Over the weekend, we took advantage of the nice weather and took Jude through his second corn maze!  This time he was awake for the entire maze!!  

After the maze we went into the barn where we enjoyed a cup of hot apple cider (Jude of course was eyeing it up!).  Delicious!!  (Maybe next year Jude!)  

Jude then had a fun time exploring....

...and of course running (or so he tried)!

Driving the little fire truck....

Of course he only has his permit so he had to be accompanied by an adult!  (haha)!

He only sat here a second before he thought, "hey I have things to do!  Excuse me..."

...and off he went!!

He found a bin of balls...Aaron has taught him how to throw one, and he does really well.  In fact sometimes he will put his hands out like he is going to try and catch it!  He is picking up on things so quickly!!

Today Jude and I went over to Uncle Bobs' farm.  He hasn't seen Jude for months and he has been wanting me to bring him over to see the cows!  

Jude just enjoyed playing in the leaves until Uncle Bob was ready for him.....

Uncle Bob took Jude for a little spin in the yard on the four wheeler!  Jude wasn't so sure what to think...about Uncle Bob or the four wheeler...haha

Uncle Bob really enjoyed showing him around....

no tears....yet (haha)

Something about this atmosphere that takes me "home" (along with the smell)...lol

Next we visited the cows.....

And then someone decided that it would be more fun to dig in the dirt and throw stones....typical boy!  

Oh, and he has to get that thumb in at some point...!!

I sat Jude up on the hay bales and he liked crawling around....the backdrop in this picture was so beautiful!

There's Farmer Jude for ya.....holes in the jeans, flannel shirt, boots, and of course a little dirt (at least we hope it's only dirt....haha)!  You never know on a farm...

And finally I mentioned on facebook today that I started taking Jude's one year pictures!  I know it's a bit early but I had to take advantage of the weather.....for all I know it will be snowing next week!  Anyway, I can't share all of them (especially my favorites)... but I will give a sneak preview to those of you that can't wait.  Trust me, it's hard for me to not post all this cuteness....(but hopefully it will get you through the next few weeks!)

So are you ready for more??
