Fun in Fall Foliage

Yesterday we played 0utside in the fine fall weather. Good thing too, because today it has not ceased to rain! The boys don't like me to take mug shots of them, so I had to chase them down to get some cute shots. Enjoy!



Checking out the abandoned tomato patch. We still get a tomato every once in while...
Usually a little animal gets the tomato before we can bring into the kitchen.

He's not sure he likes green tomatoes.

We had a nice time playing the in leaves, chasing, looking for tomatoes, playing in the dirt and getting some fresh air.

Outside Fun

Now that summer is coming to an end, we can finally play outside! That's one reason mom loves Georgia, you can expect 70 degree weather off an on from October to March. We've spent many Thanksgivings and January birthdays in 70 degrees. Lovely. Yesterday was beautiful and we enjoyed it by spending some time outdoors!

Clay braved the roller blades again. He kept them on for hours! Nolan wanted to gear up like his big brother.

Clay-Man

Clay LOVES to dress up and make-believe. He often comes up with new ways to put on things , even if they are not for wearing. So these pictures from the last few months are a tribute to Clay's imagination! He calls this his dinosaur hair-do
The day after he went to B-day part at McDonalds


I think I've seen this on Star Wars...

I don't know how Clay did this...

VOTE!

So as mentioned on the main family blog- I have been suckered into entering Nolan into a "cutest baby contest". Vote for Nolan and we may just win a fabulous prize! Here's the site...

GO DAWGS!

Ok- so the first UGA football game was a couple of weekends ago, but mom has been REALLY busy and couldn't post these pics soon enough. Daddy invited a couple of his football buddies and their families over for a Bulldog party for the first game. We had a blast with all our friends playing outside on the swing set, fishing for prizes, playing bean bag toss and more! Too bad the Dawgs lost, thankfully they won last weekend!

Are those Auburn fans I see?..... (We love all fans:)

Way to bring the team spirit, Clay!

Thank you to all our friends who came and made it such a fun, memorable day! We had such a great time and we love you all!

This past weekend we worked hard on our yard! We had a blast playing in the wood chips, raking leaves and observing the wildlife. Clay was riding his tractor and spotted a box turtle. He stopped just in time to save it! Here Clay and Nolan are trying to feed it some okra. MMM. Today Mom tried to take pictures of us. We were determined NOT to look at the camera and smile at the same time. We think we look pretty cute anyway.

Here's what we've been up to yesterday and today.....

Yesterday we started the day right by helping mommy bake some bread. We couldn't keep our hands out of the dough! Yum! Later we played in the sandbox... Rode the tractor... Cheered for the Braves... Helped mommy hang laundry... Then we painted before going to bed. And today we went shopping with mommy all day and then got to play with daddy in the sandbox before dinner and bedtime.

It's been an eventful two weeks for the boys- so without further ado, we'll let the pictures do most of the talking... Nolan- the next contender for the laptop

Remember how Clay said he was a "dangerous" cook? Here's his inspiration...

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit for a few days! Nolan was so patient and tried not to interfere during his sewing lessons.

Clay's first attempt at roller blading! He was a trooper and went all the way up and down the drive way all by himself!! Way to go Clay!

Clay made this very awesome fort all by himself

Nolan was so proud of himself for sticking a reflector on his belly
Happy boy!
