It's Apple Picking Time!

This was our first weekend home in quite some time...it was our first weekend without the races! We started the weekend Friday evening going to a local carnival, where they had free inflatables or the boys. They had so much fun! Saturday morning we headed to the apple orchard. We wanted to get there when it opened, but we ended up getting there a little early and had to drive around a little bit before we could go there! It was a gorgeous day and we had a great time! Here are a few photos from our visit!

Swinging!

Zane couldn't wait to ride these!

Mason had to be pushed!

Off to find some apples!

See any good ones up there?

Mason tested most of his out...

Get a good one!

Saturday evening we went to the Ottis' house. We ordered pizza and watched the Northwest game. It's fun to get to watch the game on tv! The kids had a great time playing (except poor Nora was Mason's punching bag...he's a brute)! I'm so glad our kids are growing up together! We left right before the Iowa game started. When we got home and were settling down, I was having Mason cheer for the Hawks...here he is cheering (of course he was doing way better before the camera came out...go figure)!

Go Hawkeyes!

Zane-isms

• Last week as I was getting our fall decorations out, Zane came up to me and said, "Mom, why did you get your crows out?" I figured out he meant scarecrows and I said that it was fall. His response was, "Does that mean it's time to pick pumpkins?" Fall is our favorite!
• "Dad, how did God get his big truck down here to build our house? And why did he build our house in Kansas City and not in Iowa?"
• "Dad, Marcy has Super Mario, but she doesn't win it like we do because we are buddies!"

Mason's Marvels

• The other evening I left to get some milk and a couple of other things at the grocery store. When I returned and walked into the house, Mason looked at me and said, "Oh, dos-ees" (Oh, groceries)! I didn't even know he knew that word!
• Zane was in time-out in his room this weekend and Mason walked to his room, looked at him, and said, "Bad Zane. Naughty."
