Pumkins and family fun

Well, it has been a long time since I've posted anything. Our camera got stolen last month, and it took a little while to replace it. We did go to San Antonio in mid September, but unfortunately those pictures are gone along with our camera. That's the saddest part for me. The boys loved the dolphins and Shamu. The riverwalk was a lot of fun too! Since then we've been so busy and so I'm finally sitting down to play catch up. Michael had his 27th birthday on the 14th that was celebrated by spending time with family and a nice kid free dinner. My brother Dustin also turned 30 in September which we celebrated at his new house in Forney (We are so glad he and Misty are a little closer to us). Other than that, we've tried to spend as much quality time together as possible! Caleb, Trevor, and Ava give big hugs at Grandma and Grandpa's for Daddy's birthday.We sat outside and enjoyed the beginning of the nicer fall weather.
Our newest neice/cousin Elizabeth was being passed from family member to family member. We all know how fast she is going to grow, so we have to hold her as much as we can now. Isn't she adorable?


The kiddos enjoyed playing with Grandpa's new dogs.



We went home and spent some playtime in the backyard with the boys.




Caleb and Daddy trying to catch bugs. Such a boy thing!





Bob and Larry with Grandpa. We went to Grandma and Grandpa's again after the fall festival at their church. The boys can't get enough of their grandparents.






Last Saturday I took Caleb and Trevor to the Pumpkin Express in Argyle. We got to ride on a little train and enjoy the pumkin patch.





I decided to try to get a few shots of the boys in their costumes, but Trevor was tired all he did was stare into space and suck on his lollipop. Caleb had a blast running around and picking up pumpkins.









Here is Trevor (Bob) and his lollipop. I just love the hat/stem.






The boys climbed up on all the hay to play and take pictures.











The boys hugging with their costumes on.












Later that same day Caleb was put in time-out. Trevor decided to join his brother, and I thought this picture was priceless. We sure know how to punish our kids!










On Wednesday we went to the Arboretum with our friends Rhett and Rebecca and their little boy Fielder. It was nice to take the day off and spend time with the boys. We got a lot of cute pumpkin pictures and the boys had a wonderful time playing together.















































Fielder and Caleb on the fountain frog. They kept sticking their hands in the water so everyone would get sprayed.
















They loved that frog!
















One of the few shots we got of the boys together. It's difficult getting them both to cooperate with the camera at the same time!



















I sure love my Caleb!


We've had a great couple of months. Trevor is starting to talk up a storm. He says cracker, thank you, more, milk, mac and cheese, no, stop, bye, ball, water and much more. Notice many of the words have to do with food. He will definitely communicate when he wants to! He loves running around doing whatever his big brother is doing at the time. He is very loving and sweet!
Caleb goes to pre-school two days a week. He is really flourishing being with children his age. All of his teachers say he is very shy. At least he is at first. Once he warms up to someone they can't get him to stop talking. He has been writing his name very legibly consistently. He is recognizing words that start with the same sounds. He is starting to add and subtract. I believe he will be reading before we know it. He loves to make people laugh and is very fun-loving.
