Pumpkin Patch

I took off the Thursday two weeks ago to hang out with my family! We decided to go to the pumpkin patch! Since it was a week day, Paul couldn't go with us. It was also weird going on a weekday compared to a weekend. It definitely wasn't as crowded, but none on the vendors were there, no trains were running...so it just didn't have the same feel to it! Lane didn't care though!

.Mommy and her boys!

I can't resist a little comparison picture! Here is Lane and Levi in the same photo opt!

This year they added Gabba cut outs...so cute!! 

and the Smurfs!

Brody and Lane with Woody and the Gang

Brody and Levi...love this pic!

Cutie pie

Of course he wanted to eat the grass!

On the hay ride

Sisters with the boys!!

And this was what I had when we got home!! Two worn out boys!!

Boo at the Zoo

We went to Boo at the Zoo again this year!! They changed it to daytime instead of at night ( I like night better).

One of the things I love about Boo at the Zoo is that kids dress up, and I love seeing all the precious little costumes!

.

Our boys were no exception!! They were precious little superheros! I borrowed this pic from my sister's blog...thanks Britt!

Loved this big lizard at the zoo entrance!!

Lil Robin

This makes me laugh!! Levi holding onto Lane's cape!

Cute photo area but hard to get three little ones to smile!

Aunt Kelly helping Levi "play" some games at the Halloween area!

Lane played all the games!

Then they got to paint pumpkins!

I may have helped Levi with his!

Stopping for a snack

Love the MOLA!

Daddy and Lane

Again...thanks Britt...for the borrowed pic..haha!!

And even though there are no pics of them...Grammie, Nana, Papa, Robin, and Kelly were all there with us!! What a fun afternoon!

Fright Fest

While my sister was here, we took the boys to Fright Fest at Six Flags! They had alot of fun!

Here are all the kiddos...Jared, Lane, Brody, Haley, and Levi



Lane rode these spinning tea cups for the first time. Jared usually rides some of the kiddie rides with him, but they wouldn't let him on this on! So Lane just went right on in with some other boys...I was a little nervous that they would spin in fast...but they didn't and Lane loved it! He looked so big riding it all by himself!

If you look close enough you can see him smiling!

Next up was the kiddie rollar coaster, which he rode with Paul!

So brave.

I love this shot!

Flying the plane

My boys

It was packed that day so we didn't ride awhole lot other than kiddie rides and the train! Then we left early to go watch the Rangers...which they lost.

.

Lane loves Six Flags and he had a great time with all his cousins!

Never Say Never

For as long as I can remember, I have never ever liked Nascar. I've always mocked it...thought it wasn't a sport..and just down right hated it! I've always said that it's just a bunch of cars driving in a circle, and no way I would ever go to a race. EVER!!!

.

Well....guess where I am going Sunday....

yep to a Nascar race!!

Never say never huh!?!?

.

So what changed....well it's simple...my sweet Lane...who is a NASCAR freak at this point in his little life!! He knows the name and number of every driver. Can look at a car and tell you whose it is. Knows what cautions are, knows when drivers are racing with different cars, and all about what goes on at pit road!!

.

I tell ya..he is very into it! Paul took him to a NationWide Race last year, and knew this year he wanted to get tics to the Sprint Cup Race.. (look at me...I'm even talking Nascar lingo!) Paul asked if I wanted to go, and even though I never thought I would say yes, I did! There will be nothing better than seeing his sweet little face on Sunday...and how could I miss that!!

And not only did Paul get race tickets...he splurged and got Pit Passes for all of us!! He will say for Lane...but I know he secretly wanted them to ;)

So hopefully Lane will get to see and meet some of his favorite drivers...and I'll be keeping my eyes out for Mr. Jimmie Johnson ;)

So any tips on surviving a Nascar race???

.

Oh the things we do for our kids!!

Sometimes Being a Brother is Even Better than Being a Superhero -Marc Brown

A friend showed me this quote and I think it fits the occassion perfectly!! These boys don't understand it yet, but one day they will!!

.

Tonight was another fun filled Halloween! Lane was over the top excited about trick-or-treating this year!!! In part because he has been so excited about wearing his costume!!

And Levi had his first Halloween!! He enjoyed trick-or-treating from the comfort of his stroller! He loved it...just sat and watched!
.

.When Lane told me he wanted to be Batman this Halloween, I knew exactly what Levi would be...I mean there will be a time when I can't really have my say with both boys!!

.

I think these two are the cutest little superheros!! This mommy is super blessed to have them both!!

Favorite quote of the night...."If I ring the doorbell twice they'll give me two pieces of candy"! Precious boy!!!

Batman

Robin

...someone was a little interested in the grass!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Levi Austin: Six Months

SIX MONTHS!!!

Oh my goodness time has flown....half way to a year already!!

I think you have changed the most this month!

*You have definitely mastered rolling. We will put you down and you will just roll all around.

*You have also just recently started sitting up by yourself. You have pretty good control and only fall over if your trying to reach for something!

*Speaking of reaching for things....you reach for everything!!! And everything goes straight to your mouth.

*When on your tummy, you are actually trying to "scoot"...you pull up your legs and get on all fours and try to crawl....I think it won't be long!

*You are eating soilds. You have had all of them so far.

* You are wearing...depending on the brand...6-12 month clothes!! You are definitely my big boy!

*You just had your first cough/cold.

*You sleep through the night.

*You  love to laugh and smile!

You are such a good baby!! I can't believe you are six months old. I need time to slow down!

Here is my little stinker sporting some of his Halloween pjs!!
