Pumpkin Patch

About a week ago Craig drove past this pumpkin patch near by our house with James. They have a TON of bounce houses and one that is a fire engine. James kept saying fire bounce fire bounce. I had no idea what he was talking about. He wanted to go outside, crying, whining, and finally Craig said, oh he saw a fire engine bounce house at this pumpkin patch. We couldn't get it out of his head. Finally he got to go to the pumpkin patch and wouldn't even go on the fire bounce!
James being so good so Mommy can get a picture before he goes and plays!

Jake on the other hand wanted nothing to do with it! So no more pictures of Jake. :(

James the ghost!

James going crazy in the big bounce house.

They had a toddler bounce house which I had never seen before and LOVED it! It isn't too bouncy, it is easy to see your child, and it has little things to play with just their size!


James and Daddy went to pet and feed the goats and sheep. James has only been around farm animals once and he was to little to remember so I thought he would be a little timid about going in the pen. I was wrong! He went right in and started petting and hugging the animals!



Jake waiting for James to be done.

Although James was never really done, we had to leave with him throwing a tantrum. Such a nice way to end the night!

Cousins

Sunday we hung out at my Uncle's house. This is my cousin Vince's son Michael. Jake and Michael are three weeks apart! I didn't realize how chubby Jake is until he was next to Michael! I didn't take very many photos and I guess didn't have my camera out when Jade & Ian got there! Bummer!

Our Angel

Saturday night, Jake all ready for the Angel Game!

Homecoming

Brianna went to her first dance last night. It was so cute to see them all dressed up. For the girls it actually wasn't THAT different being dressed up for a dance. In junior high they always had to wear dresses to the dances. Last night they were just a little more dressy. The boys on the other hand had to wear suits. So that was very different for them. They all clean up pretty well! A group of 16 went together to dinner at BJ's Pizza and then to the dance!
Here is Brianna with her partner, (I don't like to say date) Jack.


Nonni had to pin on the boutonniere. Brings back memories!


All the girls


All the boys


These are the kids that all went to elementary school together.


Brianna and her best girl friends, Brooke & Sarah

They had a great time, but hopefully that will be the only dressy dance she goes to this year! :)

Matching Jammies

I never thought I would put my kids in matching clothes. And really I haven't, but I was buying them some new winter jammies, since it has finally gotten cold. And poor Jake has pretty much all hand me downs, I actually love it, but since he is so much smaller than James we don't have any winter jammies that fit Jake. James was already in 12 month clothes by now. So I ended up buying them matching jammies. I thought it would be so cute. And it is! Oh and I did buy them the same Halloween shirt! But that is different! :)

HOMECOMING Shopping!!!

Last weekend Brianna was asked to HOMECOMING!!! Oh my goodness. I can't even believe it. Her first "REAL" dance. Homecoming is NEXT weekend so today we were on the hunt. We spent a long time at the mall but luckily we ended up purchasing the first dress that she saw! Oh my little girl is growing up! Can't wait to see them all dressed up next weekend! :)
