Pumpkins, pumpkins, & more pumpkins

So tis the season of pumpkins!!!! It is officially here and we have kicked it off with lots of excitement. Nanny & Papa took Lane and Braxton to Burt's Pumpkin Farm and I really do not know who had more fun, the boys or Nanny & Papa?!?! Brax was so excited about his pumpkin that he got to buy, well I am not sure if it was the pumpkin or coke he had for a mid morning snack that papa gave him and sent Jer & I a picture of at 11:15 Satuday morning.. Well all we could say was "that's just what grandparents do!!!"
Reed and Brax looking at the finished product, Brax had never seen a lit pumpkin. This was our first annual pumpkin carving day! When I lit the pumpkin Brax ran from the sidewalk assumed the postion you see and said WOW!!! This was priceless.


Jer took on the task of carving and as you can see he did a great job!!!
So we decided to have Reed & Will spend the night with us so they could take part in the pumpkin carving festivites. All the boys loved it. Every minute of it, from picking the perfect one in the pumpkin patch to taking the pumpkin's guts out( well not so much everyone in this part Will & I had to do this, imagine that!!! Three other boys said "eeewww, gross I am not sticking my hand it that" I just had to laugh so I had to do the majority of this part!!! To funny!!!!

Brax was telling Daddy where to cut the top, he meant business as you can see the finger pointing to a specific spot. I think I even heard him say "Daddy, right there!!!" Brax is quite the direction giver and I have no idea where he gets it from!!!
Cheese Please!!!!
Three handsome boys who did a great job getting the perfect pumpkin!!!

My Little Athlete!!!!

I tried to tell him he's too young to dunk!
B's getting squared to shoot!!!



Well it's safe to say that Brax loves sports. We enrolled him in an instructional based sports program called "Sports Tykes" and he loves it as well as Coach Shannon!!!

Sports Tykes is a 13 week program offered to preschoolers and it teaches them the basic skills of basketball, t-ball, football, & soccer. Coach Shannon is great with the kids, can you imagine trying to teach a group of two year olds sports? She has many techniques tothe children grasp the concept of each sport. Brax really got basketball, he loves to "feed Mr. Net!"


The first three weeks the kids are learning basketball and might I say Brax can shoot, unlike me in my basketball days!! Anyhow, we are all looking forward to the rest of the program and to see how Braxton fares in the rest of the activities.
