grandma and grandpa came to town!

Choices choices choices

Last Saturday grandma and grandpa came to visit us again!!! It was such a nice day we immediately took them to the pumpkin patch to enjoy the sun! Braden took his time picking out the BEST pumpkin.

I think he's the best little pumpkin!!

This is how Emmitt rolls...

Just chillin

A little pumpkin bowling....

Both of the boys loved riding on the tractors.

Emmitt is showing off his new walking skills! Yes that's right Emmitt is finally walking, don't worry he's only 16months....FINALLY says mom!

I think Grandpa gave Emmitt this giant spoon to eat with...maybe all the other spoons were dirty....It was pretty funny cause he actually tried eating with it.

I think he was being tickled.

Grandma really wanted a picture of the boys in their handsome church outfits....obviously Emmitt didn't want a picture.

A little cleaning while Grandma was here...Emmitt thought he'd help out.

Every night there was LOTS and LOTS of playing. Braden's favorite game involved Grandpa flying this little spin toy upstairs to him, then him throwing it back down...over and over and over again. Grandpa was such a good sport playing with Braden! I don't think his energy ever runs out, if only we could all have the same amount of enthusiasm as this little three year old.

Two handsome dudes!! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for coming to see all of us. We all miss you already!

Fair Date

Braden and mommy had a date at the fair together so we could do the rides and eat yummy food! We met Aunt Meg and Kaylee and rode the bus down to the fair....both daddys had to work at the fair so we said hi to them and then back to the rides we went.

Braden specifically requested lemonade, corn, and the blue cotton candy. He ate this giant sugary fluff all by himself! He also won a duck playing a fishing game which we left on a ride. So I went back to claim our missing duck and saw that another little girl had taken it. I tried to get it from her but then her mom informed me she brought it on the ride....oops...wrong race car, I felt a little dumb. We found the duck in the other blue car.

We rode on the foot massage ride, Braden thought that one was kind of funny. But since his legs weren't long enough to reach he stood on my feet so he could feel the vibrations. Then we headed to the train...the one ride I went on $3 worth of fun!

Our self portrait....not my best angle.

Thanks to Aimee and Grammy for watching Emmitt so we could enjoy the fair together....we finally headed home after a little band practice.

First Day of Pre-School

Braden had his first day of Pre-School back in September.....we had to have a little photo shoot....with a few funny faces. We can't forget his favorite part of starting...the spiderman lunch box. Thanks Becca!~

Playin at the Park

Okay, this photo is just a random one.....but the ones below are from our outing to the park today with Auntie Meg, KK, and Emma.

These babies kept trying to escape to the wood chips.

This is Kaylee not smiling for the picture...Aunt Meg and I did a good job though.

We had fun being in the sun...just can't get enough of this great summer weather (finally). Ya, none of the kids are paying any attention to Auntie Meg with the camera, or at least are not smiling. Emma was doing such a good job walking today....we kept practicing with her. Emmitt does a great job of standing but he is a little too laid back and doesn't seem to care too much. On a happier note he cut his 8th tooth today, this explains his super grumpy behavior the past two days. Emmitt also turned 15 months yesterday! He is starting to look so old.

Labor Day 2011

For Labor Day we took a little family vacation...to our backyard. We set up the tent and attempted to stay the night there on Friday. Braden was so excited about the tent he was up just about every two minutes. So we roasted marshmellows over our charcoal chimney and called it a night. Braden slept in his bed with a sleeping bag instead. SO much for our camp out. It was still fun! The next morning we went to NW Trek. Braden loved all the animals and the train (tram)ride!! Emmitt loved seeing the bears and the birds, and this giant tree stump.

After NW Trek we had a great BBQ with Papa!!

All Grown Up - Toddler Bed for SALE

Braden has outgrown his toddler bed! Can you believe it?!?

I am hoping to sell them to a friend instead of doing the craigslist thing. So make me an offer for some of it, all of it whatever. Below is what they retailed for. The bed set and mattress are in great condition and the bed works great too it just has some scratches and dings from the previous little owner. You may wonder why Emmitt won't be using these...I plan on putting them in a bunk bed in the same room next summer.
