Aubrey Turns 1!!

Our good friends little girl turned on Sunday, they had a big BBQ to celebrate!!  It was so fun, Trey even got to come a long.  Usually he is sleeping because he has to work but he was off on Sunday and got to join in.

 

 Here is the birthday girl!!

 

 During the party I busted Frankie reading books in Jacob's room.

 

 How cute is this kid!!!

 

 

Happy birthday miss A!!  We are so happy that we got to celebrate you turning ONE!

Rombach's Pumpkin Patch

 

Before we came home from St. Louis on Sunday we visited a pumpkin patch in Chesterfield.  This is the pumpkin patch that Jeremy and Trey when to when they were kids.  This is also the pumpkin patch that we took Frankie to for his first time.  So special!!  Haha, ok enough with that!  The weather was perfect, it was sunny and warm!

 

 Look how big these things were....

 

 Out of about 15 of the "same" pictures this is the best we got.  Haha!

 

 Laura, Landen & Jeremy

 

 Me and the boys.

 He kept yelling....."it's not working, it's not working"

We got so close to a pony ride.  Mimi paid the $5 and I put him on the pony and he freaked out.  Needless to say the man gave us back our $5.

 

We had such a great time with Mimi, Aunt Katie, Aunt Laura, Uncle Jeremy and baby Landen!!  Can't wait till next year when Colton and Landen are walking around.  I think I am going to regret saying that we will need all hands on deck! 

Matt & Trisha Myers Wedding!!

On Saturday we went to Trey's cousin's wedding.  It was in beautiful Frontenac and the weather was beyond perfect for an outside wedding!!!  We had a little time before the wedding so we took a few family photos!!

 

 Love this one.  Frankie is the best big brother in the world!!

 

 Me and the Groom!

 

 Feeding the babies!!  (I love that they are so close in age!!  Only 16 days apart)

 

 The boys weren't acting the best so we decided not to risk them crying darning the wedding.

 

 Here comes the bride.......

 

 Mr. & Mrs. Matt Myers!!!

 

 Welcome to the family Trisha!

 

 Laura, Jeremy & baby Landen

Congrats!  I am glad we got to celebrate your wedding day with you!!  It was a prefect day and a perfect wedding ceremony!!!  Everything was beautiful!!!

Colton- 3 Months

 

You are 3 months old (well on 10/9/12)!!  Wow!!  I feel like you are a very mellow baby until you are hungry or tired.  Haha!!  You are growing like a weed.  You are talking and smiling a lot now, I think that I have even heard you laugh out loud!!!

 

* You are smiling a lot!  You love to talk and you now also make this sounds that to an adult sounds like a loud sigh but you love to do it.  I will make the same sound that you make and then you will smile and make it right back to me. :)

 

* You can move yourself all around in your crib while in bed at night.

 

* You are still sleeping in a swaddle and you stay swaddled pretty much all night long even if you wake up in the middle of the night. 

 

* You usually wake up around 1:30 am, I give you a bottle and you sleep until about 4 am.  From there I bring you in bed with me and you sleep till 6 am.

 

* Your first bottle is usually around 6:30 am and your last bottle is around 7:30 pm. 

 

* You are eating 4 oz bottles about 7 times a day.

 

* You are still wearing size 1 diapers, but honestly you really need size 2. 

(I almost have the size 1 used up)

 

* You can still wear 0-3 onesises but most of the clothes that you wear are 3-6 month.

 

* When I weighed you at home you were 14 lbs 4 oz and 25 inches long.

 

 That fan is pretty cool.

 

 

I couldn't be happier that you are my sweet baby boy!!  You are adjusting to everything that we throw at you and you are doing it like a pro.  We still need to work on your night time routine but I think that once we get the day time down the nights will go much better. I love you so much!!!

PAT- Down on the Farm Event

 

Yesterday PAT (Parents as Teachers) did an event for all the kids called Down on the Farm.  It was at South Elementary in Jackson and they all kids of "farm" activities set up.  It took Frankie a little bit to warm up but I think he had a blast once he did.  Side note, I only know how to use my camera on auto and for some reason on this fist picture it was on something different.  Haha! Hints why it is so dark, not a clue!

 Painting the pig.

 

 Making a corn husk with popcorn.

 

 Digging for veggie.  Surprisingly for a kid that doesn't like to be dirty it was

really hard to get him away from this table.

 

 Making a sheep with gram crackers, icing, vanilla wafers, marshmallows,

pretzels and chocolate chips.

 

And this is what face you get when icing is on your finger. 

This kid cracks me up!

 

 Playing in the corn, digging for small barn animals.

 

Playing with friends.

 

We had so much fun!!  There were also huge block to play with.  Frankie was really cute playing and knocking them over, no pictures because I had to help!  Oh Trey and Colton came to but Colton slept the entire time.  We can't wait until the next PAT event!!

Pioneer Orchard

 

 

10/13/2012

Pioneer Orchard is right down the street from our house, this is the second year we have taken Frankie.  It was a nasty day, foggy and misting but we invited friends to come so we didn't want to not go.  Although both boys were in special mood I don't think they would have cared if we left with out a pumpkin.  Haha!  We love doing things with Grammy, Mrs Joan, Mrs Jessica and Warren!!  We always have a blast no matter what!!

 Frankie wasn't into having his picture taken at all this day.

 

 I think he found one!!

 

 The boys checking them out.

 

 Train ride..........

 

 Watching a movie!

 

Colton's first trip to the pumpkin patch was a success!!  He was only awake for a few minutes of it! 

 

Later that day we witnessed two friends get married!!  Congrats Gock and Michelle, we wish you many years of happiness!!!  I didn't get any pictures though. :(
