Disney On Ice

We took the girls to Disney On Ice show a couple of weeks ago. Maddie had been begging me to get tickets for this show since she heard an ad on the radio. Little did she know, I had purchased the tickets in a pre-sale months ago. So, I knew she was going to be so excited when the day came. We did not tell her or Peyton where we were going. We just had them dress up in costumes and we headed for the Rose Garden. Madison figured it out once she saw all the kids standing in line all dressed in costumes. Peyton did great for having to watch a 2 and a half hour show. She loved all of the lights, music, characters, and action. She danced and clapped her way through the first half of the show and lost interest in the second half, but still did pretty good. Thank goodness for popcorn. :) The show was a combination of the stories: The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Cars, and Tinkerbell.

Another Trip To The Pumpkin Patch

Today we took our annual family trip to the Pumpkin Patch, Lee Farms. It was a BEAUTIFUL Fall day and we couldn't of asked for better weather. Bryan had to work today so we met my parents and sister and her friend Brent. Lee Farms has so much to do! We saw puppies, chicks, baby cows, goats, llamas, pigs, chickens, and ponies. We took a trip around the farm on a bumpy hay ride. The girls enjoyed picking one family pumpkin and loved being pushed around in the wheelbarrow. The farm makes homemade donuts and they are so yummy.

That was our little treat of the day! I love Fall!

Hip, Hip, Hooray...

It's A Gymboree Day!

Peyton started her Gymboree class this week. Bryan took her to her first class and said she loved it. It is a class that we did with Maddie when she was little and thought Peyton would enjoy it too. Gymboree classes are full of music, dance, make believe play, and lots of movement, climbing, and sliding. I can't wait to take her to her next class!Dancing with Gymbo!Pretending to plant a "pumpkin seed". The theme of the day was Pumpkins.Jump, Jump, Jump!A little help here? Ready to play!

Madison Looses Her 1st Tooth!

Madison has had a loose tooth for weeks now and has been wiggling it on a daily basis. Today I went to volunteer in her class and she had lost her tooth just before I had gotten there. Her teacher said she was showing her the wiggly tooth and out it came. Madison was so excited. I just love the little jack-o-lantern smile she has! I can't believe my baby has lost her first tooth!

Hooray For ELMO!

Peyton loves Elmo right now. So Bryan's most recent pumpkin carving of the week was... you guessed it... Elmo. Peyton was so excited and grinned from ear to ear when she saw it. It will be sad when this pumpkin gets old.

On a beautiful day we went to Fir Point Farms with our friends. It was fun for everyone with the nice weather and many pumpkins to choose from. I love the bright orange color!A bunch of pumpkins!Peyton wanted every pumpkin...the only trouble she had was lifting the big ones.On top of the world.HAPPY CARVING!

Happy October!

Fall is here and the days have become shorter but are still sunny. There is a definite nip in the air in the evenings and mornings. The leaves are starting to change colors. We are busy with school, work, friends, and family. The girls get outside and play every chance they get. Here are some new pictures of the girls ready for Fall.

Her shirt says it all. She is a Daddy's Girl!

Peyton is growing up so quickly! Her hair is finally long enough for little pig tails.Maddie is also growing every day and has her first loose tooth!

She loves school and especially riding the big yellow bus. Bryan LOVES to carve Pumpkins I would have to guess this is his favorite part of October. So, although they will not last until Halloween, he has decided to carve one a week. The girls think it is a GREAT idea! They dove right into the pumpkin goop! Happy Fall!
