More Pumpkin Patch

These are some of my attempts to get a group shot. There were four of us taking pictures and I don't think any of us successfully got a decent group picture. But it was hilarious to try!

Pumpkin Patch!!

As usual, I am waaay behind on my posts. No surprise to anyone who looks at this blog, right? If anyone still does, that is. Here are some pictures from a mid-October trip to the Pumpkin Patch. I think Jacob and Ben could have spent the whole day just moving pumpkins from one location to another. You gotta love cheap entertainment! It was about impossible to get both of them looking at the camera at the same time, but I think I got some cute shots anyway!

He's Alllll Boy

In fact, they both are. It's funny to me, how you don't have to encourage them to love trucks and dirt and snakes and frogs. They just do. At least mine do. Luckily the great outdoors are just full of such things, so it makes for very easy entertainment!

Helping Daddy

So this is how Daddy gets helped in our house. What could be more helpful than a little monkey on your back? I'm hoping this means Jacob will inherit his Daddy's technical skills. His future wife will be thankful!!

Baby Ben!!!

Okay, I am waaaaay behind on my picture posting! I apologize to friends and family who hope to see new pictures on a semi-regular basis. Above is one of the faces that lights up my day every day. Ben is such a fun, happy baby and he is usually wearing this very grin. Can I just say that I love my job??

Christmas is Coming!!

Our neighbor across the street put up her Christmas decorations today and Jacob was transfixed. He LOVES Christmas lights and we can't get through a trip to any store without stopping to look at their Christmas light display. It makes for very long shopping trips. Still, it is cheap entertainment, so I'll take it! It is definitely a treat for him to have this winter wonderland right across the street.

Day at Ashton Farms!

Day at Ashton Farms!

A couple of weeks ago, a friend organized a trip to Ashton farms for preschoolers. It was a great day of feeding animals, catching chickens and riding horses! I wasn't sure how Jacob was going to react, but he rode the horse twice and fed all the animals and loved every minute of it! And DJ caught a chicken! I'm so proud to have a husband with such mad skills!

Day at the Beach with the Wests!

Here are pictures from our time at the beach with more dear friends, the West family. Jackson saved the day for us by keeping Jacob entertained and happy. Thank goodness for sweet friends!

Day at the Beach with the Laniers!

Finally, an update at last!! A few weeks ago, we went to the beach with our dear friends the Laniers. Their son Oliver is about a month and a half younger than Ben. We're so thankful our boys have sweet friends to grow up with!

Ben vs. The Dragon?? Frog?? Fragon??

I just love this shot of happy Ben on a happy dragon blanket! Thanks Aunt Kelly and Uncle Ian!!
