Pumpkin Patch 2012

Year #6 at Dewberry Farm was a blast!  They were open on Columbus Day and Bill didn't have school, so after football was over at noon we picked the boys up early from school and headed out to Brookshire!  It was about 68 degrees outside, sunny, and there weren't many people there.  It was just about perfect!

Major loved playing in the hay!

 



 

 

Major was loving the goat!  He kept squawking at him, but basically, the goat ignored him.

For the first time, we got to witness the pig races!  Here the boys are, waiting on the pigs...

On your mark...get set...go!!!  And as you can tell, they didn't really go, but it was fun anyway. :)

 

Time to get the pumpkin!  Brady found one right off the bat.

Here is our family photo!  A very nice lady out in the pumpkin patch took this photo for us and I think she did a very nice job!  Somehow, she even got Major to sort of look at the camera!  Eli is 6, Brady 4, and Major 14 months.

I love my guys looking for pumpkins!  Bill is one of the best pumpkin pickers I know!

Eli and Brady both got to choose their own little pumpkins.

 At this point, Major was totally done.  You can see he is just crying while my older two are cracking themselves up.  I love these guys.

 What a great day!  Now off to Cracker Barrel for our traditional after-pumpkin patch dinner!

Brady's First Soccer Game

Brady had his first soccer game on Saturday, September 22nd.  He did a great job!  In fact, he scored the first goal of his career and the season!  He scored three goals (in fact, he's had 3 goals in each of the 3 games so far).  He also gave our team their name, the Cheetahs!  And he created the team cheer!  (1...2...3...GOOOOO CHEETAHS!)  I told you Brady has been waiting for this!

Here he is with his serious soccer face ready for the game!

Brady before the game, ready to get started!

 

Go Brady, Go Brady, Go Brady...

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 So...Brady's coach admittedly knows NOTHING about soccer.  This should actually have been a throw in, but since she didn't know that, she had Brady kick it in when the ball went out of bounds. 

Goal #3!  He is definitely the team's leading scorer!

For the First Time...Baking with 3 Boys!

One of my favorite past time has been cooking and baking with my boys.  Time after time I've had them sitting on the counter or standing on a chair and making wonderful things with me!  A couple of weeks ago, I got to do it with all three of my boys for the first time!  Major LOVED it!  I think his favorite part was licking the chocolate off of the spoon. :)

 Sadly, because of the flash, Major HATES the camera.  So these are the best pictures I could get of him.  He was not happy when it was time to get down.  Don't worry, my sweet boy.  There will be many more times like this to come!
