We had a busy weekend. I just got my camera in the mail (thanks mom). We had several exciting events. I took a lot of pictures. I will try and narrow them down to my favorites. We drove to STL on Thursday so we could spend Friday with my family. So, on Friday afternoon we went to the pumpkin patch, Pumpkins Galore in Wright City Missouri. My mom went to school with some of owners of the patch. They had so many cool things for the kids to see and do. We saw all possible farm animals (pigs, cows, horses, chickens, turkeys, dogs, cats, goats). The kids loved playing in the corn, wheat, and soy beans. They played on the playground while Grandma and I went to the barn to look at their crafts. I even saw my Kindergarten teacher there. Too cool. We had a great time with Grandma Wright at the pumpkin patch.

absolutely loved the "Farm Smell" of the horses.
Forgot about the adventure before the pumpkin patch....... Grandma found an Awesome Thomas the Train set on a garage sale with like a gizillion bridges, tracks ect. I started putting it together Friday morning. Isaiah would not leave until we tried this baby out. Then I got frustrated and Jayson decided to take over. Jayson had enough and Grandpa helped us out. THANK GOD FOR GRANDPA. An hour later Isaiah finally got to play with Thomas. And it was really cool. He LOVED it. It had a helicopter, trains and Bertie the bus that had his own road. It was worth the headache. The kids played with it all weekend. They loved it and had a wonderful t

Sorry Grandpa I had to put this picture in here. It was too cute!
Yeah ISAIAH finally got to PLAY!
Next was the wedding. Jayson's cousin was married in Clayton Missouri on Saturday. It was an absolutely beautiful day. Really couldn't have been a better day for a wedding. We attended the wedding and when I say attended I mean Jayson and I took turns carrying various kids out to have a talk, go to the bathroom, feed you know the normal parent stuff. I guess it was a beautiful ceremony from the little bit I saw. HA! Anyway here are s
ome pictures from the wedding. 
This is why Jayson never gets the camera. He thinks it's soooooo funny to take "THESE" kinds of pictures. Ha ha Jayson!
Party till you drop or your momma makes you stop. This was the scene after five minutes in the car.Between the wedding and the reception we had a few hours to spare. One of my past students/players from Gower lives in O'Fallon which was about 30 minutes from the reception site. So, we decided to pay a visit to Sarah (Quirk) Peck. She is a Labor and Delivery nurse in STL. So, she had many a phone calls from me with Layla's complications. Thanks Sarah for being such a great friend, listener, and nurse. She is a new momma herself and here we are with our little ones. Sarah's little boy is a few weeks old. His name is Liam. Sarah is a wonderful mom and friend. I am lucky to have met her and hope to keep in touch. It is so crazy to think how we met and became friends. It has been really cool to see her grow and graduate and then get married and start a family. I love ya Sarah! 
The very last "event" of our weekend was attending church with my mom and dad. This was not the church that I was raised in. My parents have moved since I have lived in Warrenton. They attend a small country church near their home. Whenever we come down Maya has gotten in the habit of singing a song in church. We usually practice before we come down. This time Maya decided to sing an old hymn, "When we all get to heaven". She practiced with a CD that I have at home and then practiced with Grandma when we got to her home. Then she decided since Grandma had a guitar that she needed to have one too. This really was so incredible to see and hear her sing this song. I wished that I would have video taped this. It was great. She sang loud and she strummed that princess guitar like she knew EXACTLY what she was doing. My mom sang as well and played the mandolin. There weren't very many dry eyes after this song. How wonderful!
Short mommy message to Maya:
I am so proud of you Maya you did a wonderful job! I hope you continue using the gifts God gave you to make others happy. I love you!

Sounds like a ton of fun, and makes me tired just thinking of all the running you guys did. I would love to hear Mia sing sometime, I didn't know she loved it so much. Fun times.
MARY! Long time no see girl! This year is so different than our first....kinda makes me sad, but yet happy that we are not still 1L's:) Anyway, StL looks fun! I do still want to go sometime...and now that we will be full time Missourians, we have more time to make it there. Hope to see you soon! Oh, and Mayas singing in church looks SOOOOO cute. Brent and Michayla sang in church last month and I almost got someone else to play the piano for them, because I was too teary eyed to see the music! Luckily it was a pretty simple song:)
