Pumpkin Patches

Last month we went to a couple different farms in Colorado. I love living so close to the pumpkin patches they are great for Joshua to run around and play in. The first pumpkin patch/pick your own farm was great, it was only a 15 minute drive from our house. My friends from Laramie drove down to visit it and invited us along. It was great to see them again. Joshua loved the animals, the hay ride and best of all picking your own produce. We got carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, and pumpkins. The prices were GREAT, we will definitely be going back for more.








Will doesn't like the feel of the grass on his feet



The second farm we went to was fun as well. They had a corn maze, hay maze, pumpkins, petting zoo, trike ride, playground, cornbox to play in and much more. Joshua LOVED playing here and Will enjoyed sleeping in the stroller with the breeze on this face. I am so glad my friend from Laramie invited us to meet them there.

Random pictures of my cuties!!

The other day there was a hot air balloon in the air. This is the third balloon I've seen since we have moved here. I really want to know who it belongs to and pay to go up in it. I love the balloons against the mountains, they look beautiful!

Our slide

Here's are some pictures of Will playing on our new slide that I bought from a garage sale for $4.00. He loves that slide but it is now put away because he keeps getting injured on it. Maybe in a few months he will be ready for it again.

Will's new room and Update

Here are some pictures of Will's new room. I was finally able to take them after his nap yesterday. I love his little room and he enjoys playing in it and reading the books. Joshua and Will both love our new house. The other day Joshua said 'I'm excited not to go to our old house again' I think the moving process was a little much for him and he is glad to be in one location.













Will's closet

I cannot believe Will is 13 months old!!

He started crawling on Mothers Day and it one week he went from not crawling to crawling, pulling him self to kneeling, and being able to sit up from being on his back or belly. He is so mobile and it is cute watching him get to where he wants to go. His physical therapist was thrilled to see him improve so quickly. I still need to get in touch with a physical therapist here in Ft. Collins though, he still slouches pretty badly so we need to work on his back muscles.

Will eats no more baby food. He loves yogurt, mac and cheese, fruit, green beans, really anything we are eating he likes to eat. He just likes food. He likes drinking water and Pedia-sure (I give him half Pedia-sure with half milk). The doctor suggested giving him Pedia-sure to thicken him up. Will likes trying to eat with a fork and can take the food off the fork in his mouth but cannot get food back on it.

Since we moved into our new place from day one 11 days ago he has slept through the night!!! I guess he just cannot share a room with anyone. Before we moved out of our old house we had him sharing a room with us so Joshua could sleep better. I am so glad he sleeps here!!! What a blessing for sure. At our old house he was waking up every 3 to 4 hours and would nurse 2 to 3 times in the night. During the day he would nurse twice. Since he has been sleeping so well here he no longer nurses at night and he dropped a day feeding. The last time I nursed him was two days ago so we will see if we are done. I have a feeling we are and at this moment I am fine with it. Yesterday I was not so we will so what comes of today.


Will almost 13 months old on the trolley in Ft. Collins. It was a fun thing to do and only cost us $2.00

I thought I would finally post some comparison pictures of my boys. Sorry they are so late. Will gave me some classic Joshua posses so I thought I would compare.

Hands on

Last night Will discovered the light switch and thermostat in his bed room. I stopped while walking by to let him play and see if he could get the light on and off by himself. He was able to turn the nob for the thermostat and make the lights go on and off. At first he could only turn the light on with his right thumb and turn it off with his left thumb but in a minute or two he was a pro at turning the light on and off with his left thumb. He would give me a little giggle when he would turn the light on and off. The light switch and thermostat was close enough together that he could touch the light switch with his left hand and the thermostat with his right.

Check out our pictures

We drove to Cheyenne last Sunday afternoon to get some pictures taken with Stacey J. She does a great job and we have gone to her since Joshua was 2 1/2 years old. We always look forward to the photo sessions even when our kids don't cooperate. Please check them out. I cannot wait to purchase them!!

Will is 11 months old!!

I cannot believe Will is 11 months old. I even missed his 11 month birthday and didn't get the pictures taken until 4 days later... Oops!

He is such a character he loves; making faces, hugging his brother's head when Joshua places it in Will's lap. He loves eating food and will try anything, he loves drinking from his momma and I don't know how much longer I will keep nursing him. He loves bath time and tries to jump in the water when I get close to the tub. He goes to sleep on his own in his own crib with little to no complaining at all. Last week he slept 4 hours in a row twice in one night, and hasn't done that since. Will loves his blue blanket and pacifier. He doesn't really enjoy walks but it has been way too cold out to be enjoyable yet. He loves yogurt melts, puffs, baby food, pureed home cooked meals, cheerios, cereal bars, his sippy cup (although he doesn't drink from it well yet). He does well in nursery, I haven't been called down to get him yet!

It is so hard to believe he is almost one. I guess I should start planning for his birthday... Something I really don't want to do!


I love his hippo teeth!!
