Love These Brothers

My Name is Andrew...and I'm a Little Boy full of Passion!!!

Andrew is quickly growing up and is becoming quite the little guy. At 5 Andrew enjoys: learning new things in school, working on reading and writing, riding his scooter and doing tricks, playing with friends both girls and boys, not getting rid of anything, taking care of his toys and belongings, hotwheel cars, collecting special things, wearing his hair in a mowhawk, coloring, creating art projects, playing computer games, and being a kindergartener.
We love you Andrew Paul!!!

My Name is Luke...and I'm a Little Love Bug!!!

Our Lukey is a tender-hearted boy. At 3 1/2 Luke enjoys: being unique, wearing only soccer shorts and t-shirts, not wearing pants or sweatshirts, wearing footsie PJ's, wearing the oldest pair of crocs we own, calling his sister sweetie, coloring, cutting, being very sad when he has to leave mommy, sharing and giving things to people (especially his family), not wearing undies (see slide picture below), having a few really good buddies, riding his razor scooter, and making us laugh with his silly comments.
Love you Lukey James!!!

My Name is Allie...and I'm a Little Ham!!!

Can you tell our little girl enjoys the camera and getting attention. She is a complete JOY!!! At 16 months she likes: whatever her brothers have, yelling for whatever she wants, saying "Cheese", dancing, giggling, playing with the older kids, cleaning up, hugging stuffed animals, giving all of us hugs, wearing her sparkly shoes, and waving to everyone she sees. We love our little princess pea so much!!

We Love the Pumpkin Patch

I love fall, I love the pumpkin patch and I love taking pictures of my kiddos. Put that all together and you end up with hundreds of pictures from one trip to the pumpkin patch. We headed out to Bishops Pumpkin Patch this evening for our yearly trip with friends. We like to go in the evening because it is less crowded, I think it a beautiful to see the sun set out on the farm, and parking is free past 5pm. We went with the DeJongs and Polishucks, and as always the kids had a great time together. We let them go on the giant Coyote Mountain slide and pan for gold this time. Andrew informed us on the way up to the patch that the train was "boring" Funny it wasn't boring on Monday when he went with his class for a filed trip. Silly boy!!! The kids also love playing with the animals and watching them. This year there are a lot f baby pigs and goats. Andrew claims he has three goat friends now and Luke was brave to pet them from outside the cage. Allie enjoys the animals as always, but of course she had to find the goat poop to step in. I took Toni and Jesse's good camera, so I went really crazy with the pictures, especially of Allie. She likes me to take her picture, and isn't as busy playing as the boys are. It was also fun because last year she was just barely sitting, so this year I felt like I could get some great pictures of her exploring. We ended our night with a yummy McDonalds dinner on the drive home. It was a great evening and I'm sure we will be making a few more pumpkin patch visits this season.
