Pumpkin Patch & Hunting

Did you see that first picture of my big boy! I never thought the day would come so quickly that he would be wearing his Cabela's hat and holding a gun (that is just a BB gun) while hunting with daddy! Michael, Papa Brown, and Logan went hunting last Friday. Logan was so, so excited and talked about it for days to everyone he saw. They awoke early and Logan was ready to go. They did not get anything but had a great time exploring and spending time together. Michael had so much fun being able to take Logan and I know that they will become great hunting buddies over the years. We have been to the pumpkin patch twice this year. We went with Logan's school and had a great time petting and looking at the animals. We also got to go on a tractor ride out to the patch to pick pumpkins. It was fun for me to see Logan in action with all his buds from school. Last year he was really a shy guy but this year he is really opening up and has made himself a buddy who also goes to our church so it has been fun to see them interact. We also went to the pumpkin patch with our best buds and had a great time. There was lots to do and the hightlight for the kids was feeding the goats! Our family really enjoys fall time (especially Daddy) and it has been fun to start some new traditions now that the kids are a little older. I cannot believe that October is almost over and we will soon be celebrating Thanksgiving. I hope that you are all enjoying your fall and that your families are all well.

Doctor Day

It has been a while since I have posted so I thought I would sit down tonight and write a little. Today was a busy day and a little crazy! Last week I scheduled a doctor's appointment for Logan because he has been complaining for some time that his tummy hurts. I have kept my eye on it and tried to figure out the times that it is happening but there really has not been any certain times that it happens. Since we were going for Logan I also took Luke because he has had a cold and has been playing with his left ear and telling me that it hurts, so I thought I should also have him looked at. I always feel so funny bringing both boys in with issues but our doctor is amazing and always makes time for both of them. So, Luke has double ear infections which is always a bummer but has started on antibiotics and hopefully will bounce back soon. Doctor could not find anything when he felt Logan's tummy but sent us for an x-ray to check things out. I was a little nervous to be taking both boys to the imaging place as Logan usually gets very nervous at new things and well, Luke is 2 and somehow taking him to the imaging place with ear infections, no lunch yet, and oh having a poop in the waiting room was just not my idea of fun! The Lord heard my prayers on the way there because Logan was amazing and actually acted like he was having fun getting his pictures of his tummy. Luke was also very good and we all made it out of there in one piece. Off to Burger King for a special lunch since Logan did so well then to Costco for antibiotics. The doctor called and Logan is FULL of poop! Sorry to be so graphic but its the truth. Poor guy, I never would of expected this because he is so regular but I guess not enough. So, back to Costco for some MiraLax which we will give him everyday for a couple of weeks until he is cleared out. I love my little guys so much and hate it when they are sick but I am so thankful for our great doctor and thankful that there was not something horribly wrong with Logan's tummy. The boys are in bed now and mommy is tired! Michael has now caught the cold that the boys have had so he is not feeling so hot. I am praying selfishly that I do not get it because I head out Thursday afternoon until Sunday for Woman of Faith up in Portland. I am really looking forward to the weekend and am thankful to my wonderful husband for taking over this weekend. I have never been gone from them all this long but I know that they will all do great. Hope you are all enjoying your fall.
