The past six weeks have been pretty crazy so this may be a little long and have a few pics, but who can't get enough pics of the kiddos?! I know Deebo and Papa can't so hopefully this cures their itch until we see them again. We went to the pumpkin patch a few weeks ago and was able to get quite a few good pumpkins this year. Ben enjoyed all the fun things at Johnson Farms like the kid maze, animals, tractor/train ride, and full on pumpkin patch with picking pumpkins off the vine. Ashley was along for the ride and enjoyed what she could.

| There's a pumpkin! |
This year Ben picked out his own costume and wanted to be a cow and Ashley is going to be a monkey. We will have two cute little animals in tote tomorrow night for trick or treating around the neighborhood.

| MOOOO! |
As for kid updates let's start with Ash. She is doing well and seems to be getting bigger/longer. She can sit pretty well, but still will tumble. Although she has been getting on all fours and rocking for the last 3-4 weeks and she's lunged forward quite a few times. She's getting close to being fully mobile and rolls all over to get around. There's tons of giggles and smiles when she's in a good mood and can't get enough of her big brother. She's onto solids and chewing on wagon wheels and puffs. I love that I can see her personality coming out more each day and can't wait to see how much she'll grow in the next 7 months.

Ben is cute. I have no other way to describe it than that. If I could freeze him at this age, I probably would. I love that he can speak in full sentences, is polite, loves his little sister, counts to 10, can say his ABC's and on most days listens to us. If I could steal even 1/10th of his energy I feel like I would be the energizer bunny. Ben is such a blast and I love when he breaks out into dance out of no where, he brings toys to Ashley when she's crying, and can't get enough of playing with his trucks/cars/buses.
I couldn't resist honoring my 2011 World Series Champ - The Cards!
