Colten the human piggy bank!!!!!

Sometimes in life we have days where we look up and say really?!? Yesterday was one of those days. They test us as people and as parents but at the same time make us stronger. I had found marker everywhere, by my oldest mind you, spilt coffee on the cleaned carpet, went to take a shower, finally, and the water was cold. Then Colten came in to tell me he needed a drink of water because he swallowed a quarter (which really means a penny or dime because he calls all coins a quarter). Luckily Dave came right home and I took Colten in. Sure enough as you can see he has a coin in his tummy!!! It's quite hilarious now. Now I get to check his poo everyday until it comes out! Fun!!!!!

Halloween

Trick or treat!! Hmmmm treat!

Ready to go!!

Cheese!!

Okay so I am a little late......but better late than never, right!?! We went trick or treating with our friends the Lee's. Cam was a power ranger, again. Colten was of course Thomas. Kai was a cow. They got a lot of candy so I would say it was another successful Halloween!

Our Pumpkins

Just wanted to post our pumpkin pics. Cameron picked out one on his field trip so I said it would be mine so they could pick big ones at the pumpkin patch. I took them to the store and got pumpkin design books. It was a lot of work but they turned out great!! Cameron picked out a tiny one for Kai and we drew a face on it. Hope every one has a Happy Halloween!!

Got it.

Feeding the goats.

On Wednesday we took a trip to the Hunter's farm pumpkin patch. It's the same one we have gone to every year. The weather was nice and clear that day so we really enjoyed ourselves. We fed the goats. It tickles when they eat out of your hands. Dave kept saying we should have one as a pet........nice try Dave. Dave took the boys through the hay maze and then the boys went down the big slide. After that we picked our pumpkins from the patch . It is so nice to create traditions as a family.

Cameron's kindergarten went to the pumpkin patch this week. Dave went with the class and had a great time. No siblings were aloud to go so I offered to stay home with the little ones. It's nice to have their Daddy do those things too. Here are some pictures that Dave took of their pumpkin adventure.

Our little Kai is not so little. He's quite high on the charts and it shows. He is 24 inches and 14 lbs. The size of a 4 month old. It is hard to believe that someone so cute can get even cuter every day. He likes to talk to the animals on his mobile. He giggles and smiles and is just a sweet baby. There is no shortage of love for him that's for sure. Cameron and Colten are doing good too. Cameron is reading and doing great in kindergarten. Colten has got his letters down and really wants to read like Cameron too!! He wants to do everything like his big brother. We love our boys so much!!!!!

Has it really been a month already? It's crazy how fast the days are coming and going lately. Kai had his one month check up today. He is growing like crazy!! 11lbs. 130z. and 23 inches!! He's at the top of the charts needless to say and filling out wonderfully. He is so strong and is really starting to notice the world. We had a party on Saturday celebrating his arrival. Our dear friend Sam came up and hosted it. We all had a great time. There were so many kids it was crazy! I just feel blessed to have such good people in our lives and a wonderful little family.
