Happy Birthday John...30!

Having fun playing with Dad after we got home from New York.  The kids were so happy to see their Dad!
 

 

We celebrated John's birthday last weekend. He requested a Pecan pie for dessert and the kids had fun watching him open his gifts.


 

 

 

I also threw a little surprise party for him at our house Saturday night, he guessed what was going on a couple hours before hand but we still had fun with some friends.  I am a terrible liar. :P

Pumpkin Patch

We went to a corn maze and pumpkin patch with Nathan's kindergarten class.  John had the day off so he stayed home with Owen during naptime.  I had fun with Nathan and Alex.  Alex was so happy that he was able to go too!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Owen loves books

 

 

Owen is so happy to play by himself and entertain himself, it makes it quite easy to be his mother. :)  He has discovered that it's best to smile for the camera.  He smiles and poses away now when I get the camera out.  He is a pretty happy kid which makes for a pretty happy mom!

Owen turns 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It took him awhile to figure things out as you can see from a couple pics, but once he did, I think he thought it was quite great!  I love crying pictures so I had to include that one, and the messy cake pictures are always a must.  This kid is sure getting a personality, and I love him!

Soccer Fall 2012

Alex's first year playing, he did a lot of running up and down the field just watching the other kids, but he had a blast.  His favorite part of course was getting the snack at the end of the games and the trophy at the end of the season. :)
 

 
Awesome spectators!

 

 

It was a lot of fun watching Nathan play this year.  His age group really is getting the game.  It was fun to watch him steal the ball.
 

It made for some tired and sweaty boys! 

Matching Jammies

 

These kids LOVE to wear matching pajamas.  They think it is the coolest thing ever, and I'll take it while I can.  Owen wasn't quite walking yet, so they are helping him stand.

 

Silly boys!
