Friend Hallowen Party

One of my bestest Girlfriends, (haley) throws a halloween party
for the kids every year.

She never disappoints.

She has a great backyard and a gi-norm sandbox.

So after all the fun and games, 

we always seem to stick around a little longer and let the kiddos play,
while us moms chit chat!

captain hook-cash, wolverine-cohen, darth vador-warren, dragon-bos

 This is the best picture i could get of the group and it doesn't even include everyone.

I couldn't find jaggers costume at the moment so he just sported a halloween tee:)

 My kids cant get enough of pinata's.

 These two are only about 3 wks a part and i think they are going to be trouble....

 Thanks Haley for the fun par-tay.

Till next yr!

"Pun'kin Patch" with Bos

Bosten's preschool class went to the Pumpkin Patch and I was lucky to tag along. Bosten also invited Cohen to come along as well. 

Bosten was so excited for the "Pun-kin Patch".

"look at that big punkin, mom!!"

This little place had a bunch of things for the kids to do, a variety of pumpkins and gourds, slides, animals, and more!

 I want this gourd!

A train passed by and immediately Bostens hands shoot up to cover his ears.

He doesn't really like loud things..ie-fireworks, trains, thunder. Deathly afraid of fireworks and thunder. not sure why??

 Cohen has recently become obessed with monkey bars. He's pretty good at 'em too!

Thanks Bosten for inviting us to come to the Punkin Patch with ya!

The Gator

The boys love the gator or "Al-o-gator" as Cohen used to call it.  Bos and Cohen have become quite the little drivers.  We recently let Jagger have his first ride and boy did he enjoy it.

Jagger is sporting his signature big open mouth smile!

Now every time he walks out into the garage he climbs in the gator and squeals for someone to take him for a ride.

We have ourselves a WALKER!

Yep, i now have a roaming get-in-to-EVERYTHING little monster to follow around and clean up after.
He has officially been walking now for about 3 wks.  He is still wobbly, but he is so proud of himself and is so darn cute. His walk is similar to Frankensteins, which goes perfect with this time of yr. I should totally dress him as Frankenstein for Halloween. He would be  stinkin' cute. Dont ya think???

And with all my kids it seems like they are always hitting their big noggins on something and Jagger is following the same trend.

 Poor little dude face dived into the edge of the TV stand. The gash was small, but it was deep and i almost thought i was going to make a trip to the ER. phewww.

More pictures just because i am that kind of mom.

He looooves the flintstone car.

Love this kid.

Soccer and Flag Football

Soccer has started and is actually almost over. (for the fall season. boo.)

Cohen loves soccer and has become quite the little player.

Gma DeAnn and Gpa Farrel are still paying him for ever goal he scores,

and he has a piggy bank full of mon-eeey!

And guess who the coach is????

Yep. Daddio.

James and kyle (carsons dad) are coaching this yr and they have done a fabulous job

with the Red Dragons.

Cohen, Carson, and Dylan are the only players on the team from last yrs team.

We picked up some other great players, including Carter (cousin).  

Carter is playing up and is really good and is one of the best players on our team.

We also signed Cohen up for Flag Football. Cohen has really caught on fast. 

He is quite a bit smaller then the rest of the kids and i was a little worried, but he's been doing great.

The league is for 5-6 yr olds, so he is one the youngest too.  A couple of kids from other teams have told him how small he is and he tells us he says, "i'm small but i'm one of the fastest guys on the team".  He is pretty fast and has scored a couple of touchdowns "using his moves". 

I'll be honest, this is kind of hard and sometimes boring to watch.

Cohen is on the team with Collin (cousin) and they have made-up their own plays and practice them all the time. Uncle Logan has stepped in to help coach the 

Blue Dragons 

and is really good with the kids and has shown a great deal of patience. (which is definitely needed).

Cohen's head band is reversible and for every game, flag or soccer 

he grabs it and puts it on himself. He's funny.

Peaches, Peaches, and More Freakin' Peaches

(peaches eaten by jagger, explanation below:)

My kids love peach season.  

They can't wait to go to gma's to pick peaches.  Bosten this yr coudn't get enough of the pickin', however he would not eat a single peach. 

Jagger luuuved the peaches. 

 He would take a bite out of every peach he could get his little mitts on. 

Cohen also loves picking the peaches. 

He and Bos were actually a lot of help this year!

We then, ok mostly my mom, turned the peaches into this yumminess........

Rasberry Peach Jam.

yuuuummy, yum.
