Pumpkins and gourds?

Well the whole family made it out to the pumpkin patch. Our first trip! B was hilarious. He was running everywhere and trying to do all the activities we would get him close to. He kept trying with all his might to pick up this pumpkin, but finally gave up. Poor little guy!He was so proud of his gourd that he picked right off the vine. His first real "smile for the camera" picture. He loved climbing the mountain of hay. The big kids were to the right and he wanted to do everything they did. Isn't it too early for that?!?

His first experience with a scarecrow and he was definitely scared. He warmed up to it once he touched the clothes and nothing happened. He is so brave.

The picture came out great, but you wouldn't believe what was going on behind the scenes! Oh well, the picture is what we will remember.

We had a great time going to the pumpkin patch for the first time last weekend. B was a trooper! The weather was perfect, but he is still too little to do alot of the activities.

This one was my favorite picture because I was reminded how little he still is. I am so lucky to be B's mommy! And on wonderful family outings like this I hope he feels lucky too.

October Already?

At the request of a fellow blogger, I was told to blog MORE! So, here's an update of my family:

B has been growing so fast it is shocking. My baby has definitely turned into a boy and WOW is he fun! We recently visited our State Fair and B got to see all the animals. I don't know if the other visitors enjoyed his screaming and hysterical laughter, but he had fun.

B also got to ride his first carnival ride. It was a little train and he liked it, but didn't like leaving Daddy by himself!

B also set up his webpage for Trick-or-Treat for Unicef today. He has a pretty lofty goal of $500 this year, so we spent the afternoon setting up his page and sending out emails. I put a link for his webpage on my facebook, so take a look! As a special treat I am including some pics of his "Lil' Stinker" costume from last year. I can't believe it has been a year ago already.
