October 2012

Gram and Pop Auge visited for "Grandparents Day" at Miles' school.

Miles was very proud to show off his classroom!

We took the boys to "The Great Wolfe Lodge Waterpark/Resort" for Halloween.

We had SO MUCH FUN!

We dressed as a "Family of Dinosaurs".  Miles insisted on being a "Red Dinosaur" and Parker liked the green one.

After Trick or Treating, we treated the boys to their very first "ice cream sundaes".  They both LOVED THEM!

Kasey showing the boys his BUCK!

Parker LOVES driving Daddy's A.T.V!

The boys sitting on their pumpkins

Both boys really enjoy painting.  Just like mommy.  :)

We ended out our "Summer Weather" with a campfire in the backyard.  We had roasted weenies and marshmellows for dinner while Daddy hunted.

Mom was the helper at Miles' first field trip to the pumpkin patch.  We even got to ride the white school bus to get there.

Miles enjoying petting the animals at the pumpkin patch.

Parker took Gram for a ride on his A.T.V!

A SMALL GLIMPSE OF OUR SUMMER:

Parkers first ride at Alpenfest, and he got to drive!

Parker was crawling out of his crib over and over and was unable to get back in it to sleep.  SO, he now has a big boy bed that he can crawl in and out of at his leisure...

OUR A.T.V. SUMMER:

It all started with Kasey taking the boys for rides on his A.T.V!  They have SO MUCH fun!

Parker started the summer out with this very little and very slow A.T.V...

Then Parker progressed to the truck that is a little bit faster than the small A.T.V, and brother Miles liked to go along for a ride.

About mid summer, Gram took Parker for a ride on Miles' A.T.V, which is bigger and faster than Parkers small A.T.V...

And then he was off on his own...  He had to ride a lil' lop-sided so that he could reach the pedal.

And of course the boys wanted to ride together....

Miles driving his cousin Jessica around...

Parker taking a turn in the truck.

And again on the A.T.V!

Then one day Uncle Lee and Aunt Kellee gave us their old A.T.V.  This red one is much BIGGER AND FASTER than the blue one.  Kasey and Wendi thought it would perfect for Miles and then Parker can have the blue one.  We thought that the red one would be way too big for Parks, until...

He just HAD to try it too.  Of course he now wanted to ride the red one instead of the blue one.

So now they share it and no one rides the blue one....  How silly!
