!
Four weeks later, I had a positive pregnancy test. Of course we were excited, but I had Jace on a Friday and Jake started two-a-days that MONDAY!
Bren was our surprise blessing from God, who came a week before Jake left for Coaching School, which was followed by Camp, then two-a-days and we didn't see him again until November...
SOOOO, football season has usually been a pretty exhausting time of year for me, but this year it really has just flown by! I know it has alot to do with the fact that the children are older and easier to handle on my own, but I've come to accept that this is our life. Well I think that sounds bad, but I just know that this is not only Jake's passion, but his calling. And I know that what he does goes way beyond the football field. I can not tell you how many times parent's come up to me and tell me how much they and their child appreciate Jake and how thankful they are to me for supporting him even though his job can take away from his family time.
OK, so I have gone WAY off course here... so let get back to it, why don't we!
Last weekend we went to visit the pumpkin patch at a local church.
We have gone there every year since Jace's first Fall!
You can see those posts
and apparently I didn't post pics of our Pumpkin patch outing last year :(
But here are my two big kids this year!
My handsome little guy! Always ready to smile for Mommy!
Trying to find the PERFECT ONE!
Trying to get brother to do all of the heavy lifting for her??
I still want to kiss those cheeks every chance I get!
I finally got a smile out of Bren after bribing her!
...and she's done!
