Ryan's Jack-O-Lantern!

Ryan drew two faces on his pumpkin. It was really cool looking when it was all lit up!

That was the bigger of the two faces. What a cute boy! He has really developed a darling personality. It's so fun to watch the kids grow and develop.

Joshua's Jack-o-Lantern!

I love Joshua's intense love for everything. He brings a light into all of our lives, especially my mother's.
You have to enjoy a 2 year old's curiosity!

Pumpkin Love!

Jacob was really into his pumpkin! He loved biting it,
examining it,
French kissing it,
and looking cute by it. He was a great addition to our pumpkin carving tradition.

Hee Haw Farms!

Justin is almost too big for the pony rides but he still loves to go! Poor Pony:(
Ryan also love the pony rides. However he didn't use to like them. He use to scream!
Joshua was so excited to get on and take a ride.

The three older boys and I had a great time at Hee Haw farms while daddy kept Jacob at home. Jeff is allergic to hay so he stayed home with the baby. We went with Jared and Brittney and their kids. We saw Amy and Brett and their kids there too. Sadly they were ready to leave by the time we got there. My kids can't wait to go again next year!

My Trouble Makers!

This is what my little ones do instead of napping when their brothers are at school. You might ask if the formula was out? No, it was put away in the cabinet. Joshua climbed the highchair, got on the counter, opened the cabinet, got the formula, opened it, then dropped in on the floor. Then both of the boys enjoyed a snack on dry formula at the cost of $30 a can.

It's a good thing my Joshy is so cute. Oh, did I mention, while I was getting the broom and mop to clean it up that Joshua got his scooter. He rode through the mess and tracked it all over the kitchen floor.

Justin's Pinewood Derby!

Here is Justin showing off his pinewood derby cars. The one the left he and Jeff built. The one on the right he had 15 minutes to build out of a bag of spare parts. Our whole family had a blast watching Justin's cars racing. He came in first 3 different times.
Justin's car is the one in the 1st spot.
He was so excited to press the button to start one of the races.

Having boys is a blast! I'm looking forward to the next 12 years going to 12 more of our sons' pinewood derbies.

Cubby turns 9 months old

Cubby has two bottom teeth in his cute little smile these days.
Today Jacob turned 9 months old and we celebrated with a lolly pop. My mom came over and had lolly pops for the kids and asked if she could give Cubby one. He really enjoyed his first taste of candy.

I can tell you the last nine months went a lot faster than the nine months I was pregnant. I can't believe how big he is. He is already pulling up to a stand. Cubby is an awesome baby. He sleeps 12 hours at night and takes 2 naps. He is almost always happy and easy going. We love our little Jacob!!!
