Hee Haw Farms

We started with the goats and ducks, Annabelle really liked the chickens this time, too. I think this baby goat remembered Jack, it tried climbing up on his leg!

Annabelle really enjoyed herself on the giant slide with daddy

Way to jump boys!

Love the animal train rides

Princess and the Giant Pumpkin

The corn box, always a favorite. This is with Preston, a random boy who maybe comes with the place? He and Jack played together the whole 3 hours we were there:)

Annabelle finally enjoyed the horsey tire swing this year

Corn Cannons! Jack was shooting super well, almost got the pumpkin off the bucket, he did get the corn on the bucket next to the pumpkin

The Family on the hayride to the pumpkin patch

One last note: Tink pooped in the toilet last night! At 13.5 months! So proud of her!!!

Good Day

I'm going to start this post by saying that I am going private. This will be the last post before we go private. So if you would like to keep following, please email me at marynika_k@hotmail.com to get an invitation to keep viewing the blog. Thank you!

Saturday was a fabulous day. Stephen took Jack shooting (zombie mice) in the morning, Jack loved it! And I painted our fence - almost done!

Then Babi, kids, dogs and I went hiking in the beautiful fall colors

We had a picnic in one of our favorite alcoves - and then went picture happy:) Such beautiful fall colors!

When we got home we carved pumpkins - love those pumpkin guts!!

Jack wanted a bat like batman, Tink got a Witch and witches hat, Babi did a Cat and I did Frankenstein - so fun! (Jack's is carved, he just likes to 'cover him up again')

Kids

As we all know, sometimes our kids drive us crazy, and then other days, we can't even believe how sweet they are:)

This week Annabelle wasn't feeling very well, and as a result kept pushing Jack away every time he'd try to come close to me. As a result, he told her:

"Annabelle, mommy belongs to you and to me and to Babi and to Daddy." So big of a four year old to say:) Then when they were in the car and I went to get her out he just gave her so much love in hugs and kisses so she'd feel better:)

Then yesterday we were at Wal-Mart and Annabelle found a bin of $1 African Animal toys. She divided in (all I could see was her little blue bottom) and dug through all the toys until she found a tiger (loves tigers) she was so proud to show Jack and I, then she went back and found me a black horse (I like to tell her about horses) and went back one more time and found a dinosaur for Jack (his favorite:)) It was so sweet and well thought out, and only being 13 months! I love my kids!

Circus

For Stephen's Birthday we got him Circus tickets:) It was our first time to it and super fun! Loved the tigers, they seemed to really enjoy themselves.

Cutest School Pics:)

Stephen's Birthday - September 7th

Happy Birthday Stephen! Look at all those candles!

Frosting on all our noses:)

Jack reading daddy his birthday card

Everybody loves cake:)

The guys getting ready for their first daddy-son campout. Annabelle was convinced she was going, also.

My cute boy, he asked me to take this picture of him so I could kiss him goodnight:)

Labor Day Weekend Fun

Whew! It has been a busy weekend! Started off with Jack receiving his Arf Trooper costume in the mail that he worked so hard for! Doing chores: feeding dogs, eating ALL veggies, cleaning room every night for a week, (the veggies were the hardest part) he loves it and rarely takes it off:)

Then Annabelle opened her birthday package from pra-babi, she got an adorable little purple dress and both kids got gummi's! Yeahy! Their favorite!

Then we all worked hard on fixing a sprinkler line. It was very much a joint effort, with kids scooping dirt and sorting the rocks for us, too. (Jack's not naked, but I didn't want him to ruin his Arf Trooper costume)

Annabelle's Birthday Party on Sunday

With her favorite cousin Ellie:)

Blowing out the birthday candles

Cake Face!

Kids playing

Presents - Thank you all! It was wonderful!

Then Monday we went to the Sheepdog Festival in Midway

One of Jack's favorite parts, running down the hill:)

Love this picture, Jack has one just like it at this age, looking at cows. Same crazy fruufy hair and everything:)

We met one of Jack's preschool buddies there, Brennan, that was really fun

Pony Rides!

Annabelle's first time on a pony, she did good!

My kids absolutely adore goats!
