Catching up -August

A few pictures from August...


Ella is learning to match Daddies socks! And Lucas likes to watch us as we work on the laundry.


Daddy and the kids!


Ella cooking in her kitchen. She chose to wear her shoes and sweater with her jammies and her apron and chef's hat. Quite stylish I think!


Getting a little trim.


Tummy time for Lucas... playing with his first tonka truck!


This is the first and only time Ella has fallen asleep at the table. So so sweet! I guess lunch was a little dull this day.


Lucas is starting to sit up... with support!

Harvest Festival

The harvest festival at our church was especially fun this year! Ella had a lot of fun with the games and was super excited to collect some candy in her new pumpkin bucket!


Ella was Snow White and Lucas was Happy the dwarf. Don't they look so precious!?! I made Lucas' costume... It's the first costume I have made and I was pretty impressed with how well it came out! It seemed like such a "Mommy" thing to do. Lots of fun!

Jumping in the bounce house.

Cinderella (Naomi) and Snow White (Ella).

Bat Girl (Claire), Queen Isabella (Karys) and Snow White (Ella)

Getting her face painted, it's a flower. Last year this made her cry. She's growing up!

The end of the night... Ella has lots of candy and Lucas has become Sleepy the dwarf!

Pumpkin Patch

This week we finally had the feeling of fall in out weather. The temperature even got down below 60 degrees. We just loved it! And just in time for our Harvest festivities!

A local church does a pumpkin patch every year and we always love to go! This year we waited too late and there were not as many pumpkins to pick from but we still enjoyed ourselves and found 3 fine pumpkins! (Lucas got a little tiny one)

Picking just the right one!

How about this one?!?

Say... Pumpkins!

Our Fall Family

We saw some friends there, Ella had so much fun running around with Karys and Claire!

Kessa loved talking to Lucas!
