Mr. Peppers Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to Mr. peppers pumpkin patch. James had a great time. We went on a hay ride, as well as walked around looking for the perfect pumpkin (one small enough for james to carry). James stopped at every pumpkin just to say "pumpkin" it took forever for us to find one, but we had a great time.

The Famous Bull

You would never believe me if i told you how crowded this bull was. When we walked up to the bull there were so many people around (front, head; back, balls) takeing pictures. It took us 20 minutes just to get this picture. we are very lucky no one else was in the picture. It was crazy to see the madness people would wait for to get a picture with that bull.

The Big Piano

This is the big Piano that was played on the movie "Big" it was so awesome to see them jumping around and actually playing a song.

This is in central park, and is the fountain on the movie "Enchanted"

We are on the Ferry from Staten Island to New York.

This is one of the few plus' for being in Maryland.We get to go to New York when ever we want. We went to see our great friends Amy and Robert, while they were there for a Yankee's game. We got to take the Staten Island ferry into Manhatten. It was a nice boat ride, right past the Statue of Liberty. It was a long weekend but we wouldn't trade it for anything.

Coast Guard Uniform

This is the uniform that Matt has to wear everyday. Gun and all. I love a man in uniform!

Cake Decorating

This is the first cake that I made in the class. I have never used bags or tips before.

This is the second cake that I made. I am getting used to decorating cakes and not just frosting them.

The begining of October I started a cake decorating class. I go once a week for 4 weeks. It is fun, but also very hard work. I have only frosted cakes with the frosting that comes in the store, but now I am making my own buttercream frosting from scratch. It is so much fun trying all the tips that I have, and seeing what they can do. I have learned so much in just 3 classes. I would recommend taking the class, it is the one at Michaels. I have made 2 cakes so far and I would like to know how you like them. I dont know if I will make wedding cakes like my mom did (way to much work). But now I can make Jamesy's Birthday Cakes, and other peoples too.

A day on the eastern shore

It was a gorgeous day at the beach. The water temperature was 74 degrees. James loves the water, he would run into the water and if we would not catch him he would just keep running into it. He also had a great time in the sand, we made sand castles, and dug a hole. James would stay there all day if we let him. He is a true water boy!

Fun in the tub!

My sister and i put our kids in the tub, and thought it would be cute to get a picture of there bums. It was so hard to get them all looking at the same time, as you can tell it did not work very well.
