life

 Almost outgrown his car seat. Not looking forward to the day when he has to upgrade to the bigger seat. :/

 He has found his hands and sucks on his fist, fingers and thumb frequently. He doesn't take a pacifier, so it helps.

 We went to the pumpkin patch and brought home some huge pumpkins. It was freezing!!

 The next day we went for a drive, "to see the fall colors" in the mountains. Instead, we found about 6" of snow.

 Of course, the boys were in heaven!!

 We did see some bright yellows and reds - I love fall! It was especially pretty with snow on the mountains in the background.

And a funny story - because what is our life without something crazy happening on all the adventures that Tyler takes us on?

Because of all the wet, heavy snow, a bunch of trees and branches were down on the road. We were driving our Honda Pilot over these sticks, which we've done plenty of times before without any issues. About halfway through our drive, this weird high-pitched squeal would start when he hit certain speeds. It kept up all the way home and we decided to take it in to get looked at the next day, since it needed an oil change anyway. Just before we leave to take it in, Tyler looks underneath and finds the sticks that Clayton is laying next to in the above picture. They were jammed up underneath the car pretty tight. The longest one he had to cut in order to get it out. I'm glad he got those out before we took it to the service guys - but they would have gotten a pretty good laugh out of that!!
