Keepin up with the Krzyzaies: October 2009

Jaxson an unwilling photography subject

I spent the better part of yesterday morning chasing him around the back yard trying to get a few good fall pictures before Tim mowed all of the leaves up.
Ever try taking a picture of a moving target? It is NOT easy!
I feel I did get a few good ones in but it took a lot to them. :)

This is the child taking off, cackling the entire way :)

He saw Tim mowing the lawn and was shocked to see him outside as well.

and just a tree on our street. Of course with the wind and rain it is a bunch of sticks today.

I'm playing with the idea of starting a blog for just my photography so that way people who want to only see the kids pictures won't be bothered by everything else and then I can share pictures with people who don't need to see the family stuff. I will post a new link if and when I have it up and running.

Halloween Festivities

We carved our pumpkins last night. We let Hayden have artistic freedom on his pumpkin this year. He even carved it himself.

Jax we opted for the safer activity, although he did try to eat the paint and realized yellow is not a good flavor. :) LOL

His pumpkin was so gooped with paint that 24 hours later its STILL not dry :)

Mommy taking her turn

You can see he was very careful with his carving.... one handed and tongue out

The family with our finished product.

They both turned out pretty good for freehand designs.

Jax was enchanted with the pumpkins all lit up.

Pumpkin picture

All I wanted when we got home was a nice picture of the boys and their pumpkins... well Hayden had to go and grab Jax's pumpkin from his hands. Jax didn't think too highly of that!!
Go ahead and click on the picture to make it bigger to see the looks on their faces.

Now that you are done laughing here is the nice picture after we calmed the tempers. :)

Pumpkin Time

We grabbed the kids and hit the pumpkin farm on one of the non rainy days...

The boys really loved it and I even got a few nice pictures in.

Jaxson was singing here, hence the hand signs. :)

Hayden surprised us by wanting to go into the Haunted House. This look was after he saw the witch pop out of the window...

Jaxson saw the witch too

Here's the before going in the house

and here's the after. I know its hard to see that is a crying screaming boy walking in front of his laughing Mama :-) LOL He hated it once inside... but for the price of those tickets we were walking through the house!

Boys riding the horses... Jax liked it 2 times around then wanted off but when we tried to leave he was waving and telling the bye-bye.

and of course we couldn't leave without our cider doughnut.

New Uniform

Hayden showing off his new uniform. It's a little big at the moment but that just means he has a lot of growing room.

and this is the picture.... "please mom stop taking pictures now"

Hayden's Family Party

Was a good time as always... even if I do run around like a mad woman for days before hand :)
Here is Traci and I... friends for over 20 years.

Jaxson with his Auntie Sabrina.

Greg helping out Jax open up his little surprise.

Uncle John and Aunt Amanda knew just what he likes... look closely at the shirt he's wearing :)

The famous new uniform. Hayden has wanted one of these uniforms forever but we wanted to make sure he was ready to continue. Grammy and Pa happily supplied his with his wish. Do you think he's excited?
