Fall Leaves

The boys love playing outside in this gorgeous fall weather. Matty likes to rake the leaves into a pile, mess it up, and then start all over.

My Birthday Pals

Hanging out with my favorite guys on my birthday! They even smiled for a picture!

Fall Festival

We went to our neighborhood's annual Fall Festival yesterday afternoon. The weather was beautiful and the boys had a great time. Matty went in a bouncy house for a few minutes (then some big kids came in and he wanted out), and he also got a personal tour of a fire truck. They both liked listening to the band and playing with neighbor friends. And of course we had to ride the hayride two times...it was a very fun birthday afternoon for me!

Keeping Busy

The boys had another busy week! Time sure seems to fly when you're having fun.

Fun at the Park

I just love a beautiful fall day! The leaves are starting to change color and fall off the trees, and a crisp breeze was blowing. After Matty's haircut this morning, we took a walk to the park. Zach had so much fun going down the slides with Matty and laughing as Matty ran across the bridges. Stan even met a fellow dog friend there named Twix.

Pumpkin Patch

We drove out to Louisburg, KS this morning and visited the Powell Pumpkin Patch. The boys enjoyed the ride...so many trees, tractors, cows, & horses see along the highway! They chose 4 pumpkins and Matty wanted to pull them along in a little red wagon. We also went on a hayride, which was pulled by a large tractor. What a fun way to spend a beautiful October morning!

1 Year Checkup

Zach had his 1 year checkup this morning, and he did great. He only cried for a short time after receiving 2 shots. He weighed in at 23 lbs 7.6 oz (51%) and was 31.5 inches long (85%). So, the little guy is still measuring in as a tall, lean machine! Here are some pics from earlier this week.
