apple picking

We were invited to go apple picking with our fantastic friends. Brett and I had never been, which means our kids had never been either, so we were super pumped to go. Here, Ethan lends a holding hand to Graham in the parking lot. Ethan is Graham's older brother from another mother. 

Graham picking his first apple!

I had no idea what to expect when I saw an apple tree, but here it is. 

And, up close. 

On the tractor, we got a quick snapshot of the 3 of us. Graham was with the older boys. I wore Bennett around the orchard.

Apples!

Julia helping Graham climb a ladder. He wanted to keep going, but she wasn't that tall!

We took home a lot of leave attached to the apples. 

All the boys on the tractor. It was hard to get all of the them to pay attention. 

Julia and Sarah and Bennett. She is an amazing friend. 

After apple picking, the boys played in the hay and the adults ate cider donuts (best donuts ever!!)

They made a tractor and filled it in with hay, which Graham threw all over the place. 

Harvey and Bennett. They could be related with their short hair!

Graham throwing hay in the air. Sorry Ashton!

This kid was covered in hay, it was crazy.

On the way out to the car, Graham walked with Harvey. 

And Julia got to hold Bennett. Our kids are so comfortable with everyone in there family. We had a great time!

Couch sitting

Bennett sitting all big on the couch. And his brother helped make him smile. 

Jammie mismatch

Yes we let him pick out his jammies and yes the more they don't match the better. It makes him even cuter! 

Up close Bennett

Foot out

It seems both boys follow me in having a foot out to sleep. Graham does it and so does Bennett.

Driving his own way

Sometimes, this is the best way to roll through the grocery store. Can't wait to see how he really drives!

Talking with Gigi

Graham and Gigi sharing some special time together. Once he starts talking, it's hard to get a word in. These two share a special bond together.

Graham hair cut and faces

We had to cut Graham's hair ourselves, so it isn't perfect but you can see that beautiful face again. These are from a few weeks ago, so it has grown out a bit. 

Together

The boys sharing space on the Mickey couch. Graham is showing off the Dusty plane Gigi and Papa brought. He loves this plane.

Graham asked to hold Bennett. So we went with it.

Bennett had gotten Graham in the nose, Graham always think it's funny.

The super good picture after about 50 others.

They both are smiling in their own ways.

Back to separate space on the couch.

Bennett loves to watch Graham. The moments they share are becoming more frequent and funnier. I love these boys !! 

Airplane

When you come to visit and we pick you up at the airport, you actually travel on this tiny US Airways plane we have. Graham holds the plane all day until we see you, and he brings it with us on our way to the airport. Gigi and papa were on this particular plane. I hope they don't get motion sickness, Graham is a crazy pilot. And yes, his shirt says boy genius. Since he is brilliant it is about time we recognize it. I also got one for Bennett. My kids are crazy but they are brilliant as well!
