For play group a few weeks ago, we went to seriously, the cutest pumpkin patch that I've ever been to. I had a great time taking pictures of Adam and watching him explore the place.

He HAD to carry his pumpkin

So cute, his little face just melts my heart!

picking out his pumpkin

he was very intrigued by this pumpkin!

All his playgroup friends, although he doesn't really play with other kids yet, so there are mommy's friend's kids.

Adam was being shy

I loved this pumpkin patch so much that I HAD to bring all my boys out the next day to take pictures. I also knew that they would love the corn maze and picking out their pumpkin here.

Adam adores Peter and Peter is such a sweet and caring older brother.

Adam enjoyed running around.

handsome boys!

I love this picture of Adam. He looks so big to me!

Sam, my ham!

Sam's big pumpkin!

Peter's big pumpkin!

This place is really so pretty, it doesn't seem like Bakersfield!

The boys loved the bridge.

For Sam's birthday this year, he wanted an Army party. I was really excited to do this one, I am so tired of Star Wars and Thomas. Both boys have wanted these parties many times over the years and I am totally burned out on them. I'm sure when Adam is old enough, he will want them too. sigh..

Sam totally playing the part.

So many boys! They were all good, but so many boys are so LOUD and so WILD!

Cake time!

Presents!

Sam's new bike

Sam is such a sweet happy little guy. He is the clown in the family and is always doing something to make us laugh. I'm so glad that he is a part of our family and feel very blessed to me his mom.

Happy 2nd B-day Adam!

My little boy turned 2 Oct. 9th! He loves soccer balls (poor kid, that's all he knows right now) so We had a soccer party for him. We set up some pop up goals in our backyard so the kids could play soccer, and we ate and had a great time. Adam's soccer cake I made
I like seeing men in my kitchen cooking!

I think he was watching the smoke from the candles float up

TOYS!

Trunk or Treat

Our wards trunk or treat was fun this year. I didn't get too many pictures though, because the YW were in charge of the carnival, so I was busy with that. Also my older boys just ran around with their friends all night. I would see them once in awhile doing their own thing. It's really nice that I don't have to watch them, but then I don't get very many pictures of them. Adam actually has his hood on!
Indiana Jones looks lost.

My puppy found candy!

Friday night Peter's soccer team(the Gunners) was invited to play at half time of the CSUB game. Peter was super excited! They got to walk out with the CSUB players before the game and were introduced to everyone. Both the Roadrunners and the Gunners won and we all had a great time! Being introduced before the game

Halloween!

October has been one Crazy busy month! With two birthdays, my son's school booster club meetings, loads of church responsibilities, never ending soccer games and practices, and Halloween, I finally have time to blog! So I'm starting with Halloween and then I'll work my way back through the month. We had soccer games Halloween morning and then in the afternoon we carved pumpkins.

Adam thought he is a big boy holding the pumpkin carving tool
The finished products

Peter carved a ghost, he did everything all by himself. I thought he did an excellent job!

This is Sam's pumpkin. He carved a spider with a little help from me, he too, did an excellent job!

I carved a bat for Adam. He wasn't really interested in the whole carving thing until I put a candle in it and put the lid on.

My puppy, Clone Trooper, and Indiana Jones.

Nana and the boys

Spooky!

A hot day at the fair

My mom and brother came for a little while. Adam LOVES Uncle Jason!

The boys and I have a tradition of going to the fair on opening day. This year on opening day, the temp was well over 100 degrees. I didn't want to go, but the boys wanted to so we went and we were HOT! Watching the circus, under the shade.

Sam and Adam loved playing with the bubbles.

Sam's poor face, it was SOOO hot!

Later, I found out the ONLY reason Peter wanted to go to the fair was to get cotton candy! Really?!?!

While looking at the different collections, and spending a lot of time at the rocks, the boys each got a bag of rocks for $1.00. Boys are so easy to please! This is Sam looking at his bag of rocks

We only spent a few hours there, but the boys had a good time, and that's what matters right?

A cooler day at the fair.

We went to the fair for playgroup a while ago. The weather was wonderful and Adam and I had a great time with great friends! Adam and the cows. He is learning his animal sounds and cow/moo is one he has mastered!

Goat and baa is another he has learned. This picture was taken just moments before he went to pet a goat and it Baaed right by his face, scaring the holy snot out of him! I felt bad that he was so scared, but at the same time, I could not stop laughing!

I love having one on one time with this little guy!

playing in the corn



Gotta love a tractor...

and corn dogs!

A surprise!

The other morning, I was cleaning up the kitchen when I heard a scratching sound from the laundry room. I thought it was the dog or it was coming from outside. When it didn't stop, I went to investigate and this is what I found! A bird had somehow flown into the laundry room and was flying around. It let me pick him up and carry it all over the house before I put on a tree outside. Poor baby bird...

Sorry these pictures are blurry, I think the camera had a hard time focusing on something so close!

Adam was afraid of the bird, I tried to get him to pet it, but he wouldn't even come near it!

putting the bird back in the tree

Good-bye my little feathered friend!
