My favorite time of year - cooler days, pretty leaves, cozy clothes, and of course, cider mill visits! We went to Yates this past weekend on a whim - best whim ever! We had such a great time, the weather was perfect, and it was a really nice way to spend Saturday morning.
Climbing the river rocks - amazingly we both stayed dry!
Lewis and Clark ain't got nothin on us
Maggie backpack
More exploring
Evie loved the idea of feeding the goats, but ran away every time they got close
This photo was better in theory
Game face
Just gonna climb this tree.... don't mind me
The highlight of Maggie weekend - riding Marbles
Evie is totally ready to play soccer. Also, I look like the creepy alien from Signs in the background
Contemplating her next move
Here's a few others from the week:
Little schoolgirl after class
Applauding my amazing dinner. I am going to start making my family do this every night.
Supergirl and Wonder Woman!
Ready for action. Or a hug. Hard to tell.
The girls looked so sweet after church...
Yes, these are actually the same two girls
Watching the game with one of her school buddies
Please keep my mother-in-law in your prayers - she had a really nasty fall at the zoo and broke her arm and toe! This is one tough lady, and we're hoping she is feeling better soon!
Jamie and I had a fun weekend away for Rob and Christy’s
wedding in Illinois! We had a ton of
fun, and even got to sleep in a couple days!
Jamie officiated the wedding and I was so proud of him, did a great job!
Vowing and such
My love
The guys
Maggie is doing great at preschool, and seems to be a little
more polite and better at communicating lately.
She did an art project at school to put together a picture of herself
and had her teacher fill out some information.
Her favorite color is pink, favorite food is spaghetti, fave animal is a
horse, and when she grows up, she wants to be a mama (affirmation – maybe I’m
not totally screwing this up!).
Maggie at 3
Evie is our little imitator, and always wants to do just
what Maggie is doing. Even when Maggie
starts crying and has a roll-on-the-floor tantrum, Evie will do the same while
laughing. I’m finally starting to hear
some garbled words come out of her mouth, and she seems to be a fan of Sesame
Street characters at the moment.
Awesome at life
Maggie had her first soccer practice a couple weekends
ago. It was basically a bunch of kids
playing running games, but it was still fun to watch. She does not seem to love or hate playing
soccer, so I don’t have a whole lot of feedback just yet. Evie really wanted to run on the field the
entire time.
It's all about confidence
I see you
Proud mama
Can I play?
We also celebrated my dad’s 71st birthday at my
parents’ house. The cousins had a blast
playing together, and really didn’t need much attention from us!
Happy Birthday, Dad!
Pops, princesses and a ninja
The family that Hokey-Pokey-ies together, stays together
ALL THE FROSTING
After dinner stroll
Looking guilty
We met up with our friends to see a cabaret show at Foley
and also meet some princesses. Maggie and
her friend Hazel were angels throughout the show… Evie was fine as long as we
kept putting Teddy Grahams in her mouth…
