Leaf Peepers!!!

Since we do not have any trees, the boys wait patiently for some leaves to fall in our yard from our neighbor's trees. Ray spent so much time raking...and placing...leaves in a pile so that he and Reed could have fun jumping in them. He was a little disappointed in his pile, but decided that throwing the leaves up in the air is much more fun anyway!


Another favorite past time of these two is the Gator. They will drive around the yard for as long as I let them. Reed is so happy to be doing something with his big brother that he could honestly care less what it is. He imitates EVERYTHING Ray does...I know...scary...

Peek - a - boo Mommy!




Ray's class went to Bunnell farm in Litchfield for a field trip on Friday. I have lots of pictures, but decided not to post any of them with other people's kids in them that I do not really know. The place was beautiful, the animals were sweet, and the kids had a blast. After petting a cow, a rabbit and a horse, they boarded the wagon to the pumpkin patch to pick out their pumpkin. I watched Ray as he procedded to pick the smallest pumpkin in the patch. I was shocked because he usually has to have the biggest of everything. When he went to his teacher to give her his pumpkin he explained that he has chosen the smallest pumpkin in the patch for his baby brother. I melted.

We went to the Riverton fair and Ray enjoyed himself on all the rides. Reed and I chose to eat our way through the fair, while Ray dined on only ice cream. It is a very small fair, but there is LOTS of food there!

After a few licks with my assistance, Reed shoved my hand away and said "NO" Followed by "I do" as he grabbed the cone out of my hand. You can see that he ate the bottom out of the cone so he wore most of the ice cream, but he really enjoys doing things himself, so we let him!

Definately too cool for these shades!

The last rose of summer.

I also finally got to take a photo of the church in Litchfield during the fall. I have always wanted to do this, but never did. I wonder if this should have been on my bucket list?
