Early October

October was full of action and lots of fun.

Here’s little Bear wearing Uncle B.J.’s old shirt.

One afternoon we went to a festival with our home school buddies.  The boys were thrilled to get their faces painted.

They also got to decorate pineapple with chocolate.

Bear was thrilled by the contrails.

Both boys also got tattooed.

Every day after school we have multiple neighborhood kids in our backyard.  I love it so much!

Luckily there’s no competition for Lincoln’s swing.

Have I mentioned how much Baron loves Clara?

Bear is becoming quite the stunt man himself.

 

Jay took the bigs to Beach City and I took Lincoln to Mandy’s one weekend (when we shot his 1 year pictures).  Before we left for San Antonio we had some mommy and Lincoln time.  He really loved his first little ride.  I just adore little Dinka.

 

While the bigs were in Beach City, Jackson wanted to make some money pulling weeds.  He worked for FOUR straight hours.  This picture was taken right as he finished.  His poor little hands look like they are about to fall off.

Here are a few more pictures from Lincoln’s 1 year shoot.

The lighting wasn’t right but his sweet personality still shows.

Hanging in the kitchen where all of our boys have spent so much time.

In October we received the new Pine Cove catalog.  I was surprised and excited to see a picture of Jay and Baron! 

The bigs with all of the fish they caught during their weekend in Beach City.

One of our home school friends has a beautiful property just 5 minutes from our house.  Jackson loves to fish there during play dates.

Jackson is interested in learning to cook so I’m trying to incorporate some cooking/baking into our school day.  One day we baked an apple pie together.  Clara was over and loved helping us both bake and eat our pie.

After Lincoln eats I always wish that we had a dog!

More baking fun!

Just a little excited to taste our pie.

Playing at the farm school one afternoon.

Jackson has been begging for another brother or sister.  He takes any opportunity to hold babies these days.  Here he is holding baby Asher at the farm. 

And there’s our early October!
