Hello everyone! This Sunday, we went to a nature center for a walk with Georgia, and it was so beautiful with the leaves changing! I hope you all enjoy this vlog!
I love that this has been a year of firsts- Georgia’s first Valentine’s Day, Fourth of July, summer vacation, and now her first trip to the pumpkin patch! It makes everything more exciting and magical. On our way to the pumpkin patch last year, all we did was talk about baby Georgia and how much fun it would be to have her with us next year! This was the time when having her in our arms was feeling so close, and now, she is pulling up to stand, laughing and giggling, has the BEST personality, and is the light of our lives.
We had the happiest day at the pumpkin patch, today. We got there just as it opened, and we picked out 3 perfect pumpkins. Georgia loved being outside in the fresh, fall air, and we just could not stop smiling! We ate yummy cinnamon rolls on the way home, and Georgia took a nap in the truck. We also decorated our front porch for fall and Halloween with our pumpkins, a hay bale, and mums. We actually went 3 different places for the mums. Gail’s Pumpkin Patch had them, but we thought they would get too windblown in the truck. Then, we went to the first Jewel, and they only had not so nice ones left. Next, we tried a gardening shop, but they were so overpriced! Finally, we went to the second Jewel, and they had 3 good ones left, so we bought them!
I always want to remember how cute Georgia looked in her pumpkin outfit and how perfectly she fit in our arms and how Greg and I were buckling her into the stroller together each putting one of her arms through the loops. I could relive this day over and over!
I think this is my favorite time of year!
P.S. We also vlogged today, too, so there will be a new YouTube video up this week!
Here our our pumpkin patch trips from previous years: Last year and 2017
This past weekend we went to the Graf Farm! Olivia came over the night before so that Georgia, and I could drive with her, and Greg came up after work. On our drive, Olivia and I were singing “Not Ready to Make Nice” by the Dixie Chicks, “Picture” by Kid Rock and Shania Twain, and lots of Taylor Swift. We were belting it out like we were performing on stage lol.
Once we got to the farm, we had so much fun spending time with family. It was the perfect day for apple picking, a bonfire, and ATV rides! Being on the farm this past weekend brought back all of the fun memories of being a little kid- running around, getting dirty, and taking countless rides on the four wheeler to the woods. It was Greg’s first time going, and he loved it, too.
We spent all day outside, and the weather was absolutely perfect. It was sunny with a slightly cool breeze- the kind of weather fall dreams are made of. Everyone joined together to pick apples/ shake them from the trees, and then we sat around the fire chatting, laughing, and having the best time.
After all the fun outside, we had dinner together. My Auntie Mar made ham, au gratin potatoes, and this really good spinach and cheese frittata. The frittata was absolutely delicious, and I wish I could have some right now! My mom also made Italian sausage, and Greg loves that! For dessert, I ate wayyy too many of my Auntie Kath’s famous sugar cookies! We did not want the day to end, and we’re so grateful for all of the new memories made!

The Third Annual Heller Cup took place this past Sunday. This is the golf tournament between the two Heller dealerships- Heller Motors (where Greg works) and Heller Ford. For the past two years, I was the scorekeeper and photographer. This year, Georgia, and I went out to take photos at the end of the day, and John Warren and Dan Wickman took over as the scorekeepers.
Luckily, John was able to give me the low down on how the day went. He said that the Heller Motors had a very consistent day of golf. This is what enabled them to take the lead early on. After 18 holes, they were ahead, but the competition was still fierce. Heller Ford regrouped, and they played strong for the last 9 holes. Heller Motors, kept their lead, though, and ended up winning for the third year in a row by 57.5 to 50.
From the Heller Motors side, Nate Tissiere was awarded MVP. Also, Justin Gillard had an amazing shot out of the sand. He hit the ball 250 yards out of the bunker and made it just to the edge of the green! Overall, it was a great day of golf with great weather, and Georgia and I were so happy to see all of the golfers and especially Greg at the end of the day!
Congratulations to all of the guys at Heller Motors on their third consecutive Heller Cup Championship!

This past weekend we went to Top Golf. Greg and I had played once before, and we were so excited to get to play again! Top Golf is basically a driving range, but the balls all have chips in them, and then out on the driving range there are targets that you have to try and hit the ball into. Getting the ball in the hole, and the closer you are to the center of the hole is how you score points. It’s strategic, and it’s about having good aim, which is what makes it so much fun. We went with my mom, dad, my brother, and sister. We all got to swing the club, and my dad and me played against Kevin and Greg in two games. My dad and I won both, and we were so excited! Georgia also loved seeing everyone play, and she loved getting to cuddle with everyone! Afterwards we went out for pizza, and we were so happy to spend Sunday all together!
