Even in October it doesn't feel much like fall yet with highs still in the 90s, but nothing gets us in the fall spirit better than visiting my favorite ranch! We have gone to this place every October since living here. I love it and there are a bunch of fun 'farm' activites to keep us busy all day long! It was a blast...(I'm behind...we did this back on Oct. 11th)
So I posted things a bit out of order...so make sure you look under the Ren Fest post for the boys baseball post!
I snapped these pics at the Ren Fest...I love these shots. I LOVE this one of Tucker..he is such a good photo taker! Trey can be such a booger at times...he is anti-picture right now...as soon as I snap the shot he is smiling at me..saying "that was my mean face!" Ty's cheeks look extra chubby in this one...I just want to nibble on them...he was making a face at me too! 
We had a fun-filled family day at the Ren Fest in our area!
We let the boys do some fun activities!!
We walked around the entire place, which was huge and had some great food...I wish I would have taken pictures of what we ate, but I was too busy eating :D Anyways, we had a fried peanut butter and jelly sandwitch (which was GOOD) with ice cream on top (which Ty loved), a turkey leg, corn on the cob, beef jerkey, a lamb gyro (which was my favorite, although I was a getting over a really bad cold, so I couldn't taste very good...) and we also got a frozen lemonade and a frozen pomagranite slush, which was good too.
Ty's face cracks me up...he was just in awww of all the sights and sounds...I wish we could have heard what he was thinking because it is definitely 'different' there!
The highlight (besides the food) was the Joust! Tucker LOVED it the most...he wanted a front row seat! It was pretty neat!
Trey wasn't as into it as Tucker was, it was hot and all he cared about was drinking his frozen lemonade. He was nice enough to share it with Ty...even though the drink was about as tall as Ty.
Rolling down the hill after the joust.
We ended the day with 2 pretty awesome wooden swoards! Daddy sure does spoil his boys!
It was such a fun day and everyone was exhaused afterwards! If you have never been to a renaissance festival before, you should definitely check one out! It is quite an experience!!!
Baseball and T-ball season is in full swing!! The boys have been asking to play, so we signed them up. It turned out to be a little crazier than I expected because all the games are on weeknights. Each boy has two games a week and one of those days each boy has a game at the exact same time on exact opposite sides of the complex (about a half mile apart). Oh well such is life of a Baseball Mom :D
This is Tucker's 2nd season, last year he played t-ball at the Y, but this year we found a new organization to play for and he was old enough for Coach Pitch!!! He is THRILLED about this and really LOVES it! I am one proud momma, he has hit the ball every time he is up and the last few games, he has been hitting it all the way to the outfield! He needs a little work in the field, on where to throw the ball or when to not throw it, but he can field a ground ball, catch the ball (well, like 75% of the time), and he has a great arm! It is so fun watching him play!
Trey is playing his very first year of t-ball, but is not loving it. He was excited at first, but it is wearing off. A couple of games ago while playing short stop, a boy from the other team (who hit really hard) hit the ball, it bounced and hit Trey right in the mouth. And ever since then, it has been a struggle to get him on the field to play. Once he is out there, he enjoys it, but he is not very happy about playing anymore. I wish he wasn't scared though (or whatever is keeping him from wanting to play..we also think part of it might be because he isn't playing with Tucker and he is used to having Tucker there with him for everything, so that has been a HUGE change for the boys since school started.) He is one of the best hitters on the team. He does need to work on his throwing a bit, but he does a great job when he is actually out there on the field.
Everyone loves Fall in this house, so to celebrate the season change I bought the boys wooden pumpkins to paint. They love painting and are getting better at it everytime...meaning more paint on the project, less on the table, chairs, hands and well the rest of their bodies for that matter. 
Today at Tucker's school is wear your favorite college shirt..we happen to only actually own 1 college shirt in Tucker's current size...
In case you can't read his shirt...it says Wisconsin! Have a feeling he is the only kid with that college on his shirt :D
I wore my shirt to show my support too. (Just ignore my bad attempt at a picture...it's hard to do a self picture with my big camera and I don't trust Trey to hold it either...but you get the idea right? And Ty woke me up at 5:30 this morning and didn't go back to sleep...so needless to say I'm tired)
Oh and FYI, if they happen to have an NFL spirit day he will wear a Green Bay shirt!
