KYRA'S HALLOWEEN BIRTHDAY BASH!

The birthday princess Kyra in her beautiful princess costume made by Grandma Debby! She was the best dressed princess!
Hard to believe she is now four! We had her birthday party early this year to avoid cold weather. As it turned out it was VERY cold. (Needless to say her actual birthday was near 70!) Nonetheless, the Kyra had a blast at her Halloween Barn party!
Dinosaur Hunter!
Uncle Logan stopped by for a little bit!
Dr. Q T Patoutie (aka cousin Kayden!)
The party!
Cousin Myranda wrapping Kyra.
The kids had a mummy wrapping contest using toilet paper. They also went on a treasure hunt!
Opening the presents! She was too funny about the presents, some would say overly dramatic. Everytime she opened one she would say "Ah, Oh thank-you SO much I have always wanted one of these. Thank you so much you are the best"

Some of the decorations.

Kyra's Princess Cake

A VISIT TO THE PARK!

We took the kids to a local park to enjoy one of the few nice days we have had this fall!























































HUNTER TURNED ONE!
Hard to believe that a year has passed since we raced to the hospital to welcome Hunter to our lives! We celebrated his first birthday with family and friends, a very low key event. He was overwhelmed enough with all the attention. He absolutely loved his cake! It took him a few minutes to figure out what cake was, but once he figured it out the cake did not last too long!













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!

Hunter on the move!

Hunter playing in the sand box - He finally found some boy toys! (they are hard to find in our house!)


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

Auntie Missy, Connor and Kyra

Brother and Sister! They never seem to smile at the same time!

Both kids dread seeing the camera!

Finally a decent family picture & NO crying kids!

Auntie Missy, Uncle Pat and Connor joined us for the day!
