Big 2 Year Old

Whitney's 2nd birthday. We celebrated Whitney's birthday on the 5th. My parents and Grant were both here that weekend. Whitney had a great day and made a haul! She got lots of new clothes and decided to try them on, so you will see several different outfits. We went to Elliot's Christmas Program before her party, so she was all dressed up in this 1st picture. She even let me curl her hair that morning!

Whitney could have done without lighting the candle.

Mmmmm delicious!

Whitney's already to go fishing at the lake with her new Dora fishing pole from Grandpa Todd

Yeehaw!

Our Little Lamb

Elliot had his first Sunday school Christmas program last Sunday. It was a wonderful program and Elliot did a great job! I was such a proud mom.

Lorelei's Baby Shower

Danielle (Lorelei's sister) and I threw a shower for Lorelei last Saturday. They got lots of great gifts.

We had virgin mimosas
Whitney enjoyed handing Lorelei her presents.

First Snow Fall of the Year

Better Late then Never!

Finally getting Halloween pictures posted in December! We went trick or treating with the Sagers. The kids had lots of fun and got their sugar high!

My Little Singers

Elliot and Whitney love to sing. Lately they have been wanting me to video them so they can watch themselves. They can sing much better performing in only there underwear. They crack me up!

Baby Bumble Bee

Colorado

Over MEA weekend Whitney and I flew to Colorado to see Jenny and her kids. We had to meet baby Charlie! I didn't have my camera with me most of the weekend (long story) so I didn't get very many pictures, but I did get some cute ones from the Pumpkin Patch. We had a great visit! It was a nice and relaxing weekend.

Jenny, James, and Charlie

Picking the right pumpkin takes a lot of thinking

I found the perfect one!

Fall Fun

We spent a weekend in October at the lake. The kids had fun cleaning the paddle boat, raking and jumping in the leaves, and playing on the logs. There was a bad storm that took down several trees, so we had lots of wood that was cut up.

Ready Set Jump!

Apple Orchard

We took the kids to Applejacks Apple Orchard. There was lots of fun things for them to do. We weren't able to go apple picking this year because of a spring frost, but we still had fun.

Driving the train
Climbing up to the top of the hay bails. There was a slide at the top.
Taking a rest

Watching the chickens. There buddy Jack found out the hard way to not stick your finger through the holes.

Riding the ponies. Both Elliot and Whitney thought that was great!

Painting Pumpkins

I finally have a computer again! Now I can get caught up on my blogging. I have lots of pictures to post from October until now, so stay tuned for more updates.

The kids painted little pumpkins. Elliot was so excited to get to wear one of daddy's work shirts. I think that may have been a bigger deal then painting the pumpkins! :-)
