And now for the rest of the story...

So as I said before, we kept our nephews this past weekend (John-Bradley, 2 1/2 and Rushton, 10 months). We met my brother and sister-in-law Friday night in Verbena and took two sleepy boys to our house...

John-Bradley was out!

Look at Rushton's chunky legs...I could just eat them up!

We got them home and put them straight to bed...JB slept with me and Josh slept on the couch with Rushton in his pack-n-play - can I just say that the pack-n-play is totally awesome and we soo will have one of those when the need arises?! Anyway, the next morning Josh comes in to tell me that Rushton is awake and I should probably go ahead and get up. Well, it was still dark outside, so...I went ahead and got up and let JB sleep a little while longer. It was actually just before 6 at this point. I had our morning all planned...The Old Baker Farm in Harpersville! We were going to get a pumpkin and do whatever else they had for us to do there. Before I go any further though, here are a few pics of Rushton from Saturday morning...

Rushton getting love from Max...

Isn't he precious??

He loves, loves, loves the dogs!

Ok, so Josh goes to get breakfast...McDonalds breakfast! After we ate, we all got ready and headed to the pumpkin patch. It was a little chilly Saturday morning, so we had the boys bundled up...

Sweet Rushton...

We got in to the farm and started walking around. By this time, it was 9:30 and already pretty packed. There were vendors selling all kinds of things. The first stop we made was to go and see the farm animals. JB got to pet a baby goat that was soo cute! I tried to get a picture but there were several kids up there at the same time. Next, we headed over to the pile of hay...that's just what it was, a pile of hay! John-Bradley loved it though!!

He probably played on/in the hay for 45 minutes or more!

After he played in the hay, he decided it was time to ride the horse! This boy is fearless!!!

He was a natural on Queenie (the horse)...He wanted to keep riding!

We finally left around noon and came back home to feed the boys and settle in for the 2:30 Alabama/Tennessee game...

Rushton says..."FEED ME"!!

Check out the hair...

John-Bradley making his Uncle Josh proud by watching the game :o)

As you know, Alabama won, but it was mighty scary there at the end. Once Mt. Cody blocked that field goal, Josh jumped up and screamed, hit the wall with his hand in excitement and then...we heard the cry of one scared baby! HA! John-Bradley assured Rushton that "Uncle Josh isn't mad...he happy!"

After bath time...

So Saturday afternoon, Rushton did not take a nap. Later in the evening, I noticed how warm he felt. Apparently, he was teething. He didn't feel good at all! After putting him to bed, he would begin to cry any time his paci fell out, so I got up and decided to hold him until he fell asleep. Well, that rarely happened. He maybe slept 2 hours that night...and Aunt Mae? Maybe 20 minutes :o) It was crazy though, I didn't feel the least bit tired. I think I was running on adrenaline!

The three amigos watching Alvin and the Chipmunks for the 6th time!!!

Saturday morning...You never would have known how bad that baby felt by the smile on his face!

John-Bradley said he had lots of fun with Uncle Josh and Aunt Mae!!

And this is what they looked like on the way back to their NEW Home! Yes, my brother and sister-in-law bought a house (I thought this would be the best weekend to keep them since they were moving in :o)

He was finally catching some zzzz's...

We love you boys and can't wait for you to spend the weekend with us again!!

And yes, Josh and I STILL want children, ha!!
