Ashton at 4 years old, Tim at 15 months

We had the pleasure (sarcasm) of having a combined pediatrician visit for Ashton's 4 year old and Tim's 15 month well baby visit.

Ashton at 4 years
36.5 pounds and 40.25 inches which is right about the 50th percentile for his age
He had the pleasure of receiving all of his vaccinations required for kindergarten, four total shots plus the flu mist.

Tim at 15 months
23 pounds, 9 ounces and 32 inches is about the 50th for weight and 75th percentiled for height
Tim got one shot plus the flu shot

Violet was lucky enough to escape with just the flu mist!

All in all, six shots and two flu mists with minimum drama. Thankfully Ashton handled his shots with minimal crying. Aston and Tim were rewarded with lollipops, from mom and violet got a sticker since she didn't get any shots.

Ashton picks his pumpkin

We finally took the kids to the pumpkin patch last weekend. We went out to Simonian farms. We looked around the pumpkins, Ashton and Dad went through the haunted caboose and few times, and we played in their saloon area. Ashton had fun with the shooting game that was quite extensive. Each time he hit the bulls-eye, the game would interact. Such as the car would move, the bird would move, etc. It was fun!

We've Been Boo'ed!

My friend told me that she had been "boo'ed." So I decided to try to start "boo'ing" in our neighborhood. Unfortunately, their Halloween spirit has yet to spread. I found the most decorated houses in the neighborhood, but they still haven't passed along the spirit. Boo on them! Anyways, we had most of the treats. I bought the bags and tossed on some early purchased Halloween candy and everything else we had! I hope they pass it on soon! Ashton and I had fun taping the signs on their door and leaving a special treat for them to enjoy!

Tim's words

Mama
Dada
Hi
Bye-bye
Ah-done
Ta-tu (it took me awhile to realize what he was saying)
Hot (a favorite)

Dog-dog (another favorite)

Ashton's "Project" Day

Ashton keeps asking for projects to do! Preschool has been doing a number on him! We finally went to Michael's and he picked one out. We, and by we I mean, I wasn't very successful at it.

This is what it was supposed to be... a haunted gingerbread house

Ad libbing the rest of the house

Since the sides kept falling off and the house came crashing down, this is what survived!

Tim at the Park

More park days gave me another attempt to capture Tim for his "1 year" pics despite him now being close to 15 months! Sheesh! Poor third child syndrome. But I'm trying! I just can't seem to get that picture of him standing up that is adorable!

Overexposed but oh such a cute shot!

Silly kiddo

Probably the cutest one

Playing in the water

All of a sudden he's attached to this blanket. Oh so gross when he drags it around the park!
