fall pictures

I took the boys out late yesterday to grab some pictures to surprise the hubby with, to my amazement the boys did exceptionally well! they even smiled for me. I'd have to say these are some of my favorite pics of the boys together that I've been able to get lately.

(I don't have a picture but #1 snuck under the fence and tried to run thankfully I moved fast enough and he didn't get far)

#1 was telling #2 that there's fishes in the water and that papa will go fishing

bunk bed

#1 Got a new bunk bed which he absolutely loves! #2 will be joining in the fun very soon. We can put #2's toddler bed underneath or put a mattress on the ground. It's great because it's lower to the ground than most bunk beds and it has a boyish canopy that #1 thinks is just awesome. We got him some new sheets and a his very own soft blanket like the one he had claimed from mommy and daddy,oh yeah and pillow since he decided to take daddy's the one night and wouldn't give it back. Once #2 joins in the fun we'll put up some more pics

It's a BOY

We had our ultrasound today and we're having our 3rd boy, what a joy he will be! I'm sure #1 and 2 will be thrilled to have a little brother to join in the rumblin and tumblin. We took #1 to the ultrasound with us....he thought he was going to watch a "movie" of the baby in "his belly" at first he wasn't sure what to think but when we got to the 4d part he was able to make out that it was actually a baby! Here's some of the ultrasound pics enjoy!

kinda smiling :) with his hands up at the side of his face

picking his nose already????

He must like the umbilical cord in front of his face maybe it's a comfort thing....that's what's covering his eyes....it even looks like he's sucking his thumb

feet I love feet

there's no denying that it's a BOY!

Our baby boy's first video!!! He likes to move

Cherry Crest Farms

Today we took a family day and headed out to Cherry Crest Farms. It will definitely be a place we will continue to visit. They had a ton of activities for the kids and age friendly. The boys enjoyed every second of it, totally worth the admission you got your monies worth and you could choose the cheaper admission if you didn't want to do the corn maze which is nice when you have little ones that wouldn't enjoy it much.

The beautiful sunset as we were getting ready to leave. (the pics aren't in order)

#1 Loved holding the little chicks! He was able to pick them up on this own. We had to stop though once he decided he should help them learn how to fly.

The petting zoo had goats, sheep, pigs, Llama, chickens and rabbits (maybe a few others too) The boys enjoyed feeding them, thankfully #2 only attempted to eat it once, when he realized you feed the animals he totally had a blast.

checking out the pigs

teasing the sheep

pumpkin field, you got to take a wagon to the fiels and cut the pumpkins right off of the vines, talk about a fresh pumpkin!

#1 helping his brother get through the field, so cute!

Cutting the pumpkin off of the vine

Some neat handmade horses

The slide was awesome! you went really fast down it.

Tractor pulled wagon ride

neat contraption, you pumped the water to make the ducks race

There was a ton more activities to do there, next year we'll be sure to get there earlier! but we had a full 5 hours of fun. The railroad also ran through the middle of the farm, the boys enjoyed watching it pass through many times once they got used to its horns.

annual fall party

We had our annual fall party yesterday and had a great time with wonderful friends and delicious food! The kids had a great time painting pumpkins, painting with corn cobs, making bird feeders and hitting the pinata. I think #1 has a lot of his candy gone already, has a sweet tooth like mommy I guess. Looking forward to next year when we'll have 3 little pumpkins running around!
