Brooks has really grown attached to his daddy. Whenever he comes home from work Brooks lights up with a big smile and reaches for him to pick him up. Whenver Stephen is home Brooks prefers to be held by his daddy, unless he's tired or hungry and then he just wants mommy to comfort him- or get him a snack! We're both so glad when daddy comes home and we all look forward to the weekends when we can hang out all day together- especially our family Sunday afternoon naps. We're so grateful for all the hard work Stephen does for our family and thankful that he has a job that provides for all of our needs.....and most of our wants too! We Love you Stephen, Bud, Daddy, Steve, Stevie Bob

Brooks and Gav were enjoying their ride together in the wagon....until Gav bit Brooks, that little stinker! hah
Cutest little skunk I've ever seen, doesn't smell too bad either.
Ward Halloween Party
That's one happy dog!
So I put Cohen in the high chair for snack time and I turned my back to do something and Brooks was on his tip-toes stealing cheerios from him! I thought it was so funny and cute so I ran to grab my camera.... and here they are munchin away together!
Here they are up to no good messing with the pots and pans, after a while I stopped trying to get them to play with toys and just let them have at it.
Here we are on our hay ride, headed out to pick our pumpkins, it was really bumpy and Brooks would give a little giggle every once in a while.
This was my attempt at getting a cute fall picture, he was not into smiling that day.
Here we are with OUR pumpkin....it spoke to us from across the field and it is perfect!
Kaycee and her cute boys
one more attempt....not going to happen mom, give it up.
I finally got a good picture of his teefers! (above)
Everyone has to have a picture of themselves in a box when they're little, (unwritten law I'm sure of it).






Today I went to see my good friend Martha.....she gave me a great pork loin recipe that I can't wait to try!
This is totally what mine is going to look like, maybe better.
I also hung out with my good friend Kelli, haven't seen her in years and it was fun to catch up.
My friend Marc also stopped by. He showed us some creepy crawlers and told us some fun animal facts- that guy is so smart and man does he love his turtle neck layering.
Martha is really nice, she has some skinny stems, and she loves her some cardigan too!!
We all had a great time....no white wine needed! hah
