Banana Mania

These boys love their daily bananas. I can't keep bananas in my house. I love making banana bread, but with these 2 around I never get a chance. This particular morning, Cannon ate 2 bananas and Brody ate 1 1/2. So glad they like healthy snacks.

Sneak Peak ~

Just a sneak peak at this years costumes...more pictures to come.

Carving pumpkins

Why does it seem that carving pumpkins was so much more fun when we were younger? I really don't think that Brody and Cannon enjoyed it either. Brody thought the "guts" were disgusting, so did I!!

To top it all off, we carved pumkins way too early in the month. We have had a fairly warm October, and the pumpkins rotted. Yep, they were thrown out before Halloween. I didn't even get pictures of the finished product....they were cute though.

I'm really going to have to rethink this carving thing before Halloween 2009. We might just have to stick to painting pumpkins.

Brody's new nap time

These past few months Brody has not been so easy to get down for a nap. He has decided that he doesn't need a nap everyday. I, being his mother, know better than that. I have to say if he doesn't get a nap in the afternoon he does go to bed real early, which is nice too!

We have had a pretty busy schedule. Play-dates a few times a week, and Brody's preschool 2 times a week, and just normal errands daily almost. Lately, I have found Brody just passed out in some pretty awkward locations and positions. This is todays nap. Cannon was in sleeping, and I was doing laundry. Brody just walked in from outside, sat in my chair, and crashed. I guess I don't care where or how, as long as he gets a NAP!!

Pumkin Patch at The Country Mercantile

On Sunday we took the boys to The Country Mercantile on Hwy 395 just north of Pasco. We have done this since Brody was born, and every year it gets bigger, better, and so much more fun for the boys. We were able to take a short little hay ride to the pumpkin patch where the boys were able to pick a few pumpkins to take home. They also had 2 bounce houses, a clown, straw maze, straw pyramid, and a petting zoo in the barn. The boys had so much fun, I wish we could do it again!!

Travis had to help Brody to the tope of this slide. It was a difficult ladder to conquer
By the time he made it to the second slide, Brody had climbing the ladder mastered.

Dad decided that Cannon was too heavy (nearly 27 pounds) to carry around, so he quickly "borrowed" a pumpkin wagon.

Brody actually wanted to ride this sheep, he settled for a simple pet of the nose.

Brody and Mom made it to the top

Brody wasn't too impressed with the clown, he did a great job though!

Cannon's new "Ride"

We bought this 4 wheeler for Brody when he was about 15 months, he LOVED it! When he outgrew it we put it away until Cannon was ready. It didn't take Cannon long to figure out how to make it GO. He loves it.
