Pumpkin carving

On Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch at church. They were having a fall festival with clowns, so Zach was a little thrown off by the whole thing. We picked out our pumpkins and went on home. On Sunday after church he wanted to see the pumpkins again, so we went over there and he plopped down with a big grin and said "Mommy take my picture!" But I didn't have the camera - darn! Oh, and yes that is a scratch on his cheek - he got into a little scuffle at school last week but it looks much better already.





That night we went to Tabitha's birthday party! Zach had fun looking at the goats and ponies but was not interested in a pony ride. It was a costume party but it was a little warm for his Elmo costume, so he wore his Elmo Longhorn shirt in honor of the game that day.

Tabitha's mommy had lots of fun crafts set up for the kids to do - he had a really great time decorating his pumpkin and making spiders.

We did put on the costume for a quick appearance...

this little girl was frozen in her tracks, she thought he was really Elmo!

Melmo!

On Safari

Okay, we were at Cabela's. But I thought it was a cute picture.

Cruising

"Sick" day

Last week Zachary was having some minor tummy issues, and I knew if I took him to school they would be calling me, so he got to have a day at home with Aunt Cynthia. Doesn't he look sick? :)

Music Farm

This weekend we went to Pioneer Farms where they film The Biscuit Brothers for the Austin Family Music Festival.

Zachary got to see two real fire trucks and the firemen even let him get inside!

There was also a little pumpkin patch...

and he got to see his first Bruce and Kelly show!

Here we are listening to the Biscuit Brothers (on stage behind us), but Zachary is keeping an eye on Clifford, the Big Red Dog.

Back at home, showing off our wristbands.

We also got to see Tabitha and her mom and dad, a friend from school, some donkeys (one really loud one), horses (some big ones pulling a wagon), lots of musical instruments, and some old-timey tractors. We also had fun finding sticks and people-watching.
