Where did my baby go and who is this little boy?

Pumpkin Patch

Since our October weekends are booked, we decided to take an early trip to the Pumpkin Patch.  This is our third year going to this patch and we had a great time again.  We went in 2010 when I was very pregnant with Brady and then again in 2011.  The boys enjoyed riding on the tractors at the front of the park.

Eamon had fun in the hay bale maze.  I love this picture of him!

They wanted to ride a horse.  I'm glad they agreed to go together - Eamon did a great job of keeping Brady in the saddle.

 Finally we arrived at the pumpkin patch and the search for the perfect pumpkins began.

Brady found his pumpkin first.

Eamon was on a mission for the biggest pumpkin in the patch (that he could carry).  He settled on the one below - and he couldn't carry it far.

Attempt at a family picture

This game entertained the boys for quite some time. Who knew throwing corn into a hole would be so much fun?

At the Carwash

No, the car did not need washing, but Daddy thought it would be something fun for the boys to do. 

(Yes, Brady colored on his face - that's why he looks like he has a partial mustache in the first pic)

War Eagle

We had my local AU college friends over to watch the Auburn LSU game.  We had a great time cheering on our team (even though it wasn't to victory)

Eamon and his "Best Buddy" Rowan.  Maybe these two boys will be hanging out in Auburn in 15 years or so - let's just hope they can stay out of trouble.  

Family Vacation - Take 2

We initially started our family vacation in Santa Rosa Beach.  

More of that to come when I get the pictures off of my phone.  

Since we had to evacuate due to a Hurricane, we headed up to Chattanooga.  We rented a nice little cabin on a creek.  The boys spent a lot of time fishing.

We decided to take a trip to the aquarium one day.  The boys had such a blast looking at all the creatures.

 Outside the aquarium the boys played in a little "stream"

Another day we took a train ride.

When we got to the end, they had to turn the train around.  MamaMarie and Papa took Eamon on this train ride 2 years ago.  Eamon remembered the train ride and kept talking about Santa.  M&P couldn't figure out what he was talking about.  As soon as we got on the train this time, he saw the guy below and told us it was Santa.

On the way out of town Ed, the boys and I decided to take our bikes for a ride across the river and to a park.
