Sweet Jaren

My best friend Kim had her baby earlier this month. Sweet Jaren is just perfect. His name is a mix of Kim's late mom Karen and Quent's late dad Jim. So, now, both kids have all of their grandparents' names mixed in somehow. That Kim ... she's clever!

I pulled these pictures off of her Facebook, and they had to include Knox because you can't leave out the cutest big brother ever!

Congrats on Jaren! I can't wait to meet him!

Pumpkin Patch

Mom and I took Luke to a pumpkin patch outside of Marble Falls. I had no idea it would be as big as it was. There were corn mazes, horse rides, scarescrow stuffing, you name it ...

Luke really liked driving the tractor, feeding the goats and petting the horses. Mom and I didn't prepare for how hot it was! Geez. It is October, after all -- why wouldn't it be 90??

Oh -- he did like to bounce his bottom on the pumpkins. No idea why, but it was fun ...

Little Drummer Boy

Luke and I visited Grammy and Grandpa the other day, and Grandpa had a gig a local restaurant in Marble Falls. Before the set, Grandpa let Luke get down on the drumset, and he's a natural! Mom and Dad say they're getting him a drumset for Christmas. Ummm. No way. Get a drumset that stays at Grammy and Grandpa's house! Now, that's a good idea.

Lil' Hunter

Adam had a hunting trip today. Luke's too little to go, so for now we just play dress up, but one day, he'll be big enough (I'll need to be medicated or something when this happens).

Adam tells me these trips are "to put food on the table," but I know better. I think they're just beer-drinking, gun-shooting, bird (or deer)-chasing rowdiness. And, I've promised it's one party he doesn't have to worry about me crashing.

Sweet Baby O!

Luke has a new cousin, Olivia Gray. She is so pretty, just like her momma. Ryan and Michaela make some cute kids! She was born on September 18th and is happy and healthy!

So far, we've had two playdates with Nolan and Olivia, and Luke hasn't tried to poke or prod Olivia too much. He was too occupied with the other half of Double Trouble, Nolan. (These two boys are going to be a handful when they're older!)

Congratulations, Ryan and Michaela! Perfect O!

And, during the reception, they had a white screen where you could take your own pictures. They turned out so funny!
