CIRCUS TIME!

We took the kids to the circus last night with the Klein's.  Barnum and Bailey's put on a good show!  The kids loved it and us adults thought it was pretty entertaining as well!
Tyler's favorite was the elephants and the motorcycles that went around inside this big ball.  I think that Brady loved the music, lights, sound, and all the action!  They pretty much loved all of it!  It was a great night!
 One of the highlights from the show--the famouse elephants!
 These people were amazing!
 Tyler sat next to Cody the entire show.  And...
Brady, of course, jumped from Lee's lap, to my lap, to his own seat, throughout the performance.

FALL SOCCER = COOL MORNINGS!

Only one more soccer game to go for the season.  Tyler's been doing awesome and enjoying every minute of it!





FIELD TRIP

I took a personal day to join Tyler on his pumpkin farm field trip this past Thursday.  It was a very cool morning, but we had a great time!  I was excited that I was actually able to go, as my 3 personal days are usually taken for going out of state during the school year.  So, I was thankful that I got to spend a day with Tyler!

Tyler and I on the tractor ride to go pick pumpkins.  And yes, it may look like he has something "stored" in his mouth--It's just gum!  :)

PUMPKIN FARM 2012

FALL.
My favorite time of year.
I love the sights, smells, temperature, food, activities, football, new shows on TV.  There's so much to enjoy at this time of the year!  And going to the Pumpkin Farm is one of my favorite days of the year.
This past Sunday was a beautiful fall day to take an afternoon to spend at the Pumpkin Farm.  We enjoyed the afternoon with the Klein's and everyone had a great time!
There are tons of picutres!  As this is one of my favorite days of the year, lots of pictures are a must!
It was also a Bears game day, Sunday, and they had just won!

 Taking a ride on the cow train.  You can see Tyler and Brady towards the front of the train and the "big" kids, Chad and Lee, in the middle with their hands up.

 Not so sure who this dog costumed person was, but Cody, Caden, Tyler, and Brady ran up to it right away to give it hugs.

 Not a very smooth landing from Tyler.

 Jumping on the big orange jumping pillow with Tyler and Brady.  Love this!  At one point all of the Klein's and all of us were up there jumping.
 I love this!

 Happy Fall, 2012
 
 Tyler took this wonderful picture of Lee and I.

 Brady could have stayed in the house the whole afternoon!  One of his favorite spots at the pumpkin farm.

 Making the way to the tractor to ride out and pick pumpkins.

 Pure joy!



Lee searching for some great pumpkins for the boys.
 Brady is so happy with his teeny tiny little pumpkin!
Tyler, on the other hand, could not find a pumpkin clean enough for him.  As you can see from his face, he wasn't thrilled about this dirty pumpkin!  Luckily Brady's was pretty clean, otherwise, this could have been an issue for Brady as well.  So, rather than picking a pumpkin for Tyler out in the field, we got one for him that was already picked and washed up at the barn.

FAMILY PICTURES 2012

We got our family pictures taken in August, right before going back to school.  As always, picture day was a huge task.  I was very pleased to see that we actually got some good ones!  Here's a few of my favorites!
 Tyler-4  Brady-a few days before turning 3
 Brady Joseph-3 years old
Tyler Thomas-4 years old


 Brotherly love
 Brady did not want to take anymore pictures!  Here he is having a mini melt down and needing his Mommy.


So sweet!
