Cousin Time!

Last weekend I watched Owen, Colin and Kendal while Brian and Doug were hunting and Andria went to the OSU game. The boys played sooo good together and Kendal and I just hung out and relaxed. We all were wearing our Beaver shirts to show our Beaver pride. It was such a wonderful day!

Pumpkin Carving

This was Colin's first year of carving pumpkins. He was probably old enough last year, but since Brian was in Iraq, I just skipped it. But since Brian is home this year, we decided to carve pumpkins! We picked out our pumpkins and started to carve them. Well, I should say Brian started to carve them. It was pretty funny. Kendal would have loved to get her hands on the pumpkin if we would have let her. Colin ran around and kept screaming "it's going to be scary!" He was very excited to have a scary pumpkin. When we asked him if he wanted to dig out the inside of the pumpkin he said "no, I'm just a little bit tired." So basically Brian carved a really cool pumpkin and we all watched. It was really fun and we can't wait for Brian, I mean us do to it again next year!!

Harvest Festival

Every year Colin's preschool hosts a Harvest Festival for the kids. They have tons of games, candy, prizes and yummy food for everyone who comes. When we got to the Harvest Festival Colin was very bashful about participating in the events. He tends to be shy in times when he is not familiar with the situation. It took a lot of coaxing from Brian and I to get him involved in the games. Basically we had to do every game with him. We were there for about 45 minutes and then decided to go. He wasn't into it. However, when we got home and I asked him if he had fun he said that he did. Hopefully next year's Harvest Festival will be a bigger hit for him.

Good little eater!

Kendal is definitely a good eater. She is so different from what Colin was and is still today. Colin is sooo picky! If you give her something she will eat it....might not always like it, but at least she will try it. She really likes feeding herself. Hopefully she will continue to be open minded and not get picky as she gets older. We will keep our fingers crossed.

A little bit of peek-a-boo and a little bit of football

I need jumps!

Since Colin got his new bike, he keeps telling us he needs jumps that he can ride off of. So Brian made him a jump. He absolutely loves it and thinks he is pretty hot stuff every time he rides off of it.

Pumpkin Patch

Our wedding anniversary fell on a monday so Brian and I took the day off from work and took the kids to the pumpkin patch. We always go to Bauman Farms which is outside of Woodburn. We had beautiful weather and we enjoyed every minute of it.
