A Visit to the Pumpkin Patch...Lots of Fall Photos!

Ok, so I went a little overboard on the photos from our trip to the pumpkin patch on Sunday! :) We had a great time & the weather was beautiful!

She is a really happy baby...clearly!

Brady had fun climbing through all the hay bale playhouses! This one was a huge ship~he's in the hull here!

This is her latest face~a crinkled nose that began appearing last weekend! :)

She's got clapping down to a science now!

Soooo Big!

I loved this sequence of photos~Daddy with his little girl

Wagon ride to the pumpkin patch

Brady got to pick out both his & Livvy's pumpkins~hers was small, of course! :)

Brady & I got to watch our apple cider be made~he thought that was pretty cool & it tasted REALLY good

A GREAT Week

Well, despite the record-breaking cold weather & snow (after a record-breaking HOT September) we had such a fun week last week! Brady started his "Sports Bugs" at the Ridge which is our rec center~it's from 9:30-11 Mondays & Wednesdays & he LOVES it! It's the first class that's not Mommy & Me so that's pretty exciting! He gets to bring his backpack & they play in the gym then head to the swimming pool for a bit. It's for kids 3-5 so he's a little young, but it's a great chance for him to play with other kids & get some exercise in the winter! I spied on him for a bit & it just melted my heart~he was so excited & did a great job listening to Miss Deanne! :)

We also went to Babies & Books for the first time with Livvy & she loved that! Nana came with us & it was her first time so that was really fun too.

Livvy turned 7 months old last week & boy she is such a joy to our family! She is starting to wave, clap her hands, dance & REALLY wants to crawl, which means she is scooting backwards all the time!

We had our good buddies, Ben & Jane over for an all-day play date on Friday & the kids had an awesome time together! It was a little busy at times with 4 kids under the age of 4, but they were all so well-behaved & played GREAT together.

On Saturday, we took the kids to the Homecoming parade & although it was freezing cold, managed to get a ton of candy for Brady! We then took the kids to the tailgate for the game, then Nana took them home because it was so frigid. I was able to watch the 'Cats baby-free so that was pretty exciting! :)

All in all, what a fun week!

Brady headed to Sports Bugs the first day

A couple of videos~my cousin Marlo's kids are in the same class on Wednesday so that is very fun!

Here are my little munchkins at Babies & Books

Nana & Liv



Reading with Nana afterwards in the children's section

Here are some great ones from Friday with Ben & Jane!

Jane loves to help me with Olivia

Movie time with Popcorn! I love Ben's expression here~a little annoyed with all the pictures!

Breakfast!

Here we are at the parade! Nana & Papa took us because Daddy had to help set up the tailgate

Livvy was so annoyed with me...she doesn't like getting all bundled!

A couple of cute videos of Livvy

Football Fire Up Party!

We co-hosted a super fun football season kickoff party in September for a bunch of our friends at my parents' house! The weather was absolutely perfect & the kids were able to enjoy the bouncy house! We also had many cold refreshments, Baggo games & river side bonfire for the adults! It was so much fun to get together & get fired up for football! Thank goodness we didn't wait until October because we've had several inches of snow this week!!

Brady & Elsye giving each other a hug hello!

oh boy!

Paige & Godfrey (her dad) & Tahlia (hiding/eating)

This is dark, but there is the Baggo crew, bouncy house & tiki torches leading to the river!

I kept accidently taking pictures when Joe Johnson was throwing his bag...thought he was going to lose it! :)

Brady & Ben~aren't they cute!!??

The kiddos & I~this picture cracks me up!

This is from earlier~my dad & I took the kids on a scavenger hunt on their property! Brady showing some of his finds.

Vintage Daws Kids & Mom

Our Swiss relatives sent this picture last week of us kids & mom up at Hyalite during our family reunion circa 1987! We are thinking EJ is almost exactly the same age as Brady is now! How cute is my mom? How high are my shorts? How blond are we??!!

Cute Little Liv

A couple of videos of Livvy!

Jeff was sneaking behind the couch in this one

She has been getting a huge kick out of her dolly that Brady gave her when she was born...also important to note her little eggbeater arms & legs~it's her signature move lately! :)

Last Golf Outing

We took the kids golfing for the last time of the season & had a great time. We'll see how different things are next summer when BOTH kids are walking around! Could be interesting! :)

Two peas in a pod!

This was hilarious~he really wanted to run behind the cart...I'm sure it looked a little odd, but he was LOVING it! :)
