Fall Fun at Dewberry Farms

I promised the boys a year ago I would go on their next field trip to Dewberry Farms. I just had Ryan last year when their school went there for the first time so daddy got to with them. I took the day off of work (a beautiful day to be outside) and spent the whole day with the big boys. It was such a fun time. Here are a few photos of the day.

Train ride! Choo Choo. Yes I somehow managed to squeeze in there too.

Bumpy slide

Teacher Ms. Donna on the slide...HA!

The corn maze was lots of fun!!!

The cars were a hit too. All the parents got on them and had a blast riding around the track.

Justin is such a stud!

Fun in the big wheel. Jayson and the other Justin in the class.

Super fun swing. The kids were cracking up!

The Fort
What a great day it was! I love spending time with my boys. This is a memory I will never forget. I am sure we will be back to visit Dewberry Farms again soon. Farmer Dan told us they have a pumpkin patch lighting event where they light up 500 carved pumpkins and you can walk through and enjoy all the designs. They also have a Christmas tree farm where you can go and cut down your own tree. I have never done the fresh Christmas tree thing but maybe someday.

First Soccer Game!!!!

I am the first to admit I am a proud mom, but to see my little guys out there in their uniforms and playing soccer so well I had a moment I will never forget. First of all I cant believe my babies are 5 years old already because it seems only yesterday I brought them home from the hospital. Then to actually be watching my kids playing a sport I immediately flashed back to the good ol' cheerleading days where I was yelling and cheering the team on from the sidelines. It has so much more meaning when it's your boys out there giving it there all. I was so proud of them. At one point, Jayson was the goalie (which is their favorite position) and he blocked a ball that the other team kicked in and he immediately looked over at me to make sure I saw him do it with the biggest smile on his face that lasted for a good long while. They both had so much fun out there. It also melted my heart to hear them cheer for each other as they rotated in and out of the game. Their sweet voices saying "Go Jayce, Great job! or Go Justin, Get it!" Too cute! Not to mention their uniforms are hanging on them because they are so little. Adorable! I'm sure as they get older and better at sports I wont use the words cute and adorable to describe them. HA! It was also Grandparents Day so JoJo and PaPa were there to cheer on their favorite players. The Savoie's were out of town or I'm sure they would have been there too. I just can't wait to watch them get better and better at sports as they grow up and you can bet I will be there at EVERY game with my loud cheers and my spirit sprinkles for my boys. I love them so much and could not have been more proud than I was that day.

P.S. They both scored a goal at their first game even though FFPS doesn't keep score, momma knows! Also, little brother Ryan was cheering his brothers on. Pretty cool... Some photos of the day.

So here is my car after we decorated for the parade. We added green balloons too!
Thank goodness Lauren came to the game to help out with
keeping time and rotating players in and out. She is a soccer pro!
The Texans Team. Go #2 Justin and #3 Jayson!!!!!
Warm up time...

Birthday Announcement

Check out this cute birthday announcement my friend Shae made for Ryan. She is working on different invites, announcements, and stationary to sell on etsy.com to be crafty since she is now a stay at home mom. Thanks for doing this Shae! I absolutely love it!!! It shows Ryan's newborn picture all the way to his 1 year old picture. It is so awesome to see how much he has changed over the past year. This is such a cool keepsake.

Ryan's 1st Birthday and Soccer Begins!

This weekend was definitely one to remember. My baby boy turned 1 year old on October 2nd and we had a great time celebrating. Mom came in town last Thursday and we took the twins to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in 3D. It was pretty good. Friday we took Ryan to have his 1 year old portraits taken and here is what we got. I LOVE THEM!!!









Yes I really did put him in an elephant costume!!! I just couldn't resist. Such a sweet face!

Friday night was Jayson and Justin's first soccer practice. I can't wait to cheer them on each week. I will get to put my spirit sprinkles to use again, but no jumps or back flips will be happening. I would certainly get an injury. They get their uniforms tomorrow. The kids named the team so they are the TEXANS! Gooooooooooo Texans! Thanks goodness the giraffes, spiders, and elephants didn't win the popular vote because those were a few names thrown out there.

Ahhhhh, my handsome little boys. I am such a proud momma! Saturday is when we had Ryan's birthday party. It was so much fun. We had The very Hungry Caterpillar theme and I made the cake. I also made the banner hung up behind his high chair. I am very impressed with my crafty abilities for his party. Here are a few photos from the party.


Overall, a great weekend! I look forward to all the fun Fall festivities ahead. I can't believe the holidays are already upon us too. Whew, exciting and exhausting to think about. I do love this time of year.
