Pumpkin Picking

Nolan got to go to the pumpkin patch for the first time - yahoo! He didn't make it last year since he was sick. But he was healthy and strong and knew just what to do.

Keaton's school went on a field trip to Remlinger Farms out in Carnation where they road a train, went through a hay maze and saw a puppet show.

Nolan thinks he's a big kid and totally fits in with the 4 year old's.  I think the second child grows up a lot quicker.

He dove right into the pumpkin patch, climbing over the pumpkins to find the perfect one.  He insisted on dragging it around in the bag and didn't want me to carry it.   It is so fun to see him experience new things, especially with his brother.

This guy is strong, he could have carried at least 2 or 3 pumpkins by himself.

 Keaton definitely got the biggest pumpkin and was really proud of that.

Growing like a Pumpkin

I've been measuring Keaton at the pumpkin patch since his first trip when he wasn't even one.  Looks like he went from about 1.5 feet to 3.5 feet. Not sure how accurate the measurements are but he's now old enough to pick out his own pumpkin so he must be growing.

2011 - 9 months old

2012 - 1 year old

2013 - 2 years old

2014 - 3 years old no pumpkin patch (Nolan was sick)

2015 - 4 year old

Cute or Creepy?

Both Keaton and Nolan love to kiss me (not TJ though).  I always joke with them about slobber and Keaton always makes sure that he doesn't have any before kissing :)

Now they are kissing each other.  I'm starting to wonder if there is too much kissing going on at our house.  At least when they are older they will have lots of practice, which is creepy that their practice is coming from mom.  I do think the innocent kissing is pretty cute though!

Nolan's not too sure about kissing his brother...

Keaton goes for it...

Nolan liked it!!
