Family Pictures 09

We had our family pictures taken in October. The first time we scheduled the pictures to be taken we were all sick. The second time we scheduled them Preston wasn't feeling 100% but we still went to JCPenny's. All Preston wanted was to be held so what you don't see in the picture of the brothers is Brandons legs under them, and his arms around them. We love getting pictures taken! :)

Children's Museum

For Brandon's dad's birthday we went to the children's museum in Olympia. It was a lot of fun. The boys played dress up, climbed tree houses and drove ferry boats, played in water tubs, drew pictures, and made tunnels using magnets. The place was pretty big. I wouldn't attempt it by myself because the boys wanted to go and do different things. It is a place for two parents! I would like to go back again sometime. Don't worry we didn't put the ducky back in the water!

Halloween Adventures

We had a great Halloween this year. Jackson enjoyed picking out his costume and decorating pumpkins. I learned that I will never pick out a costume two months early. Jackson wanted to wear it all the time and then on Halloween he could have cared less. We went to a birthday party in the afternoon of Halloween, then trick-er-treating, and then to our church's harvest party. We were all tired by the end of the night. Brandon and Preston stayed home for most of the activities because they both weren't feeling great. I don't think Brandon was too sad about that.

Fall Happenings

We have had a very memorable fall. We went to two different pumpkin patches. One was at a friend's house and the other one was Hunter Farms outside of Belfair. This is our favorite patch. The first two pictures are at our friend's and the third picture is Jackson stuck in the mud at Hunter Farms. We were laughing so hard and he was not happy!

We spent a lot of time with family this fall. My mom has been over numerous times and we have been planning play dates once a week with Brandon's parents. The kids love spending time with the grandparents. Brandon and I also got to go to a Rascal Flatts concert in Tacoma late October with our neighbors, the McCarty's. It was a lot of fun. The picture of us was taken at the dome. This is the first concert we have gone to since Jackson was in my belly. It was fun to do fun couple things. We even went to dinner at the Spagetti Factory. The only hitch was that both Brandon and James were running fevers, I had a cough, and Ally was all stuffed up! We did it anyways and now we have a story to tell!
