Vala's Pumpkin Patch

Last Friday we took a trip to Vala's Pumpkin Patch. It is a really neat place, Jacie is too young for the majority of their activities...but we had a blast anyways!

Papa Lynn would not approve of the color of this tractor...but it was fun anyways! :)

These two are my favorite...she is such a little ham!

This was by far her favorite activity...the jumper. She was up there saying "jump, jump, jump" and just laughing...it was adorable!

This was a close second...the corn sandbox. She liked throwing corn at daddy!

Mexico

Preston and I took our first big vacation away from Jacie. We had a really great time together, but by about day three we were really missing our girl. We snapped out of it and enjoyed our five days on the beach in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Amy and Zach's good friend Sarah was getting married so a whole bunch of the family came along. We all had a great time...it was a fun trip!

The photographer who was on the beach had fun taking our pictures. We look like we are jumping much higher than we actually were!

Hanging out in the ocean! The water was beautiful.

We missed our girl...can you tell.

Our last night!

Me and Dad!

Fall Fun at the Apple Orchard!

This past weekend we decided to make the trek to NE City to the Apple Orchard. We took Jacie last year, but she was too little to enjoy the tasty treats. It was kind of a rainy day, but we had a great time anyways. After the orchard we drove into town and went to this little BBQ restaurant for lunch. J was definitely tuckered out by the time we made it home!

Yum! This is delicious!

This was our one little tantrum...mommy and daddy made me get out of the train and I was having so much fun!!!

Overall it was a great day!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

This year we had a nice quiet bday celebration for daddy at home. Mommy made dinner and we had apple pie for dessert! It was a very nice evening.

Big Birthdays!

We had two big birthdays in the Weinandt household this August. Mom turned 50 and Zach turned 21. We threw them a big party at Champions and we had tons of family and friends show up. Everyone had an awesome time.

We decided to take a big family photo and Zach was feeling a little left out being the only single one. Uncle Bill threw this random girl in the photo so he felt better! The bad thing is she is younger and skinnier than I am and she happens to be wearing the same dress!!!

Royals Game

In August Jacie experienced her first Royals game. She got to experience Rosenblatt at least once! We had Faith and Family night for church. She loved the game...lots of clapping and cheering. We didn't think she would make it very long and she actually lasted the entire game...fireworks and all.

It was a little hot...can you tell? We were all sweating!
Cool shades!

Fun on the Farm

Once again I have gotten myself behind on my blog posts. Here are a few quick posts to update everyone on what the Johnson clan has been up to!

We took several trips up north this summer to spend time with family and friends. The kids loved being able to run around on the farm and play "side" as Jacie says! :)

I think the best way to describe this photo would be the three stooges! :)

It is hard to believe that just a little over two years ago the picture of "the crew" would have only been the four of us. Now look...we can hardly all fit on the couch!

This is my little man Ethan Matthew. How cute is he??? He is getting soooo big sooo fast!

Preston and Luke doing a little uncle-nephew bonding in the skidloader!

The Ozarks

We took our annual Weinandt Family Vacation to the Ozarks again this year. We had a nice and relaxing time laying by the pool and soaking up some sun! Jacie was very well behaved and enjoyed the trip as much as we did.

All of the kiddies were very good.

Eating so lunch!

Jacie checking out the view from upstairs with Uncle Zach. She like to wave to the boats!

I love this picture...these two are two peas in a pod!
