pumpkin patch

 

 i'm not sure either one of them know how to pose for a picture without making a crazy face!

 

We went to the pumpkin patch toward the end of their visit, and the kids were a hoot!  We had so much fun with everybody here visiting!  Maybe we can go visit them next time!

birthday boy!

 

opening his present!

 

Brittany's little boy turned 2 last month, but since they were in Louisiana, we wanted to throw a mini party for him here!  so, that is what we did!

family photos

 

 she's so happy!

 

Brittany took our family photos the past 2 or 3 years, and while she was visiting, we had her (try to) take some more.  the kids were not very cooperative, as you can see, but they look like they had a blast!
