This amazing little boy of mine turns three today. Lots of different emotions running through me mostly love and appreciation for everything he has taught me. He teaches me patience daily and to live life to the fullest. From the moment he wakes in the morning we are going, going, and going some more. He is a busy little boy so full of life, just like his daddy. I am amazed at the love I feel for him and the joy he brings into our small little family. He is very attentive to other peoples feelings. If me or Kyle get hurt he will repeatedly ask "Mom you feel better" he asked Grandpa this the other day after he learned that Grandpa's back was hurting him. He loves anything that has to do with two wheels and any and every kind of sport. Most of all he loves his little brother Oliver.
Knowledge
We went and visited Grandpa and Grandma Ballard this evening. Grandma Ballard turned 82 today. I love visiting with them. I asked her what her favorite birthday year so far has been and she said I can tell you which one wasn't. She said on her 9th or 10th birthday her teacher got mad at her and made her stay after school. She paused for a minute and said it was probably Mrs. Robinson, I never liked her. I asked her what she could have done to make her teacher angry and she said I probably talked too much. We both laughed. I realized that is where Kyle gets it. Kyle can talk and talk and talk, a trait I wish I had. Sure I can talk but he can talk to anyone about anything.
Gus turns 3 on Tuesday and Grandpa was asking him about it. Gus can tell you his birthday is November 12th, it sounds more like nomber 12. He will also tell you he is turing free (3). Grandpa proceeded to tell him that when he was 3 he lived out on the ranch in Cane Beds. His parents were homesteading out there. Gus loves the ranch so he thought that was pretty neat. Grandpa always tells Gus that he is his best cowboy and thanks for helping the cowboys out at the ranch.
We gained a lot of knowledge today in the 30 short minutes we were at Grandpa and Grandma's house. We have made it a point to go and visit them more frequently as of late, and every time we leave we say we were glad we stopped. We often don't take the time and find it kind of a hassle to go and visit but every time we do I am glad we went and thankful for the knowledge they gave us.

The end of October
The end of October was filled with a 1920's Halloween party, a trip to the ranch, carving pumpkins, Nicholas' birthday, FHE at the track to see if Danny really could do a lap around the track in 1 minute, dinner with Gus' girlfriend Macy and her parents, a trip to the grandparents on Halloween to show them how cute the aviators looked and of course we ended October with Halloween at my moms with the nieces and nephews. We always go to Roy's house he loves to see Gus and Oliver and he gives the best treats on Halloween. He gave each boy a box of cereal, a full sized candy bar, and a capri sun. Gus loved his costume this year, he still does actually. Halloween day is full of stress for me, I usually wait until the very last minute to do my costume. I spray painted those orange sticks as Kyle was loading the boys in the car. I was going to go as Amelia Earhart but lack of planning on my part left me with no Amelia costume. Our pumpkins are kinda laughable now that I look at them in picture form. We didn't get the pumpkin carving skill as you can see. I love Halloween and I don't know why. I think I get it from my mom she dresses up every year. This year she was peter pan, she has a huge trunk in her basement full of costumes plus two or three tupperwares full.
