Carving Pumpkins/Breathing Treatments/Outside

We carved our pumpkins Thursday night. The boys liked using the spoons the most. It was a great big fun mess and then they were bored in no time! We have found pumpkin seeds in the strangest places over the past couple of days.




We had round 2 of sickness here at our house last week. We took pics of the boys getting breathing treatments. they did ok They both still have a cough but are getting much better! :)


New Words:
Connor - sun, fix it,
Carter - moon, fix it, Elmo

Saying, "CHEESE" for the camera! :)

Breathing Treatments

Playing outside! Their FAVORITE place to be!!

The Pumpkin Patch

We took the boys to the Pumpkin Patch this past Saturday. They loved the animals!! Carter would stick his hand into the fence and pet any animal without fear. Connor is a little more cautious. He has to check things out before he puts his hands anywhere. This year was so much fun because they were able to run around and play rather than be carried around everywhere like last year. We had a great time!!

Connor found himself a girlfriend! ;)

State Fair!!

The boys had a GREAT time at the State Fair! They loved getting to see the animals, watch the rides, and eat all the yummy food.

Their menu consisted of getting to taste a little of everything!
funnel cake-Connor's fav
fletcher's corn dog - Carter's fav
cherry icee
mini cheeseburger
french fries
fried pickles

I was shocked they didn't throw up from eating all that junk! Oh well it's not like they eat like that all the time! You have to have a little fun at the fair!


Ok, after downloading these pictures I quickly realized we did an AWFUL job taking pictures that day. There is no family pic! :( We totally slacked on the picture taking that day! Sorry! Enjoy the pics we did get.

We are headed to the Pumpkin Patch this weekend! Stay tuned for much better pictures. ;) Oh, totally forgot to mention these little toots are sick again!! They have been sick twice in the past 2 weeks and they gave it to me! Jason is the only non-sickie around here! Pray for a healthy household!

Our attempt at a picture of the boys w/ Big Tex! ugh
