Pumpkin Patch and Halloween 2013

We headed out to Briley's Pumpkin Patch last weekend to find a pumpkin and do some other fun things! The Rhodes family joined us and AK and Mason had a great time!

Ready to head out! Please excuse the purple pants......that was a battle I chose not to fight!

Our 2 little pumpkins!!

Happy mama!

Riding Tiny another year

finding a perfect pumpkin

Halloween night we had several friends come over and trick-or-treat. Anna Kate had everything figured out this year and had a blast! I think she ran most of the neighborhood and came back with a bucket FULL of candy!

Making pumpkin cookies for her friends who came to trick-or-treat (my girl loves to bake!!)

Corban 6 months!

Our sweet Corban turned 6 months old yesterday. Happy 1/2 birthday sweet boy! What a blessing he is!

• You are a big boy! A good 3lbs heavier than sister was at your age :)
• We have just started cereal this week and he is doing great! 
• Fruits/veggies coming soon (hoping this will help you sleep a little longer!)
• You are such a happy and laid back baby
• You love your big sis!
• You can sit unassisted for a few seconds
• You can push your chest all the way up when laying on your tummy
• You love to people watch 
• You want to be held a lot (sister was the opposite)

Oh those chunky thighs!!

Practicing sitting up!

You love your sister so much and she is so good to you! She is reading the Bible nanny bought for you for your baptism. It's funny this Bible is all about the Great Wolf Lodge ;)

Sweet smile!!

This was after your first attempt at cereal......I think you liked it!!

Lots of Firsts for Anna Kate

Time is truly flying by now that I am back at work. I really didn't want to do go back at first but now I finally am beginning to feel like we are in a good routine. I've got great help with my babies while I'm away which makes it a lot easier! Anna Kate has done so many new things recently I decided to just put it all together into 1 post!

Anna Kate went to her first ECU home game! She had a ball! She made it through the tailgate and until halftime of the game. Grandma came to get her and take her home to Mimi who was keeping brother :)

This was her first day of 3 year old preschool. She is in Miss Kitty's class and loves it! She goes M-F 9-12.

This was the first day of her new gymnastics class. She moved up to the "little flippers" class. Mommy no longer goes on the floor with her :( but she loves it!!

Corban's Baptism

Our sweet Corban was baptized at my home church this past Sunday. We had so many family and friends join us for this special day! After the service we all went back to my parents house for lunch and visiting. What a great day!!

Corban is 5 months old!

On September 10th our sweet little man turned 5 months old. What a joy he is! He has been fighting off a virus for a few days now :( we have had some very long days/nights! He is learning to do so many new things and is so fun to watch. He loves Anna Kate and follows her with his little eyes everywhere she goes. Any time she interacts with him he just laughs out loud!

• He has found his feet!
• Weighs 17.8 lbs (we have had 2 dr visits in the past week!)
• Has begun to roll over consistently and sleeps on his tummy (this make me nervous!)
• Haven't begun solids yet but he is very interested in our food!
• Trying to sit up on his own but not quite ready!
• Does lots of "talking" when he's awake
• Loves the jumper!
• So much fun!

Sweet boy :))

Where is Corby?? (AK's nickname for brother!)

Happy Birthday Bryant!

Birthday lunch at Morgan's.........31 on August 25th!
