Disney On Ice

I couldn't decide if I was going to take the kids to Disney on Ice this year, but as soon as I started seeing the commercials on tv, I knew I'd regret it if we didn't. (We've gone the last 5 years, so I didn't want to break tradition.) I went online and found with the schools coupon book I could still buy discount tickets, so I did, only 2 days before the show. I decided it would be fun to surprise them. When Hayden got home from school he was going nuts wanting to know where we were going. We went to dinner at Wendy's first (and teased him that it was his surprise....too bad we eat there too often and he knew it wasn't!). So I had them start guessing. Hayden guessed the Great Wolf Lodge ( I wish!), a Coldplay Concert (again I wish!) or a Movie. Kaylyn guessed we were taking her to the scarey store (Party City, which doesn't make sense because I know she's terrified of that place.) When we pulled up to the Rose Garden to park, Hayden guessed it when he saw all the girls in princess dresses walking in. They were so excited, but Hayden did mention he'd rather see a Blazer Game. I guess that's a sign of his age :(

The Lion King. My Favorite Disney Movie.

Kaylyn finally agreed to put on her Aurora Halloween Costume from last year. She was such a cute princess.

Lightning McQueen from Cars!

My Mom with a very happy Brynley. She did great for her first Ice performance. It held her attention till the intermission, then she was tired and took a nap.
Poor Kaylyn started feeling sick at intermission and by the end was feverish and lethargic. She still loved it though and Hayden loved the Cars show. The next morning she was feeling fine and wanting to go back.

Off to the Patch....

Our annual trip to the pumpkin patch was perfect this year. There was no crowds and it wasn't raining. We had a blast. Kaylyn had been asking all year when we passed by the street it's on, when we'd get to back, so she was very very happy to be there, again. I love this tradition. I always get some of my favorite pictures at the pumpkin patch :)

My babies! Brynley was so excited to be there for her first trip, she kept squeeling with delight.

Daddy and his kids.

Washing the pumpkins is a family affair. Geoff picked a green pumpkin, since he makes them sick and puking.

Brynley's first time at a petting zoo. She loved this goat. He loved her until she started pulling his hair.

Kaylyn on the hay pyramid.

I love this picture. Something so cute about catching them by surprise.

The pumpkins. Hayden picked the largest....again.

Some nice lady took our picture on the hay pyramid.

Hayden's 1st grade photo


Here's Hayden's 1st grade photo. I'm real impressed how it turned out. I know he's my son, but I think he's such a handsome boy!

Brynleys pictures











I'm a bad Mom and I never got Brynley down to have some professional pictures of her at 6 months, so while I was out taking pictures of Kaylyn I took a few of Brynley. She wasn't sure about laying on the grass, but she was a good sport for the other photos, and any with her big sissy holding her she's happy!

Kaylyns 4 year old pictures




















I am really behind on pictures of the kids, so I took Kaylyn down to the park to take her 4 year old photos. It was a beautiful fall day and I got some really cute pictures of her. She had fun exploring the park and then at the end I let her play on playground.

She can be a handful at times but as she grows she becomes more fun. This girl has such a personality on her. She loves to play house, dress-up and Barbies. Next year she starts kindergarten (I'm not sure if I'm ready). Time is going by so quickly.

Brynley's already 7 months!

My Baby girl is already 7 months, so as I have every month, I took pictures on her actual 7 month birthday! Sorry this are a little late being posted. Before long I'll be posting her 8 month photos.

She's getting even more of a personality on her. She's started the cheesy smiles, which I haven't gotten a picture of yet, but hope to soon. She's a rolling fool, and has decided she doesn't like green baby food, but loves cherrios.
