Pumpkin Patch

We had a nice long weekend and took the twins to the pumpkin patch in Bixby on Saturday. We had just enough time to take some pictures, pet the goats, and pick out pumpkins before it started raining.



As you can see, Leah was thrilled at first about sitting in a giant pile of pumpkins.
She finally did warm up to the idea and with Brad and me and my parents all talking to her and standing on our heads, we got a little smile.
We put Colin down next to Leah and he was loving the whole pumpkin patch experience. Shortly after this, Leah let us know she was ready to be picked up and out of the pumpkin pile.

Colin thought it was great that the pumpkins moved a little and he could play on them.
Then he realized he could lick them (gross!) and we picked him up after that. This is his "scrunchy face" which he hasn't done since he was about 6 months old. Now it is his tell for being mischevious or bugging his sister or one of the dogs. We see the scrunchy face and we know something's about to happen!
This little goat was not so sure about Colin at first. He warmed up to him though and let Colin pet him which Colin loved (no you may not bring home a goat, Colin).
Leah enjoyed touching this tiny goat's muzzle. So cute!
We have pumpkins but where are the babies???
Ahh found them! They were asking the scare crow for directions hehehe :)

New Cars and the Fair

So what have the Breuers been up to lately? Well, the twins got a new car to share. The first day Colin "drove" it around the living room in circles. They both love it because it's soft and roars when you press on the top of it.



Mom got a new car too. It is a little bigger than the twins' new ride. It's an 09 Tahoe and I absolutely love it. I wouldn't have believed you if you told me that I would be trading in my Equinox on a Tahoe because I loved the Equinox but we really needed something bigger especially since we make fairly frequent trips up to KC. The Equinox was great but just not enough room. My brother got a great deal on it too since he's the Internet Sales Manager at a Chevy dealership here :). It is so nice to have room for all of the baby "staples" we have with us at all times (double stroller, portable high chairs for eating out, diaper bag, etc) and enough room for groceries or other shopping.


This weekend we went to the Tulsa State Fair. Angie, my BFF, and her boyfriend, Tim, came down and went with us and Colin and Leah. It was a little warm but we had plenty to see in the Expo buildings and really I just go to eat all the fair food. The fried Snickers was better than I remembered from last year and we tried fried pickles and fried green tomatoes which we did not have last year. Brad realized today though that we didn't have a funnel cake while we were there and was pretty bummed. We'll have to watch for when the circus will be in town so we can go get him one :).
