Pumpkin Patch

My good friend Chelsey and I took our boys to the pumpkin patch a few weeks ago. It was so much fun and so worth the trip! We can't wait til next year when our little guys will be running around and will probably enjoy it much more!







Trigg and Mason - our perfect pumpkins!

Mommy and Mason - I sure do love my sweet boy!

Mason's new hobby...(At least that is what dad is hoping for!)

Kev loves hunting! He shot a little three point last week. We are proud of him and YAY for meat. We're actually getting all 40 lbs made into pepperoni sticks =) YUMMY!
Family pic with the buck...Mason was quite fasinated!

I also have a Western Oregon blacktail tag so daddy wanted to take Mason out and "drive around." Mason was pretty happy bundled up in his camo...ready to look for a big buck!

I made Kev stop for some pictures...he wasn't too pleased. But Mason was happy to get outta the truck!

Love these two!

Mason sitting shotgun...he acually rode up front for awhile while I fed him. He loves looking out the windows and being outside! I am sure we are raising a future hunter...=)

Just Because...

I could take pictures of this sweet boy all day ... every day! Too bad he likes to quit smiling when I pull out the camera!

Fall: Back to School and Friday Night Football!

School & Football - no better words to describe fall time! I started back to school on Saturday. It was a VERY long day but I am excited about my new classes... After a three hour drive and nine hours of school I was able to drive down to Corvallis and meet my cousin Kelsi's new little girl, Alyvia. Kels had her on the 18th - she is a beautiful baby girl and I was so happy I got to meet her! (And snuggle with her - I already miss the newborn stage, they grow so fast!)

And football - I think I may be in trouble. My son loves to watch football all ready. We went to Knappa's game on Friday night. The boys kicked PC's butt - whoohoo! But I took some pics of my little guy while he was watching a football game (that we were recording for daddy). The looks he was giving me are priceless. I think dad may have to fight him for the recliner...he looks pretty darn comfy!

"Mom leave me alone - I'm watching the game!"

"Seriously, Mom..."
And last we have his cute little butt...I love his little jeans! He looks so grown up! Please pay no attention to his balding head - poor baby has a pretty sweet mullet!

My sweet boy...

I love this little guy so much! I forgot to post his four month stats...he is growing and changing everyday!
  • Height: 25 inches
  • Weight: 14 lbs 13 ounces
  • Head: BIG (Literally its in the 90th percentile...lots of brains! Right?!)

We also had a little scare with formula a few weeks ago...=( Our poor guy had a terrible reaction to some formula. I have been solely pumping since Mason was about six weeks. We had some issues latching on and after six weeks of trying my pump and I become best friends! He has only had my milk - and my little piggy is eating more then mommy is making. So I tried to give him a couple ounces of formula. BIG MISTAKE! We ended up in the E.R. after three hours of throwing up and dry heaving. I am sure it was worse on me...I hated seeing him so sick and helpless. And of course daddy was at work...so after many phone calls to the pediatrcian that night we went to hospital at 1 a.m. and spent about four hours there until he finally stopped puking and held down some breast milk. They don't know why it happened...but he is fine now! And we have found a formula that will agree with his tummy. However, he doesn't like it (I think I may have a picky eater on my hands...don't know where he could have got that from?!). Solution: He gets an ounce or two of formula first - he chokes it down and then he gets the good stuff! I am so sick of pumping but I know it is so good for my baby...so me and my black bag keep at it!

Mommy and Daddy love you Mason Man! Thanks for always making us smile...you are the greatest blessing in our lives.

The season is changing....

It is officially fall...the rain has started! While I am not a fan of the rain...I do love decorating for the seasons! Mason and I spent Saturday putting out our fall stuff...inside and out!






Now I'm ready to carve some pumpkins and make some yummy fall treats! Better stalk up on pumpkin next time we go to safeway ;)
