School Pictures

How handsome is this little fella?









Does he not look like he's about 4 years old!?
Where has time gone?

Jeters

Jeters farm here we come!
I just love little traditions we are starting to make with our family. One of them is going to Jeter's Farm off of 460 one Saturday in October. We had so much fun spending time with friends and letting the kiddos play.
(Warning: Picture Overload)
This year the kids got taken around in wheel barrel by Josh! That was probably J's fav part!





The men before the hayride. This picture cracks me up b/c not one of them really looks ready
for a picture to be taken!
Dawson and Jackson hiding in the corn maze and "scaring" us.

"Ponkin Carving"

This past Saturday we went to the "Ponkin" Patch and picked out several pumpkins! We decided to carve the small one first and are saving the big one for later.
Jackson patiently waiting for Daddy to cut the top off.

It took J probably a good 10 minutes before he'd stick his hand in the pumpkin. Is he not just like his Daddy?! hehe!



Getting the seeds all out!




The finished product.
With it being so little, we carved a "J" in it. Jackson is giving his scary face and I'm doing my "I'm scared of him face".


My sweet boys.



Have I mentioned, I-LOVE-FALL!

Rub-a-dub-dub look at these 2 cuties in the tub!

This past week we had Zack, Meghann, and Ryan over for dinner for Zack's bday. We had a lot of fun relaxing, eating, and letting the kiddos enjoy their time together. Their favorite part was bath time,...well and Meghann's "ponkin pie"!
The next 3 pics of Ryan is when Josh was playing with her. This girl loves her Uncle Josh! Plus, we enjoyed all the expressions on her face when she saw him!




Cheese!



It is such a joy seeing our kids grow up together! Ryan I cannot believe you are almost 1!
