Future Soccer Player?

Jonas loves any kind of ball and loves both playing and watching any kind of ball related sport.  The other day he was showing Daddy his moves with a soccer ball.  After some pretty impressive dribbling (he is 18 months old), Daddy captured this on his phone with almost as good dribbling as the first time.  I'm now in search of toddler soccer teams... (Can you even imagine the chaos?) :)

 

Trucks, Trunks, and Treats

This weekend we went to the community event called "Trucks, Trunks, and Treats".  We thought Jonas would be thrilled due to his love of trucks, but he wouldn't get near them. He was very interested to point them out, but was too scared to sit in a single one or get too close.  Phin loved seeing the trucks and going inside.  Both boys enjoyed dressing up and getting candy to put in their pumpkins.  It was a good test run for our costumes that still need a few tweaks before Halloween night.  They were super cute as a little Han Solo and Luke Skywalker.

 

Apple Picking

This weekend we went on our annual apple picking trip with some good friends.  Both boys loved eating the apples and had a fun time at the orchard.  We were also lucky enough to get the first day of cool fall weather.

 

Swinging in Connecticut

This summer the boys favorite activity when we visited Nana and Grandpa in Connecticut was to swing.  Every other swing in comparison now seems way less exciting.  It also seems to be one of the only things I took pictures of, probably because we spent so many hours doing it.

They even got pushes from Uncle Lee and Allison

We also had fun at a nearby fair.  Phin loved the rides, especially the roller coaster with Uncle Lee.  Jonas got to ride on a real pony (the carousel is usually his favorite ride) but it seems only other family members have pictures.  I'll have to try and get a hold of one. 

 

More Summer Fun

As I try to finish up posting summer pictures, here are some random ones.

Uncle Joey stopped by for a visit on his way to Colorado.  The boys enjoyed feeding him a snack.

I don't think our fur babies have been recognized for a while.  Both are doing well and had a nice summer laying in sunny open windows.

Outdoor snack time and enjoying the beautiful weather.

Greeting neighbors and taking careful notes on neighborhood happenings.

 

Grammy's Birthday Books

The boys were very excited to celebrate Grammy's birthday (Happy Birthday Grammy!), as they got to open their own very special package from her.   New books!  With buttons that make animal noises!  The send many thank yous and love your way.

 

Cleveland Visit Part 2

Here are few more pictures from our visit to Cleveland back in July.

 We had a fun time with cousins at the zoo.

We got to play more with cousins and enjoy a nice fire.

The boys loved playing in (and drinking) the water in their own private pool.

Splashing water off the edge of the deck was very funny.

Enjoying some snuggle time with Uncle Joey.
