Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we decided to break down and take the kids to the pumpkin patch. It was crazy windy so we didn't stay very long. It was painful trying to get good pictures...the kids were not really in the mood (except for Madison who wanted to pose for every shot and "Pumpking Patch smile" so all of her pictures she has her mouth in some silly position that looks nothing like a smile.)
Eli was happy to climb from pumpkin to pumpkin and Lillie just pretty much slept throught the whole big event.



We going to have to work out the picture taking kinks before Halloween actually gets here.

Zoo Pals

Last week we took our little "village" of friends to the zoo. We had so much fun!! It is amazing though that the most exciting moment was when the older kids found a caterpillar on the ground. Surprisingly, Madison was the first one to let it crawl on her finger...she is braver than me!

Eli's favorite exhibit was the penguins...I tried to get him to waddle but he looked at me like I was crazy and ran off to watch the water spray into the air at the sea lions area.



Madison just enjoys her friends...as you can see. It was so cute to see the three girls in the wagon and their handsome little prince, Corbett walking along side watching their every move. We love our moments together and thank God for such amazing friends to walk this journey with us.

Bebe Pod

We have a new toy that we have just recently begun using. Lillie loves to feel like a part of the hussle and bussle around the house but it is hard when you are still such a little baby. So, we have started putting Lillie in whatever room we are in sitting in her little Bebe Pod. She often serves as the center piece at dinner time...occasionally making it difficult to concentrate on eating instead of cute little...or not so little....grin.

Picnic Fun

Wednesday night we decided to go on a family picnic. Luckily the whole family was able to come.....Granny, Grumpy, Aunt Hannah, Uncle Rick, Aunt Barb and even cousin Jarred. We had so fun much eating, swinging and running around. Hopefully this can become a new family tradition.
