keeping up with kennedie & quade: corn, pumpkins & birthdays

last weekend i celebrated my birthday with my 2 favorite people!!

the weekend began with tommy's 8th grade girls winning their league championship game! and although that also meant that we were getting a later departure than we had hoped for denver, we were all happy & celebrated with the girls a bit before we were off. we got into denver, ran a few quick errands & then headed out for dinner at the cheesecake factory...on a saturday night. which meant that we had a good 1 hr 40 min wait ahead of us. we thought getting there no later than 6 would be to our benefit, boy were we wrong!! but that gave us time to wander around the mall, get kennedie a cute pair of new boots & some new clothes, tommy a pair of jeans and the birthday girl - nothing :( (but that's ok b/c the next day i made up for it with a new pair of nine west shoes!)

our dinner was delicious, so delicious in fact that we had to take our cheesecake to go - well that & the fact that a 2 1/2 year old out past her bedtime in a restaurant without a play place doesn't stay entertained or sit still for too long ;)

the next day we made our way to a corn maze & pumpkin patch! i wanted to take kennedie to a real pumpkin patch to find her pumpkin since we missed the brush creek pumpkin patch where we normally get our pumpkin. however, when we got there it wasn't a real pumpkin patch - but there were TONS of pumpkins, a petting zoo (we already know how much she loves those from my last post), and a mini-corn maze! we had a great time...

getting lost in the maze...
