Gentry's Farm

We made our annual fall trip to Gentry's farm. They had a corn maize, hayride, games, a pumpkin patch and more. We had beautiful weather without rain if you can believe it.





Taylor and the kids getting ready to find our way out of the corn maize. Ainsleigh kept wanting to stop and look at (or pick up) the corn. She loves corn on the cob!

















Once again, she loved playing in the corn. We could have stayed here for hours.



We all had fun playing in the grain bins!


Look how tall Jackson is. He has shot up
over the past couple of months.







Cooper at the top of the slide saying CHEESE.




Ainsleigh and Cooper coming through the tunnel. They had to do this about 5 times before we made them move on to something different.





It is hard to see, but there are several cows in the shadow
of the tree. They told us that about 4 baby calves had
been born just a few days before we were at the farm.






Jackson being silly in the teepee.









Once again, this is about as good as it gets with all three kids in the picture.




Ainsleigh thinks she has found the perfect
"punkin". She wanted to pick up every single one.





Cooper wouldn't walk in the patch at first. But after Ainsleigh kept finding "punkins" he had to get in on the action. He found several that he needed too.





Baseball Pictures

This has been one wet October. I think we have missed more games than we have played. Jackson's team is called The Bee's. Ainsleigh loves to yell "Go Bees Go". She practices ALL THE TIME.

Jackson is getting better with each season. He has gotten several people out and has been hitting the ball well. The last game we played, he won the game ball. He got great hits that night. One flew over the 3rd baseman's head!!! The coach wrote on the ball, "Jackson, you were CRUSHING the ball tonight"! He was so proud!!








Waiting for a ball to come to the outfield.
















Warming up...










Look at that form! I think he has found
a sport he really likes to play.






Lining up to give the other team "five".

Making Smores

Daddy built a fire and we got to make smores.
How Yummy! Ainsleigh and Cooper basically just ate
the graham crackers and Jackson just wanted the
roasted marshmallows!








I am not really sure what Jackson is doing. He is like his daddy though...obsessed with fire. He kept asking if he could "stoke the fire".


















Cooper thinks if he gets right in Ainsleigh's face that she will share her water!







Sharing some love!








Cooper chasing down the graham crackers. Ainsleigh would eat the entire package if we let her.

The Cozy Coupe


Cooper on the run!








Ainsleigh acting nice....for now!















Here comes Cooper. He thinks it is his turn.







But he is wrong!



He is certainly going to get his way!!

Bath Time Fun

Bath time at our house is crazy! Most of the water ends up outside of the bathtub. They splash and splash and usually I end up as wet as they are!










Cooper is all smiles in the bathtub.












Ainsleigh is smiling because she knows she should be "on her bottom".










Halloween Preview...

Jackson of course had to be someone from Star Wars. So he is Boba Fett (don't ask...I am not a Star Wars junkie!). We decided that Ainsleigh and Cooper would be from the Wizard of Oz. I haven't found Cooper's costume yet, so poor thing, he is in his regular clothes.


Mr. Boba Fett







Boba Fett and Dorothy















Boba Fett and either Tin Man, The Cowardly Lion or the Scarecrow.









Sweet little Dorothy!

The Zoo

Jackson in the Meerkat's house.




According to Cooper this is

A BIRD, A BIRD!!















Mr. Cheese








We loved looking at the fish. Of course all of them were Nemo.








Petting a goat.















The boys at the petting zoo. Cooper and Ainsleigh liked to see the animals, but not up close!














Chasing an animal into the corner. But of course we
wouldn't touch it once we finally caught it!








Ainsleigh after a hard day!

















Too much excitment at the zoo.





Silly Twins

Here are just some cute pics of the twins. They are growing like crazy!



Cooper wearing Jackson's baseball hat.




Ainsleigh decided she didn't get enough to eat during dinner so she grabbed the pot of corn and dug into it! Luckily the pot was cool. I swear she has arms that stretch to three times their normal length.

















Poor Cooper had enough. He fell asleep on the ottoman!









Ainsleigh all bundled up watching a "ideo"or video to us adults!






Daddy let them get into the pile of clothes that are too small. The hats barely fit on their heads!


Jump Zone with Popsy and Daddy









Playing with Popsy!













Watch out, they look like they are
up to something!











Ainsleigh taking a break from all of that playing.
















Whoa!!!








Ainsleigh on the move.









Always in motion!
