Surprised? or more like I knew it!

Lucas has really gotten around the couches and anything his level really well for a while now. I just got the idea to try out the trusty walker. It's definitely what helped Zachary learn how to balance himself better. So I thought who knows maybe it would for him as well. Well I guess it did...

The painted pumpkin

So this year I wasn't really feeling like pulling out the pumpkin guts so we opted to let Zachary paint his. My mom gave us this stencil. Needless to say I left it on too long after the paint dried, but Zachary liked it. Of course it just wasn't enough so we stamped on our finger prints.

Dewberry Farm

Anna had found this one place that was advertising a pumpkin patch called Dewberry Farm. We looked it up online and found a ton of really neat things for the kids to do. So this last weekend we took a trip to check it out. We had so much fun! Definitely didn't get there early enough to do everything. It was totally packed and we understood why. There was the pumpkin patch, pig rages, hay rides, playgrounds & forts, slides, swinging from haystacks, corn maze & so on and so forth. It was a really nice day. Not too hot or too cold. I just love all the fall festivals!

Grandmother Suter's 80th Birthday Party

A couple of weekends ago, we went out to our cousin Little John and Lauren's house to celebrate 80 years with our Grandmother Suter. I tell you what it was a great time and we had some great food! For Grandmother Suter's birthday present, I made a Carpenter's Wheel wallhanging for her. I thought it would be neat for everybody to sign a square that I would piece together to make the backing. Here are some pictures of that day..
