Hehe.....

This photo cracks me up:)

It is a drizzly Michigan fall day and the we are at

the apple orchard, climbing/jumping between hay bales.

Piper is napping in the car with Brad.

Keegan had a dress coat on that I knew was going to

get trashed so I offer her mine.

Bailey is going for the grizzly bear look.

Brady is trying to knock me over.

Yummy donuts were consumed...with sugar!

Jonny and Chris and Charlie brave the cold for cider.

Mom is in the car with her foot up.

I am in shear heaven despite the weather.

Love Michigan fall with my family.

So many good memories

from my recent trip to Michigan

lots of photos to share....

perhaps in collage form?

Super Party

Highlights from Brady's Super 5th Birthday Party

Loved the way so many of his friends drove so far to

run around with him.

Loved that Brad completely played up the role of the

Gobbler!

Loved how all the kids listened and there were no head injuries

with the pinata.

Loved how much fun the kids had

Loved how Brady said this was a such a fun party

right after

Loved how Jonny was a face painting Master

Loved how the capes turned out

Loved having such a great celebration.

I miss these Guys

And am soooo excited that I get to see them soon.

I wonder how much bigger they have gotten in a month.

I wonder if Piper still looks like a monster

in comparison...

I wonder if they still like their photos taken....

Look how much Riley loves it! He is waving as if to say...

Don't go! keep taking my picture so I can pee on your

sheets!

Gilly turns 6!!

My kiddos were invited to a horse back riding party

last month. So we hopped into the minivan and

arrived at cowgirl/cowboy heaven!

The children got to ride horses, beat and I mean

BEAT a pinata, dig in the hay for barn animals,

play horse shoes and eat lots of yummy food.

I got to scrape manure off the stroller:)
