Six Flags at Night

We went and enjoyed Six Flags this season at night. It was chilly, crowded but still fun.
The kids are enjoying getting candy at every location. Mom, not so much!
Caitlyn is finally not so scared of cartoon characters.

Brent loved riding the train and started saying, "all aboard!"

Caitlyn rode the big swings this time! This completely freaked me out but she loved it!

Pumpkin Patch

Caitlyn is quite the poser these days. We started out at the Pumpkin Patch in a maze.
Brent loved it and it was great this day because we were the only ones.
They have a great stage where they show movies when there is good weather (which is hardly never).
Thank goodness for Jenn so we could get a family shot.
The kids in the pumpkin house.

Caitlyn was scared of the spider at first so this is good that I could get a picture.
Brent and his buddy Mason with the huge pumpkin.
One final picture with all the Caitlyn, Mason and Brent!

Deer Lease

We spent a weekend together with Jeff at his new deer lease. We had a great time and had very nice weather. Although we needed about 5 more pairs of socks for Brent, all in all it was a great weekend!
Jeff was able to cut branches and clear a path in his deer stand for bow hunting.
See all his hard work - not really!!!
We lounged.
Lounged and played in the dirt.
Rode on the four wheeler.
Played in the dog kennel.
Danced.
Climbed on all the structures. And did I mention went in and out of the trailer, over and over, bringing in mud and dirt. Again. And. Again! Love my babies.

Around the House

I often walk in and find Brent and Caitlyn reading. On the couch, in the office, or in Caitlyn's bed.
I love the Superman shirt in the flower bedding! Priceless!
You can catch Brent in a basket!
With a book!
Or on the couch! And believe me he was just jumping. Caitlyn has her Leapster!
Cheese~
I love these precious moments!

Another Cake

In September we now to get to have cake 9 days apart. This can be a good thing or bad, depending on how many friends you can find to eat it with you!!!

Today is my birthday and I have had a really good one. Last night Jeff took me to a great pizza place in downtown named Zanata. It was low key but very fancy! It reminded me of Albuquerque.

My morning started off with my friends in class singing me happy birthday with a twist. At the end of each line kids now add, "eat more chicken". None of us are sure what it means. Perplexing! They don't really even know?????

My team brought me a gorgeous cake and when I got home another friend had sent me a beautiful flowers and a candle. Tonight I am spending time with the girls. So even though I am half way to 70, which sounds extremely frightening life is really good.

There is a monkey on a back. That I must put to bed now.

Fun Celebration

Here is Brent on his 2nd birthday, the actual day. It was so cute because I took about 3 pictures and he loved looking in the camera and then going back and posing again. Love that smile!
I made his cake and enjoyed having a few minutes to decorate it. It was one of the calmest things that I did all day. We had several close friends over to bar-b-q and have cake and ice cream. Very low key but so fun.
When I showed Brent his cake he even said, "wow"
Luckily Brigette had the idea to get a family picture. I'm so pleased with how it came out.
Mason and Brent had fun playing and talking with the dogs through the window.
Present time was fun. Brent had lots of good help opening presents and tons of fun with all the goodies!

Happy Birthday Brent

Brent turned 2 today. Hard to believe because he is growing up so fast!

He loves to climb up on everything.
He will follow after his sister and do whatever she is doing.
He enjoys playing cars, shooting baskets, and making "play" food with his sisters.

He has started climbing out of his bed but luckily we have found some peace in that he will stay now until the morning! Thankfully! I am not ready for the toddler bed.

He has begun potty training. All his doing. Not mine. I'm fine waiting until forever.... But choo-choo underwear are so cool.

He throws a fit when we make him sit in a high-chair of any sort or wear a bib, because of course he is a big boy now.

He still gives me kisses, and hugs and lets me rock him whenever I want to. I love him dearly!

Happy Birthday Brent
