The Pumpkin Patch

We FINALLY went to the pumpkin patch! We drive by a few all of the time but rain and life just got in the way, but we were finally able to go last week! Yay! I love going to the pumpkin patch. Unfortunately the day we decided to go it was SUPER windy and kind of cold, but at least the boys could wear long-sleeves! Usually we're wearing shorts to the pumpkin patch!

They had few fun rides for the kids to ride.

Even Jackson was able to ride! He's with cousin Elizabeth, and can you see Ben and Cooper in the background?

Then we went on a hayride. I don't think my kids have ever done one before.

They had fun.

Then we made them pose for pictures which isn't exactly their favorite thing to do. See how Jackson feels about it?

Next we went to a mini-hay maze. My kind of maze, you could see exactly where to go!

Cooper loves mazes so he was really excited about it.

So was Jackson!

He actually just loved throwing the hay I think.

There were a few bounce houses so the kids of course loved that.

J couldn't make it up that wall but he was able to jump in the bounce house! Look, he actually got both feet off the ground! He's getting SO big!

I think the hit was this slide.

The stairs were really steep so Jackson couldn't make it up on his own. I had to basically carry him up the stairs all the while praying I wouldn't fall down and land on all of the kids lined up behind me.

After that one time I was nervous I'd injure little children so I told Jackson he'd have to just watch. Well, this is what he did next.

So of course I took him up again.

Then the boys rested just a minute on this cute little bench.

And then we spotted Mickey!

Jackson's very favorite friend!

The last ride the kids went on was this mini ferris wheel. (the color is weird!)

Then we headed to do some pony rides.

Cooper told me he was going to say "giddyup" to the horse. Then he sat there so sweet the whole time.

We finally picked out some pumpkins.

Jackson discovered they make great seats!

We found a keeper!

The best way to end the day...getting a ride in a wagon from your little brother!

Rainy Day and Blast From the Past

I think this is going to be one of the last times Jackson's going to be able to fit in these pjs so I had to take a picture.

This is the kids wearing the same pjs (but with the pants instead) last May, 2010. I just want to squeeze both of these little kids! They look so much older now!

We have FINALLY had a few days of rain here! I don't even know if Jackson remembered what rain was! The kids had fun running around in it for a few minutes. This is the only one with Cooper. I realized why I always have so many more pictures of Jackson, Cooper is so bad with pictures! He is always looking off to the side, being silly, running around, etc.. I don't think he loves being in pictures :). So anyway, Cooper ran around a minute then went inside and Jackson continued to play in the rain.

He's not quite sure about it.

I just thought he looked so sweet in this one!

Can't get enough of that smile!

Now he's loving it!

A wet and happy boy!

Jackson

This post is all pictures of Jackson! We get lots of one-on-one time together when Cooper is in PK.


Love this picture of him!

While Cooper is in school Jackson gets to do fun things with me like going to Target! :) (although since he gets a dohnut while we shop he usually doesn't complain!) Sometimes we'll go to story hour at the library or do a playdate so that's fun too!

One day I decided to take a few pictures of him at this cute little place.

What a ham!

Now I need to take Cooper here!

Jackson is getting so big! He is talking so much and is starting to get into letters and numbers. He LOVES to play with Cooper and follows him around copying his every move.

We hope you have as fun of a day as we did! (If you can't tell, this is our reflection in the window of a shop)

It's Fun Outside!

This has nothing to do with being outside but I thought it was so cute of the boys!

It's actually not 110 degrees outside so we've been trying to take advantage of it!

Cooper discovered he can climb a few trees in our backyard and he loves it!

Wipe-out!

Here comes tough Cooper!

Bye mom!
