This week, I stayed home with Kellen - he has been fighting a really bad cold and pink eye. I have been sick with a sore throat, fever, etc as well. After lunch, we put on a movie and I fell asleep. I woke up to Kellen snoring! Here he is fast asleep.....so adorable!

Our Annual Trip to Whittamore Farm for Pumpkins
Last weekend, we went with Shawn's family to Whittamore Farms. We go every year around this time to enjoy the Halloween activities and to pick out our pumpkins. Luckily, we had beautiful weather for our day at the farm.
Here are Kellen and Mommy about to enter the farm.
All smiles in the pumpkin patch! He wanted to take home every second pumpkin that he saw!
His head was cold, so he put his hat back on.
The first thing that Kellen wanted to do was go in the jumping castle. Here he is in line waiting for his turn - and while he was waiting, he decided to climb the little fence.
This child has no fear.
Yippee!!! It is finally our turn!
Next, Kellen wanted to climb up to the top of the hay stacks.....he was too little to get up each level - luckily, a nice woman helped him up for me.
"I did it!" Once he was at the top, he was a little nervous.
The farm has "horse" rides that are made out of old tires. Kellen named his "horsey"
Kellen loved climbing through the huge tires....
....but, got stuck trying to get through the smaller ones!
He had a blast playing on this huge play structure.
....and he had more courage climbing the hay stacks with Daddy.
Getting some help from Daddy at walking across the tires.
Kellen and Cameron had fun walking across the tires - they thought it was a plank (like on a pirate ship).
Cute little cousins.
Daddy and Alyjah - they are almost the same height!
Boo!!! We went for a tractor ride through a haunted forest! It had ghosts and goblins hanging from the trees....and people dressed up as werewolves that ran out - scary!!
Having fun in the mini tractor pit.
Cameron needed a bit of help from his big brother.
Kellen was excited to pick out his baby pumpkin.
....he was so excited that he chose all of these baby pumpkins! Here he is trying to decide which one would be coming home with us.

Cameron and Alyjah on the tractor ride.
Big smiles with Daddy - Kellen really liked going on the tractor.
The farm has this giant slide - you have to climb up a good sized hill to get to the top.....naturally, Kellen wanted to go down the slide all day - again, no fear!
....Now, time to choose our big pumpkin.
Daddy and Kellen.
Mommy and Kellen.
Cameron wondering why he keeps being put in a pumpkin patch for so many pictures.
Kellen wanted to get in the conversation that Daddy was having with Alyjah - Kellen looks so small compare to them!

Cameron's 2nd Birthday Party
Last weekend was our crazy busy weekend - and Cameron's birthday party was the last fun event in our day. Cameron's birthday party was held at McDonald's! They had a cool play area that had lots of climbing areas and fun slides. Kellen (and the other kids) had a blast playing!
Here is Kellen very excited with his McDonald's crown - he thought it made him look like Jake the Pirate!
A Thomas the Train birthday cake - yum!
Checking out the rain coming down outside.
Thoroughly happy to have another birthday cake to dig into!
"Look at me, Mom!" Kellen had so much fun climbing up the jungle gym!
Cameron and Kellen sharing some hugs.
Grandma helping Cameron open a present. He was so curious to see what was in each of his wrapped gifts.
"Ooooh - what is in here?!?!?!?"

Ryder's 2nd Birthday Party
Last weekend, we were crazy busy. First, Kellen had soccer from 10-11. Then, we had Ryder's 2nd birthday party from 11-1. Finally, we had Cameron's 2nd birthday party from 2-4! Needless to say, we were all very tired by the end of the day!
Kellen and Ryder now having more fun together. Here they are playing cars together.
And now, Kellen is showing Ryder how to hit the balloons so that they bounce right back up.
Loving the nacho chips.
Enjoying the yummy treats together.
"Happy birthday to Ryder....."
Ryder loves anything to do with the movie, Cars. He loved his Cars themed birthday cake!
One happy birthday boy - and a very curious Kellen!
Ryder liked the cars that came on his cake more than he liked the cake!
....Kellen wasted no time digging into the yummy chocolate cake!
