Choo Choo Train!

Ethan's fascination with trains all started when Jerron wanted to watch his favorite Christmas movie, 'The Polar Express'. Ethan sat still for the first time in his life, jaw on the floor, and completely amazed. Ever since that day we have watched 'The Polar Express' non-stop. So when Ethan can over to Papa Tom and Grandma Carol's house and saw this train table set up he was beyond happy! No one can pull Ethan away from his "choo choo's". I love it when Ethan will yell at the top of his little lungs, "CHOO CHOO! ALL ABOARD!".

Happy 8th Birthday Jacob!

Can you believe that Jacob is 8 years old!? I surely can't! Jacob on the other hand is over-joyed with the fact that he is now half way to a drivers license! Jacob celebrated with friends and family with wonderful gifts and a handmade cake by me.

Jacob got the next two novels to his series from Grandma Judy and Papa Brad

Ethan stayed close by to see what Jacob was getting

Beyblades!

Ben 10 Omnitrex from Uncle Matt and Aunt Ashy

An outfit from Grandma Carol and Papa Tom

Beyblade Arena from Grandma Carol and Papa Tom!

Oops, I accidentally used the trick candles!

Bounce Mania!

Bounce Mania is an indoor arena that has several inflatable bounce houses for kids to climb, slide, and well...bounce! Jacob and Ethan were running non-stop for over an hour making sure to try every single experience the place had to offer. I especially love this place because both Jacob and Ethan took two hour naps afterwards :)

Jacob stopped for a second to give a thumbs up...you can see he is out of breath

Ethan so tired that he couldn't pull himself up the ramp to go inside

"Woo Hoo!"

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
