Flag Football, Field Trip, Farms, and Fall

Flag Football
Grant and Grady played flag football on the same league and team this year with Gerald as the coach!    Gerald had fun coaching the team and his sons!  The boys' opposite personalities sure showed up on the field!  Grant took it very seriously!  He tried to get as many touchdowns and flags as possible.  He showed his temper at times, but did very good overall!  Grady's whole goal was to make everyone laugh!  He did a great job at it!  He ran the ball to the wrong end zone, hiked the ball OVER HIS HEAD, and yelled out chants(We like to move it, move it!!)!  Grady was also known to run over other players instead of around them.  We had to remind him that it wasn't tackle football!  I think it was so good for the boys to play on a team together!

Grady's favorite part of the game... Drink breaks!  :)
Gilli likes to try on her Uncle Pete's hat during the game
Grady received his first trophy from Coach Dad.
Grant gave dad a high five while receiving his trophy.
Teamwork... the G bro's go for a flag.

Field Trip to the Apply Orchard/Pumpkin Patch
Grady had his first preschool field trip a couple weeks ago.  He didn't feel the best that day, but we persevered and still managed to pick apples, take a hay ride, and pick out a pumpkin.  It was so fun to spend a day with my little monster, just the two of us!  
He was so funny!  He picked the very first pumpkin he saw.  It was two steps away from the hay wagon!  Poor buddy was tired! 
He was supposed to pick 6 apples, but was done after 2.  Despite the look on his face, we really did have fun!  He got an apple cider slushy for the way home and that made him feel a little better.

Farming
The most wonderful time of the year, according to Grant, is combining season!  The boys rode on the combine together this year and had a great time with Grandpa!  Here are the future farmers at work...


Fall Means Pumpkins!!
The most wonderful time of the year, according to me, is Fall!  I love the pumpkins, pretty leaves, cider, and cooler weather!  This year it was warm enough to carve the pumpkins outside!  We have had a beautiful Fall!!
I even love the pumpkin goo!  I think it is so fun to watch the boys enjoy carving the pumpkins!
Grant takes a break to pose with Kobee
Grant drew his own face on his pumpkin this year!  
The finished product after dad helped carve it out!  Very nice!
My expert carver!  He coaches, carves, and cooks and he is all mine!  :)

Holy cow! There are so many blog posts wrapped into one big one here, I'm not sure where to start! :) You must have had a lot to get off your chest. (haha!) Seriously, I love them all...from football to tractors, you've essentially covered the essence of fall with your beautiful family.

I'll call you on my way to work today...love you!
