Pumpkin Carving Time

Halloween snuck up on me this year.  October went by way too fast.  We carved pumpkins Saturday afternoon, thankful for a beautiful day.  We always let the boys draw their design, then Andy carves it.  They had a great time!

I'm Back to blogging!!!!!! (I think)

First Trip to the Farm this Season

We have an amazing "petting farm" here in Overland Park that the kids just LOVE.  When we moved here 5 years ago, it was never busy and was fun, but hadn't lived up to it's full potential.  It is run on donations and contributions only.  In the last  few years, so many wonderful items have been added to the farm.  There is a new Dairy Barn, apple orchard, tractor riding, new playground, the list goes on and on.  Here are the pictures from our amazing trip yesterday.  The weather was perfect and so was the kids' behavior!!!  Both boys caught a fish. Trey grabbed right on to his to release it.  Sam was not touching his, so Trey did it for him. Adler had fun running around like a crazy man and petting the baby pigs.  My favorite was the baby lamb, only days old.  So sweet.  We'll be back to the farm many times through the fall. 

We Are Not Saving for Sam's College Education...

but for the orthodontist.  yikes!

Kaitlyn's 4th Birthday Party

We celebrated Kaitlyn's 4th birthday on Sunday at Nana and Pop's house.  The kids had a great time playing together.  Kaitlyn received a sweet little baby doll, a diaper bag, stroller, pac'n'play, doll clothes and tea set.  What can we say?  It's fun buying girl toys.  And I would like to say for the record: Adler has more than one outfit.  When Andy dresses him for a family get-together this has become the official uniform. We will have 400 pictures of him in this outfit.  

AND these pictures aren't in correct order.  blogspot is a little difficult to manipulate.

Are we in Kansas?

The weather around here has been fabulous.  If this is global warming, I'm all for it.  We headed to the park on Saturday to burn off some energy (the boys, not mine) and had a great time. Here are pictures to prove it.
