We are in trouble now!!!

We now have two children that are on the move! Here is a video of Whitney crawling. I apologize if it makes you dizzy. I had to keep moving back so the video bounces around alot.

10 Months

Whitney at 10 months old! She has had a very big month. She got her first 2 teeth (the 2 bottom center ones), started crawling, climbing stairs, clapping, and waving bye bye. A video of her crawling will follow.

Booya

The first weekend in October my parents came for Booya. Booya is an annual event that my Aunt Jeanie and Uncle Tom host at their house. They have a big pot of Booya (like stew), a keg, and a huge bonfire. It is an event that I have been going to every year now since I moved to MN.

My aunt had a bunch of gords and pumpkins which made a great place for a photo shoot of the kids. Of course I would have loved to of gotten a family picture or a picture of both kids together, but of course that didn't happen.

Apple Picking Time!

We went to an apple orchard today with the Sagers. We went apple picking, through a corn maze, climbed on a train, went on a hay ride, and listened to live music. It was a great day!!

"My apple is good, how is yours?"

Grape Stomping

Yesterday we went with Ryan and Lorelei to a local winery for their annual grape stomping event. Elliot was so excited to stomp on the grapes, but when it was his turn his excitement quickly faded. It took lots of convincing to get him to put his feet in the bucket.

Ok so maybe it isn't so bad
Elliot's favorite thing at the winery was the fountain with the fish.

This was the best picture we were able to get. It is not the best, but it is hard to get both kids to look up at the same time.

Colorado Trip

I apologize for the lack of blogging. I had a virus on my computer and it was in the shop for about 2-3 weeks. Now that I have it back I have lots of blogging to get caught up on.

The first week in August Grant, the kids, and I drove to Denver, CO. Grant built an addition on Jenny and Doug's garage. To see pictures of the garage project go to www.honeymoonbaby.blogspot.com.

Here is Elliot on the drive to CO. The kids were unbelieveable travelers. We made the 17 hour trek in one day.

The kids enjoying the sprinkler in the driveway. Jenny's nephew, Nathan, came over to play that day. Whitney liked watching the sprinkler action from a far.

Elliot napping in the papazan chair. Elliot loved this chair and just had to nap in it one day.

Whitney and James playing togehter.

This picture is for Elliot. Seeing the mountains was one of the highlights of his trip. One afternoon Doug took us to Golden, CO so Elliot could get a closer look at the mountains. There is a river that runs through the town. The kids enjoyed wading in the river.

Doug and James

On our way home from CO we drove through the Black Hills and spent the night there. We have decided to go back next summer with Gavin.
