Mom's Surprise 50th

Just posting a few pics of mom's surprise 50th birthday party. We never thought we'd get her there but luckily she went along with the plan :)

Carolyn's Country Cousins

We have decided to make the trip to Carolyn's one of our Fall traditions. Although it is outrageously priced, Jack always has a great time. We introduced it to Brady this year for the first time. Jackson really learned what a pumpkin was this year. He could do almost everything they had available and Brady was just along for the ride. Jack's favorite part, of course, was feeding the animals. This was my least favorite part, however, because of our track record of being bit by the 'friendly' animals. Jack and Daddy rode the choo choo train this year which seemed to be lots of fun (for both of them, I'm sure :) We lasted about an hour and a half this year which is awesome compared to last year's 45 minutes. I love fall :)

New Pics

Here is our latest try at professional pics. It's much more challenging with Jackson now. You almost just have to just click click click as soon as he runs in the frame and hope that maybe he will be looking somewhere near the camera. Brady's still in that 'anything will amuse me' stage so he's much easier. They are also in their Halloween costumes in a couple of the pics. We went for the Bug theme this year. Jack is a Bumblebee and Brady is a Caterpillar. Too cute, huh?
