My Birthday

I had a great birthday with a weinie roast at mom & dad's with everyone there.  That night when we got home and were getting the boys ready for bed I decided we should take some pictures so I got some with the boys...

 And got one of Kale & Jason reading and then asked Lane to get with them so we could take a group picture...

 I'm not sure what he did, but he was about to get in trouble by Jason. 

 and then cracked his dad up and everything was fine :)

a family pic to end my birthday

Fall Fun

 Jason's fall turkey

 We finally got some bales of straw & corn stalks to go with our pumpkins & scarecrow

 the Belt kids came over to hang out one day while Jessi & Travis went to a cold wet ballgame...we watched it inside and stayed nice & dry. Here they are watching the Lone Ranger before Andi decided she didn't like it :)

 spiders for snacks one day

 Lane wearing his Tonto headband and eating spiders

 Kale wasn't so sure about his spider...I think Lane ended up eating it

 getting ready to take a family picture....and a good one to go with it

Totten's Pumpkin Patch

Every year the whole Pollard gang heads to Totten's Pumpkin Patch to pick out pumpkins and have some fun feeding the deer, going through the straw tunnel, and just running around.  This year we went early and it was a beautiful day.  After we went back to Ed & Lola's for supper and play.  Justin & Jason attempted to rope the kids while they ran around the back yard and we all got some good laughs in!

 One of Kale & Lane's favorite things every year...the tunnel.  As we were walking to the car Lane turned and ran for it and went thru one more time before we got him loaded!

 Of course we had to spend some time posing for pictures too

what a clown

 And now some roping fun

I'm not sure if Jason roped Kale or just caught him to tie him up

no matter how big, "boys will boys", right?!?

More September Fun

Getting ready to paint the shooting bench.  Jason had lots of help :)

The boys loading up the gator (again)

they couldn't fit the tricycle in so they took the lawn mower

I'm not sure where they were going or what they were doing, but I'm sure they had a good story

September Football

Some pictures from indoor fun during September...

 watching the Lone Ranger

 and one of our faves....playing football.  Yes, they all 3 are nerds and have their "helmets" on!

Jason tackling Lane...

and the boys getting him back...I think there might have been a facemask call on that one!

August

The boys loved playing outside this summer and we couldn't keep the gator charged.  It seems like they always had to be hauling something in it too.

 I love how they always look at each other when I'm trying to get a picture of them together.  Even if it doesn't turn out to be a "good" picture I love it!

 Hauling Kale's bike

 they lost it

 and took turns trying to get it loaded back up before having to get backup help

  

all loaded up and ready to go again

July

The boys are busy as ever and July was a fun month for us.  We moved to our new house, Kayla came for a visit, had Kale's bday party, got to work with sheep, started fair season, had Bible School, and the Belt kids got to spend the night

Lane & Kale love "riding the bull" and Kale loves to buck Lane off  :)

The Belt kids came over late one night and spent the night...it was right at bedtime, but they got to play the next morning

the big kids stacked the buckets up to make a tower and the little boys took turns knocking it over and sqealing :)

The boys have hats they love to play with including their "racing hats" {aka strainers}

Lane is getting so big and, not surprisingly, is in to everything!
