The Bird Man

Reid or "J-Bird" as we call him is quite the character. He has been cracking us up lately with his desire to wear knee pads. I don't know what his obsession is, but he picks up a knee pad several times a day that came in the package with Noah's bicycle helmet and wants us to put it on him. We strap it on him and he just grins from ear to ear. He thinks it's so funny, and it REALLY is. Noah's aunt Masey shared her old gameboy with him a while back, now he has his own Nintendo DS. The gameboy has been passed on to Reid since he thinks he needs something to play too. When he wants us to turn it on, he says "Booooey", "Booooey"...until we turn it on. It's hilarious..he will sit there and push buttons like he's really doing something BIG like his brother! Too cute! Here's a picture of him in his knee pad playing the "Booooey".

Pumpkin Patch

Fall is my favorite time of year! It seems like that's when we start our "holiday fun". We have a tradition of going to the TG Farms Pumpkin Patch in Newcastle. We always take a trip with friends. This year we went with our neighbors, the Aishman family. We had a great time. It was a beautiful evening and there weren't many people there. You know how I love the "Norman Rockwell" moments...well, I had planned on getting sweet pictures of Noah and Reid sitting in a pile of big pumpkins, but needless to say it didn't happen. I have boys that don't like to have their picture taken. No perfect "Norman Rockwell" pictures for mommy this time!!

A True Blessing

We are so blessed! We were able to celebrate my grandpa's 80th birthday party this weekend with family. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of my grandpa and the boys, but I got one of my grandma and Reid. The party was at my aunt's house. She lives out in the country, so Noah and his cousins were in paradise. They "chased bears" with sticks.
