mac and cheese

first snow

Last week we woke up to the craziest snow storm, at least for October. It seriously dumped on us. The boys loved it, although not so much Brock; he didn't even like stepping in it. And I actually have learned to enjoy shoveling knowing I'm getting a great workout. :)

They had a snowball fight. Which also included throwing snowballs against the house to "decorate it for Christmas" since it was leaving white marks all over.

 

 

Posed for pictures

Made snow angels

Ate it

 

Brock's first time walking out in it, not sure how far to go

Hanging out in the garage, patiently waiting for us to be done

cleaning out pumpkins

 We had to do our pumpkins in stages this year. We cleaned them out Monday. And carved them later on in the week, it's just always been too long of a process for us to do everything in one night. 

So here are some pictures of the cleaning.

pumpkin patch

Making our annual trip to pick out our pumpkins. I love watching the boys wander around looking for the perfect one.

 

 

This was the best I could get of Brock cause once he realized it was getting him a little dirty he wanted nothing to do with touching pumpkins.

 

Silly boys asking me to take their picture even though they could barely reach.

The even sillier boys who can reach

Love this set of 3 pictures of Brock trying to catch up

brock and trey

Here's Brock trying to be like his big brothers and dad.

This is Trey's favorite spot in the entire house. He piles up as many stuffed animals as he can and then reads, plays, sits, anything. Often he'll have Brock come with him, I just haven't captured that yet.

After taking those pictures he said "now take a picture of me and Minnie!"

camera practice

I love taking out my camera and practicing now that I finally got to take a photography class (which was super fun by the way!). And even though my boys don't always love getting their picture taken, they do occasionally make requests "Take a picture of me mom!" "Now like this mom!" "Now this way!!" "My turn!"

I guess Brock doesn't request it, but I like taking pictures of him best. ;)

 

For these next ones, all I was trying to do was get a picture of Brock in these pajamas because I have pictures of ALL my boys wearing them, but Brock was not in the mood at first.

Finally got a decent few
