Houston Pumpkin Patch

This past weekend we headed to Houston to spend some time with the Houston Ellisons. We went to a pumpkin patch, and the kids had a lot of fun running around and checking everything out!

How about this one Mom?

Picking out the perfect pumpkin.

Emily was helping Jack carry the pumpkins around.

Nathan found one!

Look at that strong man- ha!

The best picture we could get of all three kids together. A four year old and 2 one year olds don't have time to sit still for some silly pictures!

I caught Emily right as she was telling me, "They have HULA HOOPS!"

A daddy and his boy.

A mommy and her boy.

Whew! All this pumpkin picking is exhausting! I think I'll have a seat...

Jack kept looking up at the pumpkin to say hello.

Busy boys!

Elmo! Jack took a minute to give "Elbo" a hug.

Then it was time for a little dancing.

Sweet boy! We are so lucky to have him!

Happy Fall!

The weather has cooled off a bit, so Jack and I headed outside for some fall pictures yesterday.

Ready to make the trek across the yard.

Headed to the pumpkins on the porch.

He looks like such a big boy here!

Saying hello to the scarecrow.

"I think I'll take this little one here..."

"Mmmm, this pumpkin looks good enough to eat!"

Silly on a Sunday

Jack discovered the bumper car he got for his birthday, and he has had so much fun with it lately! Does he know how to scoot it around? Yes. But why would you want to when you can sit and read on it?

Hmmm, what will I read next?

This looks like a good one!

While I'm here, I might as well play with my work bench!

Texas State Fair

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the State Fair with Makenna and her mom and dad. Both little ones had a great time people watching, seeing Big Tex, and eating some fair food!

Ready for the Midway.

Having a little snack at the car show...

Jack reaches over to take a snack from Makenna's stroller.

He got it!

Makenna is on to him, and now she's covering her food!

Sweet boy.

Howdy Big Tex!

Hmmm, what is that?

Jack's first bite of a Fletcher's corn dog.

He was a big fan!

So happy to be at the State Fair together!

Jack was checking out Makenna's stroller to see if there were any runaway snacks- ha!

Watching the Dumbo ride go around and around.

Makenna kept trying to give Jack a hug, but he was busy with other things.

"Oh well, I tried!"

We found a ride that Jack and Makenna were tall enough to go on. Jack is excited and ready to roll!

Woohoo! He loved it- he was laughing and giggling the whole time!

Another great State Fair trip for the Ellisons!

Rainy Sunday

Rain has been pretty rare these last few months, so while it was raining last Sunday, we went out to the garage to watch it pour down. Jack kept wanting to go out in it, so we stripped him down to his diaper so he could get wet. It's the little things that make that boy happy!
