Evan's blessing day

I am kicking myself because while Jacob's parents where here, I throughly enjoyed them and had some great conversation, but in the mean time, I got NO pictures of just them here!!! We got a picture of the blessing crew, but Jake's dad wasn't here...and I thought I would just try to get another one (cause my dad had to leave) but then never did! :( So, we'll have to photoshop Opa in one of these days! :)

We had a great week with family here! I really enjoyed everyone, thank you all for coming! The kids miss having everyone here! Taelin tried to fly home with Kyle and Courtney...she kept telling me that she would be right back, to not miss her, but that I could visit her and Courtney. :) In the end, she stayed. But each time they come and go, it gets harder. I guess they might just get her one of these days when my convincing skills dont do the job!

The Pumpkin Patch

This was our second annual trip to the U PICK pumpkin patch...it was super fun and the kids loved the train ride, picking sweet corn with Opa and Daddy, finding the perfect pumpkin (daddy took forever), doing the kid corn maze with Uncle Kyle, and I throughly enjoyed having Courtney catch all of it on camera so I could enjoy the experience and actually be hands on with my kids! Overall, it was a great day!

p.s. i tried to attach more pictures, but blogger is being stupid!

family picture

i always love the fall time for pictures! last year i didnt get one...but this year we headed out early and will actually take another since i realized we needed a vertical one for all our family's walls. the kids did great and the tripod did its magic! so glad my kids will smile at a tripod & camera!

Evan's Birth Announcement

bada bing bada boom....

So, we are trying to catch up here...been busy and adjusting to life with 4 busy kidlets. My grandparents came to visit and altho their stay was short, it was wonderful and the kids were GLUED to them the entire time! It was so fun to see Grpa play board games, grma color and the kids just "show off" for them. I miss them so much! We had a big family dinner here while they were here.

The newness of Evan has not worn off for Taelin. The boys love him, but she mauls Evan everytime she sees him. She wakes up, and asks for him. She walks downstairs and wonders what he's doing and asks every 5 minutes if she can go kiss him. She lays next to him and cooes to him for hours.
