FALL TIME

The boys eating their treat from Nana.







































Nathan was a fire fighter and Jared was an elephant for Halloween. They both had fun.


We went trick or treating in our neighborhood. It took Nathan a little while to warm up


and want to do it, but he would say trick and thank you.



























































I love this picture.















































Jared chowing down on an apple.


















I know that these are not in chronological order, but that is how I flow.








































Nathan decided to paint the pumpkin after we carved it. The most involved that Jared got was sampling the pieces of pumpkin that we cut out.



















































Nathan very proud of his pumpkin and saying cheese. He had to take his shirt off because he believes once it is wet or a little dirty he can't wear it.




































Nathan using a knife to cut.






































Nathan getting brave and touchy the slimy seeds of the pumpkin.






































Our yearly pumpkin carving tradition. Jared wasn't interested at all, but Nathan had fun. He didn't really want to touch the inards, but he took the spoon and scooped out the seeds. He was excited to use a knife to cut and pop the pieces out that we had cut out.



















































My big brown eyed boy. Who loves to tease his older brother already.

My handsome almost 3-year old after getting a haircut.

Pictures with my boys before heading
to church.
































We got Nathan a fireman costume for
Halloween, and he liked it so much that
he wore it all morning and would not take
it off for his nap. I finally convinced him
to let his bear right beside him wear the hat.














































Jared loves to read books these
days, espcially touch and feel ones.
































Ahhh! I love those smiles.
















The boys love to play outside together.

Nathan loves this pair of carpenter jeans because

he can put his tools in them and carry them around.

He went like this grocery shopping one time.

Jared loves to play on Nathan's motorcycle.

It has some fun music. He is soooo close to walking, but he has been close to walking for a couple of months now. He took two steps the other day, but I think with Nathan running around he sometimes doesn't feel safe to let go and walk. He has been standing up a lot on his own lately, and I think it is a matter of when he wants to do it.

Nathan loves to use my lip gloss. He will
even rub his lips together and smack them.

















Grandaddy and Jared



















Nathan and Daddy being silly.

















Nathan shooting some hoops.














The basketball stand that Matt built with Nathan
and that Nathan and I painted.

















Ahhh!! Jared giving Matt and kiss.
He likes to kiss our chins, but watch
out because he has 7 teeth.

I don't have time to write much with my munchkins, but this was our trip to Cedaredge and Pagosa, CO. We had a great time see family and spending time together. We played volleyball, tennis, went to a parade, watched movies, had a family reunion, played games, talked, and much more. Nathan got to sit on a digger and ride a tractor. The boys were able to see lots of animals. Nathan's favorite was the cat. Jared really liked the dogs and started crying when I took him away from some big dogs. It wasn't enough to see them through the gate; he wanted to go inside and pet them. We saw chickens, goats, bunnies, sheep, mice, cats, dogs, and more. We wanted to go to the drive-in, but they weren't showing kid-friendly movies. We enjoyed the perfect weather and getting together often with family.

The boys also had fun running through the sprinkler here in TX. Jared liked to play in it, but Nathan just wanted to hold it and spray everything and everyone. Jared likes to do whatever Nathan is doing. He loves to play with Nathan's drill on his workbench--anything where he can pull himself up.
