I have always loved the fall pumpkin patch pictures, in fact I asked Lisa if she would come to Wheatland this year and take family pic's for me, we will be doing that this weekend. I am excited to see what great pictures she will get this time. These were only a few of my fav's, it is always hard to pick.
The girls have been trying to learn how to do a cart wheel and asked if I could show them how. At first I was totally scared to even try it, it has been so many years since I had done one. So after thinking about it for a while I thought I would give it a try. I can still do it, I was surprised honestly that I didn't hurt myself.
sleep, and the clock says it is only six thirty. All my kids are asleep and I am totally awake, why, I think it might have to do with getting up at 3 and 4 am for a week and a half, and my body has gotten used to it, great.
I totally remember doing all these clapping games as a kid, they are still around. Excuse the bad lighting, but I can't ask them to do it again or it wouldn't be the same.
My garden experiment was going good until all the plants got a spider mite. It slowly killed them but I did save the pumpkins. I have to say it is kinda cool knowing that I grew these in my backyard, and four of them, one for each kid.
I think we are going to start Jackson off early for the love of big boy toys. What;s funny is Daddy looks more excited than his mini me, lol.
So as most of you know Ashton has been in love with anything that has wheels or a motor for quiet sometime. A while back we showed him the car's movie and he wasn't really interested, but now, totally obsessed. Grandma Lisa and Papa got him a set of three of the Car's cars (if that makes since) for his birthday, and than shortly after that I put the movie on in the van while waiting for the girls one day, and now totally in love. It stays in the DVD player in the van and every time we get in he says "down" so that he can watch while I taxi the girls around.
Jackson tried the bumbo seat today, we could only do it for a few minutes because he has such a big head to hold up. I'm not sure he will fit much longer because his little thighs are so big, hope so, this seat is great.
Our little baby was crying away (like normal) and then all of a sudden he stopped. I walked over to see what he was doing, and this is what I saw. I just can't believe it, two tuhumb suckers, oh well, nothing I can do about it.
Boys are so different, at least mine are.
style due to my tardiness, oops. After
that I went to get waxed and have a facial. It was a good five hours of just me, fantastic I have to say. A big thanks go out to Nicole for watching my two little guys, the baby totally screamed part of the time because of he won't take a bottle. She was a champ about it and never called one time, thank you so much, I am really grateful to have a friend like you.
So I come out to my car and there it was a parking ticket, so I can add $15 on to that days bill, oops. Those Vacaville police have a lot of free time.
I just love working for Kellegg's as a part time merchandiser. I am really glad this has all worked out, it feels right.
My cheep little one pooped out,
so I had to buy a new one. This is one of the only times that I couldn't wait to vacum. It works awsome, I actually feel like it is doing something, instead of just going though the motions.
A thumb sucker that is, yesterday Jackson has found his little fat thumb. Just like Ashton his hand stays up on this face while he sucks the little thing. It is kinda nice to have something that he can soothe himself with but really can anyone say braces.
After all the trading on craigs list, we have decided that quads are fun for everyone. Last week Daniel brought home mine and since then I was excited to go out and see how I liked it. We had Ricky, Tyler, and Alexis join us at the Clay Pit in Oroville. I feel like I have learned a lot about how to ride just in one day. I know that I need a pair of gloves because my little hands hurt SO bad. Also the girls and I need goggles, the sunglasses just didn't cut it when Ricky is in front of me. We had a lot of fun, Ashton SO wishes that he could ride his own, he is obsessed with bikes and quads. After the trip was over Daniel noticed that no pictures were taken of him and he felt left out, sorry baby, next time. We all went to Grandma Kathy's for dinner, and a ton of laughing, when you are with Ricky and Daniel it is like the last comic standing, your lucky if you don't wet your pants kind of funny. 
A benefit to having the lube shops is that we get free tickets from the vender's for local events, this circus being one of them. We had six tickets which is one extra (for now), so we took our Uncle Eric along with us. The kids weren't that excited until the circus started, then they were totally amazed with all the stuff that was going on. I tired to get a profile picture of Kelsey with mouth open because she was so entertained by all people hanging from the roof. And Ashton cheering when everyone else was, he knew something cool was happening. Kirsten was sitting next to her Daddy enjoying the time with him. And my favorite was watching my brother watch my kids smile with joy and excitement, and then it bringing the same feelings to him. So sweet. He will be a good Daddy one of these day's. I was having a hard time taking pictures with my big baby that would not hold still in my lap. Most of the show I was at the top of the stairs in a suit balcony that wasn't being used, thank you to that usher for breaking the rules. We had a lot of fun, spent way to much on cotton candy and parking, but made some good memories.
I creeped into Jackson's room tonight after I put him down to take a picture of his sweet face. I will be leaving in the morning at 4:30 and won't return for 5 hours. I won't be there when he wakes up, the first time ever. It makes me sad just thinking about it. Even though I am excited to be alone, and have some professional adult time, I am so sad about leaving my baby. And also I am sad thinking about when he is hungry his Mommy won't be there to feed him. See Jackson still won't take a bottle, scary huh. He will probably exercise his lungs a lot tomorrow, poor baby. And Daniel, he doesn't do well with the baby screaming, bad combo, I can just hope for a miracle that he will latch on to that bottle. I have warned the neighbor, Daniel may need a break, and she is so sweet she said of course come get me if you need me. Another worry is leaking, I am crossing my fingers hoping it doesn't happen.
I'm sad to say I haven't been that good about tummy time with this last baby. So as a result Jackson hates to be on his tummy. But we are working on it now, everyday. Jackson this week has fell in love, with his hands. He loves to look at them, lick them, and suck on them, I'm glad, it is entertainment for him.
