Pumpkin Patch

Saturday morning the entire family headed out to the pumpkin patch. This pumpkin patch had a petting zoo, hay ride, train ride, and tons of pumpkins. Kenadie and Rhodes had a great time and loved riding in Kenadie's new wagon.

Rhodes being "gentle" with the bunny, notice how he has grabbed a large amount of hair on the back end.

Dwarf House

During our recent trip to the Atlanta airport, Drew requested to stop by and visit the very first Chick-fil-a. The original Chick-fil-a was called the Dwarf House and is located 7 miles from the airport. He was very excited about getting to eat here. We found one very interesting item on the menu...... a Dwarf Burger. Yes, this Chick-fil-a serves burgers.

The little man loves to play with everything. Yesterday he apparently got tired of just eating his snack and decided to throw it all over the kitchen floor. You might have to look closely in the pictures since Cheerios blend well with our tile.

This is the clean up phase....eating off of the floor.
The dining room chairs create tons of fun for this little boy.

Playing Around the House

Rhodes is such a big helper at 13.5 months old. He wants to help mommy and daddy do everything. Now that he is walking it is very hard to keep him out of things. The word "No" is used a million times a day in our house as he tries to climb in, climb on, and take things out of cabinets, drawers, bookshelves, and closets. It truly is a new adventure everyday.

Helping put groceries into the pantry and take them out again. Every time we go grocery shopping he watches us put all of the groceries into the refrigerator and clean out all of the old stuff, I guess he decided we needed to do the same thing in the pantry. Such a helpful little boy!

Colorado

Here are pictures from our relaxing trip to Colorado Springs. We were able to drive to the top of Pike's Peak, tour Focus on the Family, visit the Air Force Academy, and eat at lots of local restaurants.

Cooking with Daddy

This morning Drew showed Rhodes the proper way to make breakfast. He watched every move his daddy made like he was really paying close attention so he could cook for us tomorrow morning.

New Toy

Our sweet little boy is now 13 months old and always looking for something new to play with. He loves playing with the remote control to the tv so Drew found and old one that he can play with. He loves to chew on it, throw it, practice walking with it, and act like he is changing the channels.
