Horses and Pumpkins

Well, another day, another dollar. Things just keeping ticking away around here. Griffen is going to be 2 years old next week. Wow, how time flies! The other day Grandpa, Jesse, Laura and Dad moved cows to our house on the horses so I took all four boys out for a ride. Griffen was totally excited, the babies, not so much. Above is Griffen riding with Aunt Laura. He was having fun and getting used to Dunnit.

Here is Boady on Jasper, he did not really like being on top of the horse. Keep in mind all the kids are trying to get over their head colds.

Here is Cale on Jasper. He acted like he didn't know the difference between the horse and the couch. He was just cool and calm.

Here is Rance on Jasper. He seemed okay but he was so busy pulling Uncle Gary's chest hair out that the horse was rather dull!

By the end, Griffen was not wanting anyone to help him. he held the reins and the saddle horn and then even let go to wave. He was loving Dunnit at this point.

Then on Saturday October 4th, we went to the pumpkin patch out in Paul. The kids LOVED it. It was a rainy day but we picked just the right time between storms and the weather was beautiful. We took a couple of pictures at home of the whole family in case the children got too muddy to recognize at the patch.

Here is Griffen choosing his pumpkin. He really chose some nice pumpkins.

Here are Boady (left) and Cale (right). They had these cute painted up wheelbarrows that we put the boys in. They really seemed to enjoy riding along!

Griffen loved running around the patch itself. They have it set up so that there are a bunch of pumpkins cleaned and categorized to purchase or you can go out into the patch and choose your own. We went out there just for the boys to play and it was well worth it. Griffen kept throwing dirt clods in the air and watching them break. He had a wonderful time running crazy.

Here is Cale in the patch. The boys mostly enjoyed eating the mud and the weeds.

Here is Boady with a little evidence of the mud still on his face. All in all, it has been a WONDERFUL week!
