A Beautiful St. Louis Zoo Day in November '13

Halloween Fun

Family Tradition-Pumpkin Carving Fun

Bryce dancing to the skeleton's song, "He's got the moves like jagger". So cute.

My sweet Chase with the pumpkin he helped carve with his dad.

As long as Pony likes super heroes, she will fit right in.

I got to help out at Chase's kindergarden Halloween party which was a lot of fun.

Chase with his buddy Miles from next door. We decorated some Halloween masks that afternoon. The boys liked that.

Ready to trick or treat in the down pouring rain:)

Chase and Francisca, his best friend from school. They are good buds.

We are adding one more to the fam. And we are so excited it is going to be a girl!!! Cole and I had done our own ultrasound a couple of weeks before, like we had done with the boys, and were pretty confident it was a girl. But then it was confirmed at my official ultrasound a couple of days before Halloween. Chase has named her Ponytail or Pony. And Bryce calls her that too. The boys are so excited and have been asking so many questions about her. They are so sweet, I think they will be great brothers to there baby sis.

Pumpkin Picking at Braeutigam's Farm

We had a great morning at the farm. This farm had an awesome pumpkin patch, animals for the kids to feed, a fun play area for kids, and some yummy apple cinnamon donuts.

Chase inside the pigs home laying down some fresh straw.

Bryce enjoying the donut.

Chase's Fall Soccer League

Chase loves soccer. And he is a great little soccer player. I was able to sign him up for the fall league just in time after we moved before they started. I think his team was the last formed, so his teammates and coach were a bit of a struggle. But Chase didn't care and they won a couple of games, and Chase usually always scored a goal or a few goals. He was the star of his team.

Score!!!!

Score!!!

My 3 boys. Bryce being a cheese ball.

Peach/Apple Picking at Eckerts Farm (Sept. '13)

One thing I loved about Maryland was the great farms nearby where we could go pick fruit. Luckily, we have found a couple of good farms by our house here in Illinois. Bryce and I are picking yummy peaches with some friends, while Chase is in school.

The boys and I are picking my very favorite Honeycrisp apples. They had a great time and I think Bryce ate about 3 whole apples while we picked them. And they love the tractor ride out to the orchards.
