Yeah for Fall

I absolutely love the fall. It was such a beautiful day today and I can't wait for more fun to come, leaves changing and falling, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, apple orchards, sweaters and sweatshirts, football, and windows open. We started the day off with going to Oak View Nursery in town here. We have been going to the pumpkin patch there at least the last 3 years and they just keep adding more and more. The neat thing about this year is that I now know the wife/mom of the family who owns it. She works with us at Willow. They have an amazing place out there and the boys had a blast. We went through the spooky forest with checkpoints, the corn maze with check points, on a hay ride, in the leaf jump, played mini golf, and went down the big blow up slide. We plan on going back again when daddy and others can join us.
Spooky ForestMy scarecrow, ghost, and pumpkin. Corn Maze -it was awesome!This is what happens when three boys ask to do a silly one and you let them. LOVE. IT.
We got home and daddy was home from work with lunch ready for us. He and Connor went to the Culture fest also. We haven't missed that in a few years either (no picture in the paper though - for those of you giving us a hard time about always being in the paper!!! ;) ). From the looks of what they all came home with, they had a good time. When they got home and the other two had woken up from their nap all four of the guys went out to play some football.

To top off our day, Kelsey came over tonight while Mattey and Kristin went out. We had such a good time. The boys absolutely love her. It's pretty cute, Kelsey loves books right now and she would get a book and follow Connor around until he would read it to her. He said that she does it at daycare all of the time and if he doesn't start reading to her she'll turn the page for him. I could tell he loved it. She took a bath with Jacob and Nolan, she sat at the table with all of us and ate, and I LOVED being able to cuddle with her before she went to bed. S.W.E.E.T.H.E.A.R.T!

We don't have a home computer right now, but both Matt and I have work laptops that we bring home. My computer won't allow me to do some things and one of them is download videos (or at least I can't figure out how to get past the administrator part) and I'm always afraid to use Matt's in case something would happen. I just happened to have my camera and the cord with and used grandma and grandpa's computer to download my videos on. Hope it works.

Connor loves singing to this Rock and Roll CD that he got from grandma and grandpa for his birthday. Oops.... I didn't realize I was taping with the camera sideways. Don't forget to push pause on the music to hear the videos.

Connor has been asking me constantly when Halloween is and far away it is. Tonight we made a Halloween Countdown man for him to use to countdown the days. All he has to do is rip off a chain link every day.

I went in to check on Nolan last night and found him sleeping like this!

This morning my mom and I went to the Farmer's Market downtown. I haven't been down there this year at all and I was extremely impressed. I had so much fun and spent waaaay too much money! Shhhh....Matt won't find out until he reads this blog! ;) I bought some corn stalks to put in our porch, some gourds, a necklace and earrings, and could have spent a lot more. After all of our shopping, mom and I walked for On the Move with mom's our family friend Kathy.

We went to the Culture Fest and Jacob and Connor had a blast learning about all of the countries and getting their passports stamped. This video is of the Celtic Spring Band that performed there. They were contestants on the first America's Got Talent and made it to the Top 5. They now travel all over. They were incredible.
