Pumpkin Carving

Last week we went to the pumpkin patch and the kids picked out a few different pumpkins to carve. Tucker got one for himself and we also purchased a carving kit for him to be able to carve his own pumpkin. He was super excited. He did really good and actually did most of it himself.


Everyone is getting in on the action.


Tucker picked out a "Bat" pattern for his pumpkin.

Hard at work.

Tristan enjoyed being outside.

Happy Fall Y'all

Cox Farm

The weather here the past week has been wet and cold and finally yesterday we had a perfect day. It was sunny and about 75 degrees. We decided it was time to go to Cox Farms. It was actually nice enough that we could all go and I really needed the fresh air and sunshine.



The good old barn slide. Jacob was a little scared to go by himself.

Johnny loves the castle slide!

Tristan was with us but slept in the stroller the entire time!

WOW, I know how she feels!

Here they come!

Good Times.

Fire Station

Last weekend our local fire station had there yearly open house. The boys love going so as soon as Johnny got off work he took them to the festivities.

Nothing but trouble!

Pumpkin Patch

This past weekend we headed to our local pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkins for Halloween. The kids have been looking forward to this since the summer.


This little guy was getting into everything!


Tucker is getting too cool for pictures!


Time to go play.

That's a big pumpkin!

First Bath

Last night Tristan got his first bath! I guess being the 3rd child and all I didn't have to look for the baby bath tub so he went straight into the big bath tub. It started out pretty good but then it just went down hill. He liked it at first but then just screamed until I got him out.


Not so sure.


Ok, get me out of here.


All nice and clean.

We've survived the first two weeks!

Well, its been two weeks since little Tristan came into our world. We are all doing great and I am finally feeling back to normal. Yesterday I vacuumed and cleaned our bathroom. I hate to clean but I actually enjoyed doing the work.

Tristan is the love of my life! He is the best baby of all my babies. He has the sweetest personality and is already sleeping like a pro. I feed him and he just hangs out. Last night I put him down around midnight and he didn't wake up until 8 this morning. That is crazy. It is amazing what sleep does for you. I got up, fed the baby and took Tucker to school. Tristan had his 2 week Dr. appointment and he looked perfect. Here are the results from his appointment:

Weight: 9 pounds 4 ounces 55%
Length: 22 1/2 inches 75%



What a crew!
