A Trip to the Pumpkin Farm

This past weekend we took the boys to Niven's Farm to pick pumpkins and enjoy all sorts of other fun activities. This was Grady's fourth year going and Anson's first. Needless to say, it has become a beloved fall tradition in our house! We ended up with 7 pumpkins and lots of fun memories and pictures...

Grady is always a ham, so I got some pictures of him with the pumpkins when we arrived





And the tractor - still smaller than a wheel :)



Baby A is harder to capture, but he was quite happy and excited about EVERYTHING





Out in the patch



Anson actually pushed the wheelbarrow!








Checking out a "pump-poo"





Farmer Anson assessing the crop



G-Man using the clippers for the first time!



The boys all pushed the pumpkins back to the farm store





Then we checked out some animals - this was a pig





Bouncing on the tires - Anson loved it but thought it was best to do it sitting





Sweet Grady is always picking flowers for his Mama



At the tee pee



Maybe some sort of Native American dance?





Hi Grady!



Such sweet brothers





Anson enjoyed this little playhouse





Some more bouncing





Hay ride time!





Checking out the chicks



We do this every year



For comparison, this was when he was about 23 month old (our first year)











There was a professional phtographer there, and he took some beautiful shots of Anson (we bought a few). Anson played peek-a-boo with him for a while. Unfortunately this is scanned so the quality isn't great.



So that was our morning at the farm. It was sort of fall weather (though it ended up being in the 80's that day) and got us in the mood for a fun fall season!

Baby Girl Pictures

I have about 8 weeks to go before baby girl is here (assuming I am induced early because of cholestasis). I just had a doctor's appointment yesterday and had another ultrasound. The tech decided to be nice and let me see some of her in 3D, which was awesome. The only issue at this point is that she is still head up (breech) but she does still have quite a bit of time to turn. I also took a few belly photos since I had not taken a single one yet during this pregnancy, and it is coming into the home stretch!

Cuteness

There was no other good title for this post. The boys have both been so cute lately - Anson because he has actually been ear infection-free for a week or so, and Grady because he is always just Mr. Personality and always doing something fun and new.

Grady went to his first nighttime birthday party last weekend, for his friend Rylee! He was the only boy invited, actually. They showed a movie on a screen outside, so they had to wait until it was dark enough to see it. He stayed up until about 9:30 and thought he was very cool! They wore PJs to the party - it was so cute!

Here he is hugging the birthday girl at the end of the night



Anson and Grady needed haircuts badly - here are some "before" shots of Ansy Bo - loving the measuring tape he found





And after, enjoying a pop







Grady!



I love the shirts they were wearing!



Anson loves our neighbor, "Miss Charlena" and loves to mess with her stuff and get into her garage. Here he is sweeping her driveway



And playing on her stairs





When I asked him to say "cheese"







Grady and his friends ready for a soccer game on Saturday!



Anson watching from the sidelines (reluctantly)



Hope you have all had your fill of cuteness :)
