A Hayride Through the Lights.

Elizabeth and I got to go to a local farm with some of her classmates last week for a hayride that goes through a beautiful light display. It was the perfect night (almost 60 degrees), we had so much fun singing and enjoying the awesome company and beautiful scenery!

A Christmas Dance Recital

My little performer had her first "Baby Ballet" dance recital last week and of course, she didn't disappoint! She got a little distracted in the beginning but by the end was all about the attention. When she got off stage she quickly asked, "Can I do it again?". Daddy and I couldn't be more proud of our little ballerina.

Good vs Evil!

Since this is the probably the last Halloween I get to pick out the kids costumes I decided on good vs evil or an angel and a devil! They both had a great time going house to house getting their candy, both guarded their pails with everything they had. I love that they are old enough know to enjoy the holidays and finally understand. Needless to say I can't wait till Christmas!!!!

18 Months! (Ok 19 and a week but better late than never!)

Little man (I should say huge) went to the doctor for his 18 month appointment yesterday, which technically was his 19 and a week appointment but because we have been running a little late scheduling appointments it was a little late. Oh well! Anyway Dr. M was quite impressed with Jace, not only do his measurements give everyone a good laugh but his personality is pretty hysterical. He can pretty much understand everything we say and is getting really good at answering questions so when Dr. M asked him if he wanted his flu shot Jace quickly replied "NO!"

His measurements:
Height 36 inches (not even close to on the chart)
Weight 31 pounds (90%)

The Pumpkin Patch!

Yesterday afternoon was a beautiful fall day, the temperature was a perfect 70 degrees with not a cloud in site, so we decided to take advantage of this beautiful day by taking the kiddos to the local pumpkin patch. They had a blast running around and trying to find the perfect pumpkins. Of course we had to end it early because some little boy had to have a snack but, all in all it was a great afternoon of family time, something that is definitely hard to come by in this family!



Typical Elizabeth!

Explaining how to pick the perfect pumpkin!

Observation Day!

Elizabeth as most know is quite the attention hog, so it should come as no surprise that she loves to perform! And perform she did! While most of the other three year olds just froze during parent observation day, my girl danced her heart out! She was so pleased with herself and loved the fact the people clapped for the performance. I guess everyone was right Josh and I are in for some trouble!

Look at the concentration!
Mom are you watching?

Man I'm Good!!!!
