favorite pics of the month part 2

10-14-09 Ben has been asking all year when he would get to jump in the pile of leaves again. This is the first pile for the year, but Ben loved every minute of it. Kyle had a blast as well. I love taking pictures of the boys in the leaves, I just wish they would cooperate for the pictures. The last picture, Kyle really isn't smiling, he is whining and trying to get away from Ben who is trying to give him a hug.

10-14-09 Kyle has always loved our fish tanks. When he was really colicky as an infant, we would spend 2-3 hours a night in front of the fish tank. That is how Calvin talked me into the tank in the living room. Recently, Kyle has decided that this gives him the best view of the tank.

10-17-09 Ben got up at 5:45 am and went out to duck and goose hunting with Calvin. They went to the infamous pit just north of Watervliet on County Line Road. Ben had to bring in the two ducks that they got and tell me all about them...who shot what bird, where they were shot, what kind of ducks they were...I have it all on video tape. Normally, the animals are not into the house until they look like a piece of meat, but Ben was so excited I couldn't tell him to take them outside.

10-18-09 Kyle is becoming such the little man. He has figured out where the snack table is at church and goes and helps himself to cookies. What is really funny is when the snack table is out of cookies, he knows where the kitchen is to go and beg some more off of Pat.

10-19-09 Kyle decided he wanted to ride Ben's bike...I don't think he is quite big enough yet. Ben was afraid that he might tip the bike over, so he got on as well.

10-19-09 Ben decided he wanted to pose here for a picture. I could not convince him to take off the bike helmet.
