Gobble Gobble

I know, I know ... I did this in my spare time?! I just got it my head that I was going to make these and I couldn't get the idea to go away.
Logan is already excited for me to make the reindeer cupcakes. I hope he helps this next time.

New Shoes

I have never seen anyone get so excited over new shoes. I took both boys to a shoe store downtown to discover both boys were in shoes way too small. I knew Shane needed larger shoes but had no idea Logan did to. At our first shoe store shop Shane nabbed a nice pair. He was so excited about it he said "my shoe". This was the first time I had heard him say two words together. He also did quite the happy dance all around!
Logan was another story. He had his heart set on a particular pair of light up shoes. We had tried this once before and left disappointed. Logan was sad but we went to two other stores in search. When all else failed I took to the internet. We found them at JCPenney and Logan was able to wear them right then!!
Once he got his shoes he joined Shane in a Happy Feet dance.

What a Nice Surprise

It wasn't my birthday, a holiday (yet), my anniversary and yet I got these pretty fall flowers! I told the boy to smell them and this is what I got .... Logan ran, Shane stuck his tongue out at the flowers, and Moxie sniffed them.
They are cheering the house up and look so cute and fall festive. Thank you!

To Dad, From Logan

Hi Dad, there are some things in this photo I would like to show you. Any guesses???
I got my roundhouse!!! You know what that means :)
Check out my new Jammies! They are a tad small for me but I wear them any way because I really like them.
I also want you to see the turkey I made for Mom at school. Shane tried to get it and pull the feathers out but I won't let him do that. I want to save it for you to see.

Randoms

Shane went through Logan's closet and came out with frog rain boots and a dog. Shane says "hi!"
Logan being silly!
He just loves posing for photos, NOT!
Ok take your photo Mom, I am looking.
Not sure what Shane is doing here but it was pretty adorable.

Our Daddy Dolls

Ordered the boys a Daddy doll. They are pretty darn funny!

Shane enjoys using his Daddy pillow and his Daddy doll as a pillow. Cuddle time with Dad.

Logan goofing off with his Dad (doll!).

Pumpkin Bread

We received some pumpkin bread and Logan declared "I like pumpkin bread Mom!" So I made a bunch. Shane was less enthusiastic but he gave it a taste.

Drum Roll Please

Got the drums and music makers out and let em rock!
Shane drove Logan crazy beating the drum with the maracas versus the drum sticks. It made quite a racket! Logan would yell "No Shane, stop!! Make him stop!!"
Ahhhh a toddler can share (sometimes!).

All Decked Out

Grandma sent some cook Daddy duds for the boys!
Logan carried his shirt around at first and cuddled with it as if it was his blankie. Then he insisted on putting it on.
Shane rallied
Logan cuddling on the floor with his Daddy pillow! It is so cute with its pocket, stripes and buttons.
Later Logan cuddles on the couch with his Daddy pillow. So cute.
YAY Daddy!
We miss you!

Golf and Tattoos at the Fall Festival

Check out Shane's tattoo! Can you tell what it is? Logan got one too but things got too busy for me to take another photo :(.


The boys got a chance to golf. If you got the ball into the jack-o-lantern you got a treat!
Logan was all about it. The guy helping was so good with the boys but I really wished Dad was there.
Logan watched and took in his lesson and then he wanted to do it on his own.

Shane wanted to do it all! I think you can see the ball in the mouth!

The Pumpkin Patch Again!

A friends daughter was turning 1 and the party was at the pumpkin patch! I dared to go solo. The boys were wild!! Sadly the wind was wild too.
We didn't stay long as I was snorting dust and dirt and my allergies were running wild as were the boys. I took the boys and a couple of their friends into the hay bale maze and they ditched me one too many times. I had forgotten how much the wind bothered Shane. At one point I was saying goodbye to the hosts. Logan and Shane were playing with the other kids not far away. Out of the corner of my eye I saw an orange flash RUN into the corn maze. I instantly RAN after this orange blaze. As I turned to run my suspicion was confirmed it was Shane taking off alone into the corn maze. He was running, I was running. This could be seen as funny except he had a big lead and it is easy to get lost in the corn maze. I had to catch him FAST before he took one turn too many and I couldn't find him. Of course when he heard me yelling for him and saw me running this only encouraged him to run faster. SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE!!!!! Ok now it is running through my head, "Don't go Shane!!"

Painting Pictures for Dad

Logan wanted to paint some pictures for Dad.
Shane seemed to have painting down and I am happy to say I think (and hope!) he is over eating crayons.

Painted and Pittiful Pumpkins

Logan and Shane were invited to their friends house to paint pumpkins!!
Tim, I wanted to make sure you saw our dearly departed pumpkins. We allowed them to turn into old lady pumpkins and then we off'd em. I did not want to risk them turning to pumpkin soup!
The neighbors were definitely watching their transformation. While the creepiness of them fit in perfectly for Halloween, we still had a couple weeks left. Guess in NM it is not wise to carve your pumpkins too early for they shall shrivel and fuzz.

Crazy Hair Day

It was crazy hair day Monday at Logan's school. I was so happy he let me do his hair.
A typical morning before school...

Meet Jay The Giraffe!

Jay has joined Jael at the local zoo! Wowzer I heard it made Natl news. Too funny here in Clovis we get real excited about some of the small things.
This bear picture is out of order. Tim -- the bears were at work digging what looked like it was on its way to being a large hole. I haven't seen them do this before. It wasn't hot and they had water in their moat. It was interesting. One finally gave up but the other one looked like it was digging to freedom.
Jay can reach much more than Jael could. He is very busy trimming the trees.
When we walked over Jay came over to greet us. He stuck his head over and took a gander at us. It was entertaining indeed.
Yep, I was more excited then they were. Logan talked about how we HAD to go see the new boy giraffe at the zoo then we got there....
the Clovis is zoo is hoping they made a love match when they added Jay to the family. I guess he was a present for Jael. HA HA HA
A shot of both. It is hard to tell but Jay is quite a bit taller. Sadly Jael's friend the goat had to change homes. I am sure she misses Mr Goat.
