Pumpkin Patch

Today Mommy and I took our 3rd Annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch. It was a little dreary and sprinkling but we had a good time.

Here I am sitting on a giant pumpkin. Mommy and I on our hayride.Trying to pick out a pumpkin.
I like this pumpkin too Mommy.

Fun Pictures

Sometimes Mommy has to laugh at the things I come up with. You never know what I will find and want to wear. My new thing has been suspenders. I can't just wear one pair, I have to wear two. I remind Mommy of my Great-Grandpa Brown in my suspenders.
I also like to wear "Gobbles." They are all important when weedeating and using the blower.

Fall Festival

Yesterday we went a Fall Festival at a local church. We missed the one at our church last weekend due to our nap schedule. We had fun at this one though. John climbing out of the bounce house.

Swinging on the playground.
This is fun.

The After Party

That's right, my party was so wild that there had to be an after party. Well, actually, Grammy and Grandad arrived after the party was over and Cousins Jason, Erika, Mackenzie, and Kaitlinn stayed and visited for the afternoon.

Erika helped me open my presents. Grammy is showing Mackenzie my new chain saw.
Abe was sitting on me and it was funny. I don't think Mackenzie thought it was so funny and Kaitlinn doesn't know what to think.

Mackenzie and I went for a ride in the wagon with Grandad.
Opening more presents, even Kaitlinn helped.
Checking out the new chainsaw.
More presents!
There is construction going on down from the house so we took a ride to see all the real construction trucks. They were just like Muck and Scoop from Bob.
