Pumpkin Picking


We took the boys on their very 1st hayride and pumpkin picking trip. It was a beautiful day and we also had Natalie and Sean with us so they got to pick out their pumpkins too. Austin was so cute. I took him over to the little pumpkin patch and he went for the 1st one he saw. He picked it up and then looked at me with the expression "can I have it". Then he looked around and saw all the other ones. He put it back down but decided the original one was the one he wanted so he picked it back up and headed back to the wagon. Colby was so cute on the hayride out as we approached the pumpkin patch he started saying "ball,ball,ball". He was very excited to pick his pumpkin and he picked the one right beside Austin's.

We are getting ready for the 1st "trick or treating" experience. I just hope they will let people put candy in their buckets since they have been wearing them as hats for the past week. We'll be sure and post photos of them in the costumes.

Crazy boys in crazy bucket hats

So this is what the boys have been up to lately. They have been wearing their candy buckets for Halloween as hats. Should make Trick or Treating interesting. Austin has his new word of NO down to a tee. In fact he tells me that for everything. They are both getting very good at mocking a monkey, maybe because they act like one.

Enjoy the photos.

Getting cuter by the day

Some days I look at the boys and wonder where is time going. They seem to be growing so quick and everyday they amaze me in some way. This weekend Colby learned to act like a monkey. Yes, I know he already did in his own way but now when you ask him what a monkey says he'll rub his hands on his side and say whooo, whooo, whooo. Austin learned the drink sign in sign language and both have learned to drink from a sippy cup with the built in straw. We just have to remind Colby to sip slowly or he'll choke.

Aunt Abby came to see the boys on Friday and they were very excited to see her. They were quite the performers especially Austin. Austin is so funny when he has an audience. He'll do something funny then get very embarassed and lower his head with the cutest smile.

Sean had a football game on Saturday and they won. His team is undefeated and will be going to the playoffs for sure. I just wish he would be become a little more agressive, but maybe with time.

I'm sure some of you are wondering if they boys are dressing up for Halloween and yes they are so be looking for our Halloween post coming soon. Can't promise great pictures as the boys don't want to sit long enough for a photo shoot and they kind of make a funny face when they see me coming with a camera.

I have more photos and videos to post so hopefully I'll get to that soon.
