Happy Halloween!

Do I know Halloween is over? YES! Everybody has been sick at our house, and Halloween weekend was no exception.... Soooo... we did our Trick-or-Treating a little late. Maybe next year we'll get it right!

Derek & Kyler... Yes, I'm going to hear about this if anyone tells him I put this on here. He was a REALLY good sport and put on his duster and cowboy hat to dress like Colton! However, we never did get Colton to stand still long enough to take a picture with him... :(

Our little Ghost!

Our Cowboy striking a pose on his horse!

Colton the Cowboy, Jace the Pirate, and Kyler the Ghost... We had to be FAST for that picture!

Jace & Kyler...


This will get easier next year...right????

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch!!!

Last weekend, we went to Renyer's Pumpkin Farm with some of our friends and had a GREAT time!

Playing before we left...

Colton in his element...grain bin with corn to play in.

Jumping off the ramp...the kid that loves to jump off of EVERYTHING took his time warming up to this, but was having a blast in no time!

At the top of the tire pile with his friend Jackson...we need one of these!!!

My child that HATES carousels LOVED these horse tire swings!

"Milking" the cow

On the hay rack ride with the Hartman boys and their Mom

Lunch Time!

The "train"


Heading to the top of the slide...

And our friends FINALLY convinced him to go down with them!

One very tired boy!


In case you're wondering, yes, Kyler came along to the pumpkin patch, but she was in her carrier with me all day, so had little opportunity for pictures of her, but I think she enjoyed the day also! Can't wait to go back next year!

Pictures!

We had pictures taken a couple weeks ago at Krug Park and they turned out GREAT! Here is a sneak peek...

The many faces of Colton... And before you ask...yes, that is a tattoo on his arm (a heart w/ Mom in the middle from the football game the night before...) and yes, those are his camo boots he has on. Only Colton...






Kyler...as most of you know, I am NOT a fan of headbands at all... However, these are still pretty cute! :)






Together...someday they're going to hate me for this, but it's SO stinkin' cute! We HAD to have pictures of both of them in their Wranglers...

Where's Kyler?

She is definitely getting where she wants to go these days... She's not all over the place yet, but she's well on her way!

She starts out here...

And ends up somewhere over here....

Or yesterday got herself stuck here...and yes, I took a picture before I got her out... :)


Or in bed, she starts out here...

And ends up here...

Yesterday, when she was supposed to be taking a nap...I caught her here, chewing on the rail. Guess we're going to have to start putting that up! Too bad for short little me!

Good thing she's cute!

And LOVES her big brother! Colton reading her a book before they go to bed...

Good Night! Sleep tight! Don't let the bed bugs bite!

Pickin' Corn

Well, it's that time of year again. It's that time when my husband is out helping with harvest every minute he's not working and I'm home with the kids. Sort of. This year, Colton's old enough that he gets to "go to work" with Daddy, Grandpa, Jed and Aaron. Been great for me, and from what I hear, it's entertaining for them since he is CONSTANTLY asking questions! :) I got to ride in the tractor with Derek last weekend while Colton rode in the combine with Grandpa. May be my first/last tractor ride of the season because Colton informed me later that "girls don't ride in tractors!" Now who do you suppose told him that?



Yes, that is a picture of my son...alone in the combine...

And at the end of the day, if he's been good, Grandpa lets him drive home...

Thanks for a great day Grandpa!

And while they're out farming, Kyler gets to pose for the camera!

Birthday Pictures...

OK. So I'm a little late getting the pictures from Colton's birthday party on here, but you should be used to this by now... :)

Camo Birthday cake by my Aunt Tina Colton has been working very hard to get three fingers up! Family pictures with the birthday boy! Aunt Tarin & Uncle Blaine got him an MP3 player that he HAD to listen to while opening the rest of his presents... Babies...Jayger Luedke (5/3/10), Kyler Luedke (3/11/10) & Jace Johnson (3/23/10)
