Leaf Jumpin"

We took advantage of the last nice day before a big rain to rake leaves in the front yard and the boys had a great time! Jaden tries to do everything his big brother does! I used to love when Dad would rake the leaves and let Beth and I play in them. But then, as we got older, he expected us to help-haha!

Jack-o-Lanterns

This year, Camden was brave enough to stick his hand in the pumpkin to help scoop out the goo and seeds. As you can see, he was cracking us up and talking a mile a minute! He was so excited and said, "Mommy, now we can make pumpkin pie, right?!" Uh-no, buddy, that's not exactly how it works! ha! But something tells me he and I are going to be baking a pumpkin pie soon-which will be no hardship for this momma since it's my favorite! Camden drew his own face on the little pumpkin and Daddy carved it for him. He told Daddy what to draw on the large pumpkin. I think they turned out pretty good!  

Pumpkin Patch 2013

So, Stuckmeyers was a little too crowded for our gang on Sunday, but we did get some cute pictures. Of course, our pumpkins are not purchased at the patch, but rather, for a very reasonable price, at Aldi! 

And just because the next three pictures make me smile, here they are....the attempt at a family picture. Pay close attention to the four and a half year old in the last picture. :) Todd and I couldn't help but laugh! 

Bonfire Party

Saturday night was perfect bonfire weather! We celebrated Grant's birthday with the Sucharski's at their annual bonfire. There was enough food to feed an army and so many desserts to choose from. And then, what's a bonfire without s'mores? The kids loved the hayrides and pretty much just ran amuck the whole time. It was a fun night with friends!
