Goofing around

Pumpkin carving

Grady cleaned and designed the face. Sandy and I took turns carving it. 

Field trip

This week I drove for Grady's class field trip to the ... pumpkin patch! Grady was happy to have us along, and Hunter enjoyed seeing the pumpkins and animals again. 

Grady's class crowded around a giant pumpkin. 

Two

Today is Hunter's second birthday. It's hard to think that it's been two years since he was born, but he's really growing up. He's talking non-stop and he understands so much. He's growing bigger and taller. And, his personality is beginning to shine. He's a funny little character and is full of life. 

Brand new baby. 

One year old. 

Two years old!

Hunter's birthday party

Last night we hosted Hunter's family birthday party. He received a book, a ball, a baseball bat, and two new hats! All very thoughtful presents for our sweet little boy. We had Hunter's favorites for dinner: ribs, meatballs, rice, vegetables, and carrot cake for dessert. It was a lovely evening and we are so glad that we had family over to celebrate our little Hunter turning two. 

Shamrock Farm

Today we went to Shamrock farm with Alysha and Everly. Hunter and Ev had their faces painted, fed the chickens, went on a wagon ride, and each picked out a big pumpkin!

And back with their pumpkins!

Setting the table

I called Grady to the kitchen tonight to set the table and Hunter jumped in! It was so funny to watch him get his stool and start digging around in the silverware drawer. I was surprised that he knew what I meant and knew what to do. He's a smart little boy. 

Power skating

Grady had power skating after school today. This picture is blurry but I love it because it sums up many of our days ... at the hockey arena ... with Hunter wanting to be just like Grady. 

It was a sunny afternoon so Hunter and I snuck outside to enjoy some of the nice weather. 

A Fall walk

Hunter and I went on a nice walk with Grandma Liz today. The bright leaves on the ground were so pretty.

Picking the perfect pumpkins!

Cruising

We have had a nice stretch of Fall weather lately. Hunter and I have been taking advantage and going on lots of bike rides. 

Matching

I love it when we find matching items for the boys. My Mom and Dad found these jackets at an outlet store in the States. They look so cute in them!

Big boys toys

Sandy was working on a project that required the drill. When he finished, he let the boys pull the trigger. Hunter was so excited!
