Family PICs 2011

So its my goal that every year I get a professional family picture. I wasn't too excited to do it this year since I felt like a HUGE blimp... But I'm glad that I did them. We had lots of fun, and I cant believe that the kids actually cooperated. Thank you so much to Brad Myers... he did an amazing job. I have him booked already for baby 3s big debut pictures

Pumpkin Patch

Took the kids to a fun pumpkin patch in the country. The kids would have stayed there for hours if we would have let them. It was so fun and the weather was just perfect

No scary costumes here, Sophie insisted on wearing her "Princess" shirt and of course we couldn't leave the house without Dylan and his Thomas shirt

The pumpkin patch was on a working farm so we got to see lots of fun animals

A little scared of the donkey

But when they saw the "big kids" petting the donkey..it was OK then

Time for a hay ride!

Mom and twin time

dad and twin time

THE BEST attraction.....a run down old tractor
Dylan said....like BOB BUILDER!!

here Sophie this is how you do it

time to find the needle in the haystack!

At the very end you get to pick out your very own pumpkin

I'm exhausted from all this fun!!

Sugar Sugar and more SUGAR

I have been trying to come up with some family traditions that we can do every year. So for Halloween instead of just plain old pumpkin carving, I wanted to incorporate cookie decorating.
Look at the mess that we got into

Dylan and Sophie carefully mixing all of the ingredients

yummy smells good!!

Time to press out the pumpkin shapes

They weren't very patient ..... cook cookies cook! they kept saying

Now for the fun...ICING

Dylan couldn't wait, he had to have a bite




He is very impressed with his creation

I will let you be the judge.....Who is the winner of the 2011 Halloween cookie decorating contest

I guess it really doesn't matter...they are just excited that their bellies are FILLED with sugar

Celebration time

Since we have gone to school we have made lots of new friends. There is even another set of boy/girl twins in our class(Wyatt and Avery). They turned 2 this week and we got to help them celebrate at their party.

It was a carnival theme...we had so much fun

not so sure of the clown

Sophie getting a fun tattoo

Dylan was admiring all of the fun presents Wyatt and Avery got.

Wyatt and Avery's mom took alot more pictures, she said she will get them to me soon.
We had so much fun. Happy 2nd birthday Wyatt and Avery!
