Go Vols!

A few weeks ago, Wayne went to Tennessee to visit Moosh & Elisa. Moosh is part of the football coaching staff at the University of Tennessee. He gave Wayne an all-access pass for the game. Pretty amazing! He had a great time!

He even took a picture of Nick Lechey for me :)

Haircuts!

As usual, I've loaded the photos in reverse order...you would think I'd have figured it out by now. First come the after pictures and then the before picture.

I took the boys to a park this afternoon to enjoy the beautiful weather and changing leaves. I just love this time of year.

I have no idea what is so cool, but whatever it is must be good!
Ben's looking at the water, trying to figure out how to get in it. He already took a header, which is why the front of his hair is wet in the pictures.

He is learning to say new words every day. Sometimes a couple of new words in a day. He tries to say water: waaah-er. Then when we saw the ducks, he said 'qwaaaak'.

Here is Jack with his stick fishing pole. His bait is a leaf.....gotta love this kid and his imagination.

Hmmmm....what other sort of trouble can I get into.

This is the before picture. MAJOR bed head. We were at Nana & Pa's house and Nana didn't want him to go to bed with a wet head. So she held him, rocked him and stroked his hair until he fell asleep. What a hair-do!

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

On Tuesday, Jack's preschool class took a field trip to the pumpkin patch. This was the first day of the school year that he was actually excited to go to school. He has been asking if we can take him to the pumpkin patch since about April.

Here is Jack with his best friends from school - Chloe, Alex & Griffin. Getting ready to leave on the hay ride.

The boys were so excited to be on the hay ride. It was so funny to listen to their conversations with each other. Jack says to Griffin: "Hey Grif, did you go on the hay ride last year?"

Griffin: "Yeah!!! It was fun."

Jack says to Alex: "Alex, did you go on the hay ride last year?"

Alex: "Yeah, the hay ride is my favorite."

Jack: "Me too! hahahahaha."

Me: "Do you guys remember last year when the class came to the pumpkin patch and we all went on the hay ride together?"

Mom, this is the pumpkin I want. Help me - it's stuck to the vine.

Searching for the perfect pumpkin.
