Pumpkin Patch

Going to the pumpkin patch is one of our favorite things.

Playing among the pumpkins,

Feeding the animals,

finding our way through the corn maze,

and hitching a ride in the wheelbarrow 

with our chosen pumpkins out to the car.

Tim's Birthday

So this is our little family celebration we had for Tim.

Madilyn and Andrew helped with the cake ...

and the candles!

Tim actually had a surprise party the night before but there are no pictures because I wasn't there-he had a guys only, X-Box night.  A friend of ours set up three systems throughout his house and Halo was the game of choice.  Happy Birthday Tim!

Eliza's Blessing Day

This is the dress Grandma Sherrie made.  

Believe it or not, she was even happier once the dress finally came off.

It's fun to get dressed up but I think every girl wants something comfy

 once the main event is over. 

Andrew Loves Wall E

Here's a picture of Andrew's birthday cake.  He loved putting the "rocks" on.

Andrew's Birthday Bash!!!

Today I asked Andrew how he got so big and he said, "Because I blew the candles off my birthday cake."  I love how kids' minds work.

Here are some pics of his special day.

The festivities started with everyone decorating bags that they would use to catch all their goodies from the pinata...

and enjoying some time on the swing set.

Dennis and Connie and my mom, Sherrie all flew in for the festivities.

What kid doesn't love a pinata?

Bring on the cake!

Happy Birthday Andrew!

Getting Ready To Party!

Here are my cute little helpers.  This is one chore they both kind of like.  (Hopefully this lasts awhile.)

Madilyn is such a good problem solver.  She should grow up to be an inventor.  She was blowing balloons up for Andrew's party and decided the bike pump would probably work better.  It worked amazingly and Andrew could help too.  What a smarty pants!  

It's Hard Work Being This Cute

Normally Eliza loves her bath but she was having an off day.

But even her feet turn out so cute.

(Thanks Aunt Heather & Uncle Jer for the pretty shoes.)

Mommy calls these my sherbet jammies.
