Autumn is in full swing here and we have been having some fun while the weather is still nice enough to enjoy the outdoors!
Taylor is getting bigger everyday. He is so easy to make smile and getting better at sleeping at night. He is such a joy in our family and is starting to get around although he is not quite crawling he sure tries and gets up on all fours. He will crawl soon enough I say!
Boys will be boys!! Payton and Taylor get along pretty well until Payton tries to haul Taylor around the house...most of the time Taylor tolerates it pretty well. Payton is actually my BIG helper. He is constantly trying to cheer Taylor up when I am busy and gets him toys, diapers, and plays games with him, it is nice to have another set of hands (most of the time), until those hands become a little too helpful!
McKenzie wanted to do a little photo shoot and was making funny faces the other day, so I snapped a few.

Photo #2 (That's better)
We took the kids to Linder Farms the other day and we all had such a great time. It was such a fun family activity even though it was a little chilly that day! Here are the kids enjoying the petting zoo. My kids just love animals but I will say it was pretty funny when the baby llama let out a loud yell...both kids were scared and interested all at the same time, but kept their distance after that!
Then the kids and I had fun getting "LOST" and finding our way around the little straw maze.
Payton was our fearless leader!
Kenzie was just soaking it all up!
Perhaps the most fun was going on a few kids rides!! Payton was totally cracking up the whole time and McKenzie would smile occasionally but took her ride very seriously as she always does when she swings!

Then the kids rode on a cow behind a tractor train! They were so cute together and were having the time of their lives!
Yesterday we visited Ashlee's preschool (their cousin in the pink coat). They went on a hay ride together to a pumpkin patch.

I thought these next pictures of Payton were pretty funny and cheesy. They make me smile whenever I look at them. Payton is so smart and is learning his ABC's really well, I sometimes just sit and watch him and wonder how he knows that or when did he grow up so fast. I love this little boy (he hates being called little and would correct me and tell me he is BIG)!
This little girl doesn't like to be left behind! She always wants in on the action and is full of things to say. She is such a pretty little girl and only needs a little more hair to style! She too is a great helper and loves to learn!
Payton took a seat on a Huge Pumpkin!
Taylor was there right along with us and was being such a trooper in the car seat! I feel bad that I didn't take him out too for some cute pics but sometimes it is just easiest to only have to chase 2 around and leave the 1 immobile. He is such a sweet little guy when we are out and about, it makes it somewhat easy to go places!!
Well that was a long one with tons of pictures, hopefully I can stay on top of things better now!!
