I have been SOOOOO behind in my blogging and I apologize!! Here are the pictures from the *gulp* last 4 months. I would make a resolution to update more often, but I’d probably break it too quickly I’ll try, I promise!!!

Jackson was so tired on the ride home from VT that he couldn’t even finish eating his goldfish cracker. When I took it out of his mouth, there was half a fish – haha! Oh, and did I mention that he didn’t nap for two days and that he was up all night screaming. Good times! Fortunately Grandma and Grandpa Agoes said he was still invited back for another visit … or maybe they were just being nice

The 20th Annual Pumpkin Festival in Keene, NH

admin — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 03:05:44 +0000

Our plans to visit family up in VT a few weeks ago were thwarted by the summer drought and a dry well, so we rescheduled for this weekend. Come to find out it was the 20th annual Pumpkin Festival in Keene, NH so we took a ride over to check it out. It was a chilly, blustery day, but we managed to keep warm enough to walk around the downtown area and see most of the pumpkins. This year the final figure was a bit shy of 23,000 pumpkins! We saw some creative pumpkins and got lots of ideas for next year.

Umm, Dad? I think there's something on your head ...

Yes, there's a pumpkin on my head and I like it

Talking with the animals in the barn, that’s what we did on the farm

Stephanie and I decided to drive over and check out Drumlin Farm one morning with the kiddies. We spent the picture-perfect Fall morning walking around the farm visiting the animals. I have to say, this was the cleanest farm I have ever seen! Definitely worth a visit if you haven’t been before.

You can see all of our pictures from the farm here.

Well, hello there! Or should I say "cluck, cluck, cluck"?

That goat's looking at me

'Sup cow?

I don't get it?

What a beautiful day!

All smiles for the camera, but two seconds before this shot they were pushing each other off the seat fighting over the steering wheel

Happy Fall!

Pros at the buddy system

Cool gourds

I've never seen white pumpkins before

Buh-Bye High Chair

admin — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 03:32:41 +0000

Mealtimes were becoming a battle of the wills when trying to get Jackson into his highchair. I decided it was time to try more of a “big boy” chair. I found this contraption called a Kaboost Chair Booster, so we ordered it and it seems to be working quite well so far. Now I wonder if they sell something to get a toddler to actually eat his dinner …

You can kaboost me to the table, but I'm still not going to eat!

Tasty Treats

So many different cupcakes, so little time! To solve this problem, we decided to each have a cupcake party once a month to try different recipes and practice our baking. It’s a pretty delicious monthly treat

Caramel apple cupcakes = yum-o!

Beep, beep!

Sniff, sniff

Apparently Jackson is the official flower sniffer of Clifton Ave

Heigh Ho, Silver, Away!

More silliness, Ma!

Faster than a speeding bullet ...

Can you catch me?

Charlie Brown’s Watermelon

admin — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 02:45:52 +0000

Grandma and Grandpa Bradley got Jackson a watermelon plant back in June. We planted it in the garden and toiled and fussed over it all summer. After months and months of anticipation our watermelon was ready to pick! It was anticlimactic really as it was quite small and not very tasty. Bummer …

Do I eat it like an apple?

Do we have to share? I don't think there's enough to go around!
