Park, Pumpkin Patch and Play- ball!

We have had the most beautiful fall weather the last few days!  I just love the cooler temps, sweaters, jeans and boots, pumpkins, hot chocolate, crock-pot soups, park visits, chilly baseball games, pumpkin patch trips and college football.  It's my very favorite time of year!  

I baked these yummy chocolate chip pumpkin muffins for the kids - they gobbled them right up!  

This was what we had for dinner a few nights this week.  I mixed a few recipes and voila - a new fav!  We'll call it chicken-tortilla-taco and cilantro rice soup!

I also wanted to post a few pics of some of Grady's work from the bulletin boards.  

A circle map and tree map!

We love our trips to the park without mosquitos!  

Dex had his 2nd birthday party at the Pumpkin Patch!  We had a great time!

Cole and Dex

Grady and Duck Dynasty!

Getting so big!

I love this one!!!

Drew"by" and Cole- this is Cole's best friend from Stephie's!  

We found Colton too!

 Sweet birthday boy!

This kid can down some cake!

We left straight from the pumpkin patch and went to baseball.  It was our first win of the season!  

Happy fall, y'all!  

Fire Department Open House!

The little boys and I had the best time this morning at the Flower Mound Fire Department Open House!  

Grady and Cole both enjoy seeing fire trucks and reading about them, so when I heard about this free event, we just had to go.  

We learned all about the water trucks and ladder trucks and more... Grady could give you all the details.  He was fascinated with the facts.  

Sweet Cole just wanted to see the "big twucks" 

There was every kind of truck you could imagine, and clowns, and loads of free stuff!  

The kids got to sit in a truck

and Grady got to spray the hose.

The kids had fun with sidewalk chalk and tatoos!

We also got to watch Care Flight land... which was the highlight of Cole's morning!  

The boys enjoyed free hotdogs, soda and popcorn as well- score!

We even ran into some friends from school too!

Grady loved getting to wear the uniform! 

It was fun getting to tell the firemen that his Uncle Jerry is a fireman too.  In fact, I remember G trying on a suit back when he was only 3.  Time flies... 

Sweet 3 1/2 yr old Grady with Uncle Jerry!

What a great morning!  

Love these two!!

Happy, happy, happy!!!
