Joshua's first PUMPKIN!!

We wanted to take Joshua to a pumpkin patch last week, but it ended up being to rainy :( but....
the night we were planning to take him, the "pumpkin wagon" showed up....late! So, when Joshua woke up on Sunday morning, there were tow pumpkins sitting there! One for Joshua and one for Matthew! Thank you to the Turners ;D

Joshua LOVES his pumpkin! He was very excited when he first saw it sitting outside of his room!

This is the face that he chose ;) ....a circle nose!!!!

Look inside!

"That's yucky, Mommy! That yucky!" - Joshua's exact words :)

Daddy got to do all of the "fun" prep!

Getting excited!!!!!!

The candle is ready...

time to light it!

He LOVES it!!!!

Joshua's 1st pumpkin!

It works! ;D

Matthew likes too....
we still have to carve his....
He was happy enough to play with Joshua's....he's easy going :)

Family walks to the park

One thing that we Love to do as a family is go for walks along the river, and then end up at the park! Nathan even found $25 one night!!! So, we keep our eyes peeled as we walk now ;)

These pictures all ended up out of order for some reason, so just bare with me...

Joshua and Daddy at the top of the climbing ball!

Our boys having fun on the slide!!

Matthew taking a bread at the bottom of the slide ;)

...when you get to the top of the climbing ball, you have to hit the top of it...so, that's just what Joshua did!

My three cuties!!!

Yes, that's my hubby!

Matthew's limo...

Joshua and his bike! His bike was broken for a while, so when Nathan was able to fix it, it was like a new bike all over again!!!

Matthew loves to play with his big brother!

Last night, Matthew was sooooo fusy??? and we couldn't figure out why. He didn't have a fever, no signs of anything wrong other than he was just crying? It was about a half an hour before his bed time so we decided to just put him to bed early....well, that didn't work (he normally goes right to sleep when we put him), so I went in to see if maybe he needed to eat more...nope! Then Joshua (who is not normally allowed in the room when Matthew is sleeping) tippy toed in and Matthew just started to laugh his head off! He wasn't crying, so I let Joshua stay in. Matthew was all smiles now, then Joshua left the room and Matthew started to cry again?!?!?! I called Joshua back in and Matthew started to laugh his head of again. So, I let them play together on our bed for a few min....and guess what, when I put him back in his bed....he went right to sleep no hearing from him again until 6 this morning!
Lesson learned....there is nothing like having a brother!!!
They love each other so much and you can tell just by watching them play :) We love it!

Landen William

I wanted to share a picture with you! Our little cutie, Landen!
He is my brothers son (in more ways than one)! He looks just like my brother did!
My older sister, Alicia, is due with their 3rd child next week. Please remember to pray for her and the baby when you remember to. I will put their pictures up as soon as I get some updated shots!!
Love you little Landen!!

Its October...that means...

...We are still busy ;)
Joshua and Matthew enjoying Joshua's Thomas tent and tunnel. This is the first time Matthew has been in it!

Watching Baby Einstein in the tent....and a snack, dinosaur toast!

Headed for the tunnel...

Matthew wondering how to get down the tunnel :)

Matthew was having a blast! When he is very excited he doesn't smile right away, first he growls and then stares and his whole body starts to shake :) hence, his face!
