Pumpkin Patch!

The path was LONG and Ryker only lasted down one stretch and had to be carried the rest of the way.

We looked long and hard for the PERFECT pumpkin.

I went for BIG of course.

Sister was leaning more towards these rinky dink things she calls Gords.

When it came time to posing for pictures I wanted nothing to do with it. That's my sisters calling, not mine!

HAVE A WONDERFUL HALLOWEEN SEASON!

Thirsty?

These days Ryker likes to do everything himself! When he discovered he couldn't reach the cups he took matters into his own hands...

4 Wheelin' Fun

Hadleigh wants so badly to be a motorcycle girl so we thought we'd start her out on 4 wheels and recently got her this 4-Wheeler. Mom's not brave enough to let her drive alone yet but she does do all the handling with mom or dad on back. Ryker has also decided he likes it and throws a huge fit when his turn is over...so much that we've been putting them both on just so we don't have to listen to Ryker yell.

Who Needs Toys?

When you can spend hours playing in a box of packing foam!!

Papa's Farm

Ryker can't get enough of riding on the tractor with Papa. In fact, every tractor we see, regardless of the color or size, is Papa's tractor if you ask Ryker.

On our latest trip we also picked tomatoes and peppers, checked on the pumpkins and got to feel the broom corn.

Trip to Omaha

Mom's been super busy at work so we decided to get away for Labor Day weekend. We headed to Omaha to visit the Children's Museum and stay in a nice hotel with a pool. It ended up being a great trip! Uncle Tim and Aunt Rebecca came down from South Dakota and spent the day at the museum with us and then took us downtown for dinner, a carriage ride and ice cream. We ended up at the hotel for a quick swim and then we all sacked out!

After sleeping in we headed out for a big breakfast and some quick shopping before making a slow trip back home after visiting cousins in Seneca, Papa and Gamwa and friends in Frankfort.

Ryker would have been fine playing in the water fountain all day.

Daddy started making a clown face but Ryker wanted to help so they went camo/war paint.

The fire truck was WAY cool!

Purple Power Play on Poyntz

It's Wildcat football season and the best way to kick it off is at the community pep rally on Poyntz. You have to wear as much purple as you can to fit in. Mom and dad didn't think the mohawk was enough...it HAD to be a purple mohawk!
