Uncle Johns Cider Mill

We decided this fall to try out another cider mill. So off to Uncle Johns we went......with my mom, dad, and my borthers D, and Tryston. It was raining on and off that morning but I was determined to go and have a nice day at the cider mill!! I am very glad we went because we had a great time! They had a huge corn maze which would of been even more fun if it wouldnt have rained, but o well we made the best of it....lol.

                         Eli wanted to hold the umbrealla once it started to sprinkle.

Then after the corn maze we let Eli run around and play in the kids straw maze that they had. We then went to get apple cider and doughnuts because of the rain and it was delicious!! Eli LOVED the apple cider, but wanted nothing to do with the doughnuts. After a yummy snack Eli had seen a train and we all decided to get a ride, which he thought was very neat! Eli also did a little bit of fishing and won a football for cathcing a fish. Then right before we left we enjoyed a nice wagon ride. Once we came back from the cider mill Eli and Tryston carved pumpkins.

      Eli wanted nothing to do with the guts of the pumkin. Once he looked inside he said "ewwwwwww"........lol.

A Day in the leaves!

Well Ross and I got Eli a rake for helping us rake leaves in the yard. He really enjoyed helping but most of all he enjoyed playing in the leaves, especially when I had a good pile set up for him to jump into. I really love the fall season and it was such a great day for taking Eli out to play and get some good pictures! So we took advantage and went out to rake the front yard, and play outside.

                                                  Raking the leaves with is new rake.

                                                     Throwing leaves up in the air!

                                                       Putting leaves on his head.

                                                

                                                      running in the pile of leaves.

Decided to give it a try!

I got thinking the other day how cool it would be to start a blog about my family. I thought it would be very neat for family and friends to be able to be updated with stories and photos of us and the boys as they are growing. Eli is at that age where he is saying the funniest things and doing the funniest things! So I thought what a perefect time to start. He sure is growing like a weed and getting so big! We just started the whole potty training thing this past week and its going pretty good. Some days he is totally into it and other days really has no intrest, but hey its a start.
I have 5 more weeks left till my due date, but I have a good gut feeling this little one is going to come early. We will see. I am getting very anxious to meet him and for him to get here. I have been feeling pretty well, considering how towards the end you start to feel all those aches and pains...lol. Not too much longer! Eli is really talking about his baby brother a lot. Now we will see here soon what he really thinks of him.
Ross has been busy with work, but other then getting ready for our new arrival, we have been taking it easy and enjoying our time with family and friends!

Eli wanted me to take a picture of him so he was really good about giving me a smile for this one. (2 years old)
