Wheeler Farms

Last weekend we went to Wheeler Farms with Jenn and Eva for some Halloween style fun. Along with all of the stuff they regularly have there (farm animals etc) they had a tractor ride, a corn maze, and a pumpkin patch.

Noah did lots of running in the pumpkin patch. It was IMPOSSIBLE to get him to pick a pumpkin. So we just kind of picked one for him.

Kaiden was very happy the whole evening. Isn't he adorable?!

Wandering through the corn maze. Noah did a great job picking the correct paths.

Aren't they cute? They even look like cousins in this shot.

On the tractor ride.

FORTS!!!

The boys got to make their first fort the other day with their daddy!!!

Pictures like this you can tell that they're brothers.

Hey look! A FORT!!!

Noah had as much fun destroying it as he did playing in it.

Parent's House

My parents are gutting their house, moving walls and stairs, rearranging rooms, putting in new floors etc. etc. etc. From time to time I'm going to put photos up on here so you can all see the fun progress. This is where they were at as of yesterday afternoon. This is standing against the wall in what used to be the piano room.

LOVED IT

Squires

Tonight we had a fun little evening with Dennis and Janie. We got to their house for dinner, only to be told to turn around and go to Olive Garden. This got an "OK!" response from me. I love that restaurant and will gladly take any chance to go. I tried something new tonight (Four cheese sacchetti with chicken) and it was fantastic. Very easily my new favorite dish there. Noah had about 5 bread sticks for dinner. *Sigh*


After dinner we headed back up to Highland to watch How to Train Your Dragon. If you're thinking 'hey, they just watched that the other night with Luca and Live', then you're absolutely right! We liked it well enough that we went out and bought it and very happily watched it just a few days later.

Thanks for a great night Dennis and Janie!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE AND PAPA!!!!!

Dragon

Luca and Live came over last night for dinner and a movie. Fantastic little movie. I think we'll own it soon.

Farm Country

About a week ago we went to the Farm Country up at Thanksgiving Point, and were very pleasantly surprised at the selection of animals. They a ton of different kinds of goats, pigs, horses, donkeys, llamas, ducks, chickens, turkeys, rabbits etc. nearly all of which you can feed and get right up close to. The weather was great for us as well. Overcast, warm, light breeze, perfect.

Gobble gobble gobble

Kaiden was amazingly happy to be in his seat for once, and then slept through most of the trip.

I asked Noah what this animal was and he said "a lion!!!". Understandable confusion on that one really.

Crazy Hail Storm

A few weeks ago we had a CRAZY hail storm. It came down 4 different times that afternoon. Noah had a ton of fun watching the ice coming down and eating it whenever he could get his hands on it. I'd open the door and we'd all just sit there and watch it. At one point I looked out the front window and noticed the grass bulging. Our rain gutters are piped out under the lawns, and there was so much water coming through the soil couldn't handle it.

Captain Noah

Yesterday Z and I were both feeling pretty sick, so rather than Noah have a miserable day at home, we sent him to play with Grandma and Papa. He got to "drive" the boat, and was very excited about it!

Pre-Bedtime Fun!

The boys, hanging out and stalling before bedtime.

Four Months

K has officially made it through the first four months of his life, and this kid is a funny little spazz. He's cooing, eating his hands, trying to roll over, drooling, making raspberries etc. He still spits up on top of all of this, so he's generally a sloppy wet mess, but he's cute!

Length: 25 inches - 75%
Weight: 17 lbs 10 oz - 95%
Head Circ: 43 cm - 75%

He's a big kid.

I'm thoroughly amazed that he's been able to gain this much weight when he has reflux. He spits up about 2 oz of each feeding. He's just overall a big kid. I thought that Noah was a big baby, but at 4 months he was 14 lbs 10 oz, and 24 inches. K has him beat by quite a bit.
