October

I don't know where the time goes!! I can't believe October is half over!!  Since I've been an adult, I've heard people say again and again that time goes faster as you get older - well holy cow - I can't imagine it going any faster - but I'm sure it will!!  There are just not enough hours in the day! 

Well the guys have been harvesting right along.  The weather so far has been very cooperative.  They finished up on beans last week and got started on corn. 

 Cooper and Kellen ready to go help in the field

 One boy rides with Grandpa in the combine and the other boy rides with Kevin in the tractor.  I think they would go with every day if they could.  Tyson gets to go when he is out of school.

The boys and part of their pumpkin crop.  Sue helped Tyson plant and take care of the pumpkins in her garden.  He's pretty proud of them.  You can't really tell in the picture, but alot of the pumpkins have the kids' names carved on them.  He made one for each of his cousins and his and Kellen's teachers.  Kevin's Grandpa used to do that on pumpkins when Kevin was a kid.

A couple of Saturdays ago I kept my nieces, Brooke and Allyx for the day.  That was fun to have some girls around here.  The boys had fun entertaining them. 

That Sunday, the boys and I went to my cousin Trevor's 8th birthday party.

The birthday boy!

Last Saturday I went to my cousin Heather's bachelorette party.  It was a fun night!!  This was about the only G-rated picture that I had from the night ;)  This is Heather and her bridesmaids.  L to R:  Brittani, my sister Lacey, Heather, Renae, Laura and Darci.

On Sunday we went to town to do a little shopping and out to eat, and then that afternoon we visited my Grandpa who is still in the hospital.  It was so good to see him, it had been awhile since we last saw him.  We were able to visit with my Grandma for a little bit as well.

Monday I was able to go with the preschool to the pumpkin patch with Kellen.  The kids loved the little train.

That's Kellen at the top of the lookout tower

All locked up

They got to take a little boat ride across the pond

On the bus on the way home, Kellen and another little boy in his class fell asleep.  It was the cutest thing!  They must have been shot, because that bus was so loud and it was not a comfortable ride.

Kellen came home and slept a little longer.  Kids fall asleep in the weirdest positions!
