Pumpkin Patch.

We went over to my uncle's house a few weeks ago and picked our pumpkins for the Fall season. He has a HUGE garden and HUNDREDS of pumpkins to pick from. We had a ton of fun picking out ones to bring home with us.

After the garden, we went to my family's farm and got some cabbage, corn and celery to take home.

After all that we headed over to my parents house for a snack and a bath before he headed back home for the day. The girls had a fun time, so here are some pictures to show off our fun!

Re cap from the summer.

Hello everyone.

I have been so busy this summer and have been a rotten blogger. I wanted to post a few photos from the past few months to show off my hubby and girls.

Thing are going well with us. Amelia is now three years old. Yes, Three! She is growing up right before our eyes! I need to schedule her 3 year appointment yet, but she is growing like a weed! She is now pretty much potty trained. She does have her accidents every so often....however, we are on panties 100% of the time. Which is fantastic I feel! She is learning new things all the time...she can do her ABC's and her counting is going quite well. She knows most of her colors now and I'm starting to work on writing with her now. It's really cute to watch her try all these new things. Also, In a few weeks we are going to be starting a bilingual program for her and Norah. They will be starting a fantastic program with some friends and will be learning some basic Spanish. I'm really excited for them. I think It's so important for them to learn, especially with their Aunt and cousin speaking Spanish, I think it will be beneficial for them in the future.

Norah Belle is really changed in the past few months. She is chatting up a storm and you have to watch what you say around her now, she likes to repeat what you say....oops. Anyway, she is quite interested in the potty now too. She likes to sit on it and then "wipe" and flush the toilet...while waving "bye bye pee pee". Yes, it's cute. She wants to wear panties, but she usually ends up peeing in them, yet, she is learning. She is getting some basic skills down now too...what animals say, we are working on colors and just talking in general. New words all the time!

Bryan is working a lot, trying to get extra cash for the holidays that are coming up. Christmas is right around the corner, we are all excited, and looking forward to the upcoming celebrations. Besides work, he tries to spend as much time with the girls and me. He "tries" to get together with is friends for a game of golf, but it doesn't happen as much as it should or would like. He has been working on projects around the house and that does keep him busy too.

I have been keeping busy with the girls during the week...we still enjoy going to Story time on Wednesdays at the Library, but we have now joined this fantastic playgroup. We have gone on a few trips, one to a pumpkin patch/apple picking, to a dairy farm and we have gone to a few playgroups that we have done various projects.....apple stamping, hat making and just playtime. The girls love it, and I do too. The ladies (moms) I have met, are awesome! I have this new fun group of ladies, that I really enjoy spending time. I have also been keeping up with my book club, in which we have read some wonderful books. I really have enjoyed it. It gets me reading books I normally wouldn't read. It's fun! I have also started a Bible study here in my home. I know like I needed to add something else in my schedule....But, I knew adding God into my week, would be a positive thing. He would help me make it happen. So, with that being said, Every other Monday we meet and chat....at this point we are Reading the book of Esther, and learning about her, ourselves and much, much more.

Thanks for taking the time to read about us.

Below are just a few of the MANY pictures I have taken this summer. Hope you enjoy them.
