Pumpkin Patch

We have had a hard time finding a good pumpkin patch here, but thought that we would try one out. We got there to see that it was pretty lame. It was at a church and you would just walk around the grounds to a couple of different spots and pick a pumpkin. I guess all that matters is that the kids had fun. they each got to pick a pumpkin and had a fun time trying to pick the best one.
 Here is Macie with the pumpkin she chose.
 Brynlee being so cute and giving us her cheesy grin.
 Camden thought that the pumpkins made good chairs.
 Addie had a hard time finding the perfect pumpkin so Macie ended up giving hers to Addie and found a different one. Such a nice, caring sister.
 Say cheese!
 My man trying to decide which is heavier, the pumpkin or the baby....

The month of September

September in Review:
Addie was chosen for school as the special VIP for the week. She was the first one chosen and was felt so special. She got to bring home the frog "Phineus" and spend the weekend with him. Then everyday at school she got to do something special to tell about herself. Unfortunately, she got the pukes and had to miss half of the week. But the teacher was very nice and spent the last 2 days letting her catch up on all of it.
 Here she is with Phineus going down the slide.

I introduced the kids to one of my favorite childhood snacks. Frosting on graham crackers. The girls loved it and so did Camden. He couldn't get enough. Here is his blue "smurf" frosting face to prove it.
 Brynlee is now 9 months old. I had to put her in this outfit and take some pics so I can compare them to Macie and added one of Addie just so I could see. I think she looks a lot like Addie.

A picture of the "twins". Camden also got his cast off this month. He got it off near the end of the  month. When we went in, they told us that it still was not healed all of way and to make sure he doesn't do anything for the next 4 weeks. As in, no slides, parks, jumping on anything, climbing on anything, etc.  I laughed at the Dr. and said: "can you please put his cast back on?!" This kid doesn't stay still for anything (if you will notice the bottom of his cast on his foot and see how far gone it is from all of the walking he has been doing with it on. It used to cover his toes...) Luckily he didn't rebreak it and all was well in the end.
 Also this month, Addie got an award in school. She got the award for being the best citizen in her class. (she was the best helper, most kind, best listener, etc). We are pretty sure that she is a teacher's pet. She says things all of the time like, I get to be the line leader every day. No one else ever gets a turn, even if they ask...She is so funny and we are so proud of her.

The month of September

The month of September according to my phone.
 We went bowling with some friends for labor day. The kids had a great time.
 This little girl can now hold her own bottle. YEah!!
 Say cheese.
 One of the girls favorite snacks to have is graham crackers with frosting. Camden of coarse had to have one too. Here is the result.
 Just a cute picture of my baby.
 The city did a little field day so we went to check it out. The girls had a great time playing games and got a little ribbon at the end.
 Trying to color on his cast.
The cast is off and he is just hanging out in a tutu. Compliments of the girls.
