The Halloween Wrestling Match

Boys will be boys...and mine are no exception! Right before we left for trick-or-treating Jacob, Jerron, and Ethan decided to battle each other. Jacob never took his mask off and Ethan never dropped the pacifier.


Ethan joined in on the fight with no hesitation

"Get him Ethan!"

Ethan fought dirty and went for the nostrils

"OK Ethan, Daddy is worn out"



Connor joined in and Ryan fought for his son's honor

Pick on someone your own size!




The battle may be over, be the war just began....

Halloween Package from Washington

Papa Brad and Grandma Judy sent the boys an early Halloween package. It was full of PEZ and a PEZ Dracula dispenser (so cool)! Also in the package was Chocolate and more candy! Thank you Grandma and Papa!






You can actually see the excitement in his face :)

Halloween 2010

Happy Halloween! The boys were so excited for their night of tricks and treats! Ethan's costume was a police uniform and Jacob was a zombie. Ethan was fighting me tooth and nail when I tried to put his costume on and when he saw all the other kids with their costumes on he put his shirt on really quick! The kids did a great job and we had a great time!




A very creepy house

Ethan was so happy to be able to get so close to the firetrucks



Ethan caught on really quick

Country Line Orchard

Ashlin and Matt invited our group to come up to their house for the weekend. We also visited a local apple orchard that let you tour the orchard and pumpkin patch.




Fall was definitely in the air here! The colors are beautiful!

Our group: BB, Jacob, Carol, Ashlin, Matt, Ashlin, Jeff, Joni, Leah, Mallory, Jerron, Ethan, Brandon, and Alicia,...and of course me :)

"Look Mommy, I'm a post!"

Ethan LOVED watching the tractors

Jacob: "I think I found the biggest apple here!"

Ethan: "What the heck are we supposed to be doing?"


Jerron and Matt, too cool for school



Because it wasn't prime apple season, all the apples had been picked and were in bins

Pumpkin Patch and Hay Ride

One of my favorite fall activities is taking a hay ride to the pumpkin patch. The colors of the leaves and cool air just make me smile. Ethan and I joined the Mommy's and the kids of the SAHM's club for a pumpkin patch play date. Ethan got to experience a hay maze that was created just for toddlers. We also got to take a hay ride to pick out a creepy pumpkin (one with bumps on it). Ethan's favorite part was chasing the kittens through all the pumpkins.







This was story time, as you can see Ethan refused to sit (he is in the lower right hand corner)
