Jack and Avree at the pumpkin patch

This past week, Jack and I visited Matt and Brittany in Kansas City. (I think Brittany wanted the company while she is anxiously awaiting the arrival of baby #2 (due on 9/26). We took Avree and Jack to a pumpkin patch on Tuesday night and they had a great time. There weren't too many people at the pumpkin patch that night, so we practically had the entire place to ourselves. Jack and Avree had fun seeing all the animals, playing on the different toys, walking through the corn maze, and riding in the tractor wagon. I think Jack's favorite part watching the maintenance guy drive the gator around. He has become obsessed with gators ever since riding on his cousin Joe's toy gator. (I guess I know what is going on his Christmas list!)

He spotted the gator from a mile away and then had tunnel vision!

Jack's busy summer

"Mommy and Daddy have kept me so busy this summer!"

"I have been busy mowing the yard..."

"...taking girls out on dates in my new car..."
"...digging a hole for the pool..."

"...and driving the boat at the lake with Uncle Brian."

"And just when I think I can't get any busier, Mommy tells me I will have to help out with the new baby next April!"

Go Hawkeyes!!

The Johnson family is excited for the 2010 football season!! This is one of our favorite times of the year. We are hoping for great seasons for the Hawkeyes and the Vikings!!
