Pumpkin Patch!

Today, fall trip to Hill Ridge Farms!! The boys love going and exploring the fun stuff to do. They ran through the maze, fed the animals, LOVED the big pipe slide, ran on the hale bales, jumped in the hay, played in the corn house, lots and lots of running around, a hay ride and of course, pumpkins! This year the boys had such a great time. As they're getting bigger, we're able to let them do more and just watch.  Makes is much more fun for Mommy & Daddy too! 

Major Hunk - t-shirts don't lie!

Being silly - you'd think it was winter!

C-h-e-e-s-e. I love that smile. =)

Hill Ridge Farms

The first time we came here, Eli was smaller than Cole is now. 

Running through the maze

Gotta love a photo op

Feeding the goats - and man, they knew all about those chutes!

Waiting in line - one of many time

Eli had so much fun going by himself.

Daddy and Cole had fun too - bumpy but fun. 

Running and jumping on the hay bale maze

How can you resist that cuteness? 

The corn house is always a favorite. 

They waited in line several times.

I have no idea what they were laughing about but apparently it was really funny.

Hay ride!

It was so fun to watch the boys run around looking for THE perfect pumpkin.

Found them. 

Eli, of course, went for a big one!

Daddy found his.

All my favorite boys

Time to play in the hay - I mentioned to Tim that we pay for the boys to do what I grew up doing!!

Trying to get Mommy

I ended up with hay all over me and tackling two sweet boys. 

Pooped out!

Breast Cancer Walk + Pink Parties

Today was the Breast Cancer walk and Pink Parties at Cole's school. There were different activities and fund raisers this week (bake sale! Yum!!). The kids did such a great job and had fun with it. 

Walking in the School walk 

Cole and some friends - his shirts says "Fight like a Girl". 

Pink Party! All of the kids love sugar and parties. =)

Mommy & Cole - I love going to class parties. I think Cole likes me being there too!

Dude!!

D-U-D-E!!

Crazy hair day

Spirit week at Eli's school - today was crazy hair day. When you have very little hair, the only thing to do is add color! Half red, half green.......definitely crazy hair!!

Superhero / Pajama Day

Superhero day at Cole's school - Hello Buzz Lightyear!

Pajama Day at Eli's school - Ninjago of course!

Love my boys!

Baby toes

Today we brought Sweet little Evan home with us from school. Cole LOVES little baby toes. Funny he told me though that he doesn't like "baby heads". Silly boy!! (Isn't Evan a doll?!)

Family bike ride

Lots of fun family bike riding these days. Today we headed to the lake to feed the ducks and just be outside. The boys love it and so do we! 

A little pre-ride warm up, riding in front of the house.

Time to feed the ducks

and make LOTS of new ducky friends.

I think Eli fed himself more than the ducks!

Check out the bread on his lips!

Family photo =)

My sweet boys - getting so big!

Daddy's boy!

Tookie Dough

Cole cracks us up with how he says "cookie dough". It sounds more like "tookie dough". So cute and so sweet. There aren't too many things yummier than "tookie dough" straight off the mixer blade. I remember taking every opportunity as a kid (and even now!!) to eat the dough. Love it! 

Super fun weekend with Grandma C

We had a great weekend with Grandma C - rain and all!! It was so wonderful having her here because the boys would have driven us crazy with the rain. Saturday morning the boys had swim lessons and Grandma was able to see their progress. Then they played all day - inside and out when they could. Tim & I managed to piddle the day away doing stuff around the house. A nice trip to Lowe's ended up with materials for an mailbox / mailbox post replacement. Nothing like an impromptu project!! We also walked around Lowe's looking and thinking about future house projects. 

Sunday we went to church together and then the boys were able to play outside with Grandma. It was fun watching them show off their bike riding skills - Cole on the Strider bike and Eli on his big boy bike. 

Showing Grandma how to play 'Where's Perry'

Cole was cracking me up during his swim class. He & his buddy eventually got separated. 

Cole is getting much better at floating

Grandma loves her Cole-man

They played doctor on the porch - checking temperatures, giving "shots", listening to heart rates.

Checking on Grandma

Look at this big bike riding boy!!

Mr. Cute - nothing gets them interested in bike riding like a puddle. :-)

Games with Grandma

Puddles attract boys!

So proud

Concentration as he starts by himself

Grandma is just as silly as her Grandsons!
