The Halyburtons

Lexi and I carved our pumpkins on Wednesday night. Brian had to work late so he missed out on all the fun! Jackson was there with Lexi and I but he appartently had better things to do...like pulling all his clothes out of his dresser drawers and bringing them out to the living room! Anyway, Lexi and I had fun! I let her draw the faces that she wanted on the pumpkins and then I cut them out. I think she did a great job!
They look great at night all lite up so I will take a photo of them tonight to show off later!
I am so proud of Lexi with her drawing! She is doing so great with her shapes! Like I said before, she is the artist behind this year's pumpkins!

This Saturday, Brian and I went to the Homecoming Badger Football game. The kids had a fun-filled day with Uncle Dustin and Aunt Tricia while we were at the game with our friends Jason and Emily, as well as Brian's other brother Elliot. It was a great day for a football game! The weather was great and our team won; Wisconsin 27 - Illinois 17!!!!Jason and Emily
The Halyburtons!

The kids were acting so silly and smiley on Wednesday night that I couldn't resist snapping a few photos of them. Jack grew tired of mom's camera after a while but Lexi was always ready to get her picture taken!

A little reminder of what we were like then; October 13, 2007...

...And what we are like now; October 19, 2008! What a difference a year can make!?!

We have a new tradition every fall...picking pumpkins at a local farm. This is our second year doing this and it was more fun than last year. We went with Dustin, Tricia and Riley again this year and the kids just LOVED it!! Jack and Riley were too young last year to know what was going on but they definately knew what to do this year! We had such a great time!

Enjoy the photos of our day on the farm, picking pumpkins!

Counting the cows! (There were two; don't believe me, just ask Lexi!)

LOVE this photo!!
Running to the pumpkins!
"Let's go over here first, Jack"
"Stand back, ladies! I'll get it!"

The farm puts together this great hay bail maze for the smaller kids. I think we spent more time in there then anywhere else on the farm! The kids had a great time!
"No, we don't need directions! I'll get us going the right way!"

"Okay, maybe I do need directions!"


We couldn't get Jack to sit still long enough or smile, for that matter, but it's still a very cute photo of our beautiful babies!

Wagon ride!!!

Family photo!!

If at anytime we lost site of Jack, we would just look towards where the cows were; that is usually where you could find him! (He would climb up on the fence all by himself!)
