Another Festival

Our neighborhood had a really, really, really small fall festival last weekend. The highlight was obviously the pony rides. It was Eliana's first time on a horse! She was not afraid at all and she had a blast!

Ummmm....Wow!

I just can't believe Sasha was ever this little.

TeeHeeHee

Fun

We went to the JCC Family Festival on Sunday and one way to "spend" our tickets was a little photo shoot! Eliana and I went in the morning while Sasha was in Sunday school and then, we all three went back later that afternoon. DO NOT tell Sasha that Eliana had a popsicle in the morning.

My New Toy

After a few months of obsessive research (by me) and lots and lots of test driving, we bought a Honda Pilot last night. I did all the grunt work and then sent Matt in to do the wheelin' and dealin'. I love when Matt goes to buy big purchases. He always does a great job. I got a lot more bells and whistles than I needed but I will enjoy every single one of them!

I actually am going to meet our salesguy on Friday morning so he can teach me how to use some of the features. I do have priorities though, and I got up early this morning so I could figure out the DVD player so Eliana could watch a movie on the way to school. And I listened to music! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

Pumpkin Seeds

My absolute favorite thing about Pumpkins, is roasted pumpkin seeds. I kind of actually like carving the pumpkin, too. It's much harder than my Daddy made it look but it's still just as fun!

Pumpkin "Patch"

Like most 2-year-olds, Eliana has been fascinated with trains lately. I found a train in a nearby town that takes a trip to a Pumpkin Patch. The Pumpkin Patch was really just a patch of grass along the side of the train tracks (I even found a "produce" sticker on the side of one of the pumpkins--HaHa.). It was terribly, terribly hot but the girls had a blast so it was all worth it!!




Even with all the farm animals for petting, my girls wanted to pet the dogs. They even asked for dog balloon animals. Wonder where they got their love for dogs.

My Heart

It's right there on those steps.
(Don't worry, there's plenty more room left in there...AHEM---MATT!)

Trip To Colorado

My favorite sister and her family moved to Colorado this summer. While it's sad that she's not in PA anymore, it's so awesome that we get to go visit such a beautiful state. The girls and I landed in Denver during a HUGE snowstorm. Sasha was in awe of all the snow and even started "playing" with the dirty snow that had fallen off cars in the parking lot. Because of the weather, it took us over 3 hours to get to Kerri's house and much to the girl's dismay, her town only got about 2 inches of snow. They still found plenty to make snowballs.

The weather was cold when we first got there but it warmed up to typical fall weather, a much welcome change from the heat and humidity that will not leave Florida!

And let me tell you how cute the girls were in their Colorado Cowgirl costumes!
The boys, well...well, they are boys and I think they are cute, no matter what!

More Pictures Here!

Skycoaster in Colorado

Jakob talked Kerri and I into doing it and I'm so glad he did. It was awesome. We were 1300 feet in the air and flew out over a gorge! It was beautiful. I couldn't feel my legs but I did not throw up! Enjoy!

I can't believe it.

I started going through Sasha's old clothes. Eliana is now wearing the same size that Sasha was wearing when we brought her home. In fact, I should have gone through the stash earlier because a lot of the clothes are already too small for Eliana! It's awesome pulling out some of my favorites and knowing they will be worn again. It's also pretty sad because Sasha is growing up way too fast.


Here's my big girl modeling one of her old shirts.

Daddy's Birthday

We had to celebrate Daddy's birthday a few days early because he was out of town for the big day. He got a pair of Grumpy flannel pjs and a key chain with a picture of his 3 pretty girls on it!

Waking up is hard to do!

Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed when it's raining. It's always hard to get out of bed when it's cold outside. Waking up next to this sweet puppy makes it the hardest to get out of bed!
