The Pumpkin Patch & Fall Festival

Last Saturday we finally made it to pick out pumpkins with the kids! Cade loved it. Here are a few pictures from the pumpkin patch!



Cade looked for a pumpkin like he was a boy on a mission!

He was so sweet!

And of course so is she!

This is my favorite picture of Dylan that day.



Okay, so not all of the pumpkins were what I would call asthetically pleasing to the eye! Ha!!!

Doyle always finds the perfect one.

And this is my favorite picture of Cade this day.

These kids just don't do "posed" very well.

And yes, Cade was actually afraid of the scary spider beside him!

Next to the pumpkin patch was a fall festival.

And Cade went on his first pony ride!

He also dug in the hay to find a prize.

He did a good job of "fishing" for ducks too!

We had to walk back up to the Chik-fil-A cow but once we got up there, Cade didn't have anything to say. Ha!!!

This picture was from an outting with my friends at work. We went to Dave & Busters and everyone brought their families. We know Cade is going to love this place when he gets a little older!

Here is Dylan on her 8th month birthday!

And here is Cade after drinking Doyle's homemade fruit smoothie. Needless to say, Cade is a fan! :)


That's all for now. I know, I go what a month with no posts and now 2 in the same weekend? Crazy... I know! The next one probably won't be until after Halloween night

"Busy" doesn't even describe just how busy I've been!

We have been out of our minds busy this past month! What with getting everything ready to move and putting our house on the market, it's been a real ZOO around here! Just to catch everyone up, we close on our new house in Michigan on November 12th. Our house here in Jacksonville is still on the market. We've had quite a few people come through but no one has taken a bite yet. But it just takes one person right?! Anyway, I'm sure someone will come along that wants it.

So anyway, here are some pictures we took the past month or so. We did take the kids to pick out pumpkins last weekend but I still need to download those pictures and edit them before posting them here. I hope to get that all updated this weekend too. So check back again! :)

Cade came out of our bathroom and showed me he had found his "boo boo band aids". He was all smiles until he finally wanted to take them off (about an hour later) and realized putting them so close to his hair wasn't such a great idea after all...

Here he is being a little monkey.

Why do kids always seem to have dirty faces!?!

These two really are two peas in a pod! I have no idea what they were doing here but doesn't it look like he's dot Dylan swimming? Ha!
After bath time...

This one is for Grandma... we know how she likes cloth in the mouth!

And here Cade is just giving his beauty pose.

Doyle wasn't home for my birthday but he wanted to make me a birthday cake when he did get home. For the most part I kept out the kitchen while he was making it. But I think I went in there to get some water and saw this. I just HAD to take a picture! I thought it was more than hilarious that he was using that dish to mix the cake batter in! Ha! Too funny! Love you honey! That cake turned out really awesome!

Here Cade is reading a book to Dylan. He loves to play with his sissy, that's for sure.

And he loves to help feed her! Not sure why he thought he needed to have his hand on her head in order to give her a bottle though! Ha!

And here is our pretty little girl!

See! I wasn't kidding! He loves reading to her!
Okay, that's it for now. Pretty good timing. Sounds like Dylan just filled her diaper so I better get her cleaned up before it becomes too big of a mess. Cade won't be too happy that I'm getting up though. He's laying down here on the couch beside me. He's found it difficult to hold his hand in my arm pit while he's laying down. So now he's figured out that he can put his feet in there instead and apparently that's just as good! For those of you wondering what the deal with the armpit is to begin with... all I can say is I have no idea how it got started. One day he just started wanting to put his hand there as sort of a comfort tool. He prefers to have it there when he's trying to go to sleep, etc.
Anyway, really gotta go! Don't forget to check back for the pumpkin pictures!
