Ebert's Pumpkin Farm
This is our third year going to Eberts for fall fun!  This year it was
an unseasonable warm day.  Owen had a lot of fun this year revisiting
the corn box and also doing new things he hasn't been old enough to
do in the past.

Emmett slept through most of his first time at Eberts



                                              Owen had a similar pose and expression last year!

A new adventure this year included the blow up slides and house.
He wasn't so sure about entering the mouth of "that guy" but
once we convinced him it was fun, we couldn't get him out of there!





First time on a pony!


Emmett's 1st pumpkin picture :)


This picture cracks me up!

Omro Visit
Last weekend we headed to Omro to visit Great Grandpa
and Grandma Marks.  It was their first time meeting Emmett.
The Mahers and Grandma joined us too!  It was a beautiful
fall day and the kids had SO much fun outside playing in 
the leaves, riding the 4 wheeler and lawnmowers, playing tag, 
and climbing trees.  I took way to many pictures and had 
trouble narrowing them down!

Owen, Emmett and mommy headed back to Batavia last 
week while Jordan was in San Diego for a work trip.  
Emmett got to meet his Great Aunt Cathy and Great
Uncle Bill for the first time!  Owen, as usual, had an awesome
time with them making mud pies, splashing in the bird bath,
and playing trucks!

Happy 85th Birthday Nana!
Emmett made his Batavia debut on Sept 17th.
BOTH Owen and Emmett slept the entire 2.5 hour
drive to Papa and Yaya's house!  We celebrated
Nana's birthday and introduced Emmett to my
Uncle Brian, his wife Kathryn and her daughter
Taylor. He also got to meet Great Grandpa.
It was so nice to have so many arms to hold him!

Owen loved playing with Taylor




Too much partying for Emmett

Aunt Melissa had the touch with Emmett.
He stopped crying every time she held him!
We wanted to bring her home with us.
