This past Saturday, Grandma and Grandpa Byrne got dressed up for Halloween for one of the soccer leagues they are involved in. So that afternoon, they stopped by to show Aiden and Blake their costumes.

Grandma was dressed as a pumpkin.
Grandpa was dressed up as Shrek...the boys weren't sure what to think.


Pumpkin Carving

After getting home from Eckerts, we had a big pot of chili and Jeni made apple crisp for desert. Once Aiden and Blake went to bed, Jason, Brian and Phil were on a mission to find patterns to carve the pumpkins.


Chase helped clean out the pumpkins, but decided it was too gooey to pick out the seeds so he had to use a spoon.
The finished product.

Apple Picking

On Sunday, 10-19, we made a trip to Eckert's Farm to pick apples and get our pumpkin for Halloween. The weather was great that day. With the cool breeze and a slow tracker ride, the boys were able to catch some zzz's.


Here's the crew: Phil, Chase, Jill, Brian, Jeni, Aiden, Hillary, Jason, Blake, and Katie!
Jason and I used the Baby Bjorn's for the first time, they worked out great. Brain and Jeni found two small apples for Aiden and Blake

The end of a long day, the boys seemed to really enjoy themselves.

Play Time

Here are some fun pictures of the boys playing. They are now cooing and laughing more and more each day.

Weekend Visitors

This weekend Nan and Granddad Perkins made the trip to STL to spend some time with the boys. We had a great time.

On Sunday, we had family over for lunch and posed for some pictures. The dogs caused more problems than Aiden and Blake.

AB Family Day

On Sunday, September 28 we had Anhueser-Busch Family Day at Six Flags. We spent the afternoon there with Grandpa and Grandma Byrne. It was pretty hot that day so we did not stay very long, and the boys slept through most of their first Six Flags experience. However, Blake was able to wake up for one picture!
