Go Boilers!

Gigi, Xavier and I went to a pumpkin "patch" in Lafayette before we left for Florida. I say "patch" because it was a big set-up in a church parking lot. We figured next year he would enjoy a real patch! (he was reallllly interested in the piece of hay he pulled out of a bale)

Posing with the pumpkins. I also just figured out how to do the black and white feature on my camera!

Picking out his pumpkin! Or rather riding with his pumpkin!

Xavier loves to watch the Boilers on Saturdays. Or should we say the "Spoilers" :)

Xavier loves to get on the riding toys. He doesn't go anywhere just yet but he likes to be pushed along. We were all at Gigi and Opa's house this weekend. Caden didn't really want to share the riding toys or many toys for that matter with X. I think now that X is on the move Caden has become a little possessive of the toys.

We had to take this picture. Caden was just chilling out with a box of Wheat Thins watching Fox and Friends on Saturday morning. At least he knows to watch the right news channel!!

I cannot believe how smart Caden is already. He knows his colors, I think most numbers and the alphabet already (he turns 2 in January). He mixes a couple letters up now and then, but he is one smart cookie. Today Jake was wearing a gold/copper/burnt orange shirt and Caden said, yellow? Orange? We told him copper and he was like okay, copper.

We took Qdoba breakfast burritos down to Ashley's this morning to have a little birthday celebration! It is sometimes sad yet so amazing that we have all grown up. I can remember her being a cutesy, little blond show off growing up. Now she is a cute, blond, mother of 2! (pics of Chloe to come shortly)

Life goes by so fast and changes in a heartbeat! Xavier is 8 months old already and it is just so amazing to watch him grow and change. Words just can't even explain the pure joy and love I feel when I wake up and see him every morning.

The medicated lotion I have been using this week for his exzema has already helped his skin so much, so hoping that gets better and/or goes away!
Little guy is taking a nap and resting up to go watch Daddy's flag football game at 3 (maybe....) and the Bear's tonight for Sunday night football!
