Happy Halloween!

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.

Yes, Brian took the ride also....



tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch!



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.

"Why is he always around?!"

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.
