Schnepf Farms

This last Saturday we went to Schnepf Farms. My mom, step-dad, sister and her friend Matt came out from Las Vegas. We go every year and this is the third year they have gone with us. We don't usually go the first weekend it's open but it was the only time we could go together. It was cloudy and sprinkling a little by the time we left. We weren't sure how much we would get to do before is started raining. It was a great time to go the place was empty.
We got sprinkled on a couple of times but nothing to bad.

All four together

Then it was off to the "Pumpkin Patch" for more pictures.

I get all the pictures I want of them first

thing then they are free to have fun.

She went in the exit and was going to ride it by herself.

You would think that everyone on it new me because they

were all looking at the camera for the picture.

This is the beautiful sunset we had that night.
I wish I could of got a better picture without
the people, power lines, the big lights etc.
but it was still nice.

Aubrey was so good riding in the stroller.

We had a really nice time. I took a lot more pictures
but just picked out a few of my favorites.
If you've never been to Schnepf Farms I would
recommend that you go. It's a lot of fun for all ages.

Happy Thursday ☺

Aubrey's 1st Haircut!

I waited as long as I could but it was

time to take Aubrey for her first haircut.

Here is the before without a pony...

She wasn't happy because we

tried to put the cape on her.
She wasn't having any of that!

Guy sat in the chair and held her

while I kept feeding her sweet-tarts.

{that's why she has all the funny faces}

She did great!
It was also past her nap time
so she was about to fall asleep.

The after...

Doesn't she look so cute!

Happy Monday☺

Happy Birthday Bryce!

Happy 9th Birthday Bryce William!

It's hard to believe he is 9 already.

I remember sitting on the couch and crying

thinking "I'm never going to have this baby."

He was a week over due and the hospital

was to full to call me in to be induced.

They did finally call and we got our Baby Boy!

Bryce is our one and only son...

...a great brother to his three sisters...

...loves to play baseball...

...a great student...

...kind and caring...

...loud and 100% all boy...

Happy Birthday Bryce!

We love you ♥

Big Girl Bed Part 2

It's been a week now that Aubrey has been in her toddler bed.

She is doing great! She cried the first couple of nights

and came out of the room a couple of times, but now

I can just lay her down. I check on her every night before

I go to bed to make sure she is still in her bed. A few

nights she's been asleep on the floor, so I've put her

back in her bed only to find her on the floor again in

the morning. I'm sure she'll stay in her bed someday.

She has been the easiest one to move into a toddler bed.

I'm so glad for that. Now I have to decide when to move

Ally out of Ashley's room into the same room with Aubrey.

I now this won't be easy because Ally won't go to bed

without Ashley in the room. If Ashley isn't home she'll

cry for an hour " I want my Ashley! " I think I'll wait for

Fall Break in October so Ashley can still get some sleep for school.

Happy Tuesday ☺

Big Girl Bed!

Yesterday we moved Aubrey out of our room and her crib.

We put the toddler bed together and set it up in what will be

Ally and Aubrey's room. We put her in it last night ready for

the many trips of putting her back in her new bed, because

we have done this with three others and know the drill.

Well, much to our surprise she didn't come out once.

We can only hope for the same tonight.

But this morning when Guy went in to check
on her this is how he found her.

They have all done this but not the first night.

I'm just glad she didn't wake up and couldn't get out.

We've had that happen with the others.

I will keep you posted on her moving to her big girl bed.

Happy Monday ☺

Lunch with Papa!

Today we went and had lunch with my dad.

He works at Honeywell and they have a pond with ducks.

He brought out some popcorn so Ally could feed the ducks.

She wasn't happy that they would leave

because she wanted to feed them.

She was determined to catch
them and give them some popcorn.

Here she is chasing them with some popcorn in her hand.
I think she wanted to give them the popcorn.
We kept telling her that she couldn't walk up to them.
She didn't care she was on a mission.

Aubrey enjoyed watching
Ally chase the ducks.

Aubrey liked the ducks from a far.

It was a fun time, still a little Hot but it was nice.
I think they had a good time,and I know
Papa loved spending some time with them.

Happy Wednesday☺

Sweet Girls!

These two have been so different since Ashley and Bryce went back to school. They are playing more with each other and getting along. I took these pictures of them the first day Ashley and Bryce went back to school. I just haven't had time to blog.

Ally comes out saying something about Aubrey in her bed.
I didn't understand much of it, then she says "come on mama!"
I went in the room to see what she was talking about.
She got in the bed and asked me to cover them up.
Then they both started saying "Ni-Night" over and over.
I had to run for my camera quick
before they didn't think it was fun anymore.

Then it was time so sing to me.

I love them so much and days like this.
It makes their bad days a little easier.

Happy Tuesday☺

It's that time of year again...

Back to School!
Today is the first day of school.
Ashley is starting 5th grade and Bryce 3rd.

This means the house will be a little quieter
during the day but the evenings will be filled with
Math, Reading,

Practice Spelling Test,

Dance Classes and so on.

I guess "Summer Vacation" is over
for Mom and Dad too!

Happy Monday☺
