Pumpkin Patch Adventures

 Sunday was the perfect fall day for a trip up to the mountains to pick pumpkins.
 I don't think we have ever seen so many pumpkins - or so many BIG pumpkins - in one spot.  There were a lot of people there too!
 The weather was perfect (right around 80) and the leaves were beautiful.
 The boys had fun picking out just the right pumpkins.




 Look how big these are????


 I didn't dress Ethan very well for the pumpkin patch - he was hard to spot with his orange and green stripped shorts!
 A rare photo of mom (I'm normally the one taking the photos).
 Wyatt didn't know what to do with himself and all those pumpkins.

 Getting the boys to sit still at the same time to get a photo is tricky.
 Jack wore himself out and wanted to ride before we picked out the pumpkins.

 Then Wyatt wanted in.
 Wyatt's new thing is to copy everything everybody else does, so when Jason went to pick up the pumpkin, Wyatt joined in.
 Let's see those muscles, Wyatt!

 Look at my wheel barrel of moneys!
 Too cute!
 Wyatt wants to push the wheel barrel.
 Show us more of your muscles Wyatt.
 After we got our pumpkins the boys took a few minutes to cool off in the river before the two hour drive home.
 And, of course, it was Wyatt and Jack knee deep in the water and dirt.
 Monkey see - monkey do.


 My sensible Ethan just hung out on the banks, staying nice and dry and clean!
 We got the pumpkins home and set out by the front door.
 We'll carve them eventually but for now they make a nice decoration.
 Aren't the blue ones pretty?  Jason overheard someone saying they were imported from Turkey but we're not sure.
Welcome to fall, ya'll!

 We have traveled around the SE for lacrosse tournaments in the past but this year we had the opportunity to travel to Denver, CO for one. I think it was one of my favorite. We tried to make it a family vacation as well, so we traveled in early the day before and spent some time exploring.  We headed down to Rock Park in Castle Rock and did a little hiking.  See that big rock in the background? Yup, the boys climbed all the way to the top. Ethan and I made it to the base of the rock while Jason, Jack and Wyatt climbed up top.  Ethan and I messing around waiting on the other boys.  Photos of the boys up top.  Our first game was an evening game, so we had most of the day to explore and get used to the altitude (which definitely got to the boys once they got on the field). The fun part of having good friends on the same lacrosse team is you get to explore together. We all drove up to Red Rocks to expl...

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

Big changes!

What a busy day we had! First of all, the trip to the movies was a big success!!! BOTH boys really enjoyed it. I wish I had photos to share. Ethan sat on my lap watching the movie until he fell asleep. He was fighting it though. He kept trying to turn his head to watch even though he was yawning and wanting to put his head on my shoulder. Jack sat for most of it and then got a bit restless. He still watched the whole movie, he just needed to move around a bit. Luckily it was a pretty empty theater. Today we had a bobcat in the backyard moving dirt around to flatten out an area for the playset and a shed. It looks so great out there and Jack loved watching the tractor scooping and moving the dirt.
