Smores and Football

We were supposed to go camping last Friday night but when we saw the weather and realized it was going to be in the 30's....we reconsidered :) So everyone decided to come to our house instead and we had hot dogs and smores. It was a lot of fun and much better to go to sleep in our warm beds!

Caleb's first smore.....I think he LOVED it!!!

This is our new favorite at night.....tackle football. Both boys love to get tackled by Dad. Caleb got down in a 3-point stance without us even telling him to do it. I can only imagine how much football in our future!

My 2 Pumpkins

Here's my 2 pumpkins for Halloween this year.....Caleb was cookie monster and Weston was Mr. Incredible. Caleb loved saying "cookie" over and over and Weston loved showing you his BIG muscles. They wore the costumes for a good 3 weeks before Halloween was ever here. They loved playing in them and I had to beg them to take them off.

This is how we role at picture taking in pumpkins.....face crammed with a graham cracker :) We got a few pictures....at least they are in the same picture :) That is about my expectations these days.

Weston is with his buddy Reid and Caleb is with his girl-buddy Micah.

This was on the way to go trick-or-treating. They had a great time and had it figured out pretty quickly how to get candy.

We went trick-or-treating with our small group. It was all of them and a lot of others kids....it was really fun! Weston would get some candy and then hug the person afterwards....I'm sure they didn't really know what to think of him :)

Airplane and Kansas

We went to Kansas for a few days last week to visit. I flew up by myself on Tuesday with both boys. To be honest it was terrible. I'll never do it again. Weston did fine but Caleb can't sit still. He was all over the place. The worst part was that we had to connect in Dallas and ride the tram around the entire airport. We only had 45 minutes in between our flights and almost missed our connecting flight. We were the last ones to board so the boys didn't get to run around in between and expend some energy. So needless to say the second flight was terrible. Caleb screamed and I cried. I was SO glad to get there. I will never do that again....or at least not for a really long time. Logan flew up on Thursday night after work and so he was with us on the way home and it was much better. Don't let that sweet face in the picture fool you :)

Despite the flight, we had a great time in Kansas. Pawpaw took Weston fishing on Tuesday afternoon when we got there. Weston didn't last too long because they weren't catching anything. He got bored pretty quick. But they lasted long enough for me to get some pictures. Caleb had fun in the rocks :)

A cold front hit the night we got there and it got really cold!!! We had to make do on bundling the boys because I did not bring proper Kansas attire. It's been 80's here and I sure wasn't expecting it to be that cold. They had a blast riding around in the jeep.

Caleb is shopping with Mimi at Sam's. I'm not sure we could afford him :)

We got to see all Judy's side of the family one night for dinner. The boys had fun seeing everyone too. Here's a picture of all the kids....

Saturday, we took them to a pumpkin patch just outside of Wichita. It was a lot of fun and perfect for their ages. There was tons to do....definitely the best one I've been to for their ages.

Weston loved the digger in the sandbox of course!

The slide was a favorite...somehow the pregnant one couldn't go straight down the slide....go figure...I'm all turned and about to fall over with Caleb :( I'm sure that looked really cute.

We even got to find our way through the corn maze!

We got to feed some goats and see a bunny.

Weston got to ride the zip line. They had to lift him up for him to grab the bar because he was so much shorter than all the other bigger kids. He did great and held on the entire time!

The barrell train behind the lawnmower is always a fun time too. Caleb actually rode it all by himself and stayed sitting down the entire time. I thought that was a pretty good accomplishment!

A sandbox filled with corn! I thought it was an awesome idea until Logan informed me that if we did that hear the deer would rip off our sandbox cover to get to the corn and eat it!

I love this picture of my Caleb in his big sweatshirt holding his puppy.

Getting tackled with dad....big fun!

Mimi and I found this at a garage sale for $30! Once they got a battery for it and got it working, we couldn't get Weston off of it! He loved it!

The ride home was much better :) Weston found a new way to travel through the airport! Thanks Mimi and Pawpaw for flying us up to visit! We love you and will see you at Christmas....but no flying next time :)

My Little Boys

They came in from the garage to show me Caleb's hair.....they used the shop vac on it!!! Silly boys!

We attempted watercoloring the other day. It was pretty cold so we decided to take it inside. Then, Caleb started eating his paintbrush, stuck his hand in the water, and then started slapping the table which sprayed watercolor everywhere. Needless to say, we didn't paint very long.

My cutie pies on the driveway....

The boat was out of the garage so dad made them a really cool car ramp. They had a blast riding their trucks/airplane on it.

Caleb is saying quite a few words now but has also started babbling some Chinese or something like it. Here's a little clip of it in the car the other night. It was dark so you can't see anything.
