BRRRRRRR!

We had our first snow here today. It only lasted about 30 minutes and was really just blowing around. None the less, it was cold and seems to be the start of winter. Hopefully we will have a few more warm fall days before the real winter weather hits!

Happy Birthday Baby!

This past week we celebrated C's first birthday. What fun! She hated her cake but loved the chicken taquitos I made. Here are some photos from her celebrations. There are a few from her party and a few from her actual birthday. She loved her new baby doll the most!

My Big Brother

C sure loves her big brother and he adores her right back. Some of our biggest smiles come when A gets home from school each day. He is certainly missed during the day. I caught a few priceless giggles and smiles on camera the other day. Enjoy!

Happy Fall!

Today we decided to take another fall adventure and went to a big Pumpkin Patch. This was C's first real trip there so we were not sure what to expect. After her little introduction to pumpkins a few weeks ago, we were hoping for a better day. Unfortunately, she seems to be scared to death of those big orange things. She loves to drum on things so we tried to get her to pretend they were drums but we did not have much luck. We still picked our pumpkins, fed the goats, ate caramel apples, and enjoyed the beautiful fall day. At least A and M had a great time. Their favorite event may have been trying to pull the wagon filled with all the pumpkins and their sister. It was seriously hard work - especially up the gravel hill! Maybe next year we will get a few smiles from C when there are pumpkins around!

A Fall Day up North

Last weekend we went up North to enjoy the fall festivities. We spent a little time at a pumpkin patch. As you can see, C was not too thrilled with her introduction to pumpkins. Maybe they will grow on her... We spent the rest of the afternoon just playing around by the water and enjoying the day. The kids love to run around and enjoy watching all the boats too. Of course a day trip like this would not be complete without some ice cream. Another fun weekend day!
