Kupins

Kupins=Pumpkins (Nina language)

We visited Murray Family Farms this year to pick out pumpkins as a family. The place was awesome. They had a great petting zoo with very friendly and hungry goats, a few mazes, a farm tour, and lots of other fun things to do. Too bad the store was closed by the time we came back from the hay ride, meaning I didn't get a turnover. I guess we'll just have to go back.

The goats seemed really hungry. They were trying to eat my papers and my purse.

Gotta love the chickens.

She has been carrying those pumpkins around ever since.

New Addition

I felt bad after Nina's 2-year appointment. She absolutely hates everything about the doctor. She hates getting weighed, measured, assessed and especially poked. Well, she got 2 shots and a finger prick. The finger prick showed her iron was low....meaning she got a good ol' blood draw too. Horrible really. I felt so bad that I bought her a fish on the way home.

*I kind of regret it already. I swear he is the dirtiest fish ever. I have to clean him every few days. I'm glad I didn't feel bad enough to buy her a dog or something. But...she does love him so maybe it was worth it.

**2 year stats: 24.5 pounds, 34.5 inches

The Big 2-9

I turned 29 a couple of weeks ago. It's crazy to think that I will only be in my 20s for one more year. In a lot of ways I still feel like I'm 18 years old. I had a great day. Had an ultrasound in the morning, my friend Gin took me to lunch, and Tyson took me to dinner. What a gift...I didn't have to cook or do dishes all day!

Reasons I feel 29: the wrinkles around my eyes don't go away when I stop smiling, I have a quarter of the energy I did at age 21, my memory has become horrible, my baby sister is going to be 21 and going on a mission

Reasons I don't feel 29: I'm still immature, I enjoy a good dirty joke and will still laugh about it, I still feel like I have a lot of life left to live

Mmm...Que Pasa dinner, blue corn enchiladas.. I probably consumed 5,000 calories that day!
