AuTuMn Is HERE!

Last weekend we visited the pumpkin patch! It was a beautiful day and the kids had tons of fun. Missy, Pat on Connor also came! Hard to believe that fall is here already! Hunter will be 1 in a couple of weeks! He now waves 'bye bye' and occassionaly says 'bye'! Kyra is working on writing her name - but I think she is concentrated more on her upcoming birthday! We are having a Halloween barn party! I am praying that it isn't snowing by then!Kyra the apple farmer!
Digging in the corn!
Kyra even practiced swimming in the corn!
Yes-we found corn in the diaper that afternoon!
I think we need to have one of these at home!
Kyra playing duck races with Daddy-she even won a couple of times!

WEEEEEEE! Kyra is finally big enough to ride the big tricycles! Last year her feet did not reach the pedals!

Hunter has been walking like a pro now! He even attempts running!

AUGUST TRIP TO THE CABIN!

The kids and I decided to make a quick trip to Minnesota in August for a few days! We were able to enjoy some warm weather and we could not keep Kyra out of the water. One day we visited Lake Superior with Grandma and Grampsy to go rock hunting for my jewelry making! We thoroughly enjoyed our time and can't wait to go back next summer!

1st ANNUAL UNICORN FESTIVAL!

We held our very own 'Unicorn Festival'! Kyra wanted to go to a unicorn festival, so we made our very own festival! Silver magically turned into a unicorn! We were so lucky to have some of the girls at our unicorn festival. Kyra had a blast! Even Hunter sat on Silver for the very 1st time!! However, I don't think he will be into the horses:)
The amazing jumping Happy!

LILY BIG UNICORN FLOWER

Cousin Connor and Auntie Missy came to the festival!

Hunter started taking his first steps by himself this week! He made it about four feet at one time! We are all very excited, but not as excited as him!

LILY BIG UNICORN FLOWER

We visited the local pet shelter last weekend and found MANY dogs and cats looking for homes. We found a black and white puppy that we all fell for! Needless to say we drove home with this 6month old puppy. Kyra proudly named her LILY BIG UNICORN FLOWER. We are calling her LILY for short. She has fit in right away. Lily has not messed in the house and she sleeps all night. Most importantly she LOVES to play with Kyra!
