Pumpkin patch 2011

once again we headed to Tim's pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkins for the littles.  the search was a little harder this year given it was a bad year for pumpkin crops but despite the challenge we still had a great time.  yammy and papa joined us this year which made the littles as happy as clams.

here is levi last year...i can't believe how much he has grown

levi loved all the pumpkins

daddy with a wheel barrow full of cuteness.

and they are off

Sophie found hers

levi making sure sophies pumpkin is wheel barrow worthy

ella found hers

abbie found hers!

levi found his

and like his sissies he was going to pick it up and
put it in the wheel barrow all by himself

or maybe not

or maybe yes

nope...he decided to just sit beside his pumpkin and look cute

yes there it is folks...another sad attempt at a group shot of all the littles.

abbie and her papa

what a great day.

Sophie turns 6

Wow

my first born has turned six

where does time go

here are some cute little things i want to remember about my sophie at this age

she still loves horses

and any other creature that moves. 


in fact she pretty much spend all summer catching any living thing she could find.

still says a couple words a little "funny" like purt for put and brefkiss for breakfast.  mommy loves it!

can play with anything
Here she is playing with random sneakers and shoes (and a play blender) she found around her...they were having conversations and everything. :)

she is sooo girly.  her summer uniform usually consisted of a ruffly skirt with a glittery shirt.



but don't be fooled.  she would also go and tackle her sister in her  ruffly skirt and glittery shirt. 



she can go from sweet


to sour
in a matter of seconds



she looves stuffed animals and will often try and get mommy to buy one for her wherever we go.

oh how i love my sophie!  she has captured this mommas heart.  happy birthday to my sweet 6-year old sophie. 

birthday cont...

sophie had a great time on her actual birthday. 

of course she started off with some donuts.

then she was allowed to open one present before church (a big box of squinkies)




then after church we opened the rest of her gifts.  she opened her presents from Grampy while waiting for daddy which explains her wardrobe change.  she loved her new horse shirt and twinkle toes!





here she opening her favorite gift.


a fish bowl with a promise that we would go to walmart and she could pick out her own goldfish.  she was so happy!



and here she is with Lila Whitacre.  i love to see the
excitement in her smile!





happy birthday to my sweet little sophie.


and here is a picture of Levi enjoying his sissy's cake.  i always laugh when i look at this picture.  it looks like he is wearing a flipper in this picture! (which I know from watching toddlers and tiaras. :)

Cute lil girls

Just some pics of some cute lil girls in their cute lil school outfits (and pajamas)....

here is our little picture crasher.

and our picture crasher once again. 
 Poor Ellie had a stye (I think that is how you spell it) in her eye.

Love this picture.

i wish i could remember what they are laughing at in this picture.

i had to laugh when we had two littles crash this photo shoot.  levi just walked right up to the fireplace and stood beside sophie.  and then of course abbie was right behind him.  i love my babies.

so cute.
