Just goofing around

Hi All,

Some other bloggers have been wondering about fall/pumpkin patch pictures... we have been cancelled 3 times because of weather. So we have some fall pictures to share. They just happen to be all indoor pictures.
First, here is Sally after her bee encounter. I pulled the stinger out of her lower leg. She cried almost non stop until Paul came home and magically calmed her down. She has totally recovered, but I learned what a giant wimp she is!
Here are the boys playing a game of 'peek-a-boo' in the cabinet. They were laughing so hard. They really get tickled about things sometimes and it is impossible not to crack up with them.
Here is Aden with his school bus. He is so cute trying to sing along with the 'Wheels on the Bus'. It won't be long and he will be ready for American Idol.
And here is Andrew after Dad 'improved' the slide and made it a whole new toy. Ya think he approves?! That is one big grin.


Well, we have a couple of pumpkins to carve and hopefully a couple more chances for pumpkin patch pictures. We did go on a Parents as Teachers pumpkin patch visit. The boys really liked the trailer ride and Aden liked petting the soft bunny. Bad Mom forgot the camera in the car. It is so hard to get a good picture of them together anyway- I forgive myself!

We're Two!


Aden and Andrew are TWO! What a fun and fast two years it has been. One minute they are big boys and the next still like babies in my arms. We had a fantastic birthday, starting off with Nana Gabli staying with us from Thursday to Tuesday, helping us make birthday cupcakes and getting ready for our busy birthday. We loved our Blue's Clues theme and had pretty much everything blue by the time it was over.


Aden is all smiles getting ready to blow out his candles. Even with no practice he was an old pro!

Andrew was a little shy coming out to blow out his candles, but he did a great job.

We are sending a BIG thank you to all who came and helped us get the privacy fence put up. It is already coming in handy. Like to pen the neighbors mini horses when they come over to visit! Aden even took a little ride, but for some reason we missed this on video! But Andrew saves the day, by telling us a little about horses.

The boys really like to help Dad and Mom. They help Dad work on the tractor and can really work their cordless drills.



What's for dinner, guys?

Here we are at Exploration Place.

We love to check out the exhibits. Here is Aden in the 'Scoop on Poop' outhouse.

Doesn't he look relaxed?

Again a big thanks to all of you who came and helped us celebrate our big 2nd birthday! Also here are some building pics.

A big shout out to U. Robert for the hoop and U. Randall for bringing it to us!

And a random picture of Aden playing in the building. We are looking forward to the next year and all the new adventures it will bring!
