Orchard

We took a trip to a beautiful local orchard today, what a treat. I always forget how much it renews my spirit to spend time in beautiful outdoor surroundings, I just loved it.

6 month Ethan pics

My beautiful happy boy. Ethan offically took his first few crawls 3 days ago, he only does 2 or 3 little shuffles and only once a day, but I'm going with it:)

Brown day

We've officially begun our homeschool preschool, boy what fun, but really what a commitment....anyway....The other day was "Brown Day" for Sam - (for both of them,) I thought I'd give the idea of fingerpainting with pudding a try....hmmm not sure that my riotous laughter was helping to control the situation....not sure Sam knows what the color brown looks like either, but pretty sure they love chocolate pudding:)....and making messes

Some summer pics

I realize ethan looks a bit frightened, but still SOOO cute.
Miss Mia being her silly self with cousin Will:)

Momma and baby in WYO mountains, so great!

Testing testing

Is this thing still on? Boy, we've got a bit of updating to do....nevermind, we'll just jump in where we are. 2 was company, 3's a crowd....for sure;) Our little Ethan arrived in March and I think I'm beginning to adjust to 3....sometimes I think that, then I'll have a week like last week and think I'll have to hire help for the rest of my life;) Still love bein a Momma, it's the very hardest job around. Let's see if we can get some pics on here??.....here we go...uh I guess not, we'll try again later.

A hair pic

I tend to always be the picture taker, not IN the picture, so here's one finally of the short hair - I actually cut it again yesterday, so it's a few inches shorter and thinner. This was at Amelia's big Birthday bash in August:)

Oh Brother - Halloween...a little early.

Our Dorothy and her little dog Toto. We went to Boo at the Zoo to launch our Halloween festivities. One thing Garden City has going for it...tons of activities for children around Halloween, it's a fun time of year. Though Amelia had NO idea who Dorothy was, she mustered quite a bit of excitement about being her:)....so cute. It was funny, when I first told her about Dorothy she was a bit resistive, I thought I could win her over by telling her that Dorothy has a dog and Sam would be her little dog....well that didn't work, she starting crying and said "I don't want to be a dog owner for Halloween". Who would?;)

Sam did not let his candy bucket go during the entire Boo at the Zoo, probably a good 1-2 hours, he would not let go even at the end when it got too heavy for him. He knows where the good stuff is - takes after his mother.
