Mimi and Papa visit, the Pumpkin Patch and a 3 1/2 year old!

We had a great time with Mimi and Papa last week.  They flew in for a visit and so Brad could go to the Texas/OU game in Dallas with AJ.  AJ has really been wanting to take him....it is quite the experience!

While the guys were in Dallas, Mom and I took the boys to the Sweetberry Farm pumpkin patch on Hunter's half birthday!  This is the 3rd year we have been to this patch and Hunter definitely was able to do the most this year.  He painted a pumpkin, fed the goats, picked flowers and rode the barrel train.  We went on a Friday afternoon which was the perfect time to go....no long lines, crowds, easy parking.  Perfect!

Hunter is about 36 lbs and 39.5 inches tall.  He loves school and always comes home with new songs, tidbits of information and stories about his day.  He's lost some of the cute names he used to have for things ("My" for "I") and has a better memory than I could ever hope to have myself!  He's in to Jake and the Neverland Pirates at the moment as well as Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Doc McStuffins.  He still loves the PBS morning shows such as Sesame Street, Super Why, and Dinosaur Train.  He's becoming very independent and loves to help or try to do things by himself like pouring milk, making his own sandwich, helping cooking, etc.  While we have our moments as any 3 year old does, he's a great friend, is very social and just a sweet little boy.
