Playing Together

The beginning of all five boys playing together! Although still rare, I enjoyed seeing all of them "farming" together. This special moment lasted a short while....then Jud was back to getting into everything! :)

This is always Daddy's job....thank goodness! I feel really fortunate to be married to a guy that takes on these messy seasonal traditions. (Dyeing eggs is his baby too!)
Justin loved being a big boy and scooping out his own pumpkin. As you can tell by the picture, he took his job very seriously!Daddy pretty much did all of Johnny's pumpkin. J.R. does not like to get his hands dirty. I know from experience that he will not always be this way. :)
I was impressed with Jared's carving. He didn't even ask for help. My firstborn is growing up so fast.

Jesse's cracked me up. He made this expression on his pumpkin to match one of his silly faces. Pretty close, wouldn't you say?

Grandma Connie's visit

My mom came for a visit in October. The boys always get more reading time in when she is here!

Justin celebrated his birthday again....lucky!


My mom was showing the boys pictures from her trip. The boys were really into certain pics and kept asking to see them over and over again. :)
It was nice to show my mom a few of the changes in Woodburn and have her attend church with us on Sunday. We are looking forward to her next trip up.

Our goat, sheep, horse, cow, and pig....

Unfortunately we visited Bauman Farms when they were closing. I still can't believe we didn't spend more time there. I guess there is always next year!

Siver Falls

One Monday in October we took the boys to Silver Falls State Park. The weather was so beautiful...and with the rain pouring down right now, it was good we went when we did. :)


We had a good time hiking around, but I was sore and tired when we were done. I think all the boys were pretty exhausted. On the walk back to the suburban Jesse was giving J.R. piggy back rides because I couldn't carry him anymore!

This little guy had the easiest time...a comfortable ride six feet up!

Our new park

Before the rains hit, we were able to find a new place to walk/ride. We do have to drive there, which isn't as convenient as our Centralia home, but since this is a park, the boys enjoy being able to play on the playground too.




J.R. loves the slight incline here. Look at those legs as he rides his mot-e-cycle!

AARRGGGHHH!

For some reason my camera will not upload pictures to my blog... and just when I had determined to be better about blogging! It is very frustrating for a computer dummy like myself. Hopefully we will get the problem figured out soon. Any suggestions? :)
Have a happy Wednesday!
