The Carving of the Pumpkins

Auntie Anna, Kari and Xander and my Mom all came by to help out with the carving. We had a great time, made a mess and my Mom did a great job feeding Zac! Thanks Mom! Of course there are no pictures of the finished products...sorry.

Off to see Mimi

After a great day at the pumpkin patch we had to stop and see Mimi...

to show off our orange and black gear. Zac was having no problems posing for the camera!

Random Shots and Lots of Fun

The first shot is friend Amy (fellow teacher on maternity leave) with her daughter in the front pack AND holding my son Zac. We have been taking lovely, long, sun filled walks downtown...on an average of 2-3 times per week. We really try and try to not buy things but we are always guilty of some shopping that we need not do! (We will never post least our spouses find out!) But be sure that the lady who works the ice cream counter knows us and knows what we like! Hee hee! It has been an amazing 2 months with Amy and Baby Gracie...walking, talking, laughing, nursing, changing diapers, playing and listening to our babies! Thanks a bunch Amy! I will miss our times together when I have to return on Monday! (Thank goodness it will only be for half time, for now) More to blog about that later...

The second is fairly simple...Zac asleep + big brother CJ putting mom's sunglasses=too cute!

Pumpkin Patch

The sun was shining, there were a ton of pumpkins, the pumpkin canon shooting out the pumpkins, kids were laughing, faimlies were happy...it was a great day at the pumpkin patch! I love this fall weather we are having.

Fresh and Clean and Super Cute

Here are my boys, fresh from the bath/shower and enjoying each other's company. I had to put in the obligatory naked buns shot. I love their talking to each other. They are so nice and sweet! I am sure there will be many other conversations over the years that will not be as nice...I will save this clip to remind them how to be nice! I love my boys!

Smoke'in Hot!

Those are my two boys smoking some meat! Researched jerky recipes, hours of marinating and many more hours of watching the smoker closely! They are so proud! After about three different batches they found a great recipe and the jerky turned out really, really yummy!

Official Soccer Post

I thought I had better post some soccer pictures (all the other moms are doing it) before I:
a) forget
b) lose the pictures on my camera
c) CJ checks my blog and wonders where he is
d) all of the above

And since I have been laying low at home with baby I have not been to but one soccer game this season...Note: I nursed on the sidelines one time and do not want to repeat that in the sun or (please NO) in the rain. With the season coming to a close I knew I had better act fast! So, without further delay here are the soccer pictures! Yeah!!! Go Thunder!!!!
