The Pumpkin Patch

Look! I'm posting pictures! Yesterday we went to Pooley's Pumpkin Patch. We normally go to Vala's, which is a lot bigger, a lot more expensive, and very crowded. This was a nice change of pace since the boys could just run from one thing to another without fighting the crowds. We all had a great time despite the chilly weather.

They had the best time playing with the kittens that were roaming around.

Tire swing! Weeee!

Umm, there's something wrong with this one....

Shooting corn!!

Amy and Ellie Came to Visit

We were so happy to have Aunt Amy and Ellie come visit us while Matt was out of town. Ellie is so sweet and the boys loved on her so much! Corbin was SO sad when they left. As you can see from the pictures, he was around her all the time, taking care of her.

Snow Day!

Well today was the first snow day of the year. Caleb and Corbin had fun playing outside while I shoveled the driveway. Carson was sound asleep in his bed. They might get another snow day tomorrow...the snow seems to be picking up.


Cobin likes to help me shovel.

Thanksgiving with Friends

Well this was our second Thanksgiving spent away from family. We were very lucky to have spent it with our friends John and Christina, who are from the south, so you know the food was good! We had a great time visiting while the kids played. I think they had a good time as well. There was another family there with their three kids, so there were six adults and nine kids. Needless to say, it got loud at times. Here are a few pictures from the evening.

Family Session

Today Matt is doing a family portrait fundraiser for our adoption. Last night we went to the studio and got some shots of us. Here are a few from our session.

Carving Pumpkins

The boys always love the idea of carving pumpkins but don't really like getting dirty. This means Matt and I do most of the dirty work and the carving. Carson had a good time pulling out the seeds and eating a little in the process. At one point he spit everything out of his mouth back into the pumpkin. Corbin gave his pumpkin freckles by stabbing it over and over with a little tool. It was a great day. Fun was had by all.

Halloween

Say hello to my three Transformers...Megatron, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. I think we picked the most popular costumes this year. There were about ten other Bumblebees running through the neighborhood. We're lucky we actually came back home with the right one. Carson did great for about five houses and then he was done. I'm sure he will enjoy it a lot more next year.
