Cutting our Christmas Tree!

We went to Reindeer Lane today to cut down our Christmas tree. It was freezing cold, but the trees were so pretty with the snow on them! Drew's favorite part was sledding down the hill on the sled that was meant for pulling your tree when you cut it down. :)

Wheeeee!!!!!



Throwing snowballs instead of helping Mommy find the perfect tree.....





Found it!!!




Helping Daddy cut it down!!

Seriously.......

Thanksgiving at the farm

Here are a few pictures of our trip to Grainfield for Thanksgiving. Drew had a blast working on the farm. He got to cut milo in the combine with Grandpa, and as Drew says - "Grandpa even let me drive it!" He thought it was pretty funny when they chased some deer with the combine that were laying in the field of milo. Drew also couldn't wait every morning to go out with Grandpa and feed the kitties and the cows. He loves it there - but wants to know, "Why do Grandma and Grandpa live so far away from me?" He asked the whole way out there, "Do you see it yet? Do you see Grandma and Grandpa's farm?" :)

Making turkey cookies...yum!

Eating the candy corn feathers instead of putting them ON the turkeys.......

"I have to mow today...."

That is Drew's new favorite saying - even when it's freezing cold outside!! Here he is fixing his mower...can't have a successful lawn business with broken equipment.

FINALLY!!!!!!!

As many of you know, getting Drew's haircut takes 3 people holding him still, LOTS of tears and sweat, hair on EVERYONE, and practically an act of God. So....we were blown away when suddenly today he sat in the chair on his own (instead of on Brian's lap), let her put the cape on, (which has caused screaming in the past - he never has worn it), AND let her get through the entire haircut without so much as a peep or a tear. We were so proud of him!! Needless to say, he got pretty much anything he wanted for the rest of the day. :)

Here's a couple pics of the big boy haircut!

It's a.............

BOY! We are very excited since we found out that Drew will have a baby brother in March! He is getting used to the idea, but it's taken some time because he was dead set on it being a baby sister. :) Drew got to feel little "bruver" kick the other night - he thought that was pretty cool!

Here is a profile picture of the little guy...

What I think is a leg.....

The boy parts, his face, and a little arm.

Happy Halloween!

A few pics of Drew and Daddy carving his pumpkin, and then on Halloween as a rockstar (or "guitar guy" as Drew calls it) :)

Football Fun!

And a little leaf blowing when he was done!!

Pumpkin Patch!

Here are a few pictures from our trips to the pumpkin patch this fall. Drew's favorite activities - riding the tractors and pushing around pumpkins!
