Bonnie

We were planning on getting her sister but Emmett loved this one and held her the whole time we were there. I thought she was cuter anyway!

This was when I went to pick her up! I can't believe we actually did it!

Sweet baby Bonnie. 

After 2 weeks she has doubled in size! Leo loves walking her (or the other way around!). She has been a good little puppy so far. We love her!

Fall 🍁🍂🍃

We've done some fun things this fall! We saw hundreds of jack o lanterns at the punkin trail. 

Emmett had a Halloween party at preschool and they performed lots of fun songs. He was so animated and cute while he sang! 

We dressed up and went trunk or treating. Emmett loved it of course. 

We've gone twice to Atl' Do Farms. We told Emmett if he went poop in the potty he could ride a horse, but the first time we went the horses weren't there. That's why we had to go back! We rode the cow train, went for a hay ride and picked pumpkins, pet some animals, and went through the corn maze. Both boys had so much fun. Then we went back the next week and Emmett got to ride a horse! He did so well. I can't believe how grown up he is!

 

Farewell Weekend

We soaked up every moment of the two days we got to spend with Weston's parents before they left on their mission. We will miss being able to spend holidays and long weekends with them. Mom Pratt always makes everything so special, especially for her grandchildren.  They are going to miss her so much. Leo bonded with grandpa this trip and got to enjoy lots of playtime and snuggles with him. We know they are going to be amazing missionaries in Mexico City, and we can't wait to hear about their experiences. 

Palo Duro Canyon

Last weekend we went camping at Palo Duro Canyon. It was really fun to get away from Lubbock for a couple days. Emmett and Leo had fun being outside all day. Leo is the best little hiker! Emmett has always been so slow but Leo was

just booking it on the trails. It was adorable. We loved our crockpot dinner and smores and we all slept great in our new sleeping bags and tent. We definitely want to go back again when the weather is cooler.  And next time we will bring packs to carry the boys so we can do some longer hikes. 

Update

October 5, 2015

I still can't believe we're having our third boy in February! We really thought it was going to be a girl this time because my pregnancy has been different. When I found out he's a boy I was surprised, but now I am so excited. Nadine and Cate are also having babies in February, and Andrea is having one in March, so this baby will have some close cousins! I think having three boys this close will be so fun. I hope they will be best buds forever like Wes and his brothers. We love the name Ruby for a girl and Emmett keeps calling the baby Ruby even though we've told him it's a boy. He says no it's a girl baby. So we'll see how he feels about it when he's born! For boy names we like Adam, Danny, and Henry, but we will probably change our minds in the next 20 weeks. We are going to have three kids soon! Crazy. 

Leo is 15 months old now. He had his appointment today and is 23 pounds. He's been walking for a couple months and is starting to say a few things like Emmett and mama. Not that he's understandable or anything! His personality is so fun. He loves to laugh and play with his dad and brother. He loves wrestling! He is always moving. Grandpa Pratt was here a few days ago and he called him a perpetual motion machine, he never stops. He's super wiggly and hard to get changed and dressed. He loves books but he rarely sits through a whole one without grabbing it and walking around with it. He just wants to play all the time. I love him so much! I can't believe my baby is going to be a big brother soon. It's a little sad that he won't be my baby for too much longer. Or maybe he'll always be my baby. 

The Southplains fair is in town and we've been twice already. The boys love the animals and the tractors.  

This past weekend was general conference. On Saturday Emmett went in to his room and brought out a church outfit including vest and cowboy hat and said he needed to wear it and pretend he was going to church. Such a good boy. 

One more thing I need to report is potty training is finally clicking for Emmett! Number one has been going well for a while now but number two not so well. But today he said "oh! I need to go to the potty!" And ran to the bathroom and went poop!! It was a miracle!
