My New Favorite Month!

IMG_9292Brian had a conference for work in Eugene this weekend, so we headed up with some friends to make the most of it!  Traci, Cass and Nathan shared the afternoon with us before they headed right back to Coos Bay.  We were already planning an October trip to Lone Pine Farms to check out the best Pumpkin Patch, so it all worked out pretty well.  (Except for the fact that Jessica, Aaron and Meghan couldn't make it.)  

The farm included a hay ride, a fresh market, fish ponds, panning for gold, gardens, play grounds, a great pumpkin patch, a corn maze and a petting zoo!  IMG_9262Jackson LOVES Sesame Street now, thanks to my mom, and affectionately calls The Count "Ah Ah Ahhh".

Jackson and his BFF, Nathan whom he calls 'Nay Nay'.

This is one of my all time favorites!  What a fun dad Jackson has!

Our annual Pumpkin Patch family photo - year 2.

IMG_9299      What is he laughing at you ask?  That would be his Dad.  And just to note, if I ever try to do the same courtesy while Brian is taking a picture - doesn't work, not at all.  IMG_9300

Jackson says 'tractor', 'cracker' and 'doctor' exactly the same, but he knows the difference and somehow I do too.

IMG_9312Try pulling Jackson away from a pond filled with goldfish large enough to see from space - it's not pretty.

Reef was looking at this telling me "I want to go there with him" I told him that was Jackson and he said, "I want to go with Jackson, it looks like fun"
IT would be fun! I miss you!!!

I love Fall and Jackson's sweater. He's so handsome.

Our kids also LOVE going to pumpkin patches. Wish you were here to have gone with us.

Do you guys ever not have anything going on? It's neat to see that so many people have come to visit you this summer. I would come up all the time if I could justify it. Jackson's getting cuter and cuter. Take care.

How fun. Oh that Jackson is a doll. His SMILE! Can we say INFECTIOUS (spell?)
You guys are such great parents.
We love you.
