Zietz Family Happenings: October 2014

Pumpkins and Firetrucks!

Yesterday we went with Matt & Sarah and William to get some pumpkins and go on a hayride! The boys had a blast checking out all of the different gourds, etc. and riding the tractor. They really liked trying to find the perfect pumpkin, and trying to lift them up!

The fire station had an open house today. The boys had a blast sitting in the trucks and seeing the the firemen and getting free pumpkins and free hats and going down the giant fire truck blow up slide!! Such a fun trip:)

This was the time MAX (of all three) pushed the RED button on the oxygen backpack thing, initiating a piercing alarm sound...aparently it's the "help, I'm trapped somewhere, please come save me" button. Oops!

The gear was so heavy the fireman had to hold Tucker up to keep him from toppling forwards!

Coming Soon...

Baby Zietz #3!

Our new addition is due to arrive late March/early April 2015! Max and I are so excited! The boys on the other hand, are just getting used to it...

Fall

Max and I had a day free a couple of weeks ago so we headed up to UCONN to relive our glory days...maybe his...not mine:) It was really cool to see how different the campus looks since I've been there! And it was a beautiful fall day-the colors were gorgeous!

We took the kids apple picking...they probably would have picked everything there if we let them!

Meet our new fish, Shi-Shu...sometimes called Shu-Shu.

These two are just some super cute boys!

Out for a morning run with Brayden on the trail near our house...it was so pretty!

We are big fans of boxes and stickers in this house...these boxes have already served as leaf collectors, drums, personal crafts, and then monster masks!

Last weekend on a COLD, VERY RAINY Saturday morning I ran my third half marathon in a year. It was freezing but it was a great course and fun run through Hartford. I'm on a break for probably another year from these, but I'm glad I got these few in this last year:)
