October Frenzy

I think that I have finally figured out that I am going to have to start updating more frequently, or else I will have too much to update on. The month of October has been absolutely CRAZY WILD! We made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. This year I took Jack Landon and we went with Logan on his school field trip to Motley's Pumpkin Patch. It was a lot of fun. Logan got to drink pumpkin juice and watch the pig races. I "got" to watch Jack Landon get incredibly dirty in a matter of seconds in a dirt pile. We all went on a hay ride and then Logan picked out the perfect pumpkin, which we later decorated at home. This year for Halloween, Logan has chosen to be a "ghost pirate." Originally, it was just pirate, but somewhere along the way, the ghost has been added in, and I think it is really cute. The picture above is from his "dress rehearsal" before one of his many Halloween parties this year. He really enjoyed putting on his eye patch and pirate makeup, but the best part was the sword! This past weekend, we went to the annual Halloween party in my parents' neighborhood, Woodlands Edge. It was a lot of fun. The kids got to decorate pumpkins, play ring toss, and various other games, and participate in a costume contest. Logan won for the best costume in his age division. He was very proud of this and his parents and Nonee and Grumpa were too!

We also went to the Arkansas vs. Ole Miss game in Fayetteville this past weekend. We had a lot of fun even though the Hogs lost. Logan and Jack Landon both had a blast! We enjoyed getting to experience a little of the chilly air in Northwest Arkansas. We really miss Fayetteville and can't wait to go back.


Another big event for us this month was the annual Airshow at the Little Rock Air Force Base. The four of us went with Jonathan's dad. I was a little worried about how the boys would do this year out on that big slab of asphalt, but it was GREAT!!! The boys loved watching the airplanes do all of their stunts. I don't think that Jack Landon's finger ever stopped pointing at something in the air. The atmosphere and weather could not have been better.




Logan has been continuing to play fall baseball this month for Bryant. He didn't play in the spring, because he wasn't old enough, so we are using this season to educate him on some of the fundamentals. Even though he is the youngest on the team, Logan is really picking things up very quickly. His catching, throwing, and swing have all improved and he is really enjoying it. His last game will be this coming weekend and then we will have a break until the Spring. Logan has had a big show of support for all of his games. His Nonee and Grumpa have come to every game, and Uncle Taylor has made it to a few. He loves to see family in the crowds!!
