Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Everywhere are Pumpkins

OK, this past weekend (and Monday) we went to every pumpkin place possible (or so it seems). Monday we went to the Pumpkin Patch at Owens (yes the sausage place). Then Sunday we went to our church pumpkin patch and picked out our pumpkins. And last but not least, Monday we went to the Arboretum. We've been busy and it was lots of fun. The Arboretum was a little cold but great fall weather for a fun day out in the beautifulness, if that's even a word. Here are some pics a little out of order but you get the idea :)

BUSY BUSY FUN

We've been busy having lots of fun! So to recap (briefly) some of the happening in the last couple of weeks:

We've gone to the State Fair (that was actually at the end of Sept).
We hang out and play and enjoy the outdoors (especially at Ashley's house).
We've made trips to the park.
We went to the Sachse Fallfest.
We also made a trip to Breckenridge for a few days.

Casey can now sit on his own (such a big boy) and he's really started "talking" alot!! He's getting big. He eats two real meals a day. I make most of his food...just blend up or mash veggies and fruits. He LOVES meal time. He kicks and gets so excited. It's quite funny and sweet all in one!

Bryant is still growing and I can't believe how much he's grown. When they get this age, you don't see the growth as much as when they are only months old. But since the cold weather has hit, we've got to see how much Bryant has grown when we put on his last years jeans. Can you say high waters?! Wow! Our boy is getting tall!

I have my race next weekend (Nov 2). I'm excited yet nervous. I know I can do it. It's so mental but I do still feel the aches and pains. I'm ready to get it over with but at the same time, it's my motivation to continue running even when I don't want to. I'll have to find something else after this...who knows maybe a marathon :)

Chad has taken a job (with the same bank) closer to home. That will be great when he starts there. Right now he drives quite a ways on the toll road so this will save us a good bit of money.

So now for the part everyone wants...the pictures.

Happy 1/2 a year!!

On Tuesday the 7th, our little baby turned into a big 6 month old. He's just growin up too fast!
He's now a whopping 14lbs 14.5oz and 26in long. He's HUGE!!! OK, not really but he has almost doubled his weight in 6 months. Now aren't you glad we don't all do that :)


Here he is the big 6 month old Casey!


Hold on mom I gotta take a little thumb break!
