Pumpkins

Cole has already gone to 2 pumpkin patches!

Uncle Brock came over and took Cole one day.
He had a lot of fun

and came home with 3 pumpkins. A huge one for dad, a medium one for himself and a little one for Brady.

Pumpkin patch #2 came a couple weeks later on Oct. 20th.

Cole's pumpkin rotted so we came to another patch to find him a new one.

He looked

and looked.

Then he wanted to venture into the field to find one himself.

He looked all over saying, "Let's go this way mom, maybe we'll find one over here."

He really wanted to make sure I got one too. Mine is the small one and his is in front of him.

Renters

This is our condo in AZ. We had to move February of 2008 after the company Jason worked for went bankrupt. At that time we had renters who stayed just over a year. After they left, we put it up for sale but nothing happened. After a few months of trying, we had our realtor try to rent it out. Finally after sitting empty for 5 months, we now have renters again! We are so excited. Now we will see what to do with the place next year. Until then, we can relax for another year.

6 Months

Our baby is already 6 months old! Where does the time go? He is such a joy to have in our family and we couldn't be happier. Brady is learning to sit up on his own, but it doesn't last too long. He is so cuddly and hardly ever cries. We love you Brady!

First Foods & Bumps

So I have been behind on posting so get ready for a lot of pictures to recap the last month.

First food ever, rice cereal on Aug. 21.
On Sept. 10th Cole was playing outside and fell on the sidewalk and got a HUGE bump on his forehead and also a scrape on top of it. He came home crying and I took one look and had to look away. It was the biggest bump I had ever seen (this picture doesn't show it well at all but it is huge).

First peas...he liked them today but not the next day - yuck!

(a better picture of the bump on Cole's head)

Craner Family Reunion

We went to Harris Pond Aug. 22 for another family reunion.

The train was fun but Jason was determined to take Cole on the zip line. I thought he might be too scared to try it.Here he is at his first attempt. I was right, he didn't want to go.

After a little convincing, he tried again and eventually thought he would give it a shot...

Here they go...

He loved it!

Let's go again dad!

My Boys

Here are some pictures taken the end of August while Brady was 4 months.

Brady hanging out with his brother.

Brady doesn't like being on his tummy so much so I had to snap a photo while he was still in a good mood.
My boys on our balcony. We have a great view of the river.

Posing

Stylin' in dad's hat.

Sleeping holding his pole (notice how the line is in the chair showing that he caught a fish).

Parade

During fair week, we went to the parade on Aug. 12.

Waiting for the parade to start.
Cole is just waiting with Uncle Glen who is there to help make sure Cole gets some candy.

Looking good in Uncle Neil's hat.

All tuckered out after all the loud noises.
