A Fun Fall Weekend

What a beautiful fall weekend! We enjoyed the awesome weather on Saturday by taking our little boy apple and pumpkin picking. Thank goodness that we went this weekend as there was slim picking in the apple trees, but I am happy to have a large amount to make apple crisp (maybe even twice), applesauce, and enjoy apples with some cinnamon sugar! I can't wait to do some cooking this week. Aiden ate his weight in apples while we were in the fields, which made one very happy toddler. We also picked pumpkins at the same orchard. Aiden really wanted to get a BIG one, but our rule was that you could only get one that you could carry. So he was happy with his mini pumpkin and it sat with him in his car seat the whole way home. It was nice to get a break from all the moving chaos and enjoy some time as our little family. Here are some pictures from the orchard:

I really want this pumpkin, Mama!
Which one should I get?
I think I like this one!

We were lucky enough to have a special guest today, Uncle Nate! He is working in Hoboken, New Jersey this week and so we enjoyed a fun day with Uncle "Nat" as Aiden calls him. Thanks for coming to visit!

We put Nate to work as Chris needed an extra hand to help pick up some paving stones at Home Depot for his first landscaping project. First project is a success, it looks awesome:)

Great pictures- especially the apple eating and try to pick up the big pumpkin. Chris and Nate did a great job on the landscape project. The house is looking nice!

Thank's for the update of the Rogers Family, we really enjoyed all the nice pictures, that little boy is really growing up and he is such a neat looking little guy. Cris did a nice job with the stones, looks nice, your house looks nice too.
