Jake and Jack: 2011 Edition
Jake and Jack. They're more in love with each other than ever. Here are some pictures from this year.
Random Octoberness
A few other things we did way back in October...
Dressed up for Aggie football.
Played with a football
Rode in one of these things for the first time.
And every time after that.
And every time after that.
Cheesed after bath.
Watched Daddy rake the leaves.
Cheesed some more
Tried really hard to get the fridge open
Told mama to be quiet because the animals are sleeping
Grabbed the closest thing around as a rally cap for the Rangers in the World Series.
...and did the Race for the Cure.
Halloweenie
Yes, this is Halloween. Yes, I know it's December.
Jake acts like a pirate a lot.
"I'm a pirate... arrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
So it was the natural choice for his costume.
Granna loves to come in for Halloween.
Our church has a HUGE carnival every year for Halloween. The state fair happens to be just before Halloween, so they are able to get a bunch of the rides that were at the fair. Jake was big enough to ride this year and LOVED it!
First he rode the motorcycles.
He waved at us EVERY time he went by!

When we were at the fair, Jake saw the roller coaster and kept asking to ride "the train". We didn't do it that day, but since it was free at our church, we tried it, and he also loved it.
Then it got cold, so we coated up. And he rode in the Jeeps.
They went really fast and he was having a grand old time.
Again with the waving every time.
Then he touched a sheep.
Having fun is exhausting!
A better picture of the whole get-up.
P.S. Those pretend-a-boots were from my brother's Prince Philip (Sleeping Beauty) costume, circa 1986. Thanks Mom for keeping everything!

Pumpkin Patch III
The third and final pumpkin patch... I'm almost caught up to November. On the last day of November.
We headed out to our third pumpkin patch
when my mom came for Halloween.
Getting ready to head out to the patch.
Yes. I was there too.

Clownin'.
Checking out the patch as we rolled up to it on the "hay" ride.
Scoping out the pumpkins.
I was going to let Jake pick this one out, but they had some
super cool pumpkins, so I did the choosing. I really like
the one I found. I had to pick up probably 40 before I found
one that wasn't rotten. This was a real deal patch. Not like those
"stack-of-pumpkins-lined-up-in-a-row" patches.
He really enjoyed this building/fort
that they had in the play area.

Arkansas State Fair
I may never catch up with blog posts... We went to the state fair. Jake had a good ol' time.
My BFF Sarah went with us.
She was terrified of the giant cow.
As was I.
That horse is my size!
Watching the poor baby ducks.
The obligatory state fair corn dog.
And he got to ride his first amusement park ride!
He totally loved it.

And we ended at the petting area, where the
donkey, zebra, and camel lived together.

Just like in nature.
