MILES' SCHOOL FIELD TRIP TO THE PUMPKIN PATCH

MILES RECENTLY HAD A FIELD TRIP WITH HIS PARENTS' DAY OUT GROUP TO BOTTOMVIEW FARM. WE MET EVERYONE AT SCHOOL AND BUDMAN AND GIGI MADE THE TRIP WITH US. WE TRAVELED TO PORTLAND. THE WEATHER WAS VERY COLD AND WINDY. WE STARTED BY LISTENING TO STORIES FROM AN INDIAN AND HIS WIFE. THE INDIAN PLAYED HIS FLUTE ALSO. WE THEN TOOK A HAYRIDE TO THE MUDDY PUMPKIN PATCH TO PICK A COUPLE OF PUMPKINS. AFTER THAT MILES GOT TO TAKE HIS FAVORITE RIDE OF ALL ON THE BOTTOMVIEW TRAIN. THE DIRECTOR THEN TOLD FACTS ABOUT HONEY BEES AND COWS. WE THEN SAW ONE OF THE MEN MILK THE COW. WE HAD A PICNIC LUNCH THEN HEADED FOR HOME. WE HAD A GREAT DAY.

TOOL MAN LUKE

LUKE LOVES TO WORK WITH SCREW DRIVERS TO "FIX" HIS TOYS. I HAPPENED TO CAPTURE HIM RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF WORKING ON A TOY. MAYBE SANTA WILL BRING HIM HIS OWN TOOL SET FOR CHRISTMAS. YOU JUST CANT BEAT A SMILE LIKE THIS.

NENE AND HER BOYS

THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE BOYS WITH NENE (MY MOM) BEFORE WE WENT ON AN OUTING. KYLE WAS OUT OF TOWN IN TUNICA WITH THE BOYS AND SO THE 4 OF US WENT OUT FOR CHINESE AND SHOPPING. THE BOYS HAD A GREAT TIME. THEY LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH THEIR NENE. SHE IS THE APPLE OF THEIR EYES.

BLUE RANGERS

THE BLUE RANGERS SEASON HAS COME TO AN END. WE WON OUR FINAL GAME TODAY. DADDY HEADED UP THE TROPHY CEREMONY AFTER THE GAME. MILES SCORED 3 GOALS TODAY FOR A SEASON TOTAL OF 10. HE IS SAD THE SEASON IS OVER. AFTER THE CEREMONY THE TEAM ALL WENT TO THE DAIRY QUEEN FOR ICE CREAM TREATS. WAY TO GO BLUE RANGERS AND COACH DADDY.

LUKE IS ALL SMILES

LUKE HAS THE GREATEST PERSONALITY. ALWAYS LAUGHING AND SMILING. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY BEEN ABLE TO CAPTURE IT ON CAMERA. WE COULD NEVER GET HIM TO SMILE FOR PICTURES. NOW HE GLADLY LOOKS INTO THE CAMERA AND SAYS "CHEESE."

SLEEP TIGHT

YES, I KNOW....LUKE STILL SLEEPS IN OUR BED. ITS SOMETHING I SAID I WOULD NEVER NEVER DO BUT THINGS CHANGE AND HERE WE ARE COSLEEPING. ANYWAY, LUKE REALLY GOT RELAXED LAST NIGHT WITH HIS LEG COCKED UP AND ARMS BEHIND THE HEAD JUST LIKE HIS OLDER BROTHER. I JUST THOUGHT HE WAS SO ADORABLE AND PEACEFUL.

A WALK WITH DINOSAURS

PAW PAW WAS NICE ENOUGH TO OFFER MILES AND KYLE 2 TICKETS TO WALKING WITH DINOSAURS AT THE SOMMET CENTER DOWNTOWN. THE WENT THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS IS MILES GETTING READY TO GO HOLDING HIS DINOSAUR AND SPORTING HIS DINOSAUR TSHIRT. THE BOYS HAD A GREAT TIME SEEING THE LIFE SIZE DINOSAURS AND HEARING ALL OF THE FACTUAL INFORMATION THAT THE PALEONTOLOGIST HAD TO SHARE. I AM SO GLAD THEY ENJOYED THE SHOW.

MILES AND HIS WAGON

MILES IS ENJOYING A LITTLE EXERCISE PULLING HIS WAGON ON THIS BRISK AUTUMN DAY. HE PLAYED OUTSIDE WITH HIS GIGI AND BUDMAN AFTER THE CLAN RETURNED FROM A TRIP TO THE MALL. HE LOVES PULLING THINGS IN HIS WAGON. HOW FAST HE IS GROWING UP BEFORE OUR EYES. IT MAKES ME SO SAD....I AM ALSO SO CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT GREAT THINGS HIS FUTURE HOLDS.

POWER UP!!!

MILES DECIDED MONTHS AGO THAT HE WANTED TO BE A RED POWER RANGER FOR HALLOWEEN. AFTER WAITING AND WAITING THE COSTUME FINALLY CAME. HE COULDNT WAIT TO TRY IT ON. THE BUILT IN MUSCLES ARE HIS FAVORITE PART OF THE COSTUME. WE CANT WAIT TO GO TRICK OR TREATING. WHAT A FUN YEAR THIS WILL BE FOR US ALL.

ITALIA

MILES AND LUKE IN THEIR MATCHING ITALIA SHIRTS THAT NENE BROUGHT BACK LAST WEEK FROM HER TRIP TO ITALY. THIS IS ONE OF THE RARE OCCASIONS THAT THEY ARE PLAYING TOGETHER AND GETTING ALONG. YOU KNOW HOW BROTHERS CAN BE.

YOGURT ANYONE???

LUKE IS IN THE PHASE OF SELF FEEDING. AS YOU CAN SEE, HE DOESNT ALWAYS HIT HIS MOUTH. THIS WAS AN EPISODE WITH YOGURT AND HE WAS HAVING A BALL. I JUST LOVE THIS LITTLE YOGURT MUSTACHE HE IS SPORTING. THAT SMILE IS PRICELESS.
