Getting ready for Halloween

Today after the boys woke up from their naps we made Halloween cookies and cupcakes. Every year we go over to Aunt E's house and go Trick-or-Treating with the girls and Jacob around their neighborhood. I am so excited to how this year goes and can not wait to post pictures of them in their costumes.

In Honor of....

Ryan turning 4 in a couple of days. I have changed up the blog just a little to honor him. He is having a fire truck birthday so what better than a fire truck background. Be looking for lots of post to come as we have a busy next few days ahead of us with a birthday party and Halloween.

Playing Outside

Last Friday, after dinner, we invited the neighbor's over for smore's. Ryan has been going over and playing with their kids and their kids have been coming over and playing with Ryan. It is really nice now that he his getting old enough to go over and play. We had a really nice time visiting with them and hope that we can get together and visit more often.

While I didn't get any pictures of making the smore's I did get some of the boys playing outside before the neighbors did come over.

Lego's with Daddy

Ryan loves to play with Lego's anytime we are at Grandma and Pawpaw's house, he goes back into the play room and plays with his daddy's old Lego's. Every time we go into Target he asks for the really big Lego Fire Station. So the other day we got him his first Lego. He was so excited. While Zach was taking a nap him and his daddy sat to build it. It was so neat to watch Chris teach him how to follow the directions and let Ry build it on his own. I have a feeling this is only the beginning of many long hours of Father and Son Lego building.

Silly Boys!!!!

Last night, Daddy decided to let the boys take a bubble bath. They had so much fun, we were all cracking up. I love it when they play nice together, instead of fighting all the time.

Painting Pumpkins

Wednesdays are our long days. The boys have Mother's Day Out and then Chris and I attend a Dave Ramsey class in the evenings, so we just stay in town till our class. So yesterday, after the boys got out of school we took them over to a pumpkin patch that we past by every time we go to school. Each one picked out a medium and a baby pumpkin. After the pumpkin patch we went back to Grandma and Pawpaw's house to paint them. The boys had such a good time painting and playing in the backyard. I just love the fall and can't not wait for the weather to get cooler!!
