Pumpkin Patch-Round TWO!

We had another BEAUTIFUL Saturday so we decided to hit another pumpkin patch with the cousins. This time we visit Johnson Farms and had a great morning together!

lil punkin' posing for the camera

Here's Ikey eating a little bit of grass...

Wy guy got to get in a real fire truck and pretend to be a fireman! He was so focused that I couldn't hardly get a photo... or get him to do anything else on the farm!

We love spending fall in Kansas and are taking full advantage of this family-friendly city! I can't believe how many fun activities there are for the kiddos to do around here. We're loving all of our new adventures...

Isaac is 9 Months and going to be a BIG BROTHER!

My little rascal is now 9 months old and will be a big brother in April! He's still my BABY until then...

Ikey is a MOVER...he log rolls FAST and is now crawling backwards! He's really rocking and almost ready to crawl forwards too. Where did my baby go? Oh, but this stage is so FUN!

Here's my roly poly under the chair! and playing in the laundry basket!

I think Ike is eating Rice Krispies here or just making a really 'thoughtful' pose!

Isaac LOVES his bottle and Wyatt loves to be the one to feed it to his lil bro. It's so sweet!

Fun Facts About Our 9-Month-Old:

ISAAC...

• now says DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-! over and over. It is so precious! If you say dada to him, then he repeats it. He loves to feel like he's really 'communicating'. I love it!
• has little (and very NOISY) screaming fests with Wyatt in the car. Isaac is ALWAYS this instigator... He screams until Wyatt gets so annoyed that he screams back, then it becomes a game and they scream back and forth. It makes me crazy, but it's so fun that they have their own little games and are communicating in the back seat!
• is doing fast log rolls, crawls backwards, is rocking and getting really close to crawling forwards, and stand on all fours like a bear--it's so funny to watch!
• has his arms and legs and hand and feet moving constantly!
• have I mentioned how much he loves the WATER? Well, bath time is getting a little out of control with splashing. I'm covered head to toe with water after every bath I give Ike!
• is such a sleeper... he normally sleeps from about 8pm-7am then wakes to eat and heads back to sleep until 9:30 or 10am (if we're home!). We're normally out and about in the morning with activity so he normally just has to sleep on the go! Then he goes back down for a nap from about 12:30-3pm! He's a very good SLEEPER and an independent one at that!
• is just so CHEERFUL! He makes me smile every time I look at him.
• is going to be a perfect MIDDLE MAN in our family... He's got such a loveable personality and he's easy to adore! I'm not one bit worried about Isaac getting lost in the middle or having the 'middle child syndrome' as I hear many families talk about! : ) He's now a little brother and soon to be a big brother...I think he's got the best role!

I love you Isaac Owen... all the way to the moon and back!

Family and Football!

We were able to make it to one of my cousin's football games last weekend. Kadin is actually only in 6th grade, if you can believe it. Look at the size of this boy! He is quite the football player... Here are Wyatt, Ashtyn and Daxton admiring Kadin up close and personal after the big game!

Here are the boys with Grandma Great!

Mimi and Isaac having some fun together

Wyatt got his first piece of BUBBLE GUM and was quite excited about it, if you can't tell! It lasted for about 5 minutes then we asked Wyatt where his gum went and he replied, "It's in my belly!" Sure enough, he had swallowed it.

Flying off the Fort!

This is one of Wy's new favorite activities...

Pumpkin Patch!

We woke up to a beautiful fall morning so we decided it was the perfect day for a visit to the PUMPKIN PATCH at Deanna Rose Farmstead!

Here are our lil punkins playing in the hay!

Isaac was mostly interested in EATING the hay but I got one picture without a mouth full...

Mimi got to join us for our little excursion!

There were tons of fun activities for the little tykes to do...

And here are our little guys in the pumpkin patch picking out just the right pumpkin to take home...

Wy guy and Daddy had to carve the pumpkin immediately!

I LOVE this time of year! It was a great morning spent together as a fam. I'm sure this won't be our last pumpkin patch visit before the season is over, but today was a great way to start the month of October!

Hut Hut Bang!

Clown Guy Marker Face

When I left the room Wyatt was coloring a nice picture at the table... When I returned, he had was standing on the kitchen table with a brightly colored face, in the middle of coloring green circles all over the wall. Thank goodness for washable markers and those nifty magic erasers! : ) I guess you've just gotta laugh, right? I keep reminding myself that he's TWO and all of these little 'setbacks' in our days make for great memories later on! There's never a dull moment in toddlerhood...
