Fun with Ben!

A special day!

Sunday was Evan's baptism. We were so happy to have Aunt Staci, Ben, Grandma, and Grandpa Tom there. All three boys were so good in church! And Daddy did a great job reading a special letter to Evan in front of the whole congregation.

Pumpkin Patch

Aunt Staci and Ben came to visit this weekend! Saturday was the perfect day to go to a pumpkin patch. We got to go on a hayride to pick our pumpkins!
Grandma and Great-Grandma really like the hayride too!

Wes thought we needed this size.


But we got two little ones instead.





And Ben and Wes had a lot of fun together!

For the record....

...this is the first time we've decided to humiliate our dog by buying him a Halloween costume. Sabi shark!

Happy Birthday!

The Big Day!

Happy Birthday Wes!

This weekend was Wesley's 2nd birthday party! He of course had a Thomas party.

Here is the annual pajama cake pic.


We were so happy to have lots of family and friends that could come!




Wes loved opening his presents. In fact, he would sneak into the dining room and try to get one down and opened before he got caught! It was such a beautiful day, so we opened presents outside.

Here's MaeWo showing off Wes' new backpack.



Then it was cupcake time!



Then it was back to playing.

Payton says "Go Bears!"


We had so much fun, but can't believe Wes is going to be 2! Thanks everybody!

Ace of Cupcakes

Wes is becoming quite the little helper in the kitchen, although his favorite part is still the eating part! And he's not so good with clean-up.

What it takes....

Thomas on TV, check. Strapped in chair, check. Cupcake in hand, check. Now Wes can get a haircut. Trust us, this is easier than taking him to a barbershop.

First Bottle!

Unlocking the mystery...

We finally figured out what it takes to get Evan to take a nap in the swing. Answer: swaddling.

Our boys!
