Aunt Jenn had him laughing while he was eating peas for dinner.
Right after he got up from his nap, he still looks tired.
He loves to follow Grandpa wherever he goes.
Grandpa showing Cole how to paint the shed.
What a smile
And Another !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jenn's class is having a wacky friday and so she has done a new hair style for the day.
We tried to train her but this is what happens when they get older.
Aunt Jenn bought a pumpkin for Alex to paint so we thought maybe today her and Cole could carv it, since the paint wore off.
Aunt Jenn what's the problem why are you not cutting the Pumpkin?
Cole likes playing with it.
We got a smile while he as moving his head.
Steve is trying to rig some wires for the windshield wiper fluid.
I had to put the summer furniture away for the winter. My porch looks so empty, I don't like the new look.
I love Steve's new toy and I think I have used it more than he has.
These are the leaves I still have to do when they all hit the ground:(So here are some pictures of the new bed mom bought for the kids to use when they visit. Right now Alex will be using it. The blanket that is on it is only temporary. Mom is making a blanket that has cars on it to make it more kid friendly.
The top of the bed!
The end of the bed!
The whole bed. It is a very nice bed and I am sure the kids will like sleeping Jess writing again today. Mom went with us to Poppy's Pumpkin Patch yesterday. It was a gorgeous day of sunshine and fall breezes. The pumpkin patch is only about 15 min. from our house and has tons of stuff to do. There are lots of animals to pet and feed, slides to ride, treehouses, and even a little cafe to get snacks!
Alex LOVED feeding the chickens.
Baby boy meets baby goat.
With a little coaching Alex fed the goats, too. And really liked it!
I enjoyed the treehouse as much as Alex did!
Grams, you gotta keep up with me if we are going to find our way out of this maze! 
Wow Daddy, hurry, that's a big slide! 
Grams wanted to go with Alex down the slide first. We got this video of them!
This was Thursday. We had to take the Scout to the new painter. It doesn't have a top or windshield (as you can see). It's a load of fun to drive!
Grandpa, we wanted you to see Alex's first attempt at watercolors. We did this many weeks ago and forgot to post it. But I came across the pictures the other day, so here they are. Alex really, really liked these paints. I think it was because he had so many to choose from. The only problem is that by the time he got done mixing them altogether, most of the painting was turning out in different shades of brown mud! Guess he needs a few lessons from Grandpa!!
This is Jess posting again...
I told Jen about all the cupcakes I made for the Fall Family Fun Night at church tomorrow night and she asked me to post them on the blog. We do a big carnival type of party every year as a Halloween alternative. The kids dress up and the teens run booths as a fundraiser/fun event. One of the s asked me to make cupcakes for the "Cupcake Walk" booth. So I tried to make them fun for kids and grown-ups...hence the Nebraska "N"--giving in to peer pressure I guess!
Dad is dressing up the bookcases he got.
When we first moved to Iowa there was a schhol getting rid of these bookcases and we were able to get them for $15.00 each, they are soild oak. The Lord has been very good to us and given us such great deals.
Having the bookcases up stairs has given this extra room a purpose and now it is Steves libary.
What is it with boys and cars?
Watch out everybody here I come.
My Grandpa taught me how to drive:)
Ok !!!! So The Cake Does Not Look Great, But It Did Taste Good.
It Did Look Better With The Candles Lit:)
Man Does Ryan Have A Lot Of Hot Air.
Are they close enough
It looks like Alex is crying but he was laughing
Grandpa loves it that Alex is big enough for wrestling
These two boys love to play
