On Saturday we celebrated Randy's birthday.  The boys went to play golf earlier that day.  Then we all met at Tom and Lois' for dinner and cake.  Here a few pics from the day.

Today we went to Walden Farm Pumpkin Patch.  They had all sorts of pumpkin treats, a petting zoo, kids activities and lots of pumpkins to choose from.  Here are a few pics and some video from the day.

Walden Farm Pumpkin Patch

Lauren has changed so much this past month.  She can wave bye-bye, say a few (i swear it sounds like) words and even take a few steps.  Here is some video from the past month.

Here are some cute pics of Lauren eating a teething biscuit and some icing while I was decorating a cake.

I was finally able to get Lauren's hair into some pigtails.  Here a few pics of the new do.

It has finally cooled down enough here that we can spend some time outside.  Our neighbor's have some pretty landscaping so we thought it would be cool to take some pictures of Lauren in the flowers.  She did well except for when I sat her in the flowers.  She did not like that.  I guess she gets that from me.  Anyway, here are a few pics.

Here is some new video of Lauren playing at home.  It is hard to believe that she is almost 9 month old!

Lauren's First Teething Biscuit

On Sunday, August 31, we had Lauren baptized at the First United Methodist Church in Murfreesboro.  Mom, Dad, Tom, Lois and Grandma Kasal  all attended the service.  Randy and Karon stood for Lauren as her Godparents.  After church we came home for dinner and cake.  Here are a few pics from the day.   (By the way, I made my first attempt at cake decorating.  So I threw in a pic of that as well.)
