Pumpkin Patch
Another year, another trip to the pumpkin patch. I just love fall!
Gavin really likes the donkey
Shanita helping the boys catapult mini pumpkins across the field. I find this to not be the best use of God's fruitful harvest...but the kids sure enjoyed it!
Oh, he was so close to picking it up!
I was a little nervous Geedge would try and leap out, but he sat tight and loved the ride.
first of all...most of the mini pumpkins available for catapulting were ruined and mushy so what a good way to reuse God's creation! Plus it was kind of fun!
Happy mom, happy wife, happy life. I'm a mom who sees that the daily challenges and blessings of parenting far supersedes what I expected. I'm a wife who sees 'for better or for worse' in a whole new light. I'm a neonatal ICU nurse who sees daily that the miracle of life is a gift from God.
My husband, my love. The ying to my yang. Famous quote "Hey Steve, can you help me clean up around the house?" "But, Gretch, you're so good at it. We're a team, we both shouldn't be good at the same thing, right?" He's the proud pappa of his four boys. He enjoys adding to the rough and tumbliness of the household!
Harrison
My little man Harrison. He's a rowdy nine year old who loves everything "boy." Every stage since his birth has been my favorite. But now, really, I think the 8 year old stage is the best. Really.
Gavin
My middle son Gavin, Gi-Gi, or Geedge is my fiercely independent six year old. His mantra is 'I can do it by myself.' Sometimes this is at the expense of his safety and much to his dismay Mom and Dad have to intervene. But, at the end of the day he still needs his Momma to snuggle and scratch his back. I happily oblige.
Cannon
My youngest and rowdiest! son, Cannon. At the age of three he has grown into true a true Bergman Bruiser adding to the rough and tumbliness of our home.
Quintin
Our latest and greatest Bruiser. Quin joining our family officially enters us into the 'buttload of kids' category and ensures that we will have a rambunctious house for many years to come.
What pumpkin patch is that? Dixie and I are going to one in about a week, and that catapult looks to be right up my alley.
