Backyard Fun

I took some pictures of the boys playing outside yesterday. Will rode his four wheeler, and Jack cruised in his firetruck. We had so much fun, especially since the mosquitos are out of the picture, and the boys are able to enjoy their outdoor play to the fullest without being attacked! Only one of our smaller trees is shedding its leaves. Even though there are only a few leaves on the ground, it was enough to amuse the boys all afternoon. We'll just have to postpone raking the leaves for a while! So, I guess there is a touch of fall to these wonderful pictures.

Happy Birthday Adam!

We celebrated Adam's 30th birthday at our house on Thursday. Adam wanted finger foods and a Dairy Queen Ice cream birthday cake... which by the way it was "delicious". We all made a dish and ended with so much food similar to a buffet. We had sandwiches, bite size pizza's, nachos & rice, pigs and blanket, and so on. By the way, thank you Mom, Dad, Angie and Amy everything was yummy!! Will and Jack thank you for running laps around the house...you are always the highlight of a party!!:)LOL. Adam had so much fun. To this I want to add how thankful I'm to share moments like these together. I love you Adam, Happy Birthday!

Bulldogs, or Trick or Treat?

We decided to have a party at Nana's and Papa's instead of dressing up and trick or treating. Recently I have been behind on blogging so I'm posting pictures of the boys carving pumpkins and having a party at Nana's. So much for the big party bulldogs! Oh well, there's always next year :) Go DAWGS! So far Jack has been expanding his vocabulary and of course I'm so very proud of him. He seems to be adding a new word each day and he expresses himself very firmly (if you know what I mean). Adam and I are having the time of our lives with Will and Jack. The things they come up with are, well, let me just say funny and silly!! They seem to be becoming best of friends!!
