Pumpkin Patch and naps

Jed is starting to fight naps! This is what happens when he skips the nap. He crawled under a kitchen chair and fell asleep on my very hard, very uncomfortable wood floor. He slept through piano practice and me making dinner! Very tired boy. It is definitely that time of year when you feel the need to visit the nearest pumpkin patch! It is always fun to start with the animals. Jed was very excited when the sheep ate pellets out of his hands.
Testing out the pumpkins.

This was on the hay ride to the field. It is so fun to get a picture with all of us in it!

Ash, Adi, and Emi enjoying the hay ride. I don't know how (Reese) but Emi ended up with a diaper full of hay! Poor girl! Very uncomfortable!

Julie, Susan and Bella, along with Rene and Emily also came with us. It was fun to have so many there!

It is a good thing grandma came! She made sure Jed couldn't jump off the trailer which he tried to do several times. (Adi was also a little daredevil)!

The rule for pumpkins is you have to be able to carry your own! Kira was determined to get the biggest one she could!

Jed loved driving his own tractor! It is his favorite word right now.

We can never get a picture when all the kids are looking! We had a great time though.

Sounds Fishy

Reese is now a cub scout and is loving this program. This summer he worked very hard and earned his bobcat plus several belt loops. They have a tradition where you pin the bobcat award on upside down...and after he does a good deed you can sew it on right side up! It was very fun! I also got a mothers pin which was cute to watch Reese try and pin that on me without causing injury to anyone!

Reese has the hardest head! He recently wrecked a 4-wheeler without his helmet on (don't get me started on that) and really banged up his head. He ended up with a big goose egg and a very big shinner but no stitches thankfully! This black eye is not enhanced and looked worse than you can tell by this picture! It was really quite amazing! As you might remember this is his second black eye of the year. The first he received when a brick fell on his head!

Reese went on a trip to Henry's Lake with his dad! He missed two days of school and had the best time catching over 15 fish on his own. This was his biggest from the weekend! Did you ever see a happier boy!

Tom showing off his fish!

Kira and Jed are also doing great! They just don't have any new pictures at this time! Jed is talking more each day, and is currently obsessed with the movie Cars, and Toy Story 2. He is also really into puzzles right now. Kira is doing great and is busy composing a piano song that is really beautiful.
