Corn Maze

We finally had a nice-enough day to go to the corn maze. The theme this year was pirates. We "ran" around wildly through the pirate ship maze (well only Elijah ran wildly, the rest of us were just trying to keep up!) We let Elijah chose which way to go and when we got good and lost Jon took out the map and led us to the exit. Elijah tripped once and face-planted in the mud, but he was okay and kept going.

One of our favorite parts of the corn maze is the corn pit that they have. Kids and adults love to jump in and roll around. The kids run around in it while the adults struggle with every step to keep from sinking. It can be rather exhausting! I have found that the best way for an adult to get out is to either roll or crawl.


Evan was a little crabby before we went in, but the minute he touched the corn he was happy! We had to keep him from eating it though!

Elijah could not get enough of it, he thought it was so fun!

Jon and I could not resist the fun.


We were all finding corn in all parts of clothes! We still have random corn kernels showing up in our car and house. I didn't take off Evan's soft leather shoe until bedtime and I found 15 kernels in one shoe alone! poor Evan!

One last photo-op before we left.

It sure is hard to get them both smiling at the same time!

Happy (belated) Birthday Evan!

Evan's 1st birthday was last Thursday, on the 15th. We have been so busy that I almost forgot to do a birthday post for him. I can not believe that he is already 1 year old! This year has flown by so fast!

Evan, just minutes old

Evan entered this world screaming and we were so excited to see him!

He soon became our quiet, laid-back baby.

Evan has been such a delightful baby. He has such a soft, gentle nature, but he knows how to hold his own when his big brother picks on him! He has always had such a serious face, but his smile will light up the room.

Cake is yummy, and messy!

Evan, we love you! You add so much joy to our lives! We cannot wait for the exciting times to come!
Love, Mommy & Daddy
