Fabulous Fall Fun

What fall would be complete without a trip to the pumpkin patch and some pumpkin carving, topped with some lazy days just hangin’ around!?!

Last week, Scott picked me up at work and we headed down the road to pick some pumpkins. Owen was more interested in checking this little guy out than he was about anything else for awhile….

That was until he started his wagon ride….IMG_3820

He loved it, can you tell?

“OOOOH, ball” he kept saying out in the pumpkin patch

Cheese….

Family photo op…IMG_3833

Last night, we decided it was a good night for pumpkin carving, Owen thought that was a pretty darn good idea too…IMG_3849

But, come on, what pumpkin carving event would be complete without a family sing-a-long of the “itsy bitsy spider”?

Give the kid a spoon, he tries to eat, no matter what…IMG_3853

I started to crop this picture down, but then decided better of it, since i thought it was quite humorous that #2 had to get in the shot also (look closely on the bottom – I’m wearing a green shirt – the black and red is just the camera strap – come on, i know my belly is big, but not THAT big)IMG_3865

Scott wanted #2 to be a part of the festivities too, so he carved a little foot print….so sweet!

carving w/ papa! IMG_3870

Owen did great during carving time, he sat right on the table and didn’t even try to move for almost a whole hour…he loved scooping the pulp back into his pumpkin and then giggling about it and he loved just sitting and watchingus scoop out and carve pumpkins …

Here is the finished product…IMG_3890

and as I mentioned earlier, what fall is complete without some lazy down time? Here is Owen on the day he never got out of his jammies, just hangin out w/ Granmuffin…

Nothin says Sunday morning like loungin w/ Papa and catching some Mikey Mouse Clubhouse on the tube…

Birthday Buck

Today is Scott’s 30th Birthday! 

One of his birthday rituals is going out hunting – and this year was no exception, so around 6:30 he got up and was out the door on his way to hunt down a biggun’.  And, this year he actually did get his birthday buck!  It wasn’t the ‘monster’ he swears is out there, but that was just fine with him, this one was a keeper! I asked him if he got ‘buck fever’, cuz I just think that’s ridiculous and hilarious at the same time (I’m also the wife who always asks, “honey, did you catch a deer'”).  No buck fever, but he sure was one very  proud birthday boy! 

Here are Scott and his dad dragging the deer in from the woods…100_5108

and of course, what hunter would have a complete record of the day without including his son in on the action in some pics?

Owen thought the deer was pretty cool!

Happy Birthday, Scotty Kole and congratulations on your first birthday buck!  :)

picture update

not much new – lots of trying to get the house ready for #2  – projects, projects, and more projects.  Still painting the basement, but we’ll get there! 

We’re planning to get our pumpkins this week – so I’m sure we’ll have many more pictures to post later! 

In the meantime, here are some recent ones of Owen, the boy of many expressions!! He’s such a performer, he loves to put on a show….here he is a little curious of the camera…

Then he remembered something….Look papa….

Do I Hear an Echo?

Yup, one of Owen’s favorite spots, on the desk – where he sits and plays with pens and pencils and stays relatively occupied while I manage to catch a few quick minutes online. Oh, and yes he also LOVES switching the monitor off and on...I tell him 'uh oh' and he he decides to add that new phrase to his vocab....
