Orr Family Farm

On Friday (Oct 29th) we went to Orr Family Farm with Nana and Papa. Here is us arriving. Ethan was ready to go. There is so much to do at the farm. Unfortunately we did not get to do everything. Ethan looking at the pig.
Look at the pumpkins. The place is so pretty and has so many things to stop and look at.

Our first stop was the maze. This was a little bit of a challenge. Here is Mike and Ethan trying to find their way out. Which was do we go?

Ethan find a tube to crawl through. There were huge slides as well but we skipped them this trip. Ethan really likes this tube and would go back and forth.
Waiting for the hay ride. Ethan was not very happy about waiting.

The hayride took us out to the corn maze and pumpkin patch. We went through the corn maze first.
Showing Ethan the corn in the maze. He was interested in it and wanted to get a taste.

Next stop was the animal petting. Look at that little pig.
Ethan looking at the animals. He loves animals. He was able to see pigs, goats, bunnies, and more. Ethan petted a few of them and also got a few kisses from the animals.
On the way out Ethan stopped at the train. He played on it for just a few minutes. There was so many toys to play on but it was dark and cold so we had to skip most of the play area.
Last stop was the train ride. We took a ride around the farm on a train.
By this point it was so cold that Ethan was shivering. We had to wrap him up to keep him warm.
Bye Orr Farm. We had so much fun and really enjoyed the family time. We will definitely be back when it gets warmer.

Carving Pumpkins

It is tradition to carve pumpkins every year with my parents. We went over on Thursday (Oct 28th) to carve the pumpkins. Here is Mike and Nana preparing the pumpkins. Ethan decided he wanted to help a little but to. He was very interested in what we were all doing with the pumpkins.

Ethan decided he needed a break and went to the living room to play and watch Shrek.

Then he came back for a little more carving.

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch

On Wednesday (Oct 27th) we took Ethan to the Pumpkin patch. Daddy did not get to go so Nana and Papa took us.
Ethan was excited to see all the pumpkins. We told him to go pick out the pumpkin her wanted.

Ethan was very interested in the "bumpy" pumpkins. I think it was about the texture. He kept going to these but we did not end up with one.
Ethan checking out all the pumpkins. So many to pick from.

Trying to get a quick picture but Ethan was on the move.
I want this one...
Maybe we need a baby pumpkin too. Ethan thinks the small ones are balls and wants to throw them.
Ethan took the little one while papa carried the big one for us.

Happy Birthday Mommy!

After the OU game we went out to celebrate my birthday. I just wanted to do something with my family so my parents took us to eat and then we went to Andy Alligator. Here is a picture with me and my favorite little man.
First stop was bowling. Ethan was a little tired (he never had a full nap on this day due to all the activities). He was not real sure of bowling and just wanted me to hold him the entire time.

Nana played the Crane with Ethan. She won him a OU fan. Perfect fit for the day.

Ethan playing Skeet Ball. Ethan threw the balls and we pushed them up the rest of the way. This was probably Ethan's favorite game. He loves balls so this was right up his alley.
Time to play some hoops.
Ethan playing basketball.
After all the games we turned in our tickets and Ethan won a ball, rubber ducky, and army guy.

OU vs TX weekend

We are teaching Ethan at such a young age to support his team, OU Sooners! This weekend was one of the biggest games of the season, OU vs TX. We had to support are team all day by wearing our crimson and creme. Here is a quick picture of Ethan and I before the game.
For the game we went to our good friends house, Summer and Cameran Hollars. Ethan's little girl friend (Kadynce) house. There was several other kiddos there for Ethan to play with. Ethan and the other little boy Jayden made great friends.

Ethan and Kadynce playing in the same room. Unfortunately Ethan and his little girl friend don't really like to play with one another. KK does not like boys very much and Ethan won't share so they are having to learn to love one another. That's what happens when the mommies are friends. :)
It was so beautiful during the game so the kids spent a good deal of it outside. They were running and playing the entire time. Here is a quick pic of us getting them on the blanket.

During the game Ethan decided he needed to give all the adults high fives. Here is Ethan walking around to give everyone the victory high five.
Ethan as soon as we left the watch party. He was so worn out from cheering for his Sooners that he crashed as soon as we got in the car. Sooners won 28-20. Boomer Sooner!
