Happy Halloween!

The Cousins

My boys

Pumpkin Patch

Zach and I went to Janoskis Pumpkin Patch today with Jen & Eli. The two college graduates got lost on the way there. So we finally got there and we thought we lost Jen's money (it was under my shoe). We had a good time. We didn't walk through the maze because it was too muddy. The kids got their faces painted, jumped in straw, rode bikes, and went through the haunted barn (not sure if Eli liked that). Then we took the kids to McDonalds because our $20 didn't leave us with enough money to eat at the pumpkin patch. That's a shame!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRODY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE!

Award Time

Zach's school has started a program called "Building Block of Character". Students are encouraged to display the qualities and traits that build a good character. Each month a new trait is emphasized by the teacher. A monthly school assembly is held and a student from each class will be recognized for displaying that character trait. Zach was the person from his class that was recognized at the assembly for September, a positive attitude. Hopefully this is the first of many awards for my little man.

Happy 1st Birthday Nate

1st Birthday Party

Nate's first birthday party was on Saturday. The poor thing had an ear infection, so I'm not sure how much he enjoyed. He got a lot of great stuff that I now have to figure out where it goes. People with children will understand what I mean. Nate eating his cake with no icing. It's hell being allergic to dairy!Nate's friend Jack.
