Pumpkin Patch











We took the boys to a pumpkin patch last night and they got to go to a petting zoo and pet some farm animals and then we walked around the patches and found three pumpkins one for each boy going from largest to smallest. We took some pictures and they seemed to have a really good time. We also asked another family that was there if they would take a picture of us all together so we now have a current family picture!

I cut my hair!



So I have always talked about cutting my hair and I finally did it. Here are a few pics of the new do!

Rub a Dub Dub, Three Little Men in a Tub!

Up until recently Jason hated being in the tub or shower unless he was in with Noah or I. About a week or so ago I decided to give it a try and put him in the tub with Logan and Blake and hope that he didn't scream and try to get out the whole time! Needless to say he loved it and just splashed around and played in the water. He now tries to get in the tub or shower whenever anyone is in and he isn't. Enjoy some pictures!
