You may notice in some of the following posts (and there are several), that Jack has a tiny little cast on his arm. He broke his wrist last Tuesday falling off his potty step while washing his hands. He was the best little patient! He held still and said "cheese" for all his x-rays. He has to wear the cast for about 3 weeks. He's been telling me lately, "My bones are fixed, I can take my cast off." (Cell phone pic...best we've got.)
This time of year we love going to the pumpkin patch, picking out our Halloween pumpkins, going on the hayride, and seeing the animals at the petting zoo. We timed it just right and as we pulled out of the parking lot, rain started pouring. It was Matt's only free Saturday in months, so we're really glad it worked out. I'm kind of sad we won't be here for grandma's pumpkin patch next year! (Pictures are in no particular order.)
Cole didn't really know what to make of the baby chick.
Jack liked picking out the different sized pumpkins.
He actually went on the little train this year...last year he was terrified and wouldn't go.
Cole loved the hayride. He spent most of the time like this...laying on Matt's arm and grinning.
Is there anything quite as cute as a baby pig?
The turkeys were as big as Jack. And for some reason they really liked gobbling at Matt. He could get them to "talk" every time he tried.
The cow liked me and kept licking me and nibbling at my clothes and hair.
The baby cows were pretty cute too.

Cole's Birthday
Our little Cole had a birthday this week! I can't believe it's been a whole year. He's such a good natured, easy going, sweet, happy little boy (as long as you keep his belly full). He and Jack are starting to play together and it is amazing to watch. We're so glad he's part of our family! I have some video, but it's on the other camera with a dead battery and a missing charger.
He loved the balloons. I think we could have stopped there and he would have thought it was a pretty great day.
His cake didn't turn out perfectly, but he liked it and that's all that matters. He LOVES dogs (especially Sunga), so we went with a puppy cake.
He was surprisingly a little reluctant with the cake at first, but once he tasted it, he really went for it.
He liked the presents, but didn't really get the whole wrapping paper thing.
The big hit was the ride on fire truck toy from grandma and popo. He seemed so grown up on it!
The next morning the two boys played for hours. They were either doing this....or Jack was running over Cole the whole morning.

Baby!!
We are excited to be expecting baby #3 on April 25! I'm about 15 weeks and feeling pretty good. We had a rough month or so with Matt working nights and out of town and me with a pretty good run of morning (?!?) sickness. Jack started taking his stuffed animals into the bathroom saying "me and ____ don't feel good, we have to throw up." Then he'd shut the door and make sound effects. We'll probably have another ultrasound in the next couple months and hopefully be able to find out the gender.
He/she seems to be a thumb sucker.

This is the first picture I've been able to get of Cole's top teeth--I love his little gap. He is never quite so happy as he is in the tub.
Cole's new favorite activity: doing laps around the coffee table.
Lately Jack has been really into light, shadows, and shade. He love to play in the light coming in through the windows in the morning.
We've also been making lots of forts (thanks for starting that grandma!). The house is a constant disaster, but both boys love it!
Oh, if you notice the quality of my pictures has slightly increased, it's due to a very cool camera that was recently donated to us! I haven't worked out how to use it outside of the automatic settings yet, but I already like it 100x more than our stupid point and shoot. (I can actually take the picture when I want, instead of waiting 10 seconds until the moment has passed!)
