Pumpkin Patch 2009

Pumpkin Patch 2009 047Back to the pumpkin patch again in 2009.  It was a bit different than last year.  First the summer heat was still around so we all roasted.  Secondly those cute pictures of Kaitlyn sitting on the pumpkins last year were nearly impossible this year.  Last year we were worried that she might fall off on of those big pumpkins where as this year getting her to sit on a pumpkin for 30 seconds was not very easy.  Over all we had a good time but we would like to go again in cooler weather.  Click on the picture to see more.

Disneyland 2009

_MG_3740We are back from the happiest place on earth and had a blast.  As you can tell from the pictures we rode Dumbo over and over.  Which isn’t the bad considering the family I was talking to earlier in the day who were off to Small World for the 5tth time that day, and it was only 1pm.  We actually went to Disneyland all 5 days which the average person would say it way too much Disneyland.  When you take an 17 month old and a pregnant wife everything happens at a much slower pace.  The whole Sawin Family came on this trip and Kaitlyn convinced all of them to ride all the little kid rides.  How could anyone resist that face? Click on the cute picture to see the rest of the pictures.

Airplane Ride

Today the Family boarded a plane to Disneyland. We packed every trick we could fit in our bad to avoid being that one baby on the airplane you wished you didn’t sit next to. This included cheese its, pirates booty, fruit snacks, teddy grams, dumb dumbs and more. We got Kaitlyn some head phones so she could watch elmo on my ipod. I also had a computer with elmo on it. Lastly we had her favorite blanket, 4 of favorite books, 5 pacifiers in case she decided to throw one, and juice.

We arrived at the airport with an hour and a half to waste. The airport has a family line for security screening so after I got dressed again Kaitlyn had to go say hi to everyone in sight. She ran from one end of the terminal to the other. We boarded a pretty empty flight which was nice and Kaitlyn just sat there and watched elmo on the ipod. About every 30 seconds she pushed the button that exited the video and asked for help starting it again. After about 15 min of that I turned on the laptop and she just laid down to watch. About 40 minutes into it she was out. Slept through the landing, de boarding but woke in time to get her bag.

Overall it went very well.

What’s In A Name?

The baby, Kaitlyns little sister, and little bean are all things she has been called.  As of today she will be known as Courtney Ann.  How do you pick a name.  After 2 cats, a dog and one little girl you would think we have a system all figure out.  Sadly each time its harder.  The one part we had figured out, from the day we found out that we were having another baby girl, was that her middle name would be Ann.  Why?  Kaitlyn got Dad’s middle name or part of it and Courtney gets Mom’s.  The cat has both kids first initals for her name, KC.
