Annual Pumpkin Patch Trip

October's in FULL SWING which means it is time for our annual Pumpkin Patch outing! This year was a little different... it was 100 degrees by the time we left.... mom tried to dress us in Fall clothes to help get us in the mood - but we would have rather been in our swimsuits!

As soon as we got there - Addie looks scared and Matty Moo looked bored to tears... I remembered it from last year... and I knew it was going to be TONS of fun!


I didn't waste ANY time - I went straight to the pumpkins and picked one out before they were ALL gone...

This is our dad with our friend John.... They seemed to be enjoying watching us play in the corn pit! We finally found a way to get Dad in with us... we just refused to get out... he had to come in and catch us.

Sissy LOVED the corn pit... she wouldn't sit still for one second! I think her owls loved the corn too! Mom even found corn in her diaper later!

We loved this so much we want one in our backyard.... we'll have to work on dad A LOT more before that will happen.

Matty Moo loved to throw the corn EVERYWHERE!

When they finally got us out of the corn pit - Alaina took me on a train ride! Alaina is lots of fun cuz she is a lot older and can take me on cool things and I don't have to look like a baby and ride with my parents!

I had a ton of fun posing for fun pictures...

And riding bikes on the lawn....

Racing Dad on the bike course.... bouncing on the bounce house.... and the list goes on....

Wait a minute.... what has Matt and Addie looking so stressed?

Check it out - dad is shooting tomatoes at a target! It was a LOUD gun and was pretty cool!

Oh! So close dad - better luck next time....

There seems to be one theme to all fun places.... it always has to come to an end... I pulled my famous "limp body" move - but dad is WAY stronger than I am and just picked me up... he promised we could come back again next year.

Mom Tricked Me...

When it was time to take a nap today - I told mom that I didn't need a nap... I promised to play quietly and strangely - She caved... I should have known she was up to something! She wanted to play with some new things she learned with her camera AND her computer.... and YUP - you guesses it - I was lucky enough to be the model...


In case you forgot - I am 3 now... see... 3! It's kinda hard to make your hand stay like this - but I promise - I am 3!

It's football season which means our TV is ALWAYS playing some game or another.... we are a split house - Cardinals and Cowboys.... I think I still like cars better than football so far...

Mom even put me in this button down shirt... come on mom - where's my t-shirt? Dad and I are more t-shirt kinda guys!

I tried to make a field goal - but ended up landing on my tush - completely missing the ball... mom said she was glad she got to capture my little piggies....

As mom sounded desperate in her pleas to get me to look at the camera - I decided to give her one of my "how could you get frustrated with me?" looks... works EVERY time...

I was determined to get this shirt OFF... but mom made me keep it on. Button shirts don't come off over your head very easy - mom says this should be a mascara ad... what the heck is mascara?

Finally mom let me hang out with my dog! Yikes... get a load of her tongue - I totally can't do that.

Mom said Daisy sticks out her tongue to cool off... I tried it... and think it's overrated!

Peek-a-Moo

A Surprise for Dad...

Yup, a football themed surprise for dad! It's not quite his birthday yet...but we decided the best time to surprise him for his birthday is when it is a long, long, way off...

So, we decorated the house and threw a Monday Night Football party... which was Cowboys themed... The Cowboys are dad's favorite team ... Check out that cool frame I painted for him all by myself! Inside that frame was his REAL present... yup, TWO tickets to the Dallas game IN the new stadium! He was pretty excited....

Yup - we pulled it off - we surprised him and he had NO clue what we had planned! Mom has since removed ALL evidence that we ever had a Cowboys party in our house... this is Cardinal Country around here!

Aloha!

Our Nana just got back from a birthday trip to Hawaii! She taught us that Aloha means hello, goodbye, and I love you.... guess Hawaii's NOT an island of many words! No wonder why our dad loves it there so much! Nana brought us all back some Hawaiian outfits... Sissy can't seem to take hers off....

Here's our little Hawaiian girl playing ball with Daisy in our backyard....

And practicing her soccer skills... Cousin Merry - ever thought about coaching us someday?

She was having so much fun running around - we couldn't get her to come back in the house! We are all enjoying the cool 90 degree weather.... it's downright COLD out here!

When mom told her to dance the hula - she was a little confused...

But caught on quick - and now LOVES to dance the hula... I am sure our dad is going to be as happy about that as he is with the length of this shirt!

After all that dancing and running around - Sissy decided to calm down by coloring with me on my new chalk board... she's pretty good at the coloring too!

ALOHA~
